Windows is the error. I am the true form.

I agree about Windows. It is little better than a virus. Got rid of it at home years ago.

Funny, I just read that article a couple of hours ago.

Seems like the usual stereotyping to me actually, doesn't give any valid pointers or deep insights, just obvious things really. Oh and all of the mistypes are intuitives and they are most likely sensors 90% of the time, while statistically speaking there are more sensors than intuitives (which is also probably because the less intelligent intuitives get stereotyped as dumb sensors and vice versa) in reality mistyping as an INTJ or INFJ doesn't make you more likely to be an ISTJ or ISFJ specifically.

Bottom line is that article is garbage in more ways than one. Even the "good" things in it are bloody obvious and don't help much anyway.

Yeah, same old to a point. But that depends on how well read on the subject the reader is, and whether you read things as gospel or as a thought provoker.

I think there is some truth to the dom Nx types being misrepresented often in forums, especially the feelers. In a way these four types should be the most abstract and theoretical, and all very open minded regardless of intelligence. Like a closed minded non-philosophical INFJ probably isn't an INFJ, and an ENFP who doesnt question everything and spend their time contemplating crazy theories probably isn't an ENFP. Still there can be this super focus on the F part of types on forums that ignores this and says theoretical is NT. It doesn't just mean some Nx doms who are feelers put T in their type because they are obviously theoretical and not particularly emo, but also some who are very feelery and not at all theoretical incorrectly choose Nx dom feeler.

The rigid INTJs probably aren't INTJs also. The ENTP trolls probably are ENTP :), but some seem very linear and rigid for Ne dominants.

One thing we need to keep in mind here is that, if we are determining closed-mindedness, lack of questioning, interest in crazy theories, rigidity, etc. based on behavior, or even self-reported preferences, these can sometimes be strongly influenced by extenuating circumstances. People experiencing crises, extreme stress, abuse, or even work demands can develop and internalize habits that go against their inherent preferences, making them appear to be another type. Someone who knows them well, especially in a setting free from these influences, can see through all this - and help them see it themselves - but that might explain some of the mistyping.

I don't play video games. I maintain websites, score music, and do calculations and plotting mostly, and have yet to run into anything that requires me to use windows.

I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT


EDIT: Nevermind. I just realized (remembered) I posted it in the TC server.
My bad.
