What's your temperament and how do you blink?

Do both eyes blink shut involuntarily?

For instance:

Or do the eyes blink independently, but still involuntarily?

Example:

Or are you a pirate?

Hmm. NTs are the most objective--and therefore independent--thinkers, so I would guess that their eyelids would tend to blink independently of one another.

Moreover, Ps thrive in environments where they can multitask, where Js tend to focus on one aspect of reality at a time. Therefore, Ps are more likely to blink both of their eyelids at the same time, and Js concentrate on one at a time.

So I guess xNTJs would be the type most prone to blinking one eyelid at a time?? Does anyone else agree??

My primary way of blinking is both eyes at once. I didn't know anyone did otherwise. My blinking is more unusual in that I do it a lot.

NTs also tend to be the Shoe, sock, shoe, sock types as well.

I love typology!

Well I would think that if your eyes blink independently, you probably have some type of neurological disorder. Normally, everyone should be blinking with both eyes at once.

Well, both my eyelids have the intention of blinking together, but the right eyelid almost always goes down first. This seems kind of synonymous with anarchical tendencies...fighting the "man," fighting the norm, fitting in is just a fleeting thought that's quickly overtaken by a natural impulse to be different. It's subtle and not that noticeable to everyone, but it's there as if to say "not everyone HAS to blink a certain way, we are complex biological beings with complex and different methods of doing things."

Very NT if you ask me. :yes:

:laugh:
