Hmm... I've been trying to type my husband. He humored me years ago and took the 16personalities test but I know it wasn't accurate because he came out as extraverted. He's more socially inept and inhibited than I am. In a professional setting, he can project his voice well and lectures exceptionally. In social settings, his body language becomes guarded, he speaks softly or mumbles, he looks down a lot (self-conscious). If he's very familiar with the person, he relaxes and can speak a great deal about shared interests, but he still tends to be very soft spoken.
The flip side is that he's very critical and judgmental. If you wrong him, he wants to burn all bridges and never look back. He has a VERY hard time placing himself in the shoes of others. He doesn't really seem to care about "excuses", only how he can help (if possible) and what it will cost him to do so (even as a cost in time). He expects perfection from himself, and to some degree, of others as well.
He was a nuclear physicist until his mid-20's (?) at which time he went into an accelerated medical program to become a doctor. He chose ophthalmology because it was the most rewarding as well as being financially wise. He's 74 years old and still practices (though surgery day about kills him nowadays).
He loves learning. He's always listening to podcasts or watching the History or Discovery channels. He likes watching sports (all of them, lol, though he denies he actually likes it most of the time). He's very inactive but great with his hands. He's a hoarder and a conspiracist (chemtrails, HARP, alien tech etc).
He used to be religious but had his heart broken there.
He tends to delegate responsibilities and expects others to perform the tasks with no oversight (I call him an "absentee landlord"). He hasn't balanced his finances, as far as I know, for as long as I've known him. He has an Office Manager (who pays all the bills at the office as well as all of our personal bills) and an accountant. He was robbed (embezzled from), for years, by a previous manager. He was robbed, by others, who wanted him to invest in this or that.
I wouldn't call him trusting or naive though. I think, he just has his standards and beliefs and expects others to share them.
He has no love for music or fiction or gaming or pets. He's my exact opposite in MANY ways rofl.
He is VERY introverted. He can't even speak with me, for more than 30 minutes at a stretch. He looks physically exhausted, at that point, and has to retreat to his darkened bedroom. I can, literally, feel his energy sap out of him as he socializes with anyone. He doesn't tolerate nonsense and barely tolerates small talk. He's VERY protective of his property and privacy (I don't even have a key to his house). Some of his paranoia is warranted though, because of several bad experiences.
I know he's an IT but what of the rest? I guess I could safely rule out F, lol, which just leaves P or J?
Any guesses at the other systems (Enneagram/Socionics)?
