    Default And Then Suddenly... A Type Changes

    Well hello erryone. I have just come across the realization that I am not, have never been, and will never be INTj. After reading every description over and over again from multiple sources and asking for outside opinions from family and such, I have determined my preconceived Mirror type, ENTp to fit myself much better than INTj. If you are itching to know why I have not realized this sooner (besides not realizing the descriptions fit better), I have identified the biggest obstacle as my previous interpretation of what the Introversion / Extroversion dichotomy represents, especially with regards to Breadth v Depth. Sorry to everyone who I have misled in the past with my long-ass duration mis-typing and I would advise to disregard every type diagnosis I have made in the past up to one month from now (I figure I'll be on the right track in a month). If you have any questions regarding this decision feel free to interrogate me here, or gloat, or rage, or be skeptical, or whatever else people do when this happens.

    Any chance you're 6w7 sp/sx? You've always seemed too light for a 5 to me, personally.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    My brains too confuzzled to determine e-type with this new information at the moment but if I'm not 5, 6 something is the best bet.

    Welcome home to ILE!

    Introversion/Extraversion is a far trickier dichotomy than it seems on the surface, and there's no shame in mistyping as a Mirror (I suspect it happens a lot, and I suspect more than a few "Introverts" to be shy Extraverts) - I like Depth/Breadth a ton, by the way, never looked at it like that before

    Your being non-LII explains why I never felt an urge to feed you into a wood chipper. Congrats on choosing an unshitty type.

    I said that a lot out loud in regards to people I didn't care for much at all, though my wording goes more along the lies of "force-feed him/her feet first into a wood chipper"

    *duality high-five*

    And yep, ILEs are just easier for me to get along with too

    Oh, wow. I didn't expect that since you always were pretty stable regarding your type. It also wasn't questioned much by everyone, afaik. But yeah, I got no problem with that, you should choose your best-fitting type.

    Hey Crispy, you old terrorist, does this mean every typing you contributed to or otherwise made a final, non-alterable decision is and was nothing ?

    Yes the breadth vs depth issue was I thought I had trouble making friends in general, but realized that my definition of friend was too narrow and that I just had trouble forming deep friendships, not multitudes of acquaintances. Shyness is also a confusing trait I carry as well.

    I don't think I've really had a chance to evaluate your typical mode of operation. I admit though that I had a somewhat forced impression of LII.

    Are you sure of Alpha NT? But just confused on LII and ILE?

    I'm certain of / at least.

    I take it you have personal experience with this incident

    The only way I see that happening is if I feel so strongly introverted that I can accept being rational as well.

    you sound fair, i won't be harsh.

    also i've always understood what you said really well, i have this indeed more with ILE's than LII's.
