No; I'm saying that you would have been so obsessed about your vision that you would not have thought of it as being incompatible. You would have come up with plan K to tackle all the difficult things within your major; if that failed, then that's fine, you'd move onto plan L. To a stranger, an INTJ looks like they're too focused. The words you're providing here seems to resonate with "P" behavior. They're better at changing with the ever-changing circumstances, and not be completely blinded to the reality by focusing only on the ultimate goal in the end.

I believe what you described of me is the typical XNXJ behavior. Being completely focused on the goal that everything else no matter how hard is just an obstacle (maybe a bit extreme XNXJ behavior, but nonetheless, I think it's a pretty good example of the difference between NP and NJ.. or maybe not). I've never heard of an XXTJ having a finger in every pie; I think that's impossible not to mention unnecessary. INTJ only needs to really have expertise in one or two areas because everything else can be universally applied (through Ni, I believe). As far as I know, INTJ's have a very specific area of expertise (or really, anyone who prefers "J" over "P"), and that expertise is the route to world domination (most seem to believe anyways, and besides, if you want world domination, you should look to the ENTJ; INTJ's tend to be the no.2 in charge, not no.1).

I don't think I'm pushing you into any corner; I wonder as to why you get these feelings. It's just a discussion about MBTI in a tribe related to MBTI. Does it feel like I'm pushing you into a corner because you happen to be the person that I'm engaged in this discussion with? What is so important about the type INTJ that you think I'm trampling upon your front door? What's so offensive? Preference type isn't life threatening to you if someone thinks you're not that type, and I don't think I've ever disrespected you, I just don't agree with your opinions... or does that count as disrespect? Are you only willing to discuss your type to the extent that they initially stand on the ground that you are INTJ? I did that initially; but this part of the discussion got more interesting.

Everyone here essentially makes judgment call based on what they believe to be convincing, including you. As a third party who has no interest either way, lack of evidence by one side makes me look to the other side who seems to have evidence.

Look, I don't think someone asking you about your type and how confident you are in it counts as trolling or flaming just because it's not completely pertaining to your topic of interest.

If you called me a loser and provided evidence that I couldn't refute to other than saying "You're biased," then yeah, it would obviously... be affirming that indeed I would be a loser. If you called me a loser but didn't provide any evidence to support it, then everyone would know you were just flaming/trolling me. Standing up for yourself and providing evidence to the contrary are two very different things. Besides, just saying, "everything you're saying about this topic is entirely wrong because you are biased {about my type}" doesn't cut it, and I think you would know that, especially if you're going into law. As for the whole assault analogy.... where are you going with that?

As far as the whole wallet analogy, but it's confusing me the more I think about it.

What if he refused to give it back at all cost and continued to hurl rude comments at you? Essentially that's what may be happening if we go with your story; Vicky Jo "took your wallet" by saying you couldn't be an INTJ and she hasn't given that wallet back to you (she still hasn't said, you're right, you're an INTJ, I was wrong). So you haven't gotten your wallet back, and you're stuck. Obviously in your scenario, Vicky Jo is the hostile party. And you still haven't answered my question: How are you going to get your wallet back? Calling Vicky Jo biased and misinformed clearly isn't doing the trick.

You have the choice to do whatever you want both in a forum and in a courtroom. Sure you may be charged with contempt in a courtroom should you shout out curse words, but you still have a choice to provide evidence to the contrary of whatever that hostile biased opponent may have said, but he still hurt your pride because he called your client a "liar" and provided evidence for that. What do you do?

I'm not sure why you think you're being disrespected at all. I also don't see why you think there's any hostility toward you. You can be self-righteous and rude anywhere, and that's fine, but at least to me, I don't think you were engaged in either behavior. I also don't think I was being rude just because I entered this discussion with you just as I wouldn't think you were being rude for thinking I somehow tried to "enter the front door," or assuming that I had some kind of reason for entering this discussion.

Being introverted does not mean one is bad at public speaking; my public speaking grades have always been excellent, and I have no problem speaking out loud in front of anyone (well, as long as I know what the heck I'm talking about). I am social when I need to be, and handling people is never a problem; I just sigh loudly when I get home and say, "geez, I'm tired."

I have a pretty decent analogy for that here: comparing them to a laptop, being intraverted means that he/she is out with people, it's like having a laptop operate without the AC adapter and running on battery; being extraverted means that when he/she is out with people, it's like having a laptop operate with the AC adapter; they both function perfectly, but the intravert will need to go back to seclusion to recharge, whereas extraverts will feel that being alone is draining on their battery.

Well, I must not have an intelligent bone in my body because I didn't see all these "conspiracy" that you're claiming. Do you think it's possible that you think she's "not planning anything conspiratory" with her video, just that it seems more like that to you because you know the subject they're talking about is you?

Don't group me with Vicky Jo; she actually wanted to help figure your type out because she thought you were being misled (the ever so good INFJ; she's just like my INFJ friends, it's almost scary); I'm just here to debate things for the sake of debating because it's fun. I'm not sure whether you're an INTJ, INTP, ENTP, ENTJ, etc. and like I said before, it doesn't matter to me what type you are. But I do think that some of what you seem to understand in terms of typing is not entirely correct, and furthermore, I find the difference in opinion interesting as well as the obvious difference in how we process things. The difference in underlying motivation and determination is very interesting.

If you don't want to talk about your type, that's fine. But above all, your original question wasn't as fun to discuss (because I mean, really, what's there to discuss, right? It's just a Yes/No type question, really if you think about it). "Yes, I changed major because..." "No, I never changed my major because...", or is that what you wanted..?

I just didn't make any assumption as to your type. I thought of you as XXXX, and just poured out all my experiences (while I'm not sure whether I am INTJ, I am pretty sure of my J, even if that's the only thing I am confident about) and knowledge on the topic. It's fine if that's the way you operate, but on such impersonal space, I gain nothing by trying to enter "your house," and don't really see the need to. I'm not trying to change your life here. If you are indeed a "P"-preferring person, this activity would be more "normal" and understandable, and I'd say there was no need for you to feel any guilt for doing what you're doing but it's your claim that you're a "J" that seems to throw me off, because what you said is what I hear a lot from a lot of my "P" friends.

...And I have no clue as to what you mean by "opening a channel of expressions."

What do I propose? I propose we continue this, if you don't mind; I disagree that we're going in a circle; obviously we're having a conversation on an interesting topic and there's input from both sides. But if you want to give up on the discussion at any time, that's fine too.

and... the last post... isn't to me, is it? I have no clue what/who n.b. is...
