I think you are def. an INTj.
what do you think of Machiavelli?
If you see something wrong with the world, would you seek to impose your order upon it, because it is *better* for everyone if you assume control, or would you be more likely to let them find their own way? (like an anxious parent behind the toddling child)
How much thought do you give before you act?
You are a 15 year old highly gifted, exceptional female.Energetic?
Ma'am, there are several factors that can go into that. At the moment I'm under a lot of stress so maybe another side is showing up. I've got to admit, life is making me scared and feeling terrible and I've been trying to get my catharsis online rather than letting it spill out into any other source. I know that I have to maintain a perfect demeanor in real life or else I'll end up heavily medicated. It's really a tough job, staying calm and appearing normal when you're falling apart from the inside.
Or maybe... it's just late...
You are a 15 year old highly gifted, exceptional female.
It is a rough gig, and I've done quite a bit of research on this, and you are *not* alone in having to deal with the backlash of societal norms, misguided policies, and the ignorant, yet powerful masses, who in failing to understand you, will either maliciously or inadvertently work to both hurt you and hinder your capacities.
F them!!!
You are awesome and there is nothing wrong with being exceptional!!!
Stay true to yourself!!!
No, you've misread my post, there are *not* a billion out there like you, far from.Yes, I know I'm definitely, definitely not alone. There are a billion out there just like me. For some reason, this isn't comforting.
And also, that's a lot more exclamation points than are necessary...
I have a question, then, to those who insist INTP. Are P types normally bothered by deadlines? This is likely a stupid question, but it's one that I want the answer to.

Your comment on my excessive use of exclamation points acts as a case-in-point in "proving" your INTJness.
I am providing you with support and yet you find it necessary to comment and critique my use of exclamation points, excessive as they may be...cute!!!!!
Every time you use that many exclamation points, I hear ringing in my ears...
I read you right loud and clear. There are actually quite a few of us, or at least we're overrepresented in the media. Everyone would like to fancy themselves above average, but less than half of them can be above average. That's just mathematics. It's hard to tell what's above average and what's not when people are all claiming to be above average.
Oy vey, here's an article you might find interesting.

You did not read me loud and clear, perhaps you were too distracted by the ringing in your ears. Who knows, regardless, I'm sensing a bit of angst on your behalf, which is entirely understandable.
Before you jump to conclusions, read, assess and weigh all the facts.
My arguing style... if my argument is dismissed immediately, I get very upset. I try to use evidence but often I have trouble coming up with specific examples for things. If it's an intellectual debate, I hate when people bring up things like lack of experience on my part (again, a teenager) to invalidated my argument, accusing me of close-mindedness and therefore finding grounds to dismiss my argument without actually disproving me.

^ And now my brain is like
was i right tho, MetalWounds?
medic.......metal needs his wounds addressed......medic......
just see the last two lines for a summary. the emoticons say it all.
INTPs talk more than INTJs. INTJs in stressed mode get even more taciturn. That's partly why i thought you were an INTP, Hap. Too many words for an INTJ.
was i right tho, MetalWounds?
In looking over the entirety of your posts it is apparent that you are most likely an INTp. P types can very easily become upset with deadlines if the given subject holds a great deal of importance to them. Try not to get into the P/J "deadline" method of thinking, only a slight majority of the time does it hold true. In trying to determine P/J, analyze your daily life and determine if you find yourself compelled to follow things through, or if you start many things without finishing others. Also examine, in your daily life, weather you seek to control a situation, or understand it.
Doesn't understanding naturally beget control?
I am always looking towards the future. Sometimes I do stupid things that won't help me in the future, but most of the time that's the main drive.
lol. hang on a moment: i don't think any real INTP would wanna 'initiate' you into their ranks, really. i mean, you are who you are. it'd be an odd intp who'd want you to be 'one of us'. INTPs do not seek to control that way. I was describing the two types so you can have a better idea of what INTP is like, and then see, for yourself, if it sounds like you.
which was why i had said right at the start: take what resonates with you.
If you are, you are. If you're not, you're not. Ultimately, it's you yourself who'd know yourself best. No one else can tell you who you are, or who you *should* be.
Understanding doesn't necessarily beget control. You can understand, without changing it. That's why the forumers are asking if you seek to change/control things: that's one of the key motivations of an INTJ.
we need a female INTJ to weigh in here. I think gender differences may play a part as well. Usehername??
btw, my real advice would be this: do not get too hyped up about types, and pigeon hole yourself. or others. At the end of the day, what makes a person is their character. And in that sense, MBTI, or any other personality tool, can only define one aspect of the person. THe entirety of the person is something else altogether. THe degrees on the spectrum also matter a lot. The motivations, the things you grew up with; the influences of your friends and environments.
cheers!
