How would you describe your Dom function?

I don't see Ti dom from your posts. You have logical reasonings but I don't see process familiarity. I see a lot of Si. If I see Ne it is in an inferior position - one that you are getting in touch with. Rounding out edges of Si.

So ISFJ makes sense to me for you BUT I can also make a case for INFP. Fi/Te and you utilizing Te more fully causing Ti/Fe feeling.

I realize this doesn't help. Lol. But if feeling and sensation tends to be weak spots for you? I would say you are either an Si or Fi dom - simply because those functions are strongest in usage, they get overshadowed by teritary, aux a lot.

Just my 2 cents. I should get [MENTION=10082]Starry[/MENTION] the Jedi Master of typing in here.

People need The Force when typing [MENTION=19700]Anaximander[/MENTION] that's fo sho (there's just so much here imo that looks exactly like *this* when in reality it is probably *that* and vice versa.)

Interestingly enough...I do not see Ti either. Which always makes me feel weird about everything in the universe by the time I join one of Ana's threads and have read the first 50 posts consisting entirely of "INTP! No other type is even possible!!!!!"

9s are smart fu*kers. I mean, they have the rep of being wise...but many of them have extraordinary reasoning abilities whether they let this show outwardly or even know this about themselves. Why? Well, I am assuming it is because so many 9s are naturally in a state of mind that is most conducive to scientific thought. Universal thinking, possibly cut off from their instincts and individual feelings, able to reserve judgement/bias, able to remove themselves from the equation for the purpose of observation...etc. etc.

^This coupled with the fact 3, 6, 9 are known to play tricks on what we expect to see out of Fe & Fi (<-it's funny to me though how this phenomenon is only comment worthy when Fe looks like Fi. When Fi looks like Fe...I get the sense that is primarily considered a good thing haha)...

I think Anaximander is an Fi dom that looks like a Ti dom for a reason. I lean, ISFP because I believe you/Ana make high use of Ni...which may be why you tested as INTJ idk (and I believe you loop Fi>Ni)...but as a core 9 I'd sign off on INFP as well.

As a core 9...I think all core 9s will relate some to the description of inferior Fe...but whenever I hear you really *own* a certain characteristic and/or flaw...I hear the call of inferior Te. Being attached to things being right...wanting to demonstrate you are right... power, control, authority, freedom, competence, incompetence... You are also self-effacing and open about they ways you believe you fall short/are flawed which is often attributed to Tert and Inferior Te. Seriously, check out Tert or Interior Fe individuals...you will rarely if ever notice them doing the same.

Thank you. There's a lot here for me to respond to but it will have to wait until I have an uninterrupted chunk of time and access to a proper computer.

I took the human metrics test for the zillionth time and got INTP with strong I and P preferences and very slight N and T preferences. I had some malt liquor so it's possible I was less objective but I think people tend to be more real under the influence. Feed someone Steel Reserve and they may bare their soul.

I don't trust personality tests

I saw a dead cardinal and it made me sad because unlike humans cardinals are a monogamous species and somewhere a bird was alone.

This is probably my sixth or seventh type me thread. Sorry, I'm not attention whoring but this does happen to be a typology forum so fuck it.

Honorable mentions to [MENTION=25763]Enthusiastic_Dreamer[/MENTION] and [MENTION=23583]Yamato Nadeshiko[/MENTION]. If I left anyone else out, then sorry, but no dice.

I have threatened a type me video in the past but I was too camera shy to follow through. Odd considering I used to act in high school and college, but it's much easier for me to play a different role in front of a crowd than to be myself and open up. Maybe that says something about me as well. I am giving thought to another try at one, maybe a walking video the next time I go the park, or something similar. Perhaps some outer stimuli and how I react to it might offer more glimpses or insight into my type. I feel somewhat confident I am using extraverted perception in an auxiliary (possibly dominant) role.

I want to answer Starry's post but I'll wait until I have an undisturbed block of time on my lunch hour.

Why I might use Si...

-nostalgic personality. more nostalgic than sentimental.

-enjoy relaxing, although it's usually an uneasy relaxation and I need to busy my hands or mind with something, whether a book, musical instrument, video game, or other project--otherwise I get very bored and restless--even if I'm dead tired. Perhaps that actually indicates a preference for Se over Si?

-rely on past experiential knowledge somewhat, particularly when considering more abstract subjects such as philosophy, study of history, psychology, et al. Although I can also be impulsive (particularly with "concrete" activities) to try new approaches just to "see what happens" and very rejecting of that sort of "tried and true" experience--it was a constant source of conflict with my dad growing up and still is on occasion....
Dad: "why don't ya do it the way I showed ya? Whattarya doing it like that for?"
Me: "Just let me figure it out myself/do it my own way!"


Perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding Si. Si users can also be quite curious and open to new approaches and methods, right? [MENTION=23583]Yamato Nadeshiko[/MENTION], you want to chime in as a Si dominant?

