: Over the weekend I picked up a book dealing with the MBTI titled,"Typewatchers". (I'm doing this from memory so the title could be a little off.) One of the things I found interesting dealt with those who were NF temperaments and their inability to find their way around. It brought up that this type could get lost between the front door and the car. Now while I'd consider this to be a bit of an overstatement I can definitely relate. It brought up how it is always an adventure to go on a trip with an NF doing the driving because NF's seem to view getting there an adventure in itself. This is prety accurate for me.
: The book also brought up NP types, or more specifically NTP types, and their lack of connection to time. I asked in a previous post if other 4's had problems remembering important dates and pretty much nobody but me had the problem. Then a 5 wrote in and said that he could answer yes to all my questions. He just happened to be an INTP as a lot of 5's are. I am an INXP split pretty equally between thinking and feeling so in this aspect I guess I lean towards the thinking preference. I feel I have a very strong 5 wing and this would seem to make sense in light of the MBTI correlation.
: I was just wondering if everybody would humor me and post their MBTI types. I already know several; Amanda: eNFp; Hal: iNFp; Summer: iNFp; jason: iNFp. I can't hink of any others I know at the moment but I'd be interested in finding out.
