I'm new to the forum but oh-so-happy to be here. Long story short, I took the MBTI test for a class of mine and found out I was INTJ. [Insert tidal wave of relief here.] I've always thought I was different from virtually everyone else, but I couldn't understand why. Basically ended up forcing myself to pretend to be an extrovert (not fun, and VERY tiring). Anyway, reading my description gave me such validation: I can honestly say I've probably never been so relieved as I was while reading what seemed to be my biography. Which prompted me to find this forum, so yay! A few trivial details about myself: I'm female, I'm a student, I'm studying Molecular Biology and Microbiology (go figure), aaaand I think I qualify as an extroverted introvert. Guess that covers the basics!

Welcome! As another newbie, I can definitely say this forum is very friendly so far. Unless, perhaps, you're an idiot, but you don't seem to be. =D

Yes, if you are an idiot, they make you sit in the corner with me and the other idiots... and I'm not completely house-broken yet.

What are the qualifications of being an idiot INTJ though?

Anyways, welcome!

Yep, welcome. Your story is my story, too. Reading the INTJ description was an incredible relief for me. I realised that I wasn't a freak after all.

I felt a similar relief in finding out I was an INTJ.

Although I still think I'm weird, but at least not bad-weird XD

Welcome!

Welcome! I had the same entry into INTJdom; I think you'll find MUCH similarity with the people of INTJf.

I'll have a double, double, (Epsilon Lyrae) you sound more INTJ than the typical INTJ. Good luck with your school work!
