I don't believe in labels. They are made up ways to build mental barriers between people. Labels are all in your head. We are all people with different tastes and preferences. No labels. | ||

Given that I have an engineering degree I find it quite fitting. =] Could someone explain in laymans terms the difference between sensing and intuiting? Thanks! Sensing to Intuition is like Judging to Perceiving. Rather than making decisions on what you notice with your 5 senses, you make decisions on what you don't see. Intuition is like sensing someone is lying and not believing them even though your senses tell otherwise, or believing something is going to happen and going with it, rather than acting on your 5 senses. Sensing people tend to like physical stuff (like sports). Intuitive people tend to like non-physical stuff like chess/poker. | ||

It's been awhile since I took this test (INTP at the time), and it helped me. Not so much in accepting who I am, I knew I was introverted (or leaning towards it on the spectrum, since apparently using the short phrase is starting to upset technical people) before I had a word for it. But the accompanying literature (much of it FREE, I have never actually paid for any of it) helped me a great deal in socializing. And this doesn't mean that I am now less introvert, it simply means I am dealing with it better in those specific situations. This OP isn't glorifying being introvert. It's merely completely focused on it, which for the purpose of discussion I don't really agree with, since introversion is often measured by how extroverted you are rather than the opposite. But it's a good OP and a fun subject. | ||

I was actually really glad when I first started reading up on this stuff in college. Among my trait preferences, introversion over extroversion is by far my strongest delineation (test I just took had it as +100% but I don't know that it's quite THAT strong!). When I first saw that list of myths and trait descriptions long ago, I was pretty amazed at how accurate they were. To the person who was decrying the notion of 'labels', I feel I have to mention that labels are only really a negative influence when they are used that way. When people prejudge you as something and assume a lot about you for instance. Or if you do the same to yourself and limit your potential as a result. But the idea of classifying yourself, and identifying with a larger subset of society can be positive as well. Knowing you aren't alone in the way you think and that it's neither bad nor weird to be an introvert (or any other 'label' for that matter). There is definitely value in that. | ||

I also thought something was wrong with me that I'd be utterly exhausted after being around a lot of people for a while when most of the people I hang out with weren't. The more you know | ||

I often find myself having nothing worthwhile to say in social conversations involving many people and sit there idly. But when I find something I can talk about, I really talk a lot and are very passionate about the things that interest me. Large crowds and noiseful environments often exhaust me very quickly and I usually tend to shut down. I usually leave then, but if I have to stay I even fall into a state that most people would probably say is depressed. I get very hard to approach at that point and really just want to be alone and brush people off. I think I have a lot of friends, but only very few close ones that I value very much. And even though I live in another town miles away for years now, I still keep contact to those people that are dear to me. I haven't really made many acquaintances over the years in the new town, also because I don't want them to take up the time I reserve for my old friends. I like to be alone a lot though, but sometimes I really get lonely as well. I also have a lot of things I'm interested in and try my hand at, but I never really stick to anything long term. I get about average pretty easily at things I try, but never master anything, because a new interest is already up ahead. For example I play the guitar, play the drums, try to draw, video editing, different kinds of sports... same with video games, I never really stick for a long time to the same one. I played SC2 until I got to Diamond (there still wasn't a Masters league) and after that I lost interest and quit. Reading up on this makes me understand myself a little better, or maybe it's just an excuse, I don't know. Sometimes I feel I have to change, but I don't know if this is really possible without putting a substantial amount of work into it... and honestly I don't really know if I want to. In my job I worked in an open plan office for a long time, but due to the noise there was a point where I had to ask my superior to switch me to a smaller office. I didn't really want to come off as weak or sensitive, that's why I endured quite a long time in there, but at some point I was pretty close to depression and was aggravated very easily if someone would talk too loudly... Did the first two tests and the results are pretty close: ISTJ Introvert(78%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(12%) Judging(11%) ISTJ Introverted (I) 78.79% Extroverted (E) 21.21% Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50% Thinking (T) 60.98% Feeling (F) 39.02% Judging (J) 51.35% Perceiving (P) 48.65% | ||
