Thank you for joining me in the fun of determining your personality-type based on Carl Jung's discoveries...It has been interesting to see how INTJs are the majority among you on the spectrum...This is no surprise to any of us...
The 16 personality-types has been a hobby of mine for quite some time...I like to think about it in terms of each person been born with 4 'tools' to navigate this world...In my case as an ENFJ, these four letters make me whole as a person...But at the same time, i am unique, because i use my 'tools' differently than another ENFJ...In brief, though human beings are very similar, we are also unique in our own right...
So, now that you have discovered the tools that you were born with, learn about your strengths and make the best of these 'tools'...It would be wise to learn about one's weaknesses as well...So, that we can work on those and avoid the pitfalls associated with our personality-type...Thank you for supporting this thread...Good night from my lockdown state CA

Yes, the great majority would flunk logic class, me inclusive
I am elated to find so many INTUITIVES among you all wonderful people on the spectrum...
In the world of NTs, i am the minority...

I'm a really rational, intelligent person.... and I think logic is difficult (like in the context of a class). You're not alone!

I'm the same.
I have what I call "native" or "organic" logic, but I am not sure I would do that well in a class situation.
Hard to believe, huh?

While I always end up being an INTJ, the INTP personality type fits me like a glove, according to what I have just read.
Here are a few examples:
Quote:
Objective – Logicians’ analysis, creativity and open-mindedness aren’t the tools of some quest for ideology or emotional validation. Rather, it’s as though people with the Logician personality type are a conduit for the truths around them, so far as they can be expressed, and they are proud of this role as theoretical mediator.
Honest and Straightforward – To know one thing and say another would be terribly disingenuous – Logicians don’t often go around intentionally hurting feelings, but they believe that the truth is the most important factor, and they expect that to be appreciated and reciprocated.

Quote:
Insensitive – Oftentimes Logician personalities get so caught up in their logic that they forget any kind of emotional consideration – they dismiss subjectivity as irrational and tradition as an attempt to bar much-needed progress. Purely emotional situations are often utterly puzzling to Logicians, and their lack of timely sympathy can easily offend.
Absent-minded – When Logicians’ interest is captured, their absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. Logicians become forgetful, missing even the obvious if it’s unrelated to their current infatuation, and they can even forget their own health, skipping meals and sleep as they muse.
Condescending – Attempts at connecting with others are often worse than Logicians’ withdrawal. People with the Logician personality type take pride in their knowledge and rationale, and enjoy sharing their ideas, but in trying to explain how they got from A to B to Z, they can get frustrated, sometimes simplifying things to the point of insult as they struggle to gauge their conversation partners’ perspective. The ultimate insult comes as Logicians give up with a dismissive “never mind”.
Loathe Rules and Guidelines – These social struggles are partly a product of Logicians’ desire to bypass the rules, of social conduct and otherwise. While this attitude helps Logicians’ strength of unconventional creativity, it also causes them to reinvent the wheel constantly and to shun security in favor of autonomy in ways that can compromise both.
Second-Guess Themselves

Second-Guess Themselves
Qualification:
-I am not condescending, though I am sure I appear that way often.
-I don't second guess myself in the sense that I lack confidence.
I'm always happy to look at another angle.
Who cares if I get it wrong. It will add to further enlightenment.
I am starting to think that these personality types are like Astronomy Astrology signs.
You can pretty much apply most characteristics to anyone.

Well, that is only natural.
You are politically left-wing after all.

We're all just bumbling around.
I don't tend to trust people who really feel like they know everything.

No, definitely not like astrology signs...As i tried to explain above, these are the "tools" we are born with...Each individual, however, uses them differently...There are a few INTPs in the world similar to you...But there is only one Pepe...Unless, of course, you have an identical twin with whom you share your DNA, fingerprint inclusive
