Quite so. Thanks.I think xNTP fits. *mails invoice* As a psych major, I took the official MBTI so many times that I was almost ready to pay people to stop typing me!
Seriously, I really do think xNTP fits though.
The insights you gain on your own are worth much more than money. Remember that MBTI is about preferences, not traits. You know your preferences better than anyone else could.
I went on a kind of date with an ENTP guy who lives in South Carolina last night, and he typed me as INTX, so it's probably what I am. I agreed with his reasoning.
Well when I first came on the site, I had decided I was an atypical INTP, in that I am into mysticism and have made a big effort to develop my functions more than most. I set about explaining it, and my theories as to why. The response I got: "OMG you are not INTP, you are obviously INFP or possibly INFJ." People argued with me relentlessly that I was not what I thought I was, so because I am concerned with the truth and objectivity, I decided to investigate the possibility that I was just looking at things from a biased perspective and they might be right. So I researched types obsessively and found myself in several, and kept finding things which contradicted each other. Finally, I kept getting consistent test results and things kept pointing me in this direction, so I just decided it was probably right.Yeah, now that I've observed you a little more closely, I think you are an xNTP for sure, greenfairy. How did you come to doubt that?
Lesson learned: don't try to convince INTP's something which is outside of their Ti framework.
On the bright side, I learned a lot about typology, and I understand Fi better now.