You're a bit showy. You try to stand out and crave to be noticed. Constantly switching your avatar and profile comments is meant to get people to give you more consideration than the next guy. I don't mean any of this as criticism but rather just an observation (which might be completely wrong, btw). INTPs I know typically wouldn't give a shit about the attention except when attempting to demonstrate their waterproof reasoning in some kind of argument. I think the F aspect of you shows more. I still don't have enough to slap a particular type on you though.

I too have thought about doing an outside video, just to capture myself in a different element than just sitting at home. I would love to do a video with another member too just to show what I'm like around people. I find it hard to portray all aspects of myself in one setting alone. I've never acted though, thought I would be pretty good at it, but life does seem like a stage at times. Not that I see myself "performing", but how I interact with varied environments. I am just one personality yes, but I can't help but think that even the most stubborn personalities will at least reflect their environment a little, or alter their reactions somewhat, and that is what I hope to capture in future videos, these "other" sides of me.

Thanks for the mention. I wish you luck in figuring your type out. If we spoke more one on one I would no doubt have more to contribute.

Strong appreciation for aesthetics, but also great appreciation for functionality, particularly where functionality and aesthetics merge. I don't tend to appreciate "pretty" things as much when they don't have some cool use or practicality. Although I make exceptions if it's particularly unique or simply catches my eye--like a lamp with a machine gun base. I was the sort of kid who nitpicked the fuck out of toys when they didn't function better and thought I could design better toys than half the adults in the toy industry.

Appreciation for balance, harmony, melody in art and music, yet I like it when dissonant and/or dischordant music blends with more conventional, "lovely" harmonics and melodics--think bands like Radiohead, Warpaint, Can, Velvet Underground, or when a composer like Goldsmith or John Barry incorporates some blaring, harsh elements into a lush piece of orchestration. This might just be a matter of preference and not type related.

The wife and kid tease me for my playlists because it will go from some nice, folky ballad like Neil Young's "Ambulance Blues" to some dark synthwave to some John Cage or Phillip Glass type of experimental music.

You're a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, folded into a croissant. I think that's how the saying goes.

You're right. It's a bag of contrasts. I want to be noticed and show off my feathers but at the same time I don't want to be the center of attention (think Timothy Dalton or Sean Connery era Bond strutting into a casino...he doesn't make a huge show of it yet it's obvious the dude puts some importance on looking good and being noticed. But he also lays low a bit) and will feel very silly and shitty about myself if I took the spotlight away from someone else--I'll humbly step aside and shut up if I realize I'm getting in the way of someone else wanting to be seen or heard.



But yes, I make no apologies or excuses for enjoying some attention from time to time. As long as it's on my terms. I need to feel in control of it on some level. Maybe that need for control is indicative of an 8 wing?

Ti Si
I'd say more but I'm going 2 school rn
But this sounds like tertiary Si

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Either way, I found this interesting description of ISFPs.

ISFP: Bullies or the Bullied or Both? | Stellar Maze

Although much of what is written can apply to other IxxP types; some of it's pretty close to suspected ISFP males I've known. Reads like an equally flattering and embarrassing portrayal of the type's contradictions.

You're an LII-Ne and a 5w6. Not an enigma, it seems obvious to me.

Re "hissy fits and tantrums" ...I'm painfully aware of that aspect of my behavior, which is one reason I told [MENTION=25763]Enthusiastic_Dreamer[/MENTION] I thought feeling was a blind spot.

It can be quite embarrassing.

I have this issue as well (temperamental outbursts)....and I often type as INTP. However, I identify with the Introverted Feeling type much better than the Introverted Thinking type. My understanding of Jung is that IxxPs basically have an issue with being temperamental which stems from having a chip on their shoulder. This often happens when they want to be taken seriously but feel they are not being taken seriously (their inferior Je is demeaning them). Whereas other types have their inferior manifest a bit differently (even if just as destructively).

Of the 8 basic Jungian types, which is most relatable to you?
It seems you have narrowed it down to an IxxP attitude (introverted rational), which is not unlikely for a 9, but also, 9s can seem like Ps when they are not. Of the introverted rationals, which is more relatable as a whole type, the Ti or Fi type? Put away the idea of functions being something you "use" and think of them is as something you identify with.

Dear Anaximander,

Falcarius knows nothing about you but he thinks you are a ISFP purely based on the amazing thread title.

Yours truly,

Falcarius Utahensis

 

[Pionart]

I think the most serious part of my post was typing you as "G.Z.A" haha

I think he's generally typed as INTP, possibly ISTP.

 

[Yama]

Ti Si
I'd say more but I'm going 2 school rn
But this sounds like tertiary Si

Anyway, to add a little expantion:

Your example with your dad strikes me as Ti. Break it down, go my own way, hands-on, rather than always going for the method that works. Also, I see dom/auxillary Si as more sentimental and see nostalgia as a trait of tertiary Si (sentimentality and nostalgia are very different I think, and it seems you've already made that distinction--good).

Everyone relies on past knowledge--otherwise we'd be constantly relearning things we've already learned. Like your job at work every day or how to get to the store. At this point, I am inclined to say IxTP for you over IxFP.
