<p>The MBTI was created by daughter Isabel Myers, and mother Katherine Briggs. The idea of Myers Brigs is everyone in the world fits into 16 personality types. Your personality is made up of 4 preferences. It is also made up of strengths and weaknesses. This is based the order in which you use 8 cognitive functions. </p>
<p>I would recommend looking into it. I'm still learning this, but there are many links that could explain it better. </p>

<p>I identify with the ENFJ type. </p>
<p>I prefer Extraversion over Introversion. I get energy from others, rather than solitude.</p>
<p>I prefer iNtuition over Sensing. I see the big picture, and possibilities, details, and facts.</p>
<p>prefer Feeling over Thinking. I make value based decisions, over logic based ones.</p>
<p>I prefer Judging over Perceiving. I prefer to have things decided, than leave them open ended.</p>
<p></p>
<p>ENFJs fit into a subgroup, with all the other iNtuitive Feelers. There are other sub groups as well, like Intuitive Thinkers, Sensing Perceiving, and Sensing Judging. The reason that sensors, and iNtuitives are split up isn't random, and has a solid reason. These groups date very far back, they are throughout history, and parts of the world. For example <span>Greek philosopher - physician Hippocrates, Four Humors are</span> based on this observation. A guy named David Kersey was updating these groups, when he came across the MBTI, and he realized that the 16 types fit perfectly into these four groups. He only made a slight tweak with Sensors, who he found were best divided by Judging verse perceiving. </p>
<p></p>
<p>iNtuitives are a lot less common than sensors. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot iNtuitive Feelers were on this site, along with some iNtuitive Thinkers. Of coarse I'd bet there would be all of the types. I wouldn't be surprised if there were many Introverts either. I'd be interested to see what most people's types are. </p>

<p>I'm a 34-y/o INTP female. I believe that I daydream maybe because my Feeling function is the least developed. Through MD I explore feelings I can't in real life, feelings I avoid in real life. For instance, daydreaming allows me to explore feelings and emotions I'm actually unwilling to experience in the real world, like romantic love and even sex. I'm introverted and very rational, and the main characters of my stories are rational and introverted as well, though not in the same degrees…</p>
<p>I'm a 34-y/o INTP female. I believe that I daydream maybe because my Feeling function is the least developed. Through MD I explore feelings I can't in real life, feelings I avoid in real life. For instance, daydreaming allows me to explore feelings and emotions I'm actually unwilling to experience in the real world, like romantic love and even sex. I'm introverted and very rational, and the main characters of my stories are rational and introverted as well, though not in the same degrees that I am. Only the supporting roles are sometimes feeling or extroverted types. I don't ever take part as a character of my daydreaming, even though I'm aware that my characters derive from myself.</p>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Now, my main characters do fall in love and do things I won't allow myself in real life. </span><span>To clarify, I have experienced romantic love and sex, I just have a terrible time understanding the feelings and emotions that come along, and quite frankly they don't seem worth the trouble in the real world. I don't like or understand drama. I also don't like losing control and, most importantly, I love the freedom that comes with not being romantically committed to anyone else. I just don't rationally understand the "perks" of being in a romantic relationship. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't want to marry or have kids, because all of it seems just annoying and useless. Romance and sex in fantasy are quite pleasurable, but in reality they seem like an awful lot of trouble and risk for a very minimum and senseless reward.</span><div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Also, being an INTP means I spend most of the time inside my head, which allows me to create and live in imaginary worlds. I love sci-fi and fantasy, I get immersed in these amazing worlds and get really attached to tv/book characters, I suffer what they suffer, struggle as they struggle, laugh as they laugh, love as the love, etc. I'm like a child in that respect. I am a hardcore fan of some franchises. I don't cosplay and don't really collect stuff, but I LIVE the stories and endlessly re-watch/re-read whatever shows, movies, comics or books I love. Sometimes I daydream about my favourite sci-fi or fantasy characters, but as stated above, it usually has something to do with romance and sex.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Finally, in anticipation of any criticism towards personality tests, I just want to make clear that MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) for me is a tool that helps me understand myself better. I used to think I was crazy because of my unusual personality, until I discovered this test a couple of years ago. After finding out I was INTP, it all just made sense. I don't think everybody fits perfectly into 16 personality types. Human beings are far more complicated, no doubt. But for me, MBTI has proven very useful as a guide.</span></div>

<div><span>So, is anybody else here interested in MBTI? Anybody else here can relate to what I've described?</span></div>
