What you see on the forums is nothing compared to what happens on the mod side.
I bet. I gather it's somewhat similar to what happens on the admin/mod side of facebook groups. What's said in public is not a reflection behind mod doors lol. That said, I'm absolutely an A [hole]
I am introvert but I'm an incredibly thick skinned introvert. You don't have a life like I've had and survive, even minimally, without it.3 -

Yes, but you're a reliable weirdo by the sounds of the profile lol.

Aaaaand seeing Lyle submit to being dominated and spoon fed whey protein completely ends my internet searching for the day lmao
Speaking of which, is it the whey protein in protein drinks that makes them filling @anubis609? After your info about protein, I stole one of my husband's protein drinks to try and I could only drink half at once. I was trying to work out why from the ingredient's list.0 -

I'm going to assume it's the protein full stop. I use pea protein (because otherwise all my protein other than the tiny bit in veggies would come from dairy), and find it satiating. Though I do make my shakes with milk.2 -

Indeed, it is. Protein as a macro is the most satiating of all, and whey protein can definitely be filling. It's even been studied: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27809945
From personal observation, women may find it more satiating than men, due to the fact that women consume less protein on average, and so a bolus ingestion of whey might feel heavy, however it is a good source to supplement if one is short on protein for the day.1 -

I'm reliably unreliable I am an introvert most certainly, I only leave the house if i HAVE too. My only friends are my family and hubby, but that's my choice and I'm happy with it. People just annoy me... I just like being by myself. 1 -

Me? I'm totally a T!
Oh, wait, I'm a T. Absolutely, definitely, definitively a T. I was thinking the A was for analytical. Though, I have learned not to push myself too hard. My entire life is structured in a way to minimise anxiety.
Okay. I was worried there for a minute.
Total T here too.
In some respects I have a thick skin, but in others? Nope.2 -

Thanks for that and the link. Interesting. I hadn't had one before and found it was amazingly filling. Now that I know, I will keep them as a stand-by.2 -

Back to vaguely thread-related stuff -
NSV - gave my tee shirt drawer a much needed organise last night, and discovered that two of my concert tees that are smaller than a normal small fit again, huzzah!!
And finally felt like I got a decent workout with Strong Curves this morning, combo of increased resistance on some things and just mastering some of them I think. Borne out by my Fitbit, which gave me over twice the calorie burn I've had previously for Workout A.
I'm also kitten hungry today, but loads of cals to play with.3 -
Well, I took it twice and both time ended up with Virtuoso ISTP.
Once -T and once -A.
I now don't know if I am more confused or less confused

I like puppies too, but I get my fix of them on river walks. Always loads of puppies to say hi to 2

I always say my husband is part puppy. He's furry and super friendly. He's extremely extroverted, talks to everyone, makes instant lifelong friends. I'm extremely introverted and prone to anxiety so I talk to few people awkwardly. Opposites attract, right?

