All things personality

i dont hink highly of myself @CheerBear@Spookytookims

but the rest of it does sound like me and would explain alot of things.

why i love arts and writing and passionate about helping people even when im struggling so much myself.

it almost comes under being 'wise' which ive been told be a few people that what i am whether others on here think i am i dont know.

Yes you are a rare type @Former-Member. It can feel a little uncomfortable reading things like that about ourselves, especially when we aren't feeling so good. There are so many pictures, quotes, articles etc on MB types and I found it helped to sort through what I agreed with and what I didn't in each of the types, as another way to kind of understand myself better. I have asked a few people that are/were close to me to do it too and found it prompted me to think a little more about what may be happening for them too, which was helpful as well.

Oten our types are mistaken for each other and people assume they're similar when they're not. I don't like being 'boxed' in to anything (such an INFP thing to say) but if I was going to fit in a box it would be this one.

Good @CheerBear  cos my partner isn't due back until tomorrow night so will give me something to fill in my time  and hey... I'm an information absorber and processor remember.. lol  INTP?  😛

Not sure on the "meat snacks"   maybe "savoury snacks" yes ...  love samosas 😛

Haha @Spookytookims! I appreciate knowing this about you - things feel better for me when I understand people (lol). 

Re the meat snacks - i was reading via email and scratched my head thinking 'when did I say meat? Why are we talking about samosas?' Lol. 

This is my head

@CheerBear @Spookytookims @Former-Member I'm an ISTJ. It's interesting that we all have the "I". When I was at my neurofeedback session last week, the psychologist was chatting about how these days extroversion is super valued over introversion in society, but a hundred years ago it was the opposite. Clearly we were all born a hundred years too late!

Haha i dont mind being rare lol the only good thing about me lol @Spookytookims @CheerBear @Phoenix_Rising

[CheerBear]

My money would be on a clear majority of forumites here being I's i think? An "inspector" or "logistician" @Phoenix_Rising (am reading up on ISTJs now). Do you feel it fits you well? Interesting about the comment from the psychologist too. Going to have to think on that for a while.

@CheerBear  I'm listening to yours now...   there are some bits in it that relate to me..  which surprises me, but then there are stark differences too.  Probably to be expected considering INTP  INFP so the intuitive side is going to be similar in the way we perceive but the Feel vs Think will be different in the internal processing of what we perceive.

I'm finding yours very interesting. After I'm done you know I will analyse the differences in the podcasts right?  INTP ya know!  

Memes  lol  See...    INTP  😛

@CheerBear Yep, it fits well in terms of being highly analytical, task orientated etc. I think I've mentioned on another post that I seem to have a natural flare for being able to do inferential statistics - you don't get much more analytical and, well, geeky than that!

Of course the "complicating factor" in seeing how well it "fits" is that I'm an ISTJ with a big muddle. One of the things I super struggle with is how much my muddle negatively impacts on my concentration. I was talking to my psychologist about this just today. I feel so frustrated because I know that when I can focus, I can actually achieve stuff (you know, like two uni degrees!!!!). However, the events of the past 18 months have totally smashed my ability to concentrate which in turn makes it super hard to move forward.

I totally agree that most forumites would be I's.
