Hijack Me! Lightning round controversy

[Recidiva]

She was the only woman I fucked who did the pussy fart thing. Thank god.

Doesn't sound like a turn on.

 

[Arkhilokhus]

I'm an INFJ.

It's more accurate than astrology. Though I'm a heck of a Pisces too. Just luck.

Definitely. I'm not usually one for personality tests, but Myers-Briggs is really very accurate, in my experience.

And I'm far too introverted to make a proper Aries.

Yup, it's only coincidence.

I think my husband is the opposite of me in everything except the I part.

My type's the "Counselor" and he's "The Mercenary"

That's interesting. Most of the relationship advice I've seen from a Myers-Briggs perspective has been of the "opposites attract" variety, so maybe there's something to that.

I think so. Helps to shore up weaknesses and not reinforce them. And his strengths are like...magic, they're so different from mine.

And absolutely fascinating to me, I can understand him, but not predict him. Awesome.

Husband and I are rarely in competition or in disagreement in the broad strokes.

Whereas when I was with people a lot more like me, we made each other nuts bickering over the tiny details where we wanted it our way.

Do you ever want to fuck your first boyfriend or girlfriend?

I have to see mine at times. It's unavoidable because of her job. I'm not attracted to her but I've always been an equal opportunity fucker. And it was some really good pussy 30+ years ago. But I'm pretty sure she is married. And you don't want to fuck around in a town of 8000 people.

I haven't seen my first in nearly 40 years. I'd absolutely thoroughly enjoy getting together with my second, though—at least for coffee and to see how she has lived her life. She was quite the bohemian in high school and a truly fine artist as well. To my knowledge, she married the guy that she went out with immediately after we broke up. I wonder if they might still be together.

About ten years out of college I ran into my first college-age girlfriend a few times at local alumni events. I'd still have done her if it weren't for my attached spousal unit.

Oh man, please whisper that in my ear sometime, yankee.

I do not want to fuck my first boyfriend. I ran into him once. He said to me, wow, you're, like, a woman now.

He was very perceptive.

Mister Man wants to fuck the 18 year old me that he's seen in pictures. It's a very Being John Malkovich moment to be jealous of yourself.

Touché

Sometimes I think that a good chunk of my approach to women is mired in 11th grade.

 

[WriterDom]

I was a pathetic fuck in high school. I don't think I ever lasted longer than a minute with a condom on. I was always a good pussy eater though.

Our first date, my first date ever, we were riding around on a double date in the backseat kissing and she reached in my shorts and started playing with my cock. I think I came as fast as Forrest Gump.

Good looking slutty First Baptist girl who weighed about 98 pounds. I wouldn't call her submissive but she was always up for any form of sex. I didn't know how well I had it. We were together about two and a half years.

Not really, no. It was good, but I'm over it and busy now. I mostly wish I were hanging out and going to shows with him and had his musical tastes back.

I'm also an INTP. Which makes me some freakshow small percentile of something. And I love Alton Brown. Who's also a ringer of sorts in build and mannerisms for my lover down to the bad shirts and chemisty nerd excitement.

I don't think M's ever touched the test, but if he's got to be the most INFJ of INFJ's.

 

[Adakgirl]

Ahhh Carl Jung was such a fascinating person. I would like to read his biography someday. I was a ENTP but I took his personality type test just the other day 3 times.
1st answering the questions with how I was most of my adult life, then 2nd time how I felt the past two years , then 3rd time-how I am now. I came up with three different types. I am a Gemini thought so that may account for some of the discrepancies.

I've always tested out exactly the same over about 10 years.

But at least I get to be called damned near psychic and in the company of about 2% of the population.

Finally. Something that makes sense.

Once on an incredibly good happy day I tested ENTP, but borderline, so I ignore that.

Thank you.

