Lol and this is why I ask a forum worth of similar-minded folks
Question though: If someone asks you/gets you something that you tell them to, doesn't that ruin the surprise and make it less special? Or maybe you guys aren't all that into surprises
I have no idea.
Problem: If I want it I already have it. Therefore it has sentimental or practical value I have it. The best idea: present me a gift which I am
unaware of but that I can enjoy. If it is a romantic gift, do something with me that interests me and which interests you; but generally don't make it something that requires lots of socialization. I have liked such things as this in the past: Racing cars, going to eat somewhere nice, shared massages. Things I have disliked: 'Romantic' going to gigs, 'romantic' spending time with friends etc. You get the idea, or maybe not.
What are some major similarities/differences that you see between yourself and your 1-letter-different brethren (ENTJ, ISTJ, INFJ, INTP)?
ISTJ
Similarities - Kindered spirits in modes of thought, like structure are stable and if they share your interests then you can't lose.
Differences - Can get offended by the shifting nature of my existence, I can spotaneously move for work etc. This is anathema to them, you are rocking their boat of life.
ENTJ
Similarities - Lots of similarities, same ways of thinking and reacting. I find their honesty and directness refereshing.
Differences - Less content than we are. However they are very single minded. I don't know left here except Jaguar who I class as ENTJ as the ENTJs I know in the real world.
INFJ
Similarities - Not very much at all; as an ILI-Te I jive best with IEI-Fe types because we can find common benchmarks
Differences - Lots and lots, totally different values and ways of spending their time and how they think about problems. I would say these are very alien to me.
INTP
Similarities - Likes similar 'ideas' but thinks of them differently.
Differences - Lots and lots again. May appear superficially similar but on the inside its an alien who is offended at even the slightest questioning of the 'why' they do things. They don't bear much introspection.
