I've never thought I have strong :Ne: though I don't like to say such like I gave up somebody or so.

Sensing wise, I can be a little violent. I don't mean I'm the kind of guy who will start hitting/throwing everything when I get mad, but it happens. With me, it tends to build up slowly. I try to keep my cool as best as I can, trying to hold it in, but then the intensity starts to build up. I can get restless and impatient (but not as big a firecracker as my ESFJ sister) which ledas to bursts of energy coming out. If I really get frustrted I might do something like kick the tires of the car, or hit something with a baseball bat. :oops:
I hate both to hit something for irritation or to see someone does it.
It is, for example, noisy and loud when someone kicks the door of the locker. How it will be painful to kick it by myself while it's loud enough at a distance! I can't stand it. Put one stress off, then get another one. :8*
Also, I don't want to dent it by my hand (or foot). It gets dented and rusty naturally. Why must I take years off its life and make it ugly, for a little irritation? It's foolish.

I am also starting to realize that Introverted Sensing would make a lot of sense as my dominant function. I take a mental note of things I see around me and store it in the back of my head. I can easily recall and remember things I have experienced in the past and almost "relive" them in my head. I use this while typing people, as well. I notice the way people move, their mannerisms, facial expressions, etc. and when I see someone else I met I can automatically connect that person to someone else whom they remind me of. I'm starting to connect this with type, so hopefully I can first met someone and identify their type right away (this takes a little time, though).
Aggressiveness is from :Se:. And we already have the :Si: description.

physical relationships between processes taking place at same time and place - how they affect one's inner state; physical sensations (sound, smell, etc.), how one feels, health, aesthetics
And there's difference between noticing and memorizing.

I am also a very impulsive person. I used to associate this with being E, but I realize that ENTPs usually don't act like that.
E is implusive? I haven't seen it. I think myself of whimsical and less patient, but never associated them with E/I.
Quote:
I have a tendency to become very closed off and reclusive around people whom I don't like or find harmful. This would be atypical behavior for an ENTP, no?
Most people are so. Most E- :Fe: people look open-hearted, but they're close-minded in their own way. Just different from T's one.
ENTps are just not good to sense other's repugnance early.

I have a bad habit of acting rude around people, trying to disregard them if I don't like them or want to talk to them. Like I've said before, I have a problem with showboaters attracting all the attention to themselves. If I screw up dealing with people I will feel like a real asshole. Sometimes I could have easily done something for somebody, but for some reason I didn't and really felt bad about it afterwards. I also seem to enjoy helping people out and feel like there's something wrong if I can't help.
I avoid F-like contact like an avoidant personality disorder person, but even after I'm convinced someone likes me, I do it as much as possible. It may seem I'm avoiding them than before. I think I'm afraid to get them angry to say something bad. I just know it from past undergoings, not understand how others cope it or what exactly ticks them.
It goes well being careful in my speech and action, but then I begin to suspect they think they're avoided because I dislike them. Eventually, I have nothing to do to keep good relation, and no way to begin it by my initiative.
Is this same with yours?

I seem to fit the description of an ISTP kid when I was younger. I was a little brat. My ENFJ Mom recently was showing me video of when I was about 5, and she said, "See, this is what I had to put up with!" I was always hitting something, screaming, blaming other people for what I did... (but I think I'm a little better now :wink: ).
I think most little boys are so...especially non-F.

I have a tendency to try and e perfect. For example, I might be typing something on here, and if I don't know how to spell a word I will look it up. I also have a little problem with having to use correct grammar all the time (but I try to relax a little).
I think perfectionism is like that "the disease is removed, the patient is dead." And I'm not native English speaker. If I expect perfect in writing, I never can post like this. :)
Quote:
I think a poor Ni manifests itself when I am trying to figure something out (like typing someone). I usually don't like to post someone's type on here unless I am VERY sure about it.
Surely, you're much confidenter than others here.
Quote:
This has to do with the skepticism part. I am always telling myself that it could possibly be wrong and to try and look at it another way. I am also skeptical of other people's opinions when I think I see something that they don't and have spent a lot of time working on something. It's a way to see past the bullshit.
Most Ts are careful of polishing their idea and doubtful of others' ones.
Quote:
After I'd reflected on my type more I started to realize that I am much more Te than Ti. I don't like to waste my time on meaningless things or fruitless thinking. I try to be as practical as possible and everything I learn I have a purpose for it in mind. I always like to be watching over things, and sort of "check up" on it and be in control.
You said :Ti: guys waste their lives on crappy ideas? OMG, :Ti: vs :Te: war outbreaks here! :shock:

One of the reasons I thought I was an extravert before was because in school or around friends I can at least seem a lot more extraverted. A lot of the people I know from school wouldn't suspect me to be introverted. I would always like to be talking, laughing, etc. and I know that sounds odd for an ISTP. I have been told before that I "Just have to shut up". One guy I know from school told me that I'm "To gregarious for your own good" :o but I don't think that's the real me. The only way I can explain this is that I just throw my weak Fe function out and try not to be hurt by it. I still seem to enjoy spending time by myself to think.
Around people/think alone is F/T thing rather than E/I only.
Quote:
I also think I'm fairly independent. I enjoy figuring out and doing things by myself. I have also done things before like go to the movies by myself if no one else is around. No big deal to me.
ENTps think they're independent, independent enough to take care of others. :P
Well, I'm fairly doubtful you're ENTp too, though. The above is just joking, but I don't think only IXTxs can stand alone but all the types. It's just tendency.
And note that confidence is strongly associated with independence. You're confident of yourself at your age, ain't you? :)
Quote:
I have a habit of doing something that feels right in the moment, but things have a tendency to creep up on me.
You said you're impulsive. Ns can be quite impulsive from S's concrete view of the world.

I am very capable of keeping myself healthy and I always know what I want. I have a problem with feeling uncomfortable and try to fix it. For example, it's not uncommon for me to change shirts in the middle of the day if I feel sweaty or re-apply deodorant several times a day. I never foget about eating, not a chance (ask my parents :P ). I am also super-sensitive to touch. If someone touches me on the shoulder I would probably roll it in a little because I'm so sensitive to it. Unless of course it is someone who I don't want touching me, and I find them annoying. If that happens I would probably try and push their hand away.
Sounds :Se: rather than :Si:. To dislike being touched is considered as a guard against violation of your personal body space.
