Strangely when I was a kid I was afraid to break rules or go to far.
I was weird about not wanting to get intro trouble... really big on not getting intro trouble

Me too. I did anything to avoid getting out of trouble. I only got in trouble a few times in my childhood, seriously.
dude... I'm the ANTI-J!:

In those terms, I found that out three months ago....you're not STJ?
I've never thought much about that. Of course I was different than the others and the others were different from each other too. So... no problem.Actually, I kinda doubt if most NTPs have a good idea, at least when they were very young, about the notion of multiple intelligence or cognitive processes, and maybe, during their early years, deep within their psyche, they actually believe that they're actually STJs.
Angst? Which angst? I've had my share of teenage angst, but I don't see what it has to do with type. It stems from not fulfilling expectations, from realizing everything you do adds to your reputation,...I think most of the NTPs angst stems from
My parents never wanted me to lose "wonder" and "curiosity" and "imagination" - whatever words they used to indicate the NeTi. Though they did want me to become more attentive to the real world.1. ESXJ parent wants the child to be STJ.
Why?2. NTP person blaming himself for discovering NeTi late. And then starts to comtemplate how much of an evolved person he would have been had he realized his NeTi way earlier.
I can't relate to this at all. Probably because I was interested in the subjects taught at school, I paid enough attention there So, again, no problems at all!3. Worse, if it's not the MBTI explanation he discovers, it's probably some psychiatric diagnosis that he has Attention Disorder.
Again I can't relate. Other people understood me before I did.Those NTPs who attained a good level of self discovery would probably attain a considerable level of maturity but are probably still disappointed with the fact that they will never be realistically understood by someone else.
knowing about MBTI and having Ti, you are always analyzing your actions, your thoughts, absolutely everything you freaking do

eek, same.
in fact, reading these responses, i'm wondering why ENTP's have a reputation as rule-breakers...?
Uhhh I never really showed many SJ characteristics and I certainly never thought I was anything related to STJs, even after discovering and studying MBTI. As a child I hated everything SJs represented.
Yeah thats what always made me doubt I was an ENTP when I first got into MBTI. I've no idea why I acted like that and still occasionally do.
eek, same.

Bad rules should be ignored because they lead to bad behavior or bad consequences. Good rules make everything work more effectively.
That could have come out the mouth of Monica in Friends... Rules are good, they keep order in the fun.... LOL
eek, same.
