Very interesting topic!!! I may or may not have read the entire conversation post by post. (I get notifications anytime someone says something on this forum XD)

I did wanna say a few things if I may.

Clears throat* A  passion job for one is a really loose and broad description. Doctors and even accountants can be very passionate about their work. I, for example, want to teach, and I’m very passionate about it!! It would not create a huge income for me and yeah there would be a lot of down days. I’ve heard many teachers say their job is one of the most gratifying and hard jobs cause you tend to judge yourselves on the kids’ progress and such.   I also want to write though and I would happily do that for a living if I could but I picked another  job that I’m passionate about and would provide a steady if not huge income and if my writing ever takes off So be it but if it never does I’ll have a steady job and an awesome hobby!! Which if I do say so myself is hugely therapeutic and relaxing. Even when I’m not really “inspired.” and as far as taking a passion job. I hope Pastors Missionaries and so on are at least as passionate as an actor.

The question is not really whether it’s a passion job but can I make a steady income or is this where God called me. As @ashira well stated God can call us to all sorts of things to make a difference and they may not be conventional or common at all!   @ashira also doing something like that for a set amount of time to search it out is a really great idea and something I would highly recommend anyone do no matter their career path. Also James 1:5 which I’ll attach at the bottom. Not to say you lack wisdom but it is so important to always be checking our hearts and seeking God in everything we do every moment.

as far as personality types not saying it really matters but most tests ask the same question a bunch of different ways. I was doing the personality hackers with my mom the other day and it was interesting she how hesitant she got an answer a question when I asked it to her for the third time. I kinda have a theory that they may be testing how truthful you are and if you are truly ready to admit stuff about yourself. Which would tell you a lot about someone’s personality?

back to our personality conversation.

Why J’s annoy me. *Most of the ones I know kinda think they are better than other people and most frustratingly don’t think there is more than one side to stuff.  I had an argument with one of my friends (who I’m 90%  is a J) about if someone should be pulled over every time for driving 1 mile over the speed limit. Now you may see this differently but speed limits you are supposed to drive at but theirs also supposed to be a five-mile variance on either side. Plus speedometers aren’t always perfect or even working.XD (I’m not defending that) and the person could have an emergency. Not to say I don’t like them at all because I get along really well with my INFJ friends and don’t seem to run into those problems. But on the upside, I love how organized they are. My sister in law is an INFJ and her house always looks amazing! And my dad keeps us semi-organized and on time which is something a lot of big families have a lot of trouble with.

Yes, friends are a necessity!!! Actually, I love a challenge and stepping a little out of my comfort zone to start a conversation and make friends is my comfort zone. but I don’t naturally want to go say high to complete strangers like some people. My mom is like that though.  

do I base my identity off of my friends?  I guess probably a little more than I’d like. Though I don’t feel that I’m necessarily like them really. If my parents are upset about for something or I feel like got someone really upset(and they have a right to be) I can get pretty down on myself. But like Ashira said it’s really mostly with the people I’m close too. One of my ENFP friends makes me feel more like myself than anybody else. It’s weird but amazing!!

Ok as far as guys and types that seem shallow not saying their the same. I’ve always loved hanging out with guys and just having them as a friend. I wanted to be friends with more guys when I was little but they didn’t really want me to be in their group in my experience. I  have five brothers though and I’m pretty close to all of them except for I’m not as close to the one that moved out when I was around 8. A lot of girls are disgusted and confused by guys but I guess after living with them my whole life and being who I am I just love the way they are. Though at times I do think it is kinda stupid. Interestingly enough though I was never one of those girls who had crush after crush I just think too logically for that to work and I don’t know I didn’t wanna ruin the awesome friend relationship I had with guys. Most of the ENTP’s I know are guys and I love debating stuff with them and they are usually ready to deep fast which is amazing. Plus most guys I know find it a lot easier to be honest with me and they understand respect better which is super important to me. Also, I love being active and I guys actually like doing a lot more active stuff than a lot of my girlfriends. Plus as a P I love exploring every different perspective and since guys think a little differently it intrigues me…

“Shallow seeming personalities” like you said… Breakthrough the outer layer everyone has something beneath their front. No matter how hard they try and hide it or act like they don’t. I’ve always loved doing that and wanted to do it with everybody especially the really withdrawn people. I wanted to be a psychologist for ages and still wouldn’t mind it if it weren’t for the math I don’t think I could get through, and the years and years of college…

Ok, what you said about INTJ’s was both what I meant and informative.You are actually broadening my INTJ knowledge quite a bit by just talking to me.
