No, seriously. This is making less sense by the minute.
When I first took an MBTI test, I came out as an ISTP. I was fourteen at the time and far from fully developed personality-wise, and the last five years I've never seen another S in my results. But if you include that little discrepancy, none of the four traits have been consistent from the beginning. I have been typed everything from INTJ to ENFP, and lately some tests seem to think I'm ENTP, which is all new to me. Let's go over a whole lot of facts about the everyday 10blackroses:
- I've usually been the quiet, smart and slightly (read: sometimes extremely) weird kid in every class I've ever been in.
- I have a part eidetic memory.
- I look for patterns everywhere, even where there are obvious coincidences.
- I aced a history test without having read the chapter I was being tested in.
- I'm prone to minor mental health issues (moderate depression and the usual teenage angst).
- I argue about politics with a lawyer acquaintance of mine (an ENTx).
- Politically, I am a liberal.
- I have few close friends, but I value the ones I have more than I value myself.
- I can't read an analog clock without being very concentrated.
- I have self-diagnosed dyscalculia.
- I like dogs better than cats.
- I want to be a homicide detective once I get better.
- I am the only non-neatfreak in my family and circle of friends/acquaintances.
- I gave up keeping track on the news years ago, realizing that I didn't have enough emotional energy to worry about humanitarian disasters in addition to my own problems.
- I am competitive.
- In a discussion, I tend to be the aggressor and try to corner my opponents by being more logical than them.
- I am rational but impatient; I can start a Rubix Cube-type puzzle and do fairly well, but give up because I get too upset/cranky to follow through.
- I like trying to understand what people are thinking.
- I have a black/white view on right and wrong.
- I never see something obvious as disclosed; there might always be something I've missed.
- I am angered by animal abuse.
- I care about others, but I'm too impatient to act on empathy most of the time, and I could never have a full-time job taking care of others.
- When someone close to me is suffering, leaving them in that state is never an option to me.
- I follow my moral instincts rather than the established rules.
- I don't break laws for the fun of it; however, I might break them if they don't fit in with my own principles.
- Sloppy is my middle name.
- I have an extremely vivid imagination that sometimes turn perfectly natural sentences into something that doesn't make sense to anyone but me.
- My sense of logic deviates from the norm but usually lets me draw the right conclusion.
- I speak and write English better than my mother tongue (I'm unnaturally bilingual), and I also speak some French.
- I have a vast map of information in my head that is mostly exact enough to draw conclusions that are unexpected yet correct.
- I was already the "walking encyclopedia" of my school by age six.
- I am an aggressive chess player, often forgetting everything about defense.
- I have a dry/sarcastic sense of humour.
- I like to write stories, but they usually have tragic and (hopefully) thought-provoking ends.
- I take every little drop of criticism as a brutal attack on my works.
- I prefer texting to talking on the phone.
- I dislike being hugged, but I pretend to be fine with it.
- I have an obsessive need to check if all the doors in my house are locked three or more times before I go to bed.
- I'm slow to anger, but even slower to forgive.
- When people only see a story from one angle, I often challenge them by playing devil's advocate, even though I might actually agree with them.
- I dislike to lead others, but I will if I have to.
- My best subjects in school were literature and philosophy.
- I don't like to watch others make mistakes, and I'm quick to correct i.e. grammatical errors and severe factual mistakes.
I think my most developed function is Ne, but judge for yourself.
So, what do you think? Could I be an Extravert without knowing it? Please clear this up for me.
