Some of the points of confusion:
E vs I
E
-I'm very talkative
-Sometimes interrupt people
-Interested in the world of people
-Love to discuss ideas or theories and share my opinions
-Enjoy many extroverted activities: baseball games, amusement parks, etc (not a fan of concerts or clubs though)
-Am competitive in a fun way
-Don't mind being the center of attention and generally enjoy leadership roles
I
-Spend a lot of time in my head
-Hate approaching new people or introducing myself
-Dodge calls from friends
-Not big on parties
-Tend to be private/reserved
-Generally prefer to gather my thoughts before presenting them
-When I don't know someone well or am not totally comfortable with them, I can be passive and even timid or overly friendly. I use humor a lot in these situations. This flips completely when I'm comfortable with people. Around people I know well, I am outgoing, decisive, and usually the initiator or leader.
N
-Never notice surroundings - very stuck in my head
-*MAJOR daydreaming - See below
-Love theories and new ways of looking at things
-Unobservant
-Tendency to summarize/generalize
-Have quirky points of view
-Love to imagine my life 10 years in the future
-Not good with the "here and now"
S
-Extremely good associative memory (particularly with dates). I can easily remember the date something happened 20 years ago just by linking it to other things until I can zero in. Other kinds of memory are weak: no memory for faces or places or even plots of books I've read/movies I've seen.
-Good hand-eye coordination
-Generally grounded in life
-No interest in sci-fi, fantasy, animation... tend to like real and relatable worlds to explore
-Like nonfiction and reference books more than fiction
-Kinesthetic learner (generally an SP trait)
T
-When someone comes to me with a problem, I generally want to solve it rather than comfort the person... empathy is not my strong suit
-I love making all kinds of lists. Even when I speak, I'll often lay out my points A.B. and C...
-Good grasp of logic
-More comfortable with thoughts than feelings
-Tendency to be opinionated and critical
-No artistic ability whatsoever; pretty low artistic interest as well
-High critical thinking skills
F
-Interests include politics (especially political philosophy), history, religion, ethics/morals, demography, and sports. Most of these (except sports) are stereotypically Feeler interests. Not big on science.
-Tend to be a subjective thinker, if that makes sense. For instance, I generally have an opinion on most everything which is usually associated with T over F (particularly Te). But an opinion is by nature subjective, so why shouldn't it be classified as a Feeler trait? This is something I need to understand better.
-I do care what others think about me
-Spend time formulating values systems
-Not particularly intellectually curious unless I care about the subject. If I need tech support for example, I just want the problem fixed - don't really care how the system works.
P
-Like to have an open schedule. I feel confined having to be in certain places at certain times
-Some spaces are messy (somewhat messy car, desk, drawers and closets)
-Dress casually and prefer casual environments
-Not good with finances or responses needed (often late on bill paying, forget to send things in that need to be sent...)
-Bad with correspondences (I always "owe someone a call" and thank-you notes are a major weakness as well)
-Work in bursts of activity
J
-Like to get work done before play
-Like to have things settled and concluded
-Tend to reach conclusions about outside world
-Not really laid back; easily frustrated
-For what its worth, I think I'm an enneagram type 1
-Like to have a clean and orderly house
-Create systems for doing many things
-Possibly some OCD tendencies (undiagnosed)
*I'm going to take a minute to describe this one: For my entire life I have done this sort of daydreaming thing that is apparently pretty unusual (I didn't actually know it was unusual until I was in my mid-20s). I zone out completely and play out an entirely different world with fully created characters and storylines. I don't consciously write the stories and I have never been a character in any of them (occasionally, people I know will be in them but never as major characters). After some time (generally a number of years), the world and the characters will change. No conclusion. I don't try to make it change, it just sort of... does. I've probably gone through fewer than a dozen total storylines in my life. This process is entirely separate from my everyday life: I do not at all come across as a daydreamy person and I never share or write the stories. No lines are ever blurred between fantasy and reality, and for most of my life I really did not think this was even unusual. Last year I googled around a bit and found something called Maladaptive Daydreaming that fits almost perfectly. The only major difference is that mine was not the result of any trauma and I never saw it as a bad or disruptive thing... just a way my mind worked.
