Typically, if it's job-related, I'd answer as Tater would.. as that's the most apt response for a broad inquiry like this. I don't really attribute this to knowing my type; it's been the same formula since I started working at 14. Know what people want, share what you've done to illustrate what you're capable of and willing to do/learn. /shrug
Knowing MBTI didn't change anything really- it merely added terms for a kind of understanding that was already there, if that makes sense.
When it's a stranger who asks me, "Tell me about yourself," or [I moved a lot growing up] - when teachers tried to make me answer this.. I used to stumble through my hobbies, where I was from.. etc. Scraping around my mental filing cabinet for something that "fit." Eyes darting about the classroom, glancing at desktops as if the answers would be there. Hated it. Sometime in elementary school I started asking "why?" instead. I kind of understood back then that disciplinary action in elementary school had no actual bearing on my life (there is no "Permenant Record" - the after-school-specials lied, guys). So part of me stopped caring about how uncomfortable asking "why?" made people. I knew I wasn't truly doing something "wrong." This didn't earn me more or less friends, but sometimes it seemed to gain me some respect from people, including teachers, however most of them seemed irritated more than anything else.
I've done the same thing ever since. I go to see a friend's band play a show at a bar.. unfamiliars arrive, as well. One picks up conversation with me. "Tell me about yourself," or "What's your major?" "Where are you from?" I always ask "Why?" - and smile a bit at the pause, the flicker in their eye when the thought track gets shoved over, the vinyl scratch. Then I usually take apart that very introductory social protocol, noting how awkward stock questions can be, making some jokes here and there, point out that I'm a social retard, & more or less accept it. Seems to loosen things up. The person tends to stop fishing for questions/words, and we begin organically interacting (vs just exchanging info lists) like we've known eachother for much longer than we have. Either that, or they give me a blank look and get uncomfortable with the unexpected response.. but that's been sort of rare. In the end, no one's night seems wrecked, no one's offended, so.. I just go with it my own way. I do try to be nice to people no matter what, but, just because a stranger asks doesn't mean I owe them an answer, either way.. I don't particularly mind. The majority of the time, though, refusing to really answer that question seems to sufficiently answer it simultaneously, and we both pick up a new friend or pleasant acquaintance to say hello to at the next show.
Again, I dunno if that has anything to do with knowing my type (doubtful) - I also don't bring MBTI up to people in regular conversation.
I haven't spent much time around anyone beyond my insane family, and doctors for far too long.. so I'm interested in seeing how I'll handle interacting with the world again. Probably going to be a big twitchy weirdo for awhile.
