I have said several times before that I no longer care about my type, and then I have gone on to continue to obsessively analyze it. But what I really care about is searching for the truth. So I am always curious and entertaining ideas and their reasons because it feeds my mind, and coming to conclusions and generating justified beliefs energizes me. The distinction is that I am no longer emotionally attached to type, and thus the search for it. It is merely a mental curiosity and tempting tool for making sense of things. I accept that the ultimate truth of things does not lie in categorization and that some things may not be categorizable (ouch- ok I haven't truly accepted this yet as it hurts my mind). The important thing is to know myself and others, which I can do without mastering a system and attaching letters and preconceived notions to people.
