How would you describe yourself?

[JinormusJ]

Are you very extroverted? You have many many friendships, most would be described as acquantances or impersonals, and don't feel content unless you are around others and you constantly feel the need to be occupied/doing something and are discontent with having nothing to do?
Or are you every introverted? You dont have very many friends, but the ones you do have are closer than your family and you would rather everyone else disappeared so you can have time to yourself most of the time; your okay with waking up with having nothing to do and having no personal interaction with a Human that day

I like philosophy. Discuss away.

I'm nearly 100% INTJ. There's a forum for the rest of the world to understand how to deal with us.

Holy crap..
I have found another at long last

I'm the same way; I'm very systematic and philosophical in my thinking; ie, I judge people on what they do, not what they say, and any inconsistencies makes me instantly lose respect for them. Generally hardheaded because know/study/grow for personal pursuits, but can admit when I'm truly wrong. I'm very forgiving and very outgoing, but if you've lost my trust, you'll never gain it back. I don't have a problem with people; I'm generally self confident and self-reliant so I generally go out of my way to make sure other people are comfortable. Etc.

Just a few things :-P

I'm weird like this I guess. I have hundreds of friends (or acquaintances), know TONS of people, but I'm only extremely close to a couple. Like I have a couple of people that I just tell everything to and they're super special to me, and as much as I enjoy being with everyone else, there's no one that can replace my closest friends. I couldn't live without talking to people in some way on a daily basis.

I'm a big fan of MDMA so I got way to many friends but really have like 3. I just consider myself the baddest mother fucker to walk the face of the earth besides Jesus. I know this makes me sound like a complete duche bag, but the way I see it if I think I'm a bad ass then I am and who cares what everyone else thinks.

[RUFFLZ]

Did the MBTI and tested INTP.
Just because I tested as introverted, doesn't mean I'm not sociable tho.
I guess we learn to have a balance of both overtime, but innately, I am introverted.

Also, society as a whole hints at the pros of extroverted people far more often than the opposing, which is why we quickly learn to become extroverted.

Those are definitely not qualities of an INTJ.

Good mentality to have; I normally just say screw haters, learn who you can trust, and dump the people of lesser character/worth. I know that comes off as super conceited, but I don't make an attempt to live that way. I try to help as many people as I can, but I make sure my resources are well spent by finding people who are worth my effort/actually looking to better themselves.

I don't think it's douchey unless you come off as a douche. I myself am a huge douche, but only to the people who deserve it; I don't take other people's crap because my own mind already has so much crap going on.

You bring up a valid point; I am almost 100% Introverted, but because society is what it is, I had to quickly pick up the Extroversion traits or else I would have been left in the dust. I am very sociable and there is almost nothing more I enjoy than having a good time with some good friends, but sometimes, and most, I wish I was just by myself working on my own business/recreational pursuits

Joey, you are like a mirror reflection of me..LOL

Hmm.. Let me rephrase those statements

About being very outgoing/having a problem with people; I dont have a problem where I find myself in a social outting and I have to meet new people/hang out with friends/put up with aquantances; I generally take it as a challenge to learn other's personality types and start building my impressions/learn who I can or cannot trust from the second I meet them. Deep down however, I would rather be at home with one or two other people and work on my own things. That makes Jack a dull boy, so I generally push myself to enjoy "frivolous" pursuits as well.

As for the very forgiving bit; I'm only forgiving with people I myself deem "worthy" of my forgiveness; IE, my future wife, my (dare I say it) "best" friend (who is also INTJ), people I get along most with. Others outside of the circle: well.. I'll "forgive" them, but what they did will never be forgotten, and it will definitely affect the future of the relationship. INTJs are generally very loyal, but once you break that trust, its over. It stems from rationality: the whole "Fool me once" argument; INTJs are very perfectionist, so they wont allow themselves to make the same mistake twice.




I generally also rarely accept authority: Unless you have earned my respect, dont expect me to treat you like your badge says; just cause your nametag says "Manager". If you dont act like one, well.. Youre innept and I am more than capable of handling my own business.

Bill

You've really got me interested, and I've been studying a lot about all the personality types. It seems I am an INFJ, And not an INTJ as I had thought. Fairly confused by this since I am a dude and dudes are generally more close-hearted

Two of my most favorite quotes.

[Threehz]

When I was 15 I left school to do some exploring, ended up with around 150 very close friends and thousands of good acquaintances by the time I turned 18. The mixture of going back to school and cutting out the bad people has left me with quite a bit of acquaintances, but under twenty people who I could confide anything in, and I'd only take a bullet for about fifteen of them.

I feel that nothing in life can be defined in black and white, and this controversy is definitely one of those areas. I definitely fall in-between. I can be completely content being alone (and many times seek breaks of solitude), but I also love the company of others. It's hard for me to imagine anyone that sways completely in one direction.
