In no particular order, and off the top of my head.
Ways I fit the stereotypes:
Ways I break the stereotypes:
Ways I fit the stereotypes:
- I'm organized, structured, consistent, and predictable. See this list? I'm obsessed with lists.
- I get angry when things don't go my way, and I'm easily flustered.
- I'm incredibly Lawful Good, and have always been, sometimes obnoxiously (moralizing, lecturing, etc). I'm basically Hermione Granger.
- I'm uncomfortable expressing my emotions to others, unless I'm doing so in the context of getting something done, or making someone laugh. To this day, it's very difficult for me to open up in any way except the written word.
- I act much older than I am. ( [MENTION=360]prplchknz[/MENTION], who thinks I'm a grandma, and [MENTION=1180]whatever[/MENTION], who is 10 years older than me and thinks I act older than her, can back me up.)
- Recently I've become passionate about exercise and healthy eating (though I have been a late bloomer in this regard).
- I tend to evangelize the things that I care about.
- I'm very judgmental.
- I think I would have done well in the military, if it lined up with my moral code, which it doesn't.
- I am literally a middle manager.
Ways I break the stereotypes:
- I'm capable of critical thinking.
- I enjoy thought experiments (e.g. alternate history narratives) and sci-fi/fantasy books.
- I was the artistic one, growing up (even with the moody artistic temperament). Most of my hobbies relate to the arts. My general well-being suffers when I don't have an artistic outlet.
- I'm actually intelligent(!), went to an elite college, and did well at said college.
- I understand, and appreciate, the value of diplomacy, and I try to be diplomatic in my interactions with people -- because being a bull in a china shop isn't always the best way to get what you want out of a situation. In order to get what you want, you need to be able to adapt. The strongest structures are also the most flexible.
- I'm socially and fiscally liberal, very socially progressive, and hipster af. Someday I hope to have a lot of tattoos, but I don't know what they'll be yet.
- Not only am I thoughtful and introspective, but I actually enjoy being thoughtful and introspective -- creating order in my internal environment is relaxing for my Te in the same way as creating order in my external environment.
