Wow, I've spent over half my life acquainted with MBTI.

 

[UniqueMixture]

Isn't that, by definition, impossible?

Anyway, I first learned of it when I was 10; I'm now 28.

Heard about it in passing over the years, but didn't know what it was. Eventually run across the dichotomies, probably online, but can't wrap my brain around it, so then keep moving. I get into temperament (The APS system I talk about) through my wife, at 38. Two years later, someone introduces us to Keirsey, and from there, I learn about the MBTI system. So this is 40. It took almost another year to settle on a type. 46 now.

I'm so into it now, but seem to be such a late bloomer compared to others. I wish I knew about it when in teens, as it explained a lot of things, including part of my "weirdness" (heavy S environment). All I knew back then, was from the discussion my father gave one time about introversion and extroversion. And then, I noticed among the extroverts, that some were more light and airy, and others were more serious. For introverts, it was harder to tell the difference. He also discussed "head" vs "heart" another time. And he favored "concrete" reality over too much "abstraction".
IT seems all of this stuff is so implicit in life, even though many do not take it seriously.

He means 2-3 months ago.

Now it all makes sense.

 

[Lexicon]

Around 20-21, 27.

I always analyzed patterns I saw in people, and realized some people seemed more intuitive/in outer space more than others, but I just didn't have the fancypants names for it all, until I fell into MBTI.

Half a lifetime ago.

 

[ygolo]

Half a lifetime ago.

lol. Me too...actually more than that.

I was 14 when I first learned about it. I am now 32.

 

[ReflecTcelfeR]

I was 19. Now I am 21.

 

[RaptorWizard]

I was 8 when I learned about it, and my parents were convinced I was INTP, but by age 10 they changed their call to ISTP, and it remained that way for a long time till I was age 18 which I am now that they finally decided the way I was acting when I was 8, as an INTP was my natural state and that when I got older I just developed more S traits, but your old self cannot hide forever, and I have now reverted back to my natural state as an INTP ever since age 15, but my parents took 3 years to see it!

I always wanted an INTP sis

 

[Ism]

I always wanted an INTP bro

[SubtleFighter]

I was probably about 22, and now I'm 28.
