I Am An Intj

I'm Not So Sure Anymore

Written on June 24th, 2008

Whether I'm a thinker, or a feeler. The test clearly says I'm a thinker, at a rate of about 70%. I have a lot of the INTJ, and especially the loner side, I don't especially like people. But I read about the INFJ, and sometimes I feel like that, wanting to improve things, for people.

 

Am I an INFJ in denial since I was little? Is something like that possible? I know the strenght of the mind is big. I hesitate because I feel things very intensely, and I'm very emotional, on the moment, only it never goes out, and I need time to think first. Also, I feel compassion for people with pain and sorrow, only I'm not able to reach out for them, I can't touch people, I mostly hate the contact, and I'm very clumsy anyway. 

 

It's ambiguous, and I need to know precisely.

    An interesting aside to this whole Myers-Briggs thing is that everyone is everything. You might be an I, but part of you is also E. It's just a matter of how you relate to the world. Or not. Also, you could be in the middle for one of the categories - you might not be a T or an F but an X for that category, an INXJ. I myself am close to an INTX so I know what it's like to be in the middle on one of them. Another interesting thing is that whatever your type, the opposite of that type tends to describe your hobbies. The opposite of INTJ is ESFP, which is "performer" which describes my hobbies perfectly. Don't be concerned or confused about not being totally INTJ in all its aspects - it would be a pretty dull place if everyone was completely polarised - there would only be 16 different types of people rather than a smooth gradation in every way!

    Hi Scully, it is possible for INTJ to be caring...do you know the other three numerical values of you profile? If you N is weak you could be border line ISTJ which would perhaps account for your compassion while your TJ requires you 'think it out' first. Just a thought.
