This is my first post! The reason for it is that I want to clarify whether I'm an ISTP or INTJ.Sorry for any English mistakes, it's not my native language:
I've been introduced to MBTI by a friend 2 years ago and have sporadically read about it since, but I can't tell what my cognitive functions are even though I gave a lot of thought to this recently. The only functions I am sure of are Se and Ni, but I don't know in which order, and I'm also sure I'm a thinker and an introvert. The reason I'm so unsure is that I'm either an ISTP with really strong Ni (possibly in a Ti-Ni loop), or an INTJ with strong Se. I'm not sure whether I use Ti or Te. Also not aware enought of my feelings to tell if I use Fi or Fe. I'm often told I should open up, not only because I'm quiet, but also because I don't demonstrate my feelings that well. I rarely demonstrate emotions, only to those very close to me, and I'm very slow to anger, but when I let it out it's in an explosive manner.
I can be very lazy, but I'm not sure if it's because I have no greater objective at the moment. In school, I just studied the day before tests because I didn't need to study much to get good grades, the same goes for homework and projects (I always did them, even if I didn't really want to). The aproaching deadline is what makes me do things, and at the last minute I organize myself as to study in the most effective way possible and cover everything up. Sometimes I didn't even study because some things were just common sense/simple to me. This is one of the reasons I question whether I'm a sensor or not because some intuitives say sensors often don't "get things", but I always do.
Sometimes I can be a risk taker, but I only take calculated risks, because I "just know" if I can pull it of or not. I have been called "a nerd who knows how to play sports" even though I didn't pratice that much, it's just natural to me.I value skillfull peformance and competence, so I can be somewhat competitive.
I think a lot about my future, and I was really disappointed after I discovered Mechanical Engineering is not as practical as I thought it would be.I often think what it would be like to be a Special Forces operative and wonder if I'm suited for such a job.
I can't identify myself with either type's stereotype, the mastermind who wants to conquer the world or the shotgun wielding badass ISTP, even though I would love to have a shotgun (my country's gun laws make it difficult). So, what do you people think?
