Exactly thats what i mean. Fungi and plants share similar traits on the surface such as both not moving,having cell walls, having a root system but when you look deeper (Looking at cognitive functions) you will see they have literally nothing in common (Fungi "eat" while plants use sunlight for food, fungi use glycogen while plants use starch and so on).

From a scientific perspective there's a huge difference between a Fern and a squirrel.

I took an official MBTI test for my career planning class.

E 6

I 15

S 13

N 13

F 15

T 9

J 5

P 17

I was given INFP even though I was tied on S/N.

I moderate
N slight
F moderate
P clear

So I'm an IXFP

With that enneagram I would say ISFP.

Yeah I'm always dubious of the forer effect, but I realized over time I really identify with a lot of the same definitions...in different systems. ..except for the whole thing about ISFP being unassuming and lovable doormats, I've never been like that...but I'm also not an E9, and I honestly don't see that in Bob Dylan, Prince, Lana del Rey or Jean-Jacques Rousseau....I see revolutionary, subversive, opinionated people who put themselves out there for others while still acknowledging their own humanity and/or sensuality. People I live with always tell me I'm unusually quiet to live with, the way I shut doors or put away dishes, but aside from that I can't imagine a person further from "non-opinionated doormat" than I. I just don't fit ENFJ because I don't "meddle"...I'm like yes please give me my peace and privacy thank you and maybe that comes across to E types irl as quiet and unassuming. I think the INFX running my colleges Eco club is much more diplomatic. She's just like "I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings" while being so ....ethical. I can't imagine being as ascetic as she is at 21. I'm all like ...yes....Se v. Ni. I think she's an INFJ. Could be an INFP. I dunno.


I mean, did you want to be a concrete and not an abstract thinker? XD

I feel like INTP would have been valid from about middle to high school years, and then something sort of happened and I fell off the beaten path. I think it was right around when the social justice movement picked up steam, as before then I was basically one of the most stringent people out there, whereas after I sort of softened a bit ideologically. I basically realized I couldn't keep up with my own dictates, on some level, and to a degree I had an out because what constitutes an acceptable moral idea is kind of arbitrary anyway.

But...

Yeah. I'm not sure whether I'd be ascetic or not by your standards--on the one hand I very much eat for enjoyment, and probably would watch tons of movies if I had a bit more money, but I try not to buy anything at most shops, and have pretty much decided I hate partying with a passion (it's just boring. How do people keep entertained for that long by dancing?). XD
