I know it’s probably mostly got to do with their functions (mostly referring to INTP here), but I was wondering, if any of you guys know, I’d like to hear what mbti types you are, and see if there’s some sort of correlation! I’m an aro INTP, and my sister is an ace INTJ :) I'm INFP, and I'm aromantic and quoisexual. I took the MBTI test multiple times.

Deltalorian Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I can't remember which exactly, but I am either an INTP or an INTJ. I think. Maybe. My memory is quite shoddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be a rare kind. There are rumored to be other emotions than romance. So it's perhaps not contradictory. 😉 But it still feels weird. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rationalcucumber Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I don't really believe in MBTI (it's like astrology for nerds) but I did it out of curiosity once and I got INTP. I feel like the description just lists off my autism symptoms but alright 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the description just lists off my autism symptoms but alright 🤷♂️ I heard this so often and I'm always surprised by it. To me MBTI is just yet another grouping of humans. Like Plato's (gold, silver, iron or bronze), humorism (sanguine, phlegmatic, ...) or Nietzsche's Apollonian vs. Dionysian, etc. I don't think those concepts were ever meant to be hard empirical science, more like philosophical or artistic. Astrology OTOH is way more complex, very ancient (it developed independently all over the world) and makes a very, very bold claim: the stars have a strong influence on our lives. Now I want astrology to be true, but I'm skeptical. E. g. I am aardvark with griffin ascendant. The strongest combination ... the world should bow to me, but this is not at all the case... 😞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsrainingtacos Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I'm aromantic and INTJ-T. I have also been INFJ, INFP, and ISFJ. This current one feels the most "me" though.

I've recently been reading about Medieval Astrology, and am going to look into Jyotish (Hindu Astrology). I'm not totally bought into its predictive ability, I'm just giving it a chance while I fill in some gaps in my knowledge of Occult lore. However I have been looking at my birth chart and Venus is retrograde and squared with conjuncted Mars and Saturn, and moving in opposite directions. My younger brother, who I suspect is AroAce, also has a retrograde Venus. That's a pretty interesting coincidence, whether or not you believe in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gray Warlock Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 If you asked me this question 2 days ago I'd have answered INTJ without hesitation. But then I had a revelation. Whenever I have to "extrovert" like at work, I'm spending quite a bit of time taking care of others, especially when I'm with family. Even my job is all about service. Hell, half of my posts on this forum are giving advice to others! I thought I was an "efficiency" type of person, and the way I experience myself is as logical and calculating. I've been absolutely certain I'm Ni dom for quite some time, and that I'm a thinker. So it makes sense. Until you consider the relationship between the first and third functions. Because I'm good at figuring out problems, I took my thinking to be extroverted. But then earlier today I encountered a math problem most would consider intimidating, but I closed my eyes, pictured it and solved it in moments! This is trademark Introverted Thinking, Ti. I have Ni as my dom, making my inferior Se. And I use Ti to solve problems, and since I already have an introverted perceiving function in the dominant slot, it has to be my tertiary. What does that leave room for? Extroverted Feeling, Fe, and there's only one place left in the stack to put it. That's right folks! You're friendly neighborhood warlock is an INFJ! It goes to show you can always discover something new about your type. It just takes constant vigilance and tireless self reflection. As an aside, for those people who think it's weird for a Feeler to be Aro, look at Nik Hampshire. That guy's an ESFP all the way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvest-Unity Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Does anyone else find that their ennegram, though less 'detailed' (I'm not sure if that is the right word, feel free to suggest an alternative) than the MBTI system, is more accurate at describing themselves? I don't even really believe in typology I just find it interesting. I suppose it may be because ennegram has more of a focus on motivation/basic desires, which I think are more relevant to me. Also it seems the most common might be INTP, funny because the PDB community agrees lmao. Edited August 23, 2022 by Harvest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, typology isn't something to be "believed in" it's simply a tool for helping you understand yourself. It's not meant to be strictly scientific, just practical. As a matter of fact I have doubts about the scientific status of mainstream psychology itself. The more I've observed the developments of "scientific" psychology over the last decade, the more it's beginning to look like a post-modern Western Yoga that uses scientific sounding jargon. Even the Buddhist derived practice of Vippassana (Insight Meditation) has been appropriated into psychiatric practice under the name "Cognitive Behavior Therapy"! On the other side of it, I've heard physicists admit the mind may be beyond the pale of scientific examination. That leaves us with the burdensome freedom of choosing for ourselves which way of understanding works best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Griffin and Aardvark were made up by me and (obviously) do not occur in any astrology system (an aro zodiac would still be kinda fun), the truth is that according to my horoscope I should be head of state now. Yeah... didn't exactly work out. 😃 Admittedly, you would have to force me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin- Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Aroace ISTP(-T) (represented by the guy holding a drill, and consistently referred to as LOVING hands-on practical work, despite me sitting around all day doing nothing). I don't set much store by these things, but I like doing quizzes and it's all in good fun. Plus, no matter how many times I take the quiz, even if I think I gave wildly different answers to my last set, I always get Mr. Drill. I've become pretty attached to him ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root22 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don't believe in that stuff. I get INFP every time and my friend who's into that shit a lot and has like a book on it agrees that's my type but I don't really feel it fits me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that a high-powered study might find some correlations between Myers-Briggs type and life choices. Probably also true for the Hogwarts Houses personality type. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
