I am INTJ. Always.

I like the description of this type. quite accurate for me indeed! all except the apparent love of words games - I'm rubbish at those! But, I suppose words is just language, and I'm both a musician and a computer programmer, which are both languages. So perhaps I have shifted my thought processes to different types of language. I do like writing stories though(!)

First time I ever did this test, and am I the only one to find it a bit disconcerting that just by answering some random questions, people can work out how you think?!

I believe our only E is an ESTJ.

That's me? I did a similar Myers-Briggs test in the past, and I'm an ESTJ.

Do you have Aspergers or another form of Autism?

Do you have Aspergers or another form of Autism?

I haven't been officially diagnosed yet. I thing I have PDD-NOS, I'm not sure about Asperger's.

 

[HelloDizzy]

Oh okay, if you do get a diagnosis, I would be interested to see what it actually is (if you're right, I'm not so surprised by your results.)

Could it be your challenging life experiences have influenced this melancholia? I wonder if you had been born into a more nurturing positive environment if that melancholia would not be there or be considerably less prominent.

 

[Cerulean]

Gosh I shouldn't be surprised but I'm an INTJ as well.

INTJ here. Strong INT and close to the line between J and P.

I think it's good to read more about the types (as in the book Please Understand Me) to really get a feel for whether you fit in one. Otherwise you have to do a lot of interpretation of nuanced statements. With this book, I've had fun trying to figure out all my family members...

 

[HelloDizzy]

I believe all typology is confirmed and permanent by age 6 if not at birth. As well as temperaments.

 

[Soup]

Interesting, Dizzy! What makes you so certain? I know many famous psychological theorists share your belief. Freud set the age at 7. Actually, so did Hitler. I believe it has to do with the rapid brain development at this age & things becoming hard-wired.

Type surfaces through a process called function "differentiation". A person's E/I and J/P preferences are said to develop around 2 years old. This also figures in their temperament (I mean classic temperament, not Keirsey, as classic temperament is E/I and people/task). When the dominant function differentiates (around 6), that adds the third letter to the type. Then the auxiliary develops (around 10-12), then the complete type is evident. You can see this here: How we Develop our Personality Types

Here also is a quick intro to type I've put together:

[HelloDizzy]

Some of what I believe about personality is based on Freud, and I also believe genetics can play a huge role; I wasn't raised by my dad but we're the same type.
I know that by age 6 I was using all of the INTJ functions.
