INFP? (Now w/ poll!)
I don't know, I've been reconsidering my type lately. This test had me at ENFJ, and the "Quick Guide To Double-Checking Your Type" thread had me at ENFP. I'm not even necessarily sure if Feeling is taking the wheel these days; it seems more and more often it's taking a backseat to Thinking. Most people would guess my type as ENTP. Big 5 tests would have me at INTP.
Most of the problems I have with identifying as INFP are really the same. I'm a very active, dynamic person - I never lack motivation, I tend to take a very dominant role in social situations, and I just always do things from a point of strength; if anyone tries to take advantage of me, I can never just lie down and take it. I was depressed for most of my life, but the whole time, I never allowed myself to give up on being better. I never stopped working on improving my state of mind, and I sure as hell didn't expect anyone else to accept it, either.
Basically, I'm not a fluffy bunny. I've got a fuzzy wuzzy side, but I go through life like a ruggedly handsome explorer from some century past, hacking away at the brush. (Well, that was some NF over-romanticizing of myself!)
I'm not particularly Extroverted, by which I mean I most prefer the company of myself, but as time goes by I become more and more confident and comfortable in social situations, and I often take the lead now in a group, especially if no one else is stepping up.
I am very strongly iNtuitive, of this I have little doubt. I had to train myself a lot to do Sensor type functions very well at all
Feeling/Thinking - I've always thought of myself as a Feeler, but I also have Asperger's and I think lately, Thinking seems to be taking a priority.
Judging/Perceiving - I've always had a conflict on this continuum. I am not very neat or organized, never have been. As I've gotten older, I've started to have more Perceiving traits such as wanting to leave some flexibility in my schedule, stressing out more AFTER I turn in work than BEFORE (and therefore procrastinating), wanting more and more experiences and more information so I can maximize the broadness of my perspective on things, and I like starting projects and struggle to ever finish them.
However, it really bothers me when somebody shows up to an event late, tries to change our plans once we've reached an agreement, lacks motivation, etc, and I never display those traits, at all.
