    Hm, I’ve never thought about that before! XD That’s a cool idea. But also… that is a really tough question. I… would probably end up being Gimli, I think. *Laughs*  I’d probably have to talk that over with my brother, though. He might have better input than I.

    Oh, don’t worry. My best friend is an ENFP, and I know the personality type better than most of the others. Those stereotypes are so messed up sometimes. XD

    *Smirk*  Yeah, I get that a lot. *Flips hair*  XD But to be honest, I believe _NTJs just enjoy fascinating the other types. We like going against the cultural norm.

    I play the piano… I’ve been playing for almost ten years now, I think. It’s fun. I’ve got some siblings that play the violin and my dad plays guitar. Oh, and my mom owns a cello. But she doesn’t have much time for it. A friend gave it to us last year and Mom’s always wanted to learn. XD It was really random.

    Family movies… Hm. That… would be a dream. My parents are sadly not into that sort of thing. We do a lot of skits and stuff at church… but my family thinks homemade films are weird for some reason. *Sigh*  Oh, well.

    So the thing is… T/F types aren’t based on which type thinks more and which type feels more. Everyone thinks, and everyone (unless you’re a psychopath) has emotion. XD It’s based on why you do the things you do. A Feeling type prefers to make decisions based on how they feel or how those around them feel, while a Thinking type prefers logic and what makes sense to accomplish the most and to be the most successful. A Thinking type isn’t going to be concerned that they may hurt another person’s feelings as much as a Feeling type will be.  (Not to say that Feeling types can’t be harsh or that Thinking types can’t be in tune to emotion… but they often prefer to think this way.)

    But I think where you’re possibly getting mixed up is actually the iNtuitive factor. The test said you are an ENFJ. (I’m not a huge fan of the tests though because it is incredibly easy to type yourself wrong and they’re normally based on stereotypes and actions instead of thought processes… but that’s beside the point) The iNtuitive types tend to be very analytical. They enjoy entertaining themselves with more abstract thoughts and prefer to be focused on what could be (as opposed to the Sensing types which focus on what is).  I’m not saying Sensing types aren’t great thinkers or analytical, but they prefer to focus on the world around them in the present rather than the world that could be. Which often shows itself as being less of a thinker, if that makes sense.

    But really, this is a very shallow definition of the types. If you’re suddenly interested in MBTI, I’d recommend reading more into the cognitive functions. *Shrug* But you don’t need to be, don’t worry. XD

     

    Wow… sorry for the long rambling post that doesn’t have anything to do with the actual topic here. XD Oh, well.

    Also, if you guys really don’t care about this stuff, please don’t get annoyed. Not that I really care, but it makes things a lot simpler and easier for me if you aren’t. XD So just go ahead and ignore all that up there^^^. XD
