Hi! Thank you for visiting this thread Just a few pointers before you read the rest of this!
> I'm almost positive that I use Si. I'm very attached and sentimental to little things, and my entire room is stacked with childhood mementos. I never throw out anything during spring cleaning, because I assign the object some sort of sentimental value -- I basically have a mental breakdown when I lose a friend, or even lose something practical by accident. I can relive memories in clear, visual detail and I usually over-think things that will happen in the future. I know when things are "different" or "out-of-place" somehow, but I can never place what exactly is different immediately; it usually takes a few moments for me to figure it out.
> I'm also almost positive that I'm introverted, because I'm very quiet and have a hard time speaking up. I'm very drained when I'm around people or crowds; I'm strangely motivated to attend social gatherings, but usually chicken out on the day of the event.
Moving on to actual things I'm not 100% sure of:
> I'm not sure if I use Fi or Fe. I feel like I could be an INFP, because the Fi/Te does make sense. I always thought that I could be a strong Te user, but I think that side of me only comes out when I'm extremely provoked. I've never gotten along well with my dad, so I become very cold and pseudo-rational when I'm arguing with him. Still, I'm very aloof and serious unless I'm with people I'm comfortable talking to –– I have this weird thing about being polite and being on time / keeping promises / appearing polished and "fitting-in" with the rest of the group, so that might tie into Fe. I'm not a natural leader, but I can assume leadership roles very easily when I think it's necessary.
> Ti and Te is difficult for me. I feel like I'm very analytical and quietly detached and make decisions in my own head (Ti) but when I'm very stressed, I usually resort to barking out orders and being a little cruel (Te.) I'm not very witty, and I'm definitely not quick on my feet –– but I'm kind of a natural liar and I can make up semi-believable stories when I'm lying, which is concerning. Te really only comes out when I'm provoked and stressed and angry enough that I feel the need to bring up cold facts and data; Ti is usually what is simmering below the surface when I'm people-watching or trying to come to a conclusion or something.
> I would honestly like to believe that I'm very organized and neat and polished, but maybe not. I feel unprepared and unbelievably nervous without a fixed, structured plan though. I'm not sure that I plan out every single detail, but I always have some sort of game plan; I never dive headfirst into the situation. Again, I'm not very quick on my feet or resourceful, so I wouldn't be able to see opportunities in my environment or use them. I procrastinate and work closer to the due date, but it really depends –– sometimes I work in quick bursts of inspiration, sometimes I chip away at the project a little at a time. I write a lot though, and my poetry usually flows very well –– I've never planned enough to write a full-length novel. I often have too many ideas that are based on things I've read or watched, but I never really end up finishing most of them.
> I like reading and writing, but I'm sure that can be true of every personality type. Sometimes I self-insert myself into a fictional universe (not one that I've invented, one that already exists in films and books) and mostly interact with one character that I'm especially fond of –– to accomplish this, I usually have to take out another character that's in the way or invent some sort of plan to easily insert myself into the story. I'm not sure how to describe this, but it really plays out like a movie or a storyboard that I daydream about when I'm walking around or pacing in front of the bathroom mirror. This comes to me very easily.
> When I'm angry, I'm transparent about it. There's this one moment before the action / my words that I wonder if what I'm doing will help in the long-term, but I usually go through with it anyway –– my words are so overt that my "victim" doesn't seem affected by it, anyway, but I feel brief satisfaction before the obvious avalanche of guilt.
> I'm honestly not sure about Ni or Ne. When I'm talking, I use one point and stick to it and develop it –– I don't ramble off or talk in tangents like Ne users I know. I find things that I think are interesting, and I develop those points. I don't have those "a-ha!" moments that Ni users have; sometimes, I can tell that something is going wrong or right, but I'm sure that's pretty common for all personality types. We all have "gut feelings," but I don't follow my intuition most of the time. Still, I'm very fascinated by psychology and writing, but I've never actually taken concrete steps to study anything in those fields –– I'm just fascinated by them. I think that's why I think that I also might be an ISFJ.
> My brother is a self-proclaimed ISTJ, and he gets me and makes me laugh. We have the same sense of humor. I'm usually called very "boring" or "calm" and I don't really know what to say most of the time; I do have these moments where I really connect with someone over a conversation about –– interestingly enough –– the future. When we have a deeper conversation, I'm really excited to continue the conversation on another day –– I actively force myself to talk to that person because I really like those connections. That being said, my goals for the future are pretty practical and grounded in reality; I want to be a journalist or maybe a psychologist, and I'm materialistic.
I am seriously considering ISFJ or INFP, but if you think if it's something else, please tell me! I would love to hear your opinions!
