ENTJ or ENTP??
Riiiight, I've had this problem before and I thought I had it figured out but I'm having second thoughts about my interpretation of NeTi and TeNi.
Let's see if anyone has the time to look through this list of facts...
-I am 99% sure I'm NT. That is, I almost always test as NT, although I've gotten INFp and INFj.
-Whenever I speak to anyone other than my close friends, I come across as either shy, stupid, coldhearted, ditzy, lethargic, or arrogant. Or some combination. It sort of depends.
-I'm a really messy person, and everyone tells me that, but in truth I have everything organized... in a messy sort of way. If something doesn't fit a system I've arranged (e.g. a stack of class notes in the wrong order), it bothers me, although this doesn't mean I'll fix it.
-I guess I like to be in charge of things/people, but in truth I don't think I'm very good at it as I'm prone to forgetting things or slacking off, and I hate doing things wrong or embarrassing myself, so I tend to avoid being put into positions of power.
-I'm really good at math, especially algebra. However, when I'm given a problem to solve, I often discover some new theory, concept, or formula, and then waste a lot of time pursuing this new idea. When I'm done I'll do the bare minimum amount of work to actually complete the problem. (GOSH, i just can't get enough of those formulas.)
-I procrastinate terribly. TERRIBLY. Everyone I know thinks I'm a slacker. (And then I get my report card and I prove them wrong!)
-I like arguing, I suppose, but I don't exactly pick fights with people. If someone says something that's outright not true, or stupid, I will contest it. My favorite feeling is winning an argument.
-I love my friends, and I consider a day wasted if I haven't talked to any of them.
-I can be QUITE LOUD and fast-talking if I'm comfortable enough.
-My closest friends (iNFP, ISFP, INTJ, iNTP, EnTP, iSFJ) think I'm some kind of evil genius, and that one day I will rule the world (well, except for the INTP, he's convinced HE will rule the world). They also think that if this happens, the world is screwed, because I'll forget to feed it, as if it's some kind of pet or toy I have.
-When I was younger, I used to plan utopian societies in my head, and I would spend lots of time daydreaming of myself as some character in some kind of fantasy world. Lately, though, I've decided there's little to no reason to think about potential worlds because we've got what we've got.
-I dislike making decisions, mostly because I know there's never one best answer. (And that people hate it when other people make decisions for them.)
-I hold myself to high standards, academically, although I put in the least amount of effort possible to reach them (which really isn't that much effort, for me). I find it hard to motivate myself for other things, like eating right and exercising enough. Or cleaning my room. Or just standing up from the couch
-I've been described as both quirky and stubborn.
-I like to define things and eliminate (or sometimes just FIND) loopholes.
-As you've probably noticed, for an NT, I'm very self-conscious. I wasn't always, but I've been putting extra effort into it for the past few years.
Wow... reading over this... i'd say this was TOO MUCH INFORMATION. whatever. i'm posting it.
