A question for the typologists...
I've been questioning the nature of a predisposition of mine. I tend to be obsessed with putting everything in logical order, systemizing, approaching every activity as if it were a game-of-sorting-out-the-chaos. A few examples:
For example...
Presented with a choice of pieces of art, let's say films or books, I will always favour dividing them equally over the free time I have, deciding to go for them in chronological order or in very defined categories. The thing is that this planning and structuring is always done internally and I always strive to go along those lines, until I happen to find other interesting pieces, only to rearrange the original plan, ad nauseam. This intense categorizing and defining within an endeavour of my interest does not seem to have much practical purpose nor anything going for it in the name of efficiency, even if I do see them as my own plans. It's just a very strong tendency to arrange them according to some very subjective logical criteria, so much so that my stubborness in not crossing them may be the cause of much un-pragmatism.
I am surely an Introverted Intuitive Thinker. Now, at first glance, the aforementioned tendencies appear to be proper of a Judging type beset by obsessive compulsive behaviour. Or it could be the influence of the strong Judging types during my lifetime...that I can entertain, but it does not seem very likely, because this is a very deep-set tendency...It could be fitting of a Dominant Thinker...Te cannot be, as I am not extraverted enough...so it could be introverted Thinking, which is content with analysing systematically and solving problems internally, or so it is said.
Thus, I've set the table. What do you make of it? I'd like to read your logical explanations.
