I don't act a certain way because of 4 letters so it wouldn't affect my actions if it turned out that I'm an ISFJ instead of an INTJ. I didn't discover MBTI until much later than most people, so that probably makes some difference.I'm curious what others think.
EDIT If you mistyped yourself. If you went through life thinking you were another type.

So I guess being so influenced by ISTJ, yet apparently aware of an N preference is why you thought you were ENTJ?
It is also worthy to note, since you seem to be going with ENFP now, that ENFP and ISTJ are what is known as the "inverse relationship" of each other. They use the same primary four functions, but in reverse order (in four-process theory called the "shadow"). So you would be able to relate a lot to ISTJ processes.
If I am typed wrong it would mean that my self awareness is low or that my perception of myself is off, neither of those are great things, regardless of MBTI type. That's one of the values of MBTI typing IMO, learning how you think, how you function, how you relate to others. If I discovered that I had typed myself wrong, that would be a positive step towards the goal of self awareness.
Every time I changed my type I could feel myself adjust my behaviour slightly to fit with the type. Not consciously but more like checking whether it fits whether it is congruent.
I don't do that now.
who cares. i probably am but that doesnt mean im going to panic and act differently. i am who i am, if it fits my profile, then great. if it doesnt, my mistake.... :rolli:
May I ask: what was your pattern of behaviour before you became aware (knowledgeable of) MBTI/Jung typology - that whole theory?
In a way, this effectively asks what the point to the MBTI.
What do you think the point to it is, wolfy? Whatever you think it is, you have to imagine that it woudn't serve its point so well if someone believed themselves to be the incorrect type, because all that is said of the type they believed themselves to be wouldn't actually be applicable to them.
It was as it is now.
I don't have any doubt I'm ISFP. Especially reading the childhood stuff. I can relate too well.
I want to answer more but the question is too broad and I can't think of any framework to use.
I really can't see patterns in my behaviour. Motivations I can clearly see.
I want to answer but you know...
Please clarify.
I guess, the easiest way to tackle this Q would be to recall if there were certain behaviour/habits/traits that became highlighted, or, that you see you're trying to suppress once you became aware of them (they made sense due to your awareness of MBTI/Typology).
Maybe it's easier to recall what you stopped doing once you found out, than what either merely 'changed', or maybe you can recall, what you do more of now?
If anything?
You kinda answered, though, saying 'it was as it is now', but if you can think of some more specific instances? perhaps? i dunno.
I haven't changed. When I was really interested and trying to figure it out I would check to see if what I was doing fit.
Unless you're just wasting your time screwing around in a system you have no intention of using in a constructive way.
