For most of my life I have typed as INFP. During my undergraduate years in my late 20s and early 30s, I was INTP for a time. I am sometimes ISTP. I don't know why. When I read about functions, I think I am most like the INFP. I am very aware of my feelings and why I feel the way I do, and I apply that to understand others, too.
About me: I like lots of alone time. I love to read. When I was younger, I was preferred fiction, but now mostly non, as the internet has hurt my ability to focus and concentrate. I am big on social justice. I can't stand injustice. I have been known to speak out about it (well on the internet), to the detriment of my career (people actually tattle. Grownups tattle!). People have told me I have no filter (not true, I just think it is important to be honest). I am told I have a great heart. I crave people and social events, but am unpopular and get frustrated when I don't get lots of time to myself. My ENFJ husband has been known to follow me around, but I never need that from him. I am thrilled when the room is all mine. I am very logical most of the time, but I am also an easy crier on sentimental things (but I hide my feelings towards others-this is the area where I may seem dishonest, because I don't like to show my cards).
I guess sometimes I think I must be a sensor because I am not nearly as creative as the people around me. My husband, my siblings are all teeming with amazing new ideas, and I am over here like, daydreaming about a crush or something. I love clothes and decorating too. And nice things. I love nice things. I am a teacher, and while I love lesson planning and I care deeply about the kids, I am actually sort of a crappy teacher, I think. I hate repeating things and slowing down. I always want to jump on to the next thing.
Can anyone give me any insight into my weirdness?
