Why am I here?

**duma** · 01-08-2010, 07:53 AM

I've known that I am an INTJ for about 7 years now. I was working in a lab - realizing that I had grown tired of the place - I needed a new direction. I started to do some research (imagine that) on where I would fit in. So, I ended up taking the test. I then decided law was a good idea. Long story short... I am now a lawyer... still looking for where I fit in.

I found this place, and got curious about other INTJ's and where they work. I am also interested in some other test I found here. Registering a posting twice is the requirement to see the link... and that is why I am here. So, ignore the next post as it is just to get me to the post count.

Stop looking.
You don't.
There is no need to.
How do you do?

The test is not necessarily right. I used to test as all sorts of things; my only reliable variables were I and N. Much doubt ensued. But I found out what I was through reading about the personality types, and finding the essence of each side of each dichotomy as well as the cognitive functions--at least, to the best of my ability to do so.

Now, I don't take the tests any more because to all the questions that I would answer: "It depends...", I know which way to answer to get a certain result, and which way to answer to get a certain other result. It won't show me who I am; it will only show the incompleteness of the test to tell me who I am.

It sounds like you know who you are without a test.

I just retook the silly test, after a year, or so.
I am back to being INFJ.
Some of those questions I could answer either way, quite honestly.
There seems to be a flaw in the use of language, as in ambiguity.
Then again: most of life is ambiguous, to one degree or other.
