They've been helpful for me when I had these kinds of questions. I'd be interested in...|||I have a Facebook account but I don't use it. I do like twitter. I never tweet but it is interesting to see what people are saying about the snl episode or basketball game that I am watching in...|||I experience almost everything mentioned in this 6 page thread but this sticks out to me. I will analyze something to the point that I can't remember all of the reasons that support my argument. ...||| that is further evidence that the tests don't mean a lot. I think Aiken is an ENFJ.

I've been lucky enough to be around a few that aren't overtly emotional. My wife is one and her mom is an ESTJ tyrant. That made her a lot mare logical than I think she would...||| Crap ... now I have to go slower. :laughing: I'm sure it all depends on who is watching and what mood they're in. Also, what kind of car you are driving. Some departments find reasons to pull...|||Maybe it's just me. I love setting how things work like that though, even if it is CGI.|||Thanks. I've been reading this subforums off and on for months now and never noticed if anyone cussed or didn't until after I posted that question.

At least it is different than the factory settings.|||I thought so too when I first ran into the MBTI. I prefer Se/Ni over Ne/Si for sure, though. My high level of introversion makes me seem more like an NT than an SP. I think ISTPs get a bad rap...|||Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think an Ne user would want to brainstorm about different things that something could be where an Se user would just enjoy actually doing the customization. ...|||I am feeling more comfortable with ISTP now. What really helped tie everything together for me was taking some time to learn about the enneagram. After understanding that I am an enneagram type 9 I...|||Are there any types that like to customize our stuff as much as ISTPs? I tend to (at least want to) customize everything that I own. It is to the point that customizing something is about at the...||| Thanks, allisreal. I haven't put much consideration into typing myself as an ISFJ. I will read and think about it to see what I come up with. I'm still leaning ISTP right now though.|||I think I made this post to see if anyone would look at my answers and say something like you can't be an SP because of this and this.

I used to watch those every once in a while when they were hosted on . That is one of the reasons I am interested in typing him. He is still putting...||| Penn's stage personality is loud, animated and a lot of people would say annoying. If you watched his Showtime show, Bullshit, he calls the people he disagrees with Asshole.

I see games as a chance to find out who has the...|||I saw this show while flipping through channels one night last week and thought of this thread. It's called Alternate History.
