Wow, I am kind of surprised at how incredibly close what I wrote today was as compared to three years ago.
I love to theorize, just not about anything that is super important. Taking long hours theorizing how to act before doing it drives me crazy. By the time you act, what ever conclusion you came up with for three days ago is going to be less efficient, since by now the situation has likely changed somewhat. You go back to theorize that? Now you are stuck analyzing and never doing. Analyzing things like, black holes, and other things that have no real world application are fine, as long as it is for fun.
I am stubborn as fuck, and will only incorporate other peoples ideas if they make perfect sense to me, and are better than the idea I already held.
I have been known to focus on the negative, that is because to me, the positive doesn't need attention. Its all good. I know it is there, recognize it and appreciate it, but try not to mess with a good thing.
As a result most of the perfect things, moments, I encounter, are things I have done behind the scenes without anyone else's awareness and been able to view the finished result.
No they're not.I say TG is an ENTJ...
YWIR.. You guys are very much alike from where I am standing.
No they're not.
I just find that unacceptable. Personality theories are supposed to bridge the gaps between perspectives.
Type has nothing to do with it. It helps very very little on this forum. If you want people to understand you, you need to express yourself clearly and thinking accurately. Type is irrelevant.While I believe it has helped me to see who others are, I still find that most people cannot understand where I am coming from. Not so much just on this forum, but irl too.
It is like how people say I suck at language and am therefore hard to understand. In this circumstance I suck at self representation. So that too, causes a communication barrier, that ultimately I am responsible for. I will consider it a success when I am disciplined enough to accurately represent myself in a way that is universally understandable to others.
Given the general direction of this thread, I would say the improvements I made to become more understandable have led people to believe I am more of an S type. Which sort of makes sense, since I have tried to combat the 'open for interpretation' parts of my personality.
It also indicates I have gone from one extreme to another, and therefore am still getting it wrong.
It is not that I need to know myself, I know that. It is that I need others to be more aware of myself, if I am to walk the same paths as them without unnecessary conflict or jeopardizing my own integrity.
I have had a life time to test my own theories regarding myself for accuracy. When other people present theory they are automatically at a disadvantage. Jumping in somewhere in the middle of what I have already thought about or figured out. Then I need to go back and explain how, yes, I could see where you are saying that but..... Then it comes off to the other as arguing to make my point.
I try to shy away from theory regarding my type for this reason alone. If I were to go through the chronological understanding I have come to at this point, you would surely agree that I am in fact an INTJ.
Though because you did not believe that to begin with, the fault would be put on me for changing your perspective to fit my "ideal". Which is counter productive to simply representing myself accurately.
There are a great number of reasons for my idiosyncrasy. Which as ThatsWhatHeSaid, are not type related. Or maybe they are, only if you can dissect type down to its most basic probabilities. How would someone of this type have dealt in these situations. Which I have first hand knowledge of more so than others.
I suppose in a way, bringing myself back to my base state, clear enough to be understood off hand, is the ultimate goal.
