In a recent review of the MBTI, commissioned by the Army Research Institute, it was concluded that the instrument should not be used for career planning counseling. The Institute's analysis of the available research showed no
evidence for the utility of the test. Indeed, with respect to career planning they note that "the types may simply be an example of stereotypes." I agree.
Of course you can question.
"I think I am a someone who likes to be spontaneous... I have embarked on too many spontaneous evenings that ended up with my friends and I standing on the sidewalk, looking at each other and wondering what to do next."
A hopscotch.
It is not the P who wonders what to do next.
Not me, Jennifer.Eeerp. Sorry. P's do this all the time, if the environment is not forthcoming with new ideas and opportunities to respond to. Your EPs tend to be more active in "triggering" environmental reactions to respond to themselves. IPs have more trouble.
Not me, Jennifer....
Well, I am never slouching on the sofa, if that is what you mean. But I am a sloucher in the sense of being gauche. And to be gauche is INTP behaviour exactly. The INTJs are gauche yes.. but the INTPs are more so. They are so bland they are almost transparent. What a shame.Didn't you mention that you had Asperger's or something similar, over on INTPc?
In my experience, Aspie-types have the mental broadness of INTP coupled with a compulsion for closure/concreteness that seems to be very Te / J.
So I can't use you as a poster child for IP behavior; I don't think you're typical for the IP type.
Of course you can question.
But do not come with the wrong answers like Malcolm.
The poor recruit did not have an inkling.
The few who have read The Seven Pillars of Wisdom and who have understood it have more than an inkling.
They know.
Sandy Nininger was not a long shoot off T.E.
A regular officer type?
Never.
Listen to the poor confused Malcolm:
"I think I am a someone who likes to be spontaneous... I have embarked on too many spontaneous evenings that ended up with my friends and I standing on the sidewalk, looking at each other and wondering what to do next."
A hopscotch.
It is not the P who wonders what to do next.
It is the J who wonders what to do next.
It is the J who has to be scheduled all the time.
It is the J who feels lost and fearsome and empty on the loose.
Spontaneous evenings, eh?
Nope.
Not me, Jennifer.
How many IPs enroll in the army? In case they exist at all I fear they have been dispatched to the barracks by their ESTJ fathers for reasons of discipline. An inane exercise.
And as you said, the EP boys know how to make the world revolve around them.
I would suspect that many ISTPs would enroll in the army...but become discharged for not following the rules...
My brother was an ISTP in the army. He did not follow any of the rules. He was a boatman and every day he used to sleep till noon.I would suspect that many ISTPs would enroll in the army...but become discharged for not following the rules...
A good way to learn a language is to read.How is this poetic bullshit relevant to the information I have shared? It screams of, "look at me, look at me, I am so desperately unique in my writing style." Excuse me while I go peel my nails across a chalkboard for a few moments wondering why I just read this garbage post.

If you say a cardinal sin do not add number one.Bullshit. Admit that you just wanted some attention for your retarded format. Don't act like your a good writer. You fail to understand your audience which is cardinal sin number one of a bad writer.

If you say a cardinal sin do not add number one.
A cardinal sin is already number one.
Repetition is boring.
You can say: a cardinal sin.
Or alternatively: a sin number one.
Do not use vulgar language. It is a sign of illiteracy.
