As some of you may have learned through conversations via Ventrilo and elsewhere, I view type as a bit more of a "static" state in the sense that I cannot, under any reasonable circumstances, be 100% sure that I am any one type. MBTI is, by no means, an exact science. Therefore, I tend to juggle a few possible types in my head that I consider to be possibilities and juggle their ranking and likelihood of being my type around as new information presents itself to me.

The purpose of this thread is to see if the general conclusions about my type I've reached through introspection line up with the general impression I give to others through my interactions on this forum and related areas, all for a more holistic approach.

I think that, considering the amount of time you spend being unsure of your type, you are very clearly INTP :D

Somehow I knew this response would happen.

Aw. I'm sorry to be predictable dear.

I leave the serious discussion to members who have interacted with you more frequently :)

Didn't you ever hear the "If you think you're INTX, you're INTP" argument before?

You'll need to pop on Vent sometime.

I wasn't aware it was such a cliche! Clearly I'm missing a whole other section of this forum by abstaining from Vent.

INTJ unless he's been faking. Could be borderline, but chess is more of an INTJ thing--closed system of rules. INTPs do better when rules are arbitrary.

I voted ISTJ, but I could see INTJ. Definitely not Ti dominant, at any rate. You allow for too many variables! I mean, just look at your opening post!

I haven't voted yet, but I'd like to say that I miss the ISTJ Matthew. He made being an ISTJ cool.

Awww.

Thanks. :)

Unless you're insinuating that you don't like the INTP Matthew. If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to put lots of mean smilies in your threads.

Even with all of our conversations, his is the best quality post you can make? Son, I am dissappoint.

(Yes, that's my elaborate way completing the 'Son, I am dissapoint' meme.)

No I admit, it's damn hard to internet type people and I cant say with 100% sureness that u are this or that type.

I told you before, I basically used the socionics quadra thing as help. But you told me before that you translate the mbti types into the socionics types. That's one way of putting it, my way of putting it was to see the types as the same in mbti and socionics but accepting that socioncs has a different approach in describing the functional system.

So I never really tried to translate the mbti type into socionics but if you do, you maybe find out over the quadra descriptions what suits you better.

Thats all I got Dad, I still got not a small clue about that whole typology thing :D

I like INTP Matthew fine. He's an exemplary specimen of and a welcome addition to the finest type of all--but our gain is ISTJ-dom's loss.

INTP. You have Ti as your dominant function right? Seem to intuitive to be a sensor, I guess I'm the only one so far to vote for INTP, but then again what do I know... you know yourself best, I would say.


He made being an ISTJ cool.

Hah!

I think you're either INTP or INTJ. You have a J-ish quality about you. I won't vote because I am torn between these two and I don't know you well enough to choose one.

I threw in INTP just for the what the heck...

But seriously, it doesn't matter which you are. If I'm INFJ using tertiary Ti and I understand you fine and vice versa, then I'll go with you using Ti more than Te.
