Hello All,

New member here. To be straight with you, I'm not 100% sure I am INTJ. I tend to score that type more often that not, and had a number of people with psychology backgrounds peg me as INTJ, to my surprise at the time. Not that such anecdotes are necessarily definitive. I also can very much relate to many of the INTJ descriptions out there, but I am *very* close to the borderline for T/F and J/P, and indeed use a lot of projected F to navigate my way through social situations. Add to this mix the fact that, while I deeply respect Jung, I am not 100% convinced that the Meyers-Briggs test is particularly scientific (or quite true to Jung's theories, for that matter). Though, granted, most of the tests seem to have some sort of flaw or another.

Ah well. There you have it. The Personal Introduction of Mild Confusion and Occasional Skepticism (tm). ;)

welcome to the club of 'half-casts' :). It seems to be that jung types do reflect the broad range of everybody however there are people that exhibit multi-types (my opinion - as I see the world) the only explanation for this I can come up with is that whereas you may not have complete personality matches with one specific type your brain will generally use qualities of each type sequentially.

E.g. I say this time and again but I have a hunch that I'm mixed strongly with infj rather than the majority here that are mixed with intp. I'll use the feeling side at some stages and then the thinking side at others. I just have a tendency to use the thinking side more. This allows me to be aware of the people around me and also treat their problems logically rather than just being touchy feely.
