Get back to me when they prove Einstein to be wrong about something

Get back to me once his theories get promoted.

Apologies. That sounds a bit snottier than I meant it, Fargo. I really am mildly curious where I diverge from ENTP-ness - and does being a "-T" make much of a difference

Ha. See?

I always mean for my replies to sound snottier than they actually were.

It wasn't that. It wouldn't have mattered how snotty it sounded, if what was stated was accurate xNTP's would likely never think an apology was necessary.

Also true.

The best approach in communicating with an ENTP is to be straightforward. No games – they’ll win. No "pulling rank" – they’ll just want to put you in your place. No apologies – you’ll undermine yourself. Try "I need/want to talk to you."

Wow, very much INFP-T

I wonder how differently the tests would look if someone else took it on your behalf. How you perceive yourself might be a lot different than how others perceive you.

I did that with my son, who I think I know pretty well. I got 3 letters right.

I was surprised...it hit me about 90%

I've recommended this to folks before who couldn't seem to wrap their head around answering a series of questions according to their basic underlying preferences, when most of the questions could be easily answered either way under varying circumstances or from some other frame of reference.

How would your spouse (or another who knows you quite well) answer them for you?

For me since we have been married for 33 years and dated before that for 4 years, she would get the same results that I get. After this many years, she knows me very well.

Us both knowing ourselves and each other has been probably the greatest contributor to us having a great life together.

No apology needed, it didn't really come across as offensive to me.

ISTJ, here .....

Oh yeah. Like we need another one of those.


J/K. Bit there seems to be a bunch of ISTJs on INGO.

Maybe your question was rhetorical, but I imagine people view me as more Thinking and Judging than Feeling and Prospecting. My wife may get it all correct, but I doubt anyone else would. INFP describes me very well, though.
