[INTJ] INTJ Poll: What's Your Birth Order?

[Kalach]

I'm eldest (by 18 months and 7 years respectively) of three.

I was INTJ before they knew what to do with me. Mother (I think ISFJ) claims my character was evident even before I learned to walk.

Dunno my father's type. Really can't tell.

Younger bro, dunno, he's not with us any more.
Much younger sis, also don't quite know, but she might well be ESFJ.

I have exactly the same situation.
It can quite hard to be a parent to INTJ.

I'm the oldest in a family with an ESFP mother and siblings who are most likely E's, and S's.
I was always told I was "wrong" or "needed therapy" for my introversion and especially indifference.

Until I found out that INTJ's even existed and were out there in the world. That was a very nice experience.

Yeah, I've always been an INTJ. I'm different from the rest of my strong F family (with the exception of a much-older iNfj brother that I was never really close to until I entered high school). Still, they were always pretty understanding of me, especially when it came to my need for space and my strong will. If they had tried to force me to be like them or took away my right to pass on things I didn't want to do, I would have had a really, really hard time...

Birth order affects people mostly in the context of their family, I believe; outside of that people might seem different.

My INTJ brother is the third boy in a family of five kids = middle.
