You can make it seem trivial, but there is definitely a difference in the way an ISTJ vs. an INTP would approach a discussion and I see it every day. Because of Ne auxiliary there is not only intuitive leaps, there is a tentativeness and whimsy that is not seen with the ISTJ. Your posts are very regimented and structured, and you have a penchant for directing your threads, all of which would be attributed to Te and not Ti.So then you main input here is that you perceive my arguments and/or posts to be built up point-by-point rather than utilizing a few intuitive leaps?
I've posted in your other threads with other reasons why. Obviously, you're the only person who knows your true type and I can only speak from what I've seen of you. But that's been my impression and the impression of others.
The problem with accepting your post as outlined above is that it makes the assumption it is trying to prove. Namely, it explains the phenomenon of me having INTx-like traits if I were an ISTJ. It's a valid deduction given the input, but it can't be used to justify said input. Your interpretation would be a consequence of me being ISTJ, not vice versa.
I'm not saying you have INTx like traits, in fact I'm saying the opposite. I'm only explaining why I've come to think you are ISTJ, not beginning from the premise of you being ISTJ and proving my point from there.
