Now that I know my type, what can I do with it?

[wolfy]

What are the practical uses?

 

[Quinlan]

Uh oh, the fatal question for a sensor to ask of MBTI.

 

[wolfy]

I know! I'm sure somebody can answer it.

 

[Costrin]

Walk up to random people and be like "yo I'm an ISFP that means I'm crazy awesome lets have sex."

That's cool but... come on Mr Costrin, give me a real answer. I know you can.

 

[Lady_X]

• Buy a t-shirt
• lecture and preach to others the joys of knowing your type
• Use it to excuse all your weaknesses
• Impress bimbos

I've answered this question in Vent a bunch of times, but you keep not being there, and I'm too lazy to type it, so you lose.

What are the practical uses?

Pondering the implications of your type, IMO, accelerates personal growth.

For example, you're an ISFP, right?

This makes your inferior function Te. I wouldn't be surprised if you have often failed to live up to many of the contracts of the social structure, and justified it with your tertiary Ni by saying that it is all a shallow, dehumanizing lie. In reality though perhaps you regret missing the countless opportunities to succeed that you've missed.

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but MBTI tells us that this is a problem for ISFPs in general, and knowing this could help you recognize it in yourself.

Well, that's my 2 cents.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Seriously?

Knowledge is nothing if not applied.

• lecture and preach to others the joys of knowing your type

How do I impress women with it? I'm intrigued.

I replied to your optimism thread three times. Type it out.

 

[Costrin]

Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses, mostly.
But I find understanding other types more helpful, so you can realize that their way of doing things isn't necessarily wrong, and you can interact better with them.

And stuff.

That is true, you're right. Those are good points.
What can I do then?

 

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

OBVIOUSLY...use it to pick up chicks by showcasing and discussing your strengths.

I like the stuff part too.

I don't like using it with others, I'm interested in the strengths and weaknesses side of it.

I don't know. I'm battling similar issues myself. I think the only thing you can really do is recognize your true feelings and stop rationalizing your procrastination of getting what you really want out of life.

Unless he bumps into NT chicks. Then, they'll just change shift the subject to showcasing their own stengths.

That only works on an MBTI forum. IRL you need to produce the goods.

 

[wolfy]

Give me something real, something solid.
