writtenWordy is writing or as in the way they speak? I think you could say I am wordy. I waffle too much because I want to state my point absolutely perfectly. I also have a load of sub thoughts. And I don't know how to be concise. Limiting this post to just a few sentences is causing me pain.
do you mean Ti causes wordiness?
I'm wordy. With nearly everything. I'm working on it actively--trying to be more precise with what I say by using fewer, more accurate words.. but I really suck at it.

I try always to use all the words necessary to convey my idea, and no more. (I won't claim always to succeed at this.)Who has time nor want to read a 3 page dissertation on why clowns are scary than demons? Just watch the movie It that is the answer, no need to write 3 pages on it

At work, I just finished compiling a 129-page report.
I then had to summarize it in a 4-5 page conclusion.
Next I had to write a 1-page executive summary.
Finally, I wrote a 200-word abstract.
I can do it, but this makes quite plain what is lost at each reduction.
I saw your posts in the Forum glitches thread, with Werebudgie. Not sure what is going on there. With luck, Highlander, etc. can figure it out.you do know when I went to quote you more words appeared? the forum has been acting strange lately. I have the opposite problem, I get accused of not saying enough even though I'm like it's right there. And it is, but still the other person doesn't believe me. So I just give up and go o ok.
yeah perhaps. I'm just thinking and could be totally wrong but maybe because i'm easily distractble i lose thoughts in the middle of things and forget to finish them, but then once it's done and sent i think i've said everything i;ve wanted to say but haven't? I dunno not important.I saw your posts in the Forum glitches thread, with Werebudgie. Not sure what is going on there. With luck, Highlander, etc. can figure it out.
As for wordiness, the key at work is to know our audience. The complete technical report wants one level of detail; the senior leaders want the whole story in 2-3 minutes. I've become rather good at condensing very complex stuff into essentially a sound bite, but I always cringe inside when I have to do it.
Really? I rather enjoy doing this.As for wordiness, the key at work is to know our audience.

I'm wordy by nature, but ever since one of my English instructors called me "prolific" I've been trying to work on it.
There's the bottom line, and then turning that line into a dot. I have no problem cutting to the chase, but resent oversimplification as it does a disservice both the topic, and to the people claiming to want the information. It feels almost like being forced to lie, or at least misrepresent the situation.Really? I rather enjoy doing this.
Something about getting to the bottom line, in least amount of words, is extremely appealing to me. I was never able to write very long essays in school. I found it to be a waste of time.
Do you cringe because you have to do it. As in, you have no choice?

I had a professor refer to me as "prolific," but she meant it as positive feedback, often sharing my writing in class. Did your instructor mean something negative?
I am wordy. Some people are just born loving words. I don't know that it has anything to do with type. There are authors of varying MBTI types.
Pretentiousness in wordiness I tend to attribute to Ti. Ti can make things dense (not as in stupid, but as in thick to wade through) over precise, and in the case of educated Ti users, full of specialized jargon.
I tend to be wordy more in the sense of yarn weaving story telling, or long babbling explanations.
I've noticed that pretentiousness in wordiness mostly in 5w4s in rl. Oddly enough the 5w4 intps here doesn't seem that way at all. However the intjs seem so.
Ti tends to over specify/explain too much whereas te tends to keep it precise and only tend to specify if someone inquires or if someone missed what they were trying to explain.
And omgosh you are back! Perfectly coincides with sim's unbanning.
