ISFP-T.. whatever that all means as I cant focus long enough to read it..

Had a hard enough time just completing the test.


You can Google ISFP-T and it will tell you what it means.


BUT, would I really be able to focus to read it is my problem.. it would need to be short and to the point.


Here's a shortened meaning hun...

An Adventurer (ISFP) is a person with the Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits. They tend to have open minds, approaching life, new experiences, and people with grounded warmth. Their ability to stay in the moment helps them uncover exciting potentials.

I skimmed through the longer explanation. There's an A and T version of ISTP. Some of the T version fits you. But it is possible since you had difficulty focusing, that you fit another personality more accurately.

Yup. I got very ill at 25 years of age and it stopped me in my tracks. Fibromyalgia. I went from highly intelligent and a leader to not even being able to think properly, with some amnesia. In hindsight, it was the best thing to happen to me. It made me think about everything and put life in perspective. Where was I was heading, what were my priorities? .
Life huh?

I was dead long enough that I ceased to exist. The front of my skull was reconstructed in an operation that took the 2 best oral maxillo facial reconstruction surgeons in Australia at the time 5 1/2 hours with a full theatre. The operation was recorded and became the primary training tool for oral maxillo facial reconstruction worldwide. I have chatted with people who were saved by that operation.
Side-effects:
1: Insidiously high IQ. It catapulted 10 points higher than Einstein's when I woke up 28 hours post-op, around 26 hours post-mortem and revival.
2: Insomnia. Initially I didn't sleep for 6 1/2 months. I haven't slept much since.
3: Pain. I mean skull feels like it doesn't fit in my head pain. Thermal overloading from the brain's activity level combined with 5 titanium plates, 25 surgical stainless screws and a wire kind of pain. I hope you never know it.
4: Chronic sinusitis. My nasal cavities are now miss-aligned due to the skull going back together not quite how it was before.

Bottom line: While in hospital I met a girl who didn't live long enough to see her high school dance or her 15th birthday and I had no idea what to say to her. So I studied psychology, psychiatry, clinical psychology and was lucky enough to find a master looking for a protege. Truth is I still wouldn't know what to say to that girl, but the destination was never important. That journey taught me what humility and enlightenment are.

Interesting. I took the 16 personalities test. They rated me as ISTP-A. It was pretty accurate, at least in my case.

What I thought was most curious about it, was that out of 5 pages of this thread, I'm the only one who is ISTP-A. Which fits what they said, there's only about 5% of people like me that exist. Sorta ties in with the color of my eyes-green. I'm rather exclusive, only 3% of the people in this world have green eyes.

I'm an oddball. I accepted that long ago. Good thing I was built that way. I can stand myself. (Its rather easy)

No point telling me to go to hell - I've already been there for years. It turned me into more of a zen Buddhist than anything. Fate, karma, this being our hell in preparation for heaven, all makes way too much sense. A journey I never regretted.

How old were you when that happened Glenn?

28. A good age when all is considered, as it left me scope to work with. Old enough to accept fate and deal with it, young enough to use the experience.

I will say this about the 16 personalities: not one of them says, “You are an a**hole”. If this really was an accurate evaluation, shouldn’t at least one of them say that? Instead, they all tell us things that we want to hear about ourselves. I could make myself believe that almost any of these profiles could apply to me, if I had a swollen self-image. And I have now tested into three different profiles on different days, when I felt a little differently about some of the questions. I’m sure Glenn is right about this, and I suspect that the whole thing is no more than a parlor trick, similar to a horoscope, which the imaginative person makes “real” only in their own mind.

Absolutely friend. Like I say, just google it and read the reviews from the leading psychologists. You really can answer the same way 3 days apart and encounter a variable because your mood is slightly different. I have known too many practitioners who will experiment without concern to the patient just to get themselves published. Getting published is the doorway to fame and the all-important research grants. INFJ=1956 Holden. :)

I took the MB test about 25 years ago and was impressed with the description of 'me' that it provided. Then I thought that fortune tellers 'seem' to have great success for no apparent scientific reason.

Dare I suggest the same sort of psychology is at work here and the MB test is not as wonderful as claimed by those who use it?

You're on the right track. It's an averaging system. The reason I shoot it full of holes is because we did research on the MB system purely to provide an example of psychology with individuality. People applying for a wide range of jobs from a very diverse background range tested within a 10% paremeter because they all answered with what they thought an employer would want to hear. We simultaneously tested 400 university students, 3 days apart, with a singular variable - less coffee. Over 80% tested with a different result 3 days apart. So the "science" of a psychic is far more accurate because of the individual aspect. They ask questions about the subject, build a profile and then make assumptions based on the law of averages. Or maybe they see beyond the mortal barrier. That's a question that science will never be able to answer. :)