Another INFP Mediator here! 86% introvert. And I have a pessimistic streak too. Like you, I had a very difficult time answering some of the questions. For instance, how I relate to people at work is very different than how I relate at a party or with my children. And what I want to be - my ideals - are sometimes very different than what I actually do. I can think a lot about organizing, for example, but still remain unorganized. And I'm a meticulous planner, but like to keep many options open. Hmm. So yes, some questions were hard to answer. Others were easy, and I found myself passionately clicking "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree".
Some questions were brutally hard to be honest with, like the one "Do you feel superior to others?" My natural inclination was to say disagree, but when I started down the list of my family, friends and acquaintances, I had to admit that I had a bit of a superiority complex. Ouch!
The test results seemed pretty accurate, with a few exceptions. Mediators are known to be very active in supporting causes. I'm not. But that could be because my job is a bit like a cause. And maybe my participation in this thread is slightly like a cause.
Even though the Mediator description doesn't completely fit me, very much of it does and it was eye opening to say the least. I've always felt misunderstood and a bit like an oddball, though I try to conceal that I feel that way. Seeing a description of me in print was both eerie and comforting. I was amazed that someone finally understood me, even though I've tried to hide myself away for so long. I was definitely intrigued that there may be others like me out there. So hello fellow INFP!!
It's funny - I've taken that test 4 times now, tweaking some answers, trying to think through an answer instead of going with my knee-jerk reaction - and every single time, I get INFP-T. I just don't see it! I'm a planner, not a fly-by-the-seat-of-my pants kind of person, and while I do care about what people think and don't want to hurt people's feelings, I also hate to lie. When it comes to planning, this is why I can never write a story - I have to have an outline in place, and my problem is I have so much trouble projecting myself into a character that I can't come up with actual scenarios. I can come up with great back stories written like a history book, but forget actually writing out the scene in action or dialogue. An actress I most certainly am not! And I usually get lost in the details, anyway - I have more fun figuring out the most mundane things than every actually plodding through a story - must to my friends' utter frustration. One friend hates to take the time to plot - she just wants to let the story go where the emotion takes her; I HATE that kind of story telling!
I think creating worlds and maps and covering details like climate and culture and history and even figuring out a logically plausible population size and getting the science to work right (okay, sot he world has 2 moons instead of one; where would the logical place be for that moon and what would be the logical size?) Or creating con-languages. If there's magic in the world, that's fine - but what are the rules that bound it?
See? I still highly doubt I'm INFP. *laughs* Of course, now you know that I"m just plain weird......
I took the test twice. Second time I really pondered the questions. It still came out INFP -T and all the percentages were similar to my first test except for Judging/Prospecting which was 42/58 the first time and 26/74 the second time. I wish there was a way to see which questions determined the split on Tactics. It seems I need to ponder those questions more, or ask someone close to me for insight. It's so hard to see yourself sometimes because how you are seems normal to you. My daughter definitely thinks I should have scored high on Judging! My poor kids - I'm always trying to improve them. But isn't that what moms are supposed to do?
Like you, I'm a planner, and the planning helps ease my anxiety about all the possible things that could go wrong. But I like to break out of the plan sometimes on a whim. I get bursts of creativity and enlightenment and abandon the dull old plan for a new shiny one. The thought of following a plan till its completion actually seems foreign to me. (Hence, dieting turbulence!)
I'm not inclined to tell stories and have no interest in being an author, but when pressed I can come up with good story ideas. That came in handy as a teenager trying to get away with things! I even convinced myself that those stories helped my parents by sparing them the anxiety of knowing what was really going on!
I'm also not an actress, but I suppose in my job as a musician, I do dip into acting - in the sense that actors have to come from a place of authenticity to be effective. The expression has to come from your soul and doesn't feel like pretending at all. So if that's acting, then yes, I'm an actor.
That's interesting that your imagination gravitates towards creating a setting and all its details rather than character development and plot. That's really cool. I don't think that your attention to detail is at all weird, even in a fantasy world. I'm always pointing out inconsistencies in shows and movies because not enough attention was placed on the details. It irritates my family when I point it out.
Did some of the INFP description ring true for you?0 -
ZOMG, just under 2600 cals of food in my belly today. I think I've mentioned before that usually in maintenance I just wing it, and don't log. It's kind of eye opening realising just how much I do need to eat on active days (and all I did was strength train, walk to and from work, and to the supermarket after dinner because I refuse to drive the 3 km there and back on a beautiful evening). I suspect last year there was enough really high cal stuff at least once or twice a week to balance out, because I certainly don't remember eating this much every day. I did at least do a decent job of getting plenty in during the day so I didn't have a massive amount left for the evening (still got to have a mega shake though) 6

There was a very interesting follow up book I read years ago to the M-B book/test.
It dealt with how most people indeed have a certain nature to them, but as they age, some of the personality types start expressing some of the opposite characteristics. Only some, not all.
And even when I read it probably 15 yrs ago, I indeed saw some of that happening.
I'm sure I've still got the book in storage. Right along with the procrastination book I got from the book club because I put off saying no to that auto-shipment. Ask me if I read that one yet!
I'd like to review it, see if some of the other aspects came about.
Also to remind myself what type, I'm sure I've got some review from past job, but that box is buried.
Just took it, and remembered what it was, and is now.
ISFJ-A
Used to barely tip balance over to ISTJ, there was no A or T back then.3 -
Just wanted to pop in and say I approve of puppies as well as kittens. I am such an introvert that when I'm out on runs I tend to smile first at the dogs, then at the owners.6

Delurking because of MB.
I got ENTP-A/T (pretty even, 51% A). The "debater."
E/I are reasonably close too (60/40) and in the past I occasionally got INTP. In fact, when I first took it I was a strong INTP (strong on all 4), and as I got older I tip more to ENTP -- I think I have some markers of I (specifically the classic "need to recharge alone to refresh energy, find interacting in social situations depletes energy" even though I also find that way of spending energy fun and get into it while it's happening), but other markers of E, and so usually have a mixed result. When I was younger I was more shy (which is a separate thing from being an I) and so would score differently.
On the other 3 measures, I'm a super strong N and have stayed that way. I started super strong T and P but see myself moving toward the center on those as I get older too.3 -
Sodium *sucks*. That is all.
(A craft beer event last night. Up another pound this morning. Then I looked at the sodium from yesterday. 4200 mg... OMG no wonder.)3 -
