Hi everyone - figured after reading through enough of these threads, I should introduce myself. I didn't enter a type. Skimming over the other intros, I see most people led with that, so I guess I'm a bit behind the curve. I still haven't figured it out with certainty though (and I promise, it isn't for a lack of research). I'm hoping some of the people on this board can help clarify it for me, but there's plenty of time for that. For now, just looking forward to getting to know everyone.

:hi: Welcome! We'll have you typed in no time. I'm guessing you're a P. Don't ask why, I feel it.

And the name "Ruthie" always reminds me of "7th Heaven".

That's one of the things that's causing the most difficulty in my typing. I THINK like a J, but I ACT like a P. Unless I'm comfortable in a situation - then I think the J part shows up more.

My Ni tells me FP based on the first post alone.


But Ni's a myth anyway so... :p

Hi! I see "Ruthie" but I keep reading "Roofie". Hmmm... something to think about.

Have you been able to lock down any of the functions?

First of all - thanks for the welcome. Seems like a very friendly board so far.

The arguments:

E/I

-I talk a lot. As obnoxious as it sounds, I probably talk more than I listen.
-I'm comfortable giving group presentations (and often excel at them)
-Sometimes I'll speak before thinking
-I think out loud
-I'm always happy to share my latest idea/thought/opinion

BUT...

-I like a lot of alone time
-I enjoy solitary walks
-I often dodge phone calls from friends
-I have a hard time approaching new people
-I can be very private

N/S

-I think in patterns, metaphors, theories, analogies, etc...
-I usually see the big picture
-I'm completely unobservant
-I'm comfortable with concepts
-I miss details
-I link seemingly unrelated pieces of information
-I have a tough time following rules and procedures

BUT...

-I value loyalty, community, family, tradition, etc...
-I have good hand-eye coordination
-I don't have near-supernatural hunches
-I have a good memory for dates
-I love history

T/F

-I love to debate ideas and theory
-I don't mind conflict - actually enjoy it sometimes
-I have a tough time showing emotion, and can come across as awkward when I try
-I usually lay out a position in point-by-point form
-I'm uncomfortable with casual physical contact
-I'm very analytical

BUT...

-I always side with my friends and family, even if it's irrational
-I'm not cold or emotionless
-I've gravitated toward Feeler jobs
-I go into things knowing which "side" I'm on, as opposed to taking an objective approach

J/P

-I see things in terms of Right and Wrong
-I like structure
-I tend to piece things together in a hierarchical order (Thing A is BETTER than Thing B...)
-I like to have order in my world - and I can have high expectations of the people close to me
-I don't have much of a need for adventure or spontaneity (wow, I sound fun)

BUT...

-I'm not all that ambitious
-I procrastinate a lot
-Most people who have worked for me would describe me as laid back
-My desk is messy (even though my house is clean)
-I'm certainly not a workaholic
-I'm usually pretty friendly with people
-I like to laugh and joke around; I'm certainly not overly serious

You're doing well then. BryNTP thinks of Roofie, so given the choice, I'll take the 7th Heaven reference. :)

I see eNxJ. The only thing I know for sure is actually the N part. Other than that I'm guessing. =P

Seem like a J to me too. What do you test as?
Oh. And hello. :)

The tests have been pretty useless for me - the only consistency has been the N (which is actually kind of disappointing, because I love the down-to-earthiness of the SJs).

Thanks - just took it. It's giving me a possible match of INTJ.

Apparently my highest function though is Te though (with Ti a close second). My worst function is Fe. I would've thought the T/F split would've been closer, and in fact, the Fi function ranked somewhere in the middle, so I guess I'm not totally emotionless.

Not sure what I think of the accuracy of this test: INTJ is a possibility, I guess.

Welcome to the nuthouse. Looks like a bunch of people have already named you a project.

Works for me. I've gone to those beautician-training places to get free haircuts, I've been meaning to stop by a massage training school for a free massage, why not get a free typing from the experts who do it for sport?
