I realize that I may come across a little aggresive with the following post, but in no way am I trying to offend you.
You know, if you're really as sure as you seem to be about your type, why are you still looking for feedback? It seems to me that you're unwilling to budge on your preformed conclusion (that you must be some kind of NT), and that's why I deleted my second post in your other forum last night - I probably deleted it before you saw it. The impression I'm getting from you is that you aren't really interested in hearing an answer other than some variety of NT (though you claim to be open to debating on it). I would hazard a guess to say that many forum members (including myself) have simply given up trying to debate w/you because you seem to be so unopen to - even dismissive of - what they've got to say.
Also, I don't understand why you aren't taking time to do some serious research on the cognitive functions yourself, 'cause I'd assume that the majority of members on this forum don't have the time to spoon-feed you the information you need. You have all the resources you need on the Internet. Granted, there's a lot of downright awful material on the interwebs as well - which is why you should exercise prudence when you pick your resources.
Again, I'm just being frank with you and am not looking to offend. I'm sorry if I did, though.
I had thought I had typed myself correctly, and the original point of the thread was to tell people how I am atypical and use that information to help type other people. It wasn't to ask people to try to type me. But the fact was that I wanted to know if people thought I was another type because I do value being open minded. And people didn't seem to be that open minded when they were giving their opinions. I wanted evidence to the contrary, and people couldn't sufficiently explain themselves. I'm open to people convincing me I am INFP; but I'm not asking you to. I'm fine with my decision. The only reason I go on about this is that there are some people who are convinced I have made the wrong decision and that annoys them; and so I am valuing their opinion by allowing them to explain themselves. Which it's been hard to get people to do. And I think I know the cognitive functions well; it's just that apparently people think I don't know what Ti and Fi means because they think I have them mixed up. Do you understand? I'm trying to be openminded, but the only way I can be convinced is with an actual argument backed up by showing me that my argument is invalid.
