I am 100% an INT however I am somewhere between a J and a P. seems odd to say because of the way one is micro and the other a macro. but depending on the circumstances surrounding the time I took the test I may get different results because I had recognized my weaknessness along the way and do things to try to improve them.

For example: I failed HS Algebra, not becuase of wrong answers but because I couldn't show my work. This is a J function. I wasnt able do the typical example of A=B=C where B is show your work, I could only give C, it worked in my head and I lacked the skill to write B.

I went to College and developed the skill to show what B is and therefore developed those details of what makes a P, the looking at and analyzing the various parts of what makes up an item.

These identities should not be a driving force in your life, Oh Im an INTJ and therefore I will do only these functions. Its great to identify yourself as a type but its wrong for that type to define you. It should be used to identify your weaknesses and find areas to improve your life and not hold you back by stereotyping yourself of what makes someone like that.

Now I have a son and Im trying to help him navigate the pitfalls I faced because they dont teach this in school, so coming back to this has been a good way to show where I failed and where he is doing the same things as I did. Use this as a road map to success and not as a way to make you seem special.

Goodluck All
