I wouldn't mind people assuming that about me. Those are 2 of the most revered types in all of MBTI because I mean they get awesome titles like Mastermind and Inventor and Visionary!

Yeah, beats Counselor or Idealist! I want to be called "Creator" or "Brainiac" just kidding, but no, on second thought, maybe I'm not.

I think, if given the explanation of MBTI and INTPs, everyone would agree!

If I knew people who wanted to talk or were interested in this subject I imagine they would go for.....I dont know....I only know that everyone who knows me and yes this really is the right quantifier, refers to me as odd, weird and they 'worry about me'.

I only know a few peoples irl that know anything bout mbti etc.

Only discussed my own type with one of them who was unsure between esfp and enfp for a wee while... but there were no assumptions...more... watching and calculating.

Oh wait, does vent count?

It's in the middle no?

I think most assume enfp but have had a few suggest enfj and one who really wants me to be esfp.

Most people i know dont classify in personality types....and thats thetruth of it? Where the hell do you find people who avtually go up to you and tell you that you seem like an intj ot ensp or whatever?? Seriosuly, id like to know. (btw, why is everyone here an istj? Its the most rare so is everyone pretending and lying and just filling out the test based on ehat they want to be?) people probably think im an intp and i am. Im a hardcore antisocial nerd who codes c++ for 8 hours and looks for security loopholes until 4am. I hate people and they hate me. I dislike myself and myself probably dislikes me too. Going insane as usual. You ptobably all think im an asshole now and i certainly am.

I want to see some negative type titles for a change, not just positive-sounding or neutral ones.

For what it's worth, I can tell you the problem here. Assuming you think it's a problem. It's called "coding c++ for 8 hours and looking for security loopholes until 4am." It sounds like you're making some good money, but at the same time it's destroying your soul.

From one INTP to another.

Hmm vent, that's a good point.

In that case it would be between INFP/INFJ and for some reason....ENTP and INTP lately, but ive no idea why. :shrug:

Ive never seen myself as a T type, but this is largely because 'hardcore' T's tell me im not and I imagine most T types here would point out that a true T type would not accept anothers opinion on this matter just because it is there and holds majority vote.

Yeah, this.
I find surprising how you american easily talk about other people that see you as being other type. I guess it's just because you guys learned about MBTI in high-school right? They apply assessments and stuff...
Other countries - at least mine - doesn't even know what that is. I doubt that even people majoring Psychology here study about MBTI specifically. I don't know a single person that knows about these types, and actually I pretty much like this fact...

Anyway, if people here would know about MBTI, they would probably type me as INFP or ESFP. I wouldn't judge them, even I had a hard time typing myself...

The only other person I've met IRL that has heard of MBTI was my husband.... And that was just because it was mentioned in one of his marketing classes in college... (Showing the ways to learn a person's personality to know how to sell an idea/product to them) I vaguely remember it in high school...but I don't remember us staying on it very long. If I'm not mistaken... Sociology/Psychology were optional in my high school. So, it wasn't in everyone's curriculum.

Only two people I know know anything about typology; one thinks I am INTP (she is XNFJ) and my ENFP sister says I'm whatever I think I am. Asking other people's opinions on whether they see me as more of a feeler or a thinker produces mixed results, but the collective opinion seems to be thinker. My ENTJ ex thought I was, my INFP cousin says I am a robot, and I am more of a thinker than the other 6 people in my coven.

It's an exaggeration, I hate coding of any kind and c++ is probably the worse so I normally am only able to code for like 4 hours max and my frustration gets the best of me. I don't believe in the soul...not really, I'm an atheist...maybe that's part of it.

I don't know anybody IRL who would know anything about MBTI. I would say most people would recognize me as E even if they didn't know anything about types.

It's a dead even tie between ENFP and ENTP: half think I'm ENFP, and the other half think I'm ENTP.
