I had to think about this for a while so I'm not writing up a loose Ni-Ti-Se "novel" but still have a feeling this will take up a page if I don't trim it down.

Long story short(er) my 20's I was not someone looking to be "INFJ" I didn't even want to have a "J" associated with my identity. Absolutely rebelled at that thought. Wanted to be as close to 100% "P" as possible.

But I couldn't decide on the T/F divide. As soon as I found myself focusing on one "Fi" for "INFP" my logical and literal mind would rebel at this concept. I wanted to believe something, but how do I know it to be true and if it is true, how do I know my view of it really is the truth?

That jumped "Fi" out of being my focus and switched it to Ti...for "INTP" and I'd look up facts, fact check people, because well if we're talking about matters such as entomology, hell you gotta get your bug right if you're posting a picture of it for the world to see..

I'd be the one to tell you your "butterfly" is a moth, and if we want to be more specific Uraniidae. and if I can narrow it down to the exact species all the better...

Then that got me thinking, all these attitudes people have about moths and butterflies, spotting the parallels to how we judge the world and specifically each other.

It seemed like Ti-Ne next leap was to apply that to psychology some way. So I got to thinking about trying to play psychologist from a "Ti-Ne-Si-Fe" like perspective. Let's just say that didn't go well....

I quickly learned facts have their time and place, but Fe needs to be considered as much a valid focus as Ti.... And if I focused on values over logic, then well, I'd get my ego hurt.... So that isn't the way to go.

So I kind of settled on INxP but denying that in behavior I can be quite a "j" if I didn't curb it...
