i've known this guy for thirteen years and for most of that time we've been acquaintances, later friends, and for the last six months, lovers. you'd think i'd have figured out his type by now, but no...and i'd like to know. of course he's not interested in doing the test. so let me give you a descrition and see if anyone can come up with any ideas. do you guys do things like this on this forum?
at first i thought he was an intj, but lately i've been thinking entj, but with his strong--and deep--emotions,and his seeming ability to read my mind, as well as an oracular bent, i'm even considering infj. in other words, i'm completely confused.
okay, here goes:
he's very take-charge in a lot of ways and competent in almost everything he does.
he will drop everything he's doing to help someone in need, even if it disrupts his rigid schedule (you can set your clock by his routine).
he's very sexual, an adventurous lover, but sex seems imbued with a spirituality that surpasses even mine.
though our life experiences are very different, we finish each other's sentences--or speak in unison--with alarming frequency.
he's a clean freak and perfectionist.
physics and kundalini yoga float his boat.
he's a voracious reader with eclectic tastes, but favors fantasy.
he's a strange mixture of idealism and cynicism.
he's an ex-Marine who did two tours in 'nam.
he's a confirmed bachelor in late middle age; in fact, he says this is the first time he's ever allowed himself to be 'in love,' whatever that means.
he's led a nomadic and varied life, always seeking freedom.
he's very protective and can be a little bossy, but stops when it doesn't work with me.
we don't have many disagreements, but the one time we did, katie bar the door! we're both very stubborn. though he handles conflict well with strangers, conflict with loved ones makes him physically ill.
he's very good at building furniture and repairing and designing wheelchairs, so he's got some mechanical abilities.
beauty and tranquility are important to him.
any thoughts?
