Comment on Extraverted Writers: Talking It Out by AndreaJWenger

That’s good advice, V.V. Introverts often prefer to talk things through later in the process than extraverts, after they’ve had a chance to mull over their ideas. Also, introverts generally prefer a one-on-one approach, whereas extraverts are comfortable in a larger group discussion.

I’m more of an introvert myself, but often when I’m stuck, talking it out with someone helps SO much. I do this with my husband often. He’s not a writer, or plotter, and he knows nothing about story structure. Maybe that helps, I don’t know. But he can give a tiny bit of feedback which will put everything in perspective and line up the plot. I suppose he pulls me out of myself just enough to help me see the big picture.

As an INFJ female myself, I am just like your husband and don’t remember names either! I can imagine myself saying the exact same thing your husband did in this quote. Perhaps Funtiananalyst is right that you have a more developed Ti.

Andrea, this was a great example of distinguishing Ti from Te. It also should be noted that your Ti is an auxiliary no different than your Fe, and vice versa for hubby. Contrary to the Myers & Briggs theory, ones introverting auxiliary can be developed equally to the extraverting auxiliary.

What I would like to mention is that based on my experience and understanding, your hubby does not miss information because of his Te. He misses it because of his Ni dominance. Although you both use Ni to dominate, it appears you have developed your Ti as well. In this case, neither your Fe or his Te played a part in this dialogue.

Comment on The INTJ Writing Personality: Creative Precision by Razzie

Hah! I could shout, I’m so excited I found this page.

Over and over I’ve been discouraged with my characters- they weren’t believable and realistic, they never had the raw human emotions (even after filling out character questionnaire after character questionnaire!) So discovering this has been absolutely fantastic, and now I’m itching to get back to my notebook.

I think the biggest problem, for me, has been dialogue and character variety. Too often I find them all reserved, cold, awkward, unfeeling, and plain…boring. Who else has experienced this? What have you found that helps release the ‘inner EFP’ (; I’m just about to go research the personality types and writing them as characters. Haha, that’s something I can never get rid of, I love the internet and research!

Hugs to all my fellow INTJs (especially us ‘rare girls!’)

Thanks for sharing your experiences, Matt. These kinds of concrete examples can be very helpful to people who are trying to figure out their type.

I agree. As an INFP, Introverted Sensing is my tertiary. I am a packrat. I value tradition, but not at the expense of my other values. I like to keep things around that are familiar and have lots of connections to other things and concepts I have encountered in my past.
EXAMPLE: I don’t like China dolls because they’re creepy. But my mom bought a Yolanda Bello Matthew (my name) Doll that was made when I was born, 1987. He is dressed in a sailor’s outfit. My brother was in the Navy for 6 years, I like the ocean, and my family used to make trips to the shore all the time. Also, my mom passed when I was 13.
I am 24 and the doll is proudly displayed in my room with the stains he accquired through his journeys. Sorry for this rambling over-sharing rant. I just think this all has to do with my Introverted Sensing and illustrates this function. It probably has a lot to do with Introverted Feeling though, too.
