I’ve noticed Ts in general being happier trying new things out if you throw the label “experiment” on them, then success or failure you succeed by virtue of having more knowledge. Cognitive functions aren’t skills that you level up—however by becoming more comfortable with skills in different areas, the less alien these things will seem (and the less alien parts of yourself will seem).

With Se + Ti the need being to fit things in less boxes, not to have an overarching storage structure of the boxes. I am so much better at real life Tetris when in that mode. Then I regret being good at it when I can find nothing (but, if I had the energy to STP unpack things would just go into place).

One thing I like about MBTI, it gives you a good framework to talk about strengths/weaknesses and personal preferences.

It’s fun hanging out with people that notice completely different things than you do. I find I’m much more aware of my surroundings are SPs, because of how in the world they are. <3 SPs!

The meeting itself was rather boring but, the interesting bits happened when the INTP started peeling apart the ISTP’s ideas.

The INTPs & ISTPs I know don’t typically feel the need to be direct about it but, freedom is paramount. I know an INTP that turned down a high paying job because it had less freedom than the lower paying one.

The ISTPs I’ve met seem really mellow and laid back but..have this hidden core of hating incompetence and all seem to think 90% of other people are incompetent at driving. Drive was an interesting movie to watch for having an ISTP main character, he had an under current of easy violence—though no cruelty.

I learned a lot working with an ISTP. If he said something was visually off, something was off. I also learned how to idea in Ti-Se style from him.

I’ve noticed my style of email writing changes dramatically depending on what I’m writing about. Anything to do with people/emotions and it comes a Ni/Fe novella. When replying to an NT, or working on a project, I switch to replying to their email in chunks—cutting in where I see something to reply to (rather Se/Ti: I see the thing, I cut it apart into smaller pieces).

Broken apart by first extraverted function. In general: Ts can seem more introverted when they’re indifferent to people. Fs can seem more introverted when they’re shy around people.
