[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may be a personality thing as much as an IQ thing. A lot of people hate Myers-Briggs because they don’t want to be placed in a “box,” yada, yada. But, I think the typology points out important differences. OP seems like a “N” (someone who likes ideas) and her policeman husband is probably the opposite, a “S,” (someone who likes tangible things). While determined effort can help any set of people get along, this pairing is challenging. Ultimately, the “N” person wants to read, think, discuss, debate, and communicate. Meanwhile, the “S” person wants to do, act, feel, and experience. If OP wants to discuss ideas together, but hubby wants to workout together, there may not be a lot in common.[b] This may become more apparent once the common battles of careers, settling down, and young kids are behind them. Then, the emphasis is on them alone, staring at each other wishing the other was like them.[/b] [/quote]

OMG! This was amazing. I did a Myers-Briggs test like 10 years ago because a team that I was working on kept clashing, but this definitely gives me reason to revisit it. You just exactly described to me, which is scary. The bolded points scare me more which prompted my post. I am scared about these differences heightening with age. I hope that it's just a pandemic thing, but I worry that it could be more...[/quote]
