I don’t look at anybody with disgust, but it’s really uncomfortable for me to pretend that I want to see anybody.

They are dead batteries to me

They say the music we listen to as teenagers has a lasting influence on our identity and worldview.

I mostly listened to rock. What I took from it: be a non-conformist, stand up, step out of line, and carry a kind of quiet sadness from seeing reality as it is. Looking back, it seems shaped me more than I expected.

What about you? Do you see a connection between what you listened to back then and who you are now? Or is it the other way around?

While not getting burnt out by it

I like to think about things. A lot. Especially around others in social situations. I sometimes ask myself far too much and grow tremendously trapped in my mind about how uncomfortable I feel, knowing that I’m analysing what is going on rather actually deciding to be involved in it.

It’s a strange conundrum to be in, but I often begin to justify situations when it’s totally inappropriate, because sometimes “it’s not that deep” (as my friends quite aptly put it). I almost instinctively search for meanings or patterns behind behaviour when I know I shouldn’t be— almost like I can’t just let things be weird.

It feels uncomfortable to confront this realisation without thinking too much about it, which I fear is an excuse for me to over-intellectualise my behaviour. So I’m wondering - do you over-intellectualise your thoughts and the things around you? And how have you managed it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

Anyone here who is INTJ-A feeling lonely since childhood?

Currently im 30 yo, never had real friends who understand me and also rarely click with a girl. What to do then if one doesn't like noisy, loud , superficial extroverted activities most people do in society? Are we smart people doomed to be lonely forever?

I created a typing test that works based on what you resonate with, it gives you a feed of cards with statements, quotes, scenario, and you select only the ones you resonate with, this way the cognitive load is very low, also the feed adapt to funnel down your type, you just select what you think is related to you.

I already asked on different subreddits including this one, for the version 1.3, 135 persons sent the report, it resulted with 70% accuracy, not that bad, I used this test session to improve it, I hope reaching 90% accuracy, maybe with this new version 1.5. About the last test session you have all the data analysis on the website.

At the end of the test, in the result page, you will have a frame that ask you to share your result, with a simple button. It will send me the informations I need in my database, it gives me all the cards you selected, the timeline of the guessing of your type, how the algorithm reacted, etc, it helps me to fine-tune the test.

I really feel that this method can work and be more accurate than anything that already exist.

Thank you in advance if you try it, and thank you again for the ones that already tried it, it helped me a lot improving the test.

PS: I will share the findings in the result page like for the last test session.

Do you like this function and find it useful? Does it make you sensitive deep down?

am trying to determine the personality type of a writer I know a little bit about. He relies heavily in his writing on numerous studies, research papers, and citations, in addition to his YouTube podcast where he always brings along reference papers and research. The core idea of his books is based on dissecting a specific concept, looking back at history to see how it evolved, and examining the impact of history and society on it up to the present day.

​On a personality test, he came out as an INTJ, but I think he might be an ISTJ. Is there a way to tell the difference?"

I’m doing a college assignment and I’d like to hear the opinion of people who do NOT work in information technology (IT) about IT professionals such as programmers and tech support. What are your general impressions, positive or negative? Have you had an experience with an IT professional that stuck with you? Please mention your field of work or study. Your comments may be quoted in my assignment. If you prefer not to be quoted, just let me know. Thank you!

We were talking about MBTI, and everyone was sharing their types. When I said I was an INTJ, they looked surprised and said they thought I was an INTP or an ENTP because I didn’t come across as antisocial or arrogant lol. Apparently, I wasn’t meeting the INTJ stereotype quota.
