I am not sure if my first type is Eight or Four still though, but close enough. It took me a while to realize this, I think partially because I'm introverted, intuitive, and feeling, plus being a woman may have something to do with it.
Are there any other people who questioned their type for these reasons? Do you think it's funny or interesting that not all types fit the way we often look at them?
It really hit me, because I have power issues. I can't let go of stuff. I looked at Ted Bundy in court getting all controlling and cocky, yelling at people, even though he was guilty. It's like when we're on that path of being in control, we wont let anything get in the way, so I think through maturity I've learned that it's always best to humble yourself before hand, because once your in a power struggle with someone, it's hell from there; you either lose or you can't back down or let go. That's me at my worst and kind of embarrassing when you see yourself like that in other crazy people. Haha.
I think I didn't want to be an Eight because I thought it was a masculine type, and I have always been self-conscious of my masculine traits, but I have come to appreciate them. You can have a sort of masculine femininity. Or you could look at it like its a an ultimate matriarchal tone.
Any thoughts on this?
