"force my hand"'s type

[force my hand]

an argument is ironically a great way to reconcile with another person because it airs the BS and we can start from square one.

Don't you love it? This is one of the reasons I'm going into law, heh.

How old are you, Gilly, and what path are you planning to take/are taking?

I considered law in the past because despite the jokes, society still sees it as a respectable calling. Plus the money is nice and you get to use the ol' brain now and then. I fudged on it, though, because I knew simply getting my bachelor's degree would be difficult enough, to say nothing of an extra 2-3 years in law school.

Anyway, because the board if dead as fuck tonight, I'm going to babble-on here for a second. The other day at work I was sitting at a table in the bistro drinking a cup of coffee waiting for my shift to start when my work buddy who is a few years older than me (and I think an ESTj) walked in and said "How's it going, old man?" ...at that moment I knew I was an ISTp.

All kidding aside, I think the initial suspicion I had of my type when I joined this board around a year (or more) ago is correct. initially proved difficult to rationalize, but I had no problems with (or at least some form of Thinking) - in the latter's case, I think it's because a lot of what I am expected to want and expend my efforts on as a young man is directly related to events. But my usually leisurely pace and somewhat passive approach to extraverted thinking makes no sense with respect to be a dominant of that function - even though there is much in the EXTj descriptions which seems to fit. I think in the case if the ISTp, the relative prominance of extraverted thinking and introverted intuition can sometimes confuse.

I do know that excessive types irritate the hell out of me, though. ...Kristiina and cracka, of course, being exceptions.

I can totally accept SLI... you give off that mellowness and general "fuck it" attitude. You're deffinately on my "good people" list

[Ms. Kensington]

me too. He actually said it.

i have an istp friend who is mellow, confident, and into law too. Then he dropped that and became a cinematographer

and I know another one who is not so mellow, in law school, and going to drop that and pursue music (looks like njio actually).

Haha, thanks bud - likewise!

Haha, what is it with ISTps and dropping out? My first try at university ended that way - this time around I still have the occassional period of strong doubt, but I've had a few years now to realize that doing something on principle can be just as important. The statistics show that college grads make more money, experience less divorce, and abuse fewer drugs (among many other behavioural traits), and to me that sounds like a good demographic of which to be a part.

What about you, Ms. K - are you planning to take your music to a higher level, or are you focused on some other pursuit?

Honestly, I think that force my hand is the only SLI on the forum. There are potential SLIs, but no one I can say for certain.

You remind me a bit of jessica129 in that picture, same eyes.

My initial vague impression of you actually was IEI, possibly from a general resemblance to Baby (as in, you both sound a bit alike), but now I'm not sure.

[jessica129]

I think it's the eyebrows :wink:

And if forcemyhand isn't ISTP, i seriously question if there are actual ISTP's in existance.

IEI, really? Interesting of you to say that. Any particular reason coming to mind for that impression?

I ask just as a curiousity. Insofar as my personality can be defined, I feel very good with ISTp.

Oh that was just my initial impression a long time ago - I don't have any opinion at the moment. I don't remember my reasoning back then; it was probably fairly superficial.

Regardless, good observation, Elro...

From a V.I. stand-point: ISTp and INFp males, I've noticed, often have similar looks in their eyes--the Ni subtype of INFp and the Te subtype of ISTp, in particular.

ISTp and Ni-INFp males are (usually) obviously Ip--as opposed to, say, Fe-INFp males, who can seem extroverted (in a lot of cases.) Usually, their eyes are calm--and kinda mocking, connoting something along the lines of "I'm unimpressed." This is the look that can lead ppl to type celebrities like Heath Ledger and Edward R. Murrow both ISTp and INFp.

Both types are often adventurous and have sarcastic senses of humor... The types of adventures they enjoy though, are usually different... force's self-typing seems right-on to me--having read his posts for, what, years now, a type strong in Te seems right... As does Ip temperament.
