PP here, very close N/S split, off the charts "I" and relatively heavy "J".

ISTJ (though it has varied over 20+ years).

The first ENTJ PP here - should have said my wife, also a lawyer, is also ENTJ, although we have completely different practices. I'm a litigator and she's a regulatory/legislative person.

DH is an INFP. He left law years ago and was unhappy practicing. He couldn''t stand the adversarial nature of law.

right on the line of E/I
very much N
right on the line of T/F
very much P

Left law to be a writer. I liked the analytical/logical side of law a lot when I practiced.

ISTJ, but borderline (meaning I'm not on the extreme on any of the 4 measures). I'm strongest on the T, but still within the "slight" range. I'm lowest on I.

I think you might be the first "S" in this thread (although I see you have a lot of "N" too). J off the charts? Wow, my P self would have problems living with you!

So far most lawyers posting have indicated they are NT types. Are the NFs (the minority) in traditional law jobs? Are most of you NFs happy in your work?
