ISFJ for me. Read the description, seems pretty accurate i guess. ---

I test that way - T slightly more than F, depending on my mood when I test. Moderately J, reasonably N, and almost 100% I. ---

I am (shocker of shockers) INTJ. I used to be an ISTJ when I was younger. The I,T, and J and all pretty strong, but the N is weak. I’m OK being a “Mastermind” ;). My career choice will probably surprise nobody - I’m a programmer. I’m definitely a “lead from the rear” type, though. ---

Yours truly is very much an INFP. FWIW. ---

> [@SmashTheState](#): > > I’m a radical empiricist in the same sense as Berkeley. I believe that what I experience is real – my experience being the only thing I have, and thus I must accept as real in order for knowledge itself to exist. This I got from Kant. But I also perceive that “matter” is a myth, internally inconsistent and aesthetically unappealing. This I get from Berkeley. I think it’s this willingness to simply accept my perceptions and examine the overarching systems rather than inscribe a set of concrete truisms on stone tablets which makes the INTJs on SD hyperventilate when I venture an answer over in GQ. They see my empirical P as “granola-eating New Age woo” while I see their rationalist J as “dogmatic and blinkered materialism.” You presume a tremendous amount despite your expressed commitment to empiricism.
