This is a new combination tritype I haven't explored too in-depth in the past. [MENTION=10082]Starry[/MENTION] suggested it along with ISFP. I usually take typoC members' typings of me with a grain of salt, but she has a way of peering inside of me.
I will start by replying to [MENTION=24643]Frosty[/MENTION] and continuing over the discussion from the
mistype thread:
I agree with much of this. Not being direct is related to or maybe a result of my own tendency to second-guess and question my decisions, assumptions, etc. It makes me come off as indecisive and wishy-washy. It frustrates other people, which then frustrates me because I'm really not, I'm just weighing everything and accounting for the new scenarios that my brain continually generates. Very difficult for me to reach closure in that regard.
Except for proof-reading. I'm almost the opposite. I'll continually re-edit a post even once it's been up for days. I'm always seeing something in my old posts or writings that needs refining or rewording. Everything is a work in progress for me. At some point I just have to abandon things. It's why I have difficulty making music, because I get so hung up on trying to analyze a piece and re-edit it. My best experience making music was always just jamming and free-flowing with other musicians and seeing what came out of it--it forced me to just live in the moment and become one with the creation process, rather than stand outside of it like an architect. I miss my old band.
This could be more indicative of MBTI quirks than enneatype though. I've read INTPs have issues with this, particularly the part about reediting old posts. I'm not saying I think I'm an INTP, just noting an area where I might identify with Ti users. However, I won't make this a type me thread or take it off-topic from 469 discussions. Let us get back to that topic.
