So I'm having a hard time discerning my mbti type as I have been closeted for 20 years of my life. In the past I was extremely nervous and very reserved in social situations, so it was difficult to correctly gauge my mbti. I think going off my research of the functions I'm either an ENTP, INTP, or maybe an INFJ. But I'm just not sure. Here's a few things about me that might help to know:
-My friends describe me as extremely laid back (and this completely true) Yet I work hard for school, and always finish assignments
- I'd rather have a quiet night in with a good book, watching netflix with a good friend, writing stories, or chatting with a few close friends then go out and party.
- I'm get tired of coming out to people because the endless conversations about my feels are exhausting and draining for me, I'd much rather be talking about how art and science intersect, astrophysics, painting, philosophy, metacognition.
- I hate gossip and drama with a passion.
-I'm extremely creative, I paint, draw, and write fiction. Currently painting and writing seem to be my two passions.
- When writing I become one with the character, and its almost like the words and stories that pour out of me aren't mine.
- My friends have said that I'm one of the easiest people to talk to.
- I can get along with almost anyone with out a problem.
- I love to get complements about my intellect or my ability to take a rational approach to life.
- I can be quite stubborn at times
- I have an extremely good memory and can remember the smallest details about my friends. In fact I'm often able to piece together clues from their life that I've observed and figure out what's going on with them.
- Despite what people think, I'm not that easily offended
- I genuinely care about my close friends and always try to think about how my actions might influence them.
-I'm always honest. If I think a friend is making a mistake in his or her life I will tell him or her directly, but in the nicest way possible.
- I get extremely drained from talking about my feelings
- I love possibilities, theorizing, talking about science, math, physics, chemistry, art, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, medicine, literature, music, ect. . . and how these things all link together. I talking or even just thinking about these things energizes me (but start talking about relationships and feelings and you've lost me. I try to stay focused and be kind, but I get sick and tired of it quickly)
That's all I can think of for now, so what do you think my type is? I think I'm some sort of rational, but I'm not sure.