I've tested INFJ every time I've taken the test for 5+ years now. The new manager at work tried to give us a "really cute getting to know you test... it'll be FUN!" I read three questions, told her it was the Meyers-Briggs, I'd done the Meyers-Briggs, I was an INFJ, always scored INFJ, and refused to take the test. She kept swearing up and down you never score the same way twice and I really really really needed to take it! It'd be FUN!

I won the argument when she finally realized I was serious about quitting without notice if she forced the issue.

Great article

Yes, about BC, and also her relationship with her husband. And the way you see her shopping. Most people do not go to several stores to get their food, but my mother still did. That may be why it's comforting for me to watch her show. She's the anti-Martha, in a way. She's so not a perfectionist. And while she always presents things perfectly, it's never a result of some insane, OCD fit, like Martha. I mean, I actually sort of love Martha Stewart, because she sort of embraces her insanity, but I will never ever be Martha Stewart.

I've gotten a laugh or two from her daughter's show. Good stuff on occasion.

You two test the same consistently because you are young and have not yet reached the transitional stage of your lives yet. I don't mean menopause, I mean midlife. These changes can start anywhere from 45 to 50yrs old. I just read an interesting book written by behavioral psychologist
Kathleen Brehony titled "Awakening at Midlife" she uses a lot of Jung's theories all throughout it.

Her basic premise is that and I quote

: At midlife the underlying, often unconscious psychological issues that are straining to emerge, the search for wholeness that occurs at this time and the frequent confrontation of one's own and others mortality are not so simple, nor are they restricted to race, gender, class, education or any other demographic variable.

The midlife transition is a deeply human experience. Some of us might drift into it unconsciously , barely noticing the side affects. Others of us will feel as if we have been knocked over the head with a two by four. But ALL of us will be confronted by the profound and inevitable developmental realities of this time of life.

Most people will experience some physical, relational, professional, or psychological changes during their middle years. Some will experience these symptoms at a very intense level

So it is with the Self. Underlying psychological and spiritual forces are creating an internal combustion between the parts of ourselves that we know and those that are demanding to be known

So I figure that's why I am testing differently than I tested consistently for the past 12 years.

Homberg-

No, it's not but it is surprising to me that I tested as an ENTJ as one of my several types.

About to turn 37, been doing the mid-life thwapped upside the head by a 2x4 thing for a couple of years now... I'm rather ready for the damn board to break, quite frankly.

(I might stop being an INFJ at some point [I doubt it], but I sure as hell didn't need a 23 year old straight out of college pop-psych degree'd blondie lecturing me on Jungian theory. )

I'd never done a Briggs-Myer test but all of you made me curious.

Apparently I am an INFJ but almost all my results were close to 50/50 (except for the N part, 68% intuitive). If I'm 57% Introverted (huh??) and 43% extroverted does that really make me an introvert? Seems like bullshit to me. As if we can all be quantified so easily. Please.

Rubbish.

 

[graceanne]

I'm an ESFJ. I don't recall what that means. I do recall thinking it was pretty right on.

I'm also a Pisces, which is really just fifty fifty for me.

I've always been very close to the line on E/I. A couple of times I've been 50/50. I just claim E because the times when it is not balanced I almost always land on the E side. I don't know that this makes me an extrovert though. I am pretty blatantly N and J, but only moderately T, interestingly enough.

I won the argument when she finally realized I was serious about quitting without notice if she forced the issue.

The best benefit from me is that it was my sister who had me take it in the first place. She is heavily extroverted and in my childhood she was always criticizing me for being so happy with hanging out in my own room alone reading or listening to music. It was sick and there was something wrong with me.

I thought that was silly because she was hanging out with me and criticizing me because she HATED being alone and would in fact bribe me to go to the movies with her.

Her nickname for me was "hamster" because in her eyes all I did was run around in my Habitrail all day. She'd get pissed because she would say "You're unbelievable! All we'd have to do is shove a pizza under your door and you'd be fine!" I'd say "I don't really need anybody to get me pizza."

Finally when the test told her exactly what it was about me that I'd been explaining for years, I stopped getting the lecture. If not the bribes.
