Conversation over Beers and Ukrainean Food

[teaberryblue]

Last night, cacophonesque and I went to a bar and then to dinner.

We started talking about The Myers-Briggs< Inventory, and discovered we had the following in common:

--We both score very close to the threshold on the "E/I" (Extrovert/Introvert) scale, and often switch sides because we are just a few points from the middle.
--We both score as an N on the "N/S" (Intuiting/Sensing) scale.
--We both score as a P on the "J/P" (Judging/Perceiving) scale.

On the last scale, one of us is an "F" (Feeling) and one of us is a "T" (Thinking).

We were wondering if our friendslists could guess. Many of you know both of us, so we were wondering.

[Poll #1539789]

Please tell us why in the comments!

The best conversations are usually over beers :)

That aside, my guess is that Destiny is the *NTP. But I have been wrong before. I could see how both of you could fit the NT part, honestly, given the things I've read about both of you, our conversations, and your comments toward me and others.

I'm an ENFP, but that was probably pretty easy to determine :)

[skirmish-of-wit.livejournal.com]

My immediate thought was that Destiny is the *NTP because of the way she reasons through even her emotional responses to things, and because of the way it seems like she experiences emotional epiphanies as a result of thinking through her memories. I am definitely an NT (although I'm INT*) and that process is very familiar to me.

I guessed Denstiny, and I think that's the obvious choice. So the fact that there is a poll, makes me think it might be the opposite! *over analyzing*

I love Myers-Briggs testing! I'm always strongly INT, but J/P is always almost 50-50. I really don't know which I am, but I think over the years I'm going from slightly more J to slightly more P. maybe.

I guessed that you are the NTP Tea. I just gets the feeling that Destiny might be a bit like me, we seem thinking but are rather feeling under the surface. And you're so damn logical a lot of the time *grins*.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense for you! The only part I wouldn't be able to guess if I thought about it was the E part, but I think for most people, it's hard to tell online who is an extrovert and who's an introvert.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

It is interesting to see friend's results and how they are similar and different from our own. I can definitely see the NT part of yours, and why you would be close on the J/P scale.

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

Yeah - as I've gotten older, I've been more on the E/I line, honestly. And being sick has certainly altered things, too. But up until about - I'd say late 2008, I was definitely an E, without a doubt :)

See, now the more that I think about it, YOU may be the *NTP. I hope you reveal to me who it is, because I am curious. I can how that fits both of you, actually - but I think that, though you are extremely logical, you feel a lot underneath, even if you don't often reveal it. But I feel as though I could say the same for Destiny, though, lol. So you'll have to let me know :)

Destiny because of Hogwarts house stereotypes >_>

Honestly, no clue I have a hard time telling the difference between what is really N (intuitive) and S (sensing) anyway. THey always seemed a bit of the same coin to me... *scratches head*

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA. ILU.

[lunylucy.livejournal.com]

Hehe XD

BUT IT'S SO CLEAR.

GRYFF=F, CLAW=T. I don't care what the truth is in regards to you two this is my personal canon :P

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

Oh! That one is easy! The S (sensing) means you make decisions based on what you sense (what is observable in the outside world). The N (intuiting) is when you make decisions by observing things and then analyzing them or considering what those observations mean.

But our difference is between T and F anyway, thinking and feeling! Or my initials.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

This is a very valid interpretation.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

That is my Vulcan ancestry.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

Well, this wasn't meant to be a trick question. It was more "do our online personalities (what other people see online) jive with the way we interact in person? Let's find out through the wonders of science polls!"

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

I think I've actually talked to one or both of you about it before so am going by what I think I remember.

[astraevirgo.livejournal.com]

I'm an INTJ, and I'm having a bad time avoiding social media today. (I was an E in my early college career, but since Tim is more E than I am, I have slipped more deeply into the I category over time and circumstantially.)

I would have no clue as to who is which, but this is still entertaining.

[gildedage.livejournal.com]

I chose Des as the Thinker and you as the Feeler. And only because that's what it feels like to me.

[strix-an-stones.livejournal.com]

And I totally missed the boat...*flump* I'd say you're the feeler T. wow, made you sound like a groaping girl didn't I? Should quit while I am ahead.

[sileri.livejournal.com]

That was my logic too

[butterbuns.livejournal.com]

That's how I thought about it too, hahaha.

[kikithepirate.livejournal.com]

Because I think the INTP profile is really, really Destiny-ish:

Seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests them. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. Have unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in their area of interest. Skeptical, sometimes critical, always analytical.

Whereas I see you as an ENTJ:

Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement comprehensive systems to solve organizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas.
