I get this [MENTION=29921]awbro[/MENTION] because I still have questions about my typing. I have no problem admitting that I am still in flux when considering it and be wrong in my own assumptions.
Honestly, I can relate a lot to what [MENTION=19700]Anaximander[/MENTION] is saying re: typing being murky if other factors are present. This year (co-inciding with my time on the forum) has been the largest year of transition in life circumstances I have ever had. I have been upending long-held habits and beliefs, changing careers, implementing more healthy boundaries and struggling with the processing of grief and what’s involved in moving on. Lots has been positive but I’ve also made mistakes and this year has felt like a LOT of action/reflection/change/practical implementation.
So, that may play a part in things.
I feel the most kinship (at this point in time) with: ISFJ, ISFP, or INFP.
I try to observe other people and take note of their type if I relate to them.
- I will probably forget people… but the member’s who most provoke the feeling of “wow, my brain would have thought or written EXACTLY like that or I would have done what they are describing†are: [MENTION=25763]Enthusiastic_Dreamer[/MENTION], [MENTION=29687]Eskimo2[/MENTION], [MENTION=22178]magpie[/MENTION], [MENTION=10082]Starry[/MENTION] (though my brain is less interesting in manifestation), [MENTION=4398]Giggly[/MENTION], [MENTION=5494]Amargith[/MENTION], [MENTION=360]prplchknz[/MENTION], [MENTION=9811]Coriolis[/MENTION], [MENTION=1180]miss fortune[/MENTION], [MENTION=10714]Qlip[/MENTION], [MENTION=9627]Xann[/MENTION] and [MENTION=24824]Kas[/MENTION].
- STP’s like [MENTION=12103]Poki[/MENTION], [MENTION=5223]MDP2525[/MENTION] and [MENTION=22257]Floki[/MENTION] give me a different feeling. I feel like I ‘recognize’ their thinking and it is familiar & welcome. But, I see clearly how we walked different paths to get there. Same with NTP's like [MENTION=29287]Obfuscate[/MENTION] or [MENTION=71]JAVO[/MENTION].
- With NFJ's or NTJ's like [MENTION=7111]fidelia[/MENTION], [MENTION=7842]Z Buck McFate[/MENTION], [MENTION=14015]Urarienev[/MENTION], [MENTION=19719]Forever[/MENTION], [MENTION=26281]geedoenfj[/MENTION], [MENTION=26674]theforsaken[/MENTION]... I get a feeling of kinship from their actions and expressions too but it is different. I feel like I am snorkelling and I can see them scuba diving below me. We are enjoying the same environment and can wave to each other but are navigating it differently.
I also relate A LOT to [MENTION=23400]Spanky[/MENTION] Mcfly is some ways. Even though we may seem different from a superficial perspective, I think we share a lot of the same ways of arriving at things that are in the existential realm.
Not sure if that offers insight or just confuses things?
I think your type is difficult to pin down because you've developed the ability to use a lot of cognitive functions.
What's most apparent to me from your above post is how you are able to relate to many different types of people. You have something really special that draws people to you. Even when you're not able to truly relate to someone else, you can respect and make room for their perspective.
I don't know if it makes sense to reduce that down to a cognitive function. Whatever it is, it's special.
