Awesome, I'll check those articles out now! Thanks for the input on my type, as I haven't really considered the extratim possibility, but I think those are my patented Italian-style Wavey Hands more than anything.
Yes, a little bit. It sounds like me in some descriptions, but I don't feel particularly detached or extremely logical. I tend to react emotionally to situations first, and then realize how my reactions are overblown when I stop to think about things. I don't really relate to all of the talk about systematizing and ordering everything; I do that sometimes, but mostly when I'm stressed and looking for a way out of the hole I've dug myself into. I remember fudging numbers all the time in college science labs because I couldn't be arsed to spend time on something so tedious. I'm a weird hybrid of an artist and a scientist, but I'd rather write than do scientific work.
I can see my being
over
in Socionics if
involves deep insight, as I'm not really focusing much on the future outside of what I'm anxious about at any given time. However, I am highly aware that "Everything changes and nothing remains still... and... you cannot step twice into the same stream" (Plato); this seems like
time-sense to me.
In general, I feel like my focus is more on people than on logic. For example, a few years back, my best friend's grandmother died, and my friend called me sobbing. I consoled her on the phone because I lived on the opposite side of the country and was hurt that I couldn't be there for her.
When I got off of the phone, I made her a batch of her favorite cookies, looked up how to make origami flowers and made her a bunch, then overnighted the package to her house with a sympathy card. Logic would've told me she'd get over it soon enough, that I was broke and shouldn't spend the money on shipping, but I felt compelled to do this anyway.
I'm sure INTjs are capable of sympathy/empathy, but I'm not if my actions are something an INTj would normally do in such a situation.
