22 out of 36, which is better than I've tended to do on these types of test.

Been a bit down lately, for political reasons, but this video has massively improved my mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfLa64_zLrU

All of this is very familiar. I was the unofficial leader of my three siblings, and decided on all our games and invented massive and (for a child) elaborate mythologies in which our games always operated. I could be very tyrannical, especially when I was young, and prided myself on being the...

What I've learned since getting involved in local politics: it's shockingly hard to remain nuanced against the competing demand of loyalty.

True, human relationships have that inherent complexity irrespective of Fe or Fi dynamics. And alienated forms of political economy do not help matters.

I can definitely see what you mean, and indeed I like nurturing in this sense, but I can often see how taking a teaching role can be a way of controlling the other to distract from the self. And sometimes I wonder if a more anxious Fi style of teaching, one that undermines itself by demanding...

This is definitely the commonly represented and kindest form of Fe. And I think, because in so many ways us INFJs don't naturally fit-in with conventional thinking, we can forget how much Fe is favoured socially over Fi and how in that respect we can be more conventional. I agree with the view...

Absolutely, retrofuturism is a fascinating thing, and the ideas behind it deserve a careful dissection since they are full of fruitful contradictions. Moreover, retrofuturism constantly evolves—so, we have the futurism of the past; the imagined futurism of the past, and the satirical mix of...

Absolutely, Disney's views on the left were very much informed by disputes with trade unions and McCarthyism that formed a backdrop to the politics of the times, sadly culminating with him giving names to the House Committee on Un-American Activities. I definitely want to research this in-depth...

I'm hoping to learn more from his biography, but yes, by all accounts, he was quite bullying, driven, slow to complement, quick to criticise, feared, etc. In at least some of his functions, he must have been low functioning, which always complicates typing and especially typing at a distance. He...

Absolutely, I think I and S can be easily ruled out. In terms of the possibility of ENFP, I don't get a strong Fi vibe from him. And ENFJ would make him an Fe-dom, which doesn't feel right either. In terms of ENTJ, that's possible, but Te-Ni seems to describe his process less well than...

Thank you @Asa @Lady Jolanda and @Wyote ENTP does make sense, and I could see how an Ne-dom would make a great protagonist for a traveler to utopia narrative, so it works for me.
