Also an ISTJ. I was amused by one quote that sums up ISTJ: my word is my
bond.
I've had that on my keychain for years.

Say, is anyone else here an INFJ? Supposedly it's a very unusual combo. Go
figure.

And add a third ISTJ. I never had problems with NIP, either. Both of
my had long catch up periods, so if I hadn't NIP, I wouldn't have been
able to keep up with all of my other responsibilities!

Okay, I finally dug up my results from when I had this test administered
several years ago by a friend who was finishing her masters in psych and
had to take a testing class.

Am I the only ENTP here? It says "independent, non-conforming and
sometimes a little rebellious and confrontational." Guess that's why I
have no problem NIP. ;-)

So is INTJ, but we do seem to be here in force! Maybe we just naturally
congregate in groups like this.

It sounds like your son may be an introvert -- being raised by an
extrovert.

Interestingly enough, when I took the test in college - ahem, 20 years
agog - I was an Introvert (though close to borderline). After
choosing a career where I basically HAD to become comfortable
interacting with people constantly I tested again a few years ago and
found I was now an Extrovert, although also fairly close to the
middle.

So - I guess that shows that people can change, at least a little,
through circumstances and maturing!

This is interesting. I am a very strong I- INTP. But many people who
hear that who work with me are surprised by that, because I have
learned to behave, at least in some contexts, like an E. So I can go
to a cocktail party and chit-chat, but I don't like doing it and it
takes a lot of emotional energy for me. What I was told by the team
that gave us the test (along with a bunch of others-- it was part of
an executive leadership development course) that your basic
preferences don't change, but your behavior might.

I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy the "Christian Mother Goose"
at a Goodwill book sale
here in Atlanta a few years ago. The one that I remember started out:

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them
But Jesus knows ....

Well, $1.08 and up, plus postage. About as good a deal as you can expect
online!

had to take it, and I am eNFj, lots of N, only 1% e, and equal
amounts of F and j. The analysis is really spot on.

Seems I am a rare personality: idealist teacher. But I knew that

Looks like we are very similar--I had lots of N, too! And I'm also a
teacher.

I'm not actually a teacher, although as a scientist, part of the job
is to tell people what you do and how. I did always feel strongly drawn
to teaching in high schools. AAMOF it was my fall-back option in case
I couldn't get a job in science (still is, actually).

I am very idealistic though, or actually, more a perfectionist (but
I think that is so close, they don't distinguish them). I've been
known to drive DH nuts with it, he is totally the opposite...

Haha. Chookie and I are both ENTP too. Neither of us seem to have NIP
problems.
