I live in this zone about 75% of the time. I even find my eyelids narrowing, as if to keep out unnecessary sensory distractions.

I'm still snorting with laughter in a most undignified fashion :mclap: THIS, IMHO, is the most frequently misunderstood and convoluted part of the MBTI.

I believe you are right about the fixation being meaningful! I used writing to figure it out... I started writing memories and free associations, going back to early childhood. Then the patterns became clear. I am pretty sure primary is 6w5, with a 649 tritype.

Thank you for the input. I agree about arbitrary assumptions making it harder to discern. After much self reflection, I am certain that I am not a type 9, although I have developed more type 9 characteristics as I have gotten older. Hopefully that is a good thing ;-) I see type four in myself...

Beautiful idea, but not what happens in the real world. Everybody is a fake to some degree. IMHO it is part of being an adult. If I see someone with something terribly disfiguring, I might wish to stare at them to better understand what I am looking at. Or I might feel repulsed. But I will not...

The key misunderstanding here is the word "show". I want to KNOW, so that I can correct. I have no desire to SHOW others my ugliness. Why would I put them through that? ;-) I freely admit that I have many contradictory qualities. There are aspects of myself that I strive to be open and honest...

Why do you think it was cool?

Tertiary loop was the first thing that came to my mind when I started reading this thread. Yes, there is a point where one can close off the emotion and turn into a cold, robotic destroyer hell bent on enacting their chosen course of action. For myself, it makes the most sense to define that...

That article hit home with me in a big way. I hate the glorified INFJ descriptions that cast even our darkest qualities into some kind of greater than holy perfection that transcends mortal understanding... Therefore, I completely empathize with what INFJ Unraveled is trying to say... which is...

I'm usually more of a "fake it until you make it" kind of girl lol. But I do have limits on that. My fakeness is mostly about trying to recognize my weaknesses and make a determination not to act on them. Not about trying to take advantage of others.

How sure I am on being INFJ depends entirely upon whether you define "INFJ" by dichotomies, or by cognitive functions. I am 100% sure that I fit Ni-Fe-Ti-Se cognitive function pattern. But if you define it by dichotomies... I am strongly introverted and intuitive, but borderline on T/F and J/P...

I have taken many tests, and completely agree with this :smiley:. I put very little faith in tests alone. They are worthless other than as a tool to evaluate patterns and trends. That said, it had been a number of years since I took the RHETI. I do not remember my exact scores, but I do know...

I think I am probably also sx/sp. I read somewhere that this stacking is countertype to the typical 6, but there are so many variations of theory that I am sifting through. I know that 3, 6, and 9 are all connected on the lines of integration / disintegration, and I am pretty sure that I have...

I identify with being anxious, reactive, and intense, but quietly so. Superficially I am pretty much of a conformist. I identify with being loyal and committed. I identify with NOT identifying with any of the other types in some big, fundamental way ;-) . For example, I relate to being moody...
