Anonymous asked: The "perpetual feeling of impending doom" might be because of depression or, even more likely, ADD. Just saying, because I am an INTJ and I am confident, but I also do have this sense that my world might collapse around me any minute. I haven't gotten tested yet but I am pretty sure I have ADD so I thought I would share it with you in case you wanted to look into that. All that said, INTPs are great too so don't sweat it! :D
I love being an INTP! Sherlock Holmes is supposedly an INTP and that was enough to get me on board :D To be honest, I wouldn’t mind being any of the “rationals” (XNTX).
I don’t think I’m depressed. I do get gloomy sometimes, but that’s usually from me thinking too much about about the future. Currently, I’m always thinking about my future because I will be graduating college soon and have no idea what I’m going to do next. I’m not even sure I like the major I’m in anymore. Huh. Oh well.
When I was a child someone told my mom to have me tested for ADD so this isn’t the first time I’ve considered it. She didn’t have me tested because the only symptom of ADD I had was inattentiveness and that got a lot better with maturity. Even so, I guess it could still be possible that I have ADD and have just learned to function well enough that it doesn’t cause too much of a problem.
Anyway, thanks for responding (whoever you are). You’ve given me some things to think about. I love having things to think about :)
acciobeautifulhorcruxes asked: omg that INTP vs INTJ post is EXACTLY me!
I figured many INTPs could relate. I read somewhere that a lot of INTPs test as INTJs although the opposite is less likely.
and those online test aren’t very reliable.
I think you get the most accurate typing through introspection and your own research. Initially, I would consistently test as INTJ and only once did I test as INTP. I ignored the one off because I thought INTJs were so awesome and unique and was proud to be one of the few.
I saw red flags when reading about how INTJs are so self-confident and organized. Although I would love to have those qualities I know they are not me. I have a perpetual feeling of impending doom and and the only reason my type-A roommate and I get along is because I promise to keep my bedroom door close (some people just can’t handle creative clutter).
END.
I always have too many thoughts in my head. When I open my mouth to speak, it’s like trying to drain the ocean through an eye dropper.
