Oh, you LUCKY. Sounds like you're more decisive than I am. It takes me forever just to decide which of the many items in my wishlists I should get THIS time!

Oh, you're almost the extroverted version of me! I envy you a bit, as well!

I'm an INFJ. It's interesting to see just how many introverts there are on here. When we took the test in my sociology class and later in my psychology class, the I's were certainly in the minority.

Gotta love the internet. ;D

Exactly! In general, E's are more common than I's, which is why we're so often misunderstood. However, on the interweb, I's are more common because we're the ones sitting at home alone, typing away; communicating with others, but in a way that allows more introspection, and also allows us to be alone while we communicate!

I'm betting the inventors on the 'net were I's.

Excellent points! The Internet has really been a boon to us "I's", don't you think? I would take & raise your bet!

Haha! Indeed. (That was supposed to be "OF the 'net", by the way.)

I know the man who invented the first computer was definitely an I: Alan Turing. Also gay.

I took this test many years ago at work for a Myers-Briggs Seminar and discovered I was a ISFJ (6%): "Conservator". Loyal people with a desire to help.

ISFJ-I need to be needed and am taken for granted. Sounds about right!

Wow, POP and Jenasaisquoi - we have the same type, which is only 1% of the population (at least in the U.S.).

I'm about split 50/50 between INFP and ISFP and my hubby is INTP. The F and T difference can be a little troublesome at times, but we're pretty darn compatible outside of that.

Do you find that your F and his T balance each other out a bit? Or does one of you tend to dominate the decision-making?

It means you're more extroverted than introverted; you tend to see the possibilities, the big picture, and connections between things, rather than focusing on the hard facts of current reality; you tend to make decisions based more on how you feel about them than what you think about them; and you prefer to have things decided and settled than to "play it by ear" or continue gathering information.

Decision making? LOL!!! Nooooooooooo we're *really* bad at coming to any sort of decision about anything. Literally. Sometimes we don't eat until 10 pm or later because neither one of us can figure out what to have for dinner, and we keep shooting down each other's suggestions... That's how all decision-making goes in our house. It's depressing!

My husband is VERY 'T' and I'm VERY 'F'. I guess if I had to say anything about how we finally come to any decision, it's usually because I get exasperated (and hungry) and decide to do my own thing. THEN my husband miraculously arrives at some sort of decision. We're pretty sad!

My husband is definitely the more passive person, and I'm the passionate one... so I suppose that my intensity usually does win out... but we're both pretty apathetic (which is sort of a contradiction, I know, but trust me, passion and apathy CAN happen simultaneously, about different things... if you're me...), so I wouldn't call it 'dominating' as much just my hubby accepting that his decision-making process is incompatible with accomplishing anything... lol.

Hmmm...that sounds a lot like the dinner decision-making between my ex-husband and I! I have a history of being really bad at making a firm decision, taking forever to order at restaurants and such, but I'm better now. Maybe with time, you two will get a better handle on what you're each seeking in a meal, and which things fit those requirements, and be okay with eating different things if that's what works.

I'm still terrible about deciding what to add to my EF order to get free shipping, though! It once cost me extra money, because the promotion on something I definitely wanted changed to a smaller discount during the time it was taking me to decide on my final order.

I'm a big believer in the Myers-Briggs personality types. The first time I took the test was in college. It was either a psych class or with a counselor, I can't remember. I was INTJ/INTP. I recently re-tested online and got ISTJ, I think.

They say that when you take the test, it's best if you use your first instinct. You should answer based on how you are, not how you want to be. But even going on my instinct like that, my answers change often because I react differently in different situations, as I'm sure most people do.

Today I looked at the below website:

Based on the descriptions there, I'm I(S/N)T(J/P), or IXTX.

Nice! I, too, think it's a great tool for categorizing personalities and understanding people better, including ourselves. I wish I was more on the S and J sides! Lucky you!
