I’m just fresh from the MBTI Qualifying class (it was last week, but that’s fresh enough). Part of the training includes discussion of the history behind the indicator, how the questions are written, and how measurements are tested for reliability and validity. The pre-reading covered some of the same areas, but not in as much […]

I am INTP. My dominant function is Introverted Thinking, my auxiliary is Extraverted Intuition. If I do not feed my Ti, I begin to wrap round my axle. If I do not feed my Ne, I starve. I need information from the world like plants need water. My tertiary process, Si/e has emerged and I […]

One of the points the author discusses is that mothers of kids diagnosed with the syndrome seem to prefer […]

A few months ago, I knocked a glass off the kitchen counter. The glass was half-full of water and shattered on the floor. I had moved the glass twice to a safer place on the counter on the left side of the sink; each time, husband relocated the glass to the right side of the sink.

I’d like to continue my comparison of INTP and Enneagram 5. Although a preference for INTP does not necessarily mean a preference for Enneagram 5, I think this is a case of exception proving the rule.
The previous excerpts from Thompson are followed by:
INTPs who make a deliberate attempt to apply Extraverted Intuition to themselves feel […]
