MBTI
TL;DR: I think in the same way astrological signs are comforting to people who need to make up a system and give language to something really difficult to quantify, Myers-Briggs does that with just a wee bit more science and a wee less planets.
TL:DR2: I’m definitely an “N” but totally unclear on everything else.
No surprise here that before I started to write this out, I had that “Where do I document this!?” existential crisis. Do I write it in one of my (many) wordpress blogs? If so, which one? Do I use this to launch my own personal Wiki for myself? If so, where would I host? What platform would I use? What would be the end goal?
When really, all I want to do is document somewhere — ANYWHERE — the last few minutes of “research” I did about MBTI and the 8 Jungian… paths? Senses? See? I’m already getting everything confused. MUST. WRITE. DOWN. Jungian TYPES.
So first, let’s look at some handy charts I gathered from The Google:
This is my favorite chart and really helped me figure out why I frequently feel so conflicted. After reading this chart and self-diagnosing with my awesome powers of self-awareness (I joke — of course I’ve taken a formal test, many times and gotten many different-yet-similar answers, all in the ENFX camp) I’ve decided that the only thing I am mostly certain of is my N-ness.
After searching and reading and searching more and texting my dad and friend Madison, I realized that it’s totally normal to not fall into one specific category.
