[quote=Anonymous]I'm an INXP--I test right in the middle of T and F.

I'm very introverted.  I love to read and learn new things.  My brain basically never stops working, and if it's not engaged in my work or other task, I'm daydreaming, imagining, planning.  I don't have much in the way of artistic skills, but I try to find outlets for creativity--I love music, poetry, etc.  I'm doodling all the time.  I'm very good at synthesizing lots of disparate information, find patterns, make non-obvious connections.  I have a high facility with language and love more than anything else to read and talk about literature.  I enjoy beautiful language for its own sake.  I can get completely and utterly lost in a book.

I can get impatient when other people aren't keeping up.  On the other hand, I hate when I don't understand something and my greatest fear is looking stupid.  I know that my fear of failing has held me back from things I might have enjoyed.

I love to read about new things and new ideas.  I hate small talk.  I don't really like talking about feelings--I want to lay the problem out and then fix it.  I'm a very private person, and my husband sometimes complains that I don't share my feelings, even though I feel things really intensely and can be very sensitive.  I don't want to talk about a problem until I've mulled it over for a long time to myself and gotten really clear about it.  I'd rather express my feelings through art, music, poetry, etc.  I'm very hard to get to know.

I am very sensitive to other people's moods and feelings.  I make friends slowly, and prefer people with whom I can discuss a wide variety of substantive topics, rather than lots of acquaintances that only engage in shallow conversations.  I'm terrible at networking, but I am a very loyal and long-lasting friend.  I don't expect my friends to tend to my emotional needs or otherwise emotionally manipulate people.  I truly don't care about their possessions, just about our connection.

I encourage my children to be curious about the world, independent, and tolerant and kind.  I have a lot of empathy.  But I also have a strong sense of justice and right and wrong, and my principles and my emotions are strongly connected.  I don't shy from a conflict when right and wrong are at issue, but I much prefer quiet harmony.  I'm flexible about most things and can usually roll with the punches.  I have strong enthusiasms.

Perhaps not surprisingly, I am a lawyer.  [/quote]
