To everyone else: if you don't hop in Robin and I are going to monopolize this club. Please post if you are inclined to do so. <br><br>To Robin,<br><br>I am ...
Dear Gigi<br><br>First of all, may I say how sorry I am to hear of your difficulties. As you note it takes two to keep a relationship going, and if one partner...
I echo Lisa's sentiments! Guys keep posting -don't let us monopolise; and your own comments to this exploration.<br><br>Lisa - I need a bit more time to think...
As it happens, things are a little bit better than they were when I wrote you -- I did finally hear back from my ENTJ friend. As I was by that time expecting,...

Sorry Lisa<br><br>My J rebelling at your P by calling your behavious indecisive - unfair.<br><br>The problem seems to be that you see yourself using both sides...
I have found that a early midlife crisis has set in and that I am having to reintergrate myself. Do you suppose that it is a natural state of affairs for an...
Hi - quite a post. Let me first reassure you that you are not necessarily having a midlife crisis (they are not mandatory), and even if you are, it is not ...
Robin,<br><br>Thanks for the response. My mother is most probably a NF. She is prone to exagerations and reads behind everything you say! She is also very ...
Sorry to just jump in here but I only now came across this club. . . <br><br>Personality type is definitely a factor of both nature and nuture and I know quite...

Robin,<br><br>Are you familar with the Enneagram? I scored 4 with a five wing. Supposedly that is a feeler with tendency toward analytical thinking. By the ...
Interesting - nursing of course is full of SJs - practical realists. I would try and do some work shadowing first, given your strength of feeling about...
I'm sory you did not have feedback from the therapist, because MBTI is far more complex than it first looks and goes a great deal deeper than many expect it ...
Daj: You pursued a career in law enforcement for the same reasons I enjoy reading about theoretical physics, to push the envelope and try to develop your weak ...
Okay, I think I really know which function is dominant now! Sometimes it takes a personal crisis to show you your dominant function. I am definitely a T and ...
Dear Dajfamily, great post- I'd say that if you are searching for your 'real self' that is classic INTJ. However- some of the vocations listed for typical ...
<<We are all a contradiction in terms, after all, aren't we?>><br><br>I'd put it differently: No terms can ever define who we truly are; so any ...
daj, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure this must have been a difficult ordeal for you, made worse by the insistence of the nurses that you share...

mtnfemme2, <br><br>Interesting that you went thru the same thing at 35 especially with you child being two. Mine is three. I got good news about the amnio ...
