ISFJ Guardian Protector

I've consistently come up with that for years now.

"ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life."

I bounce between ENTJ and INTJ depending on my mood.

I took one of those tests about a year ago i think.. it said i was INFP.
Thinking it was probably very much related to the moment of testing, i retook the same test 3 months later.. again INFP.

And there i was thinking myself to be an INTP (which was why i retook the test) so i looked up a different test and took it. INFP again.

I guess i really need to figure myself out a bit better before i can make sense of how this relates to me being dominant.

I am an INTJ. I am dominant.

I have been told that I tend to the mad scientist version of dominating, and to really nasty headgames. I have to watch doing mindfucks, actually, because I'm good enough at reading people that I can get deeper into them than they are at all comfortable with in play. I tend to say, "Hmm, interesting noise made when I do X. What happens when I do Y? What if I do both X and Y?"

I am VERY J. I hate indecision. I hate not knowing. In one of the Goddess's little jokes, I therefore fell in love with and married a man who is INFP. It has worked for fifteen years, however. I put foundations and implementation plans underneath the ideas he dreams up.

I'm an INFP. I've taken this test multiple times, most of the time coming up INFP but occasionally I come up as INTP.
On the Enneagram I'm a type 4- the Individual- introspective, romantic type, self-aware, sensitive, and reserved, emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. --Yep sounds a lot like me.
I scored almost as high as type 6 and type 9-- the Loyalist and Peacemaker I do tend to champion others causes but prefer a peaceful existence for everyone.

Not only do the I's greatly outnumber the E's (most people here "energize" quietly); but the J's vastly overwhelm the P's.

I too am ExxP, but, most here (who post, by a huge margin) seem to be IxxJs.

That means most (who post) expect the world to act the way they prefer ... while you and I expect and feel most comfortable when the world does whatever it pleases. Interesting. Very interesting.

Apparently I am an ISFJ.

You are:

moderately expressed introvert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality

Just took the test again after almost three years from my initial post in this thread. Came up with ISFP again.

INTJ here and it can be a real b*** sometimes to reconcile the two people in here. Mind you, there's always company!

Add another INTJ to the list. Supposedly less than one percent of the population, but it certainly seems overrepresented here. Interesting, whatever it means.
FWIW, I'm a former scientist, now in an administrative leadership position of sorts. I've dommed in the past, but that was when I was young and that's what all my gfs wanted. Now I'm more the cliche: alpha male at work looking for release as a sub at play.

INTJ submissive here... :)

It fascinates me that, overwhelmingly, so many kinksters who posted in this forum are INTJs (which is the exact opposite of my ESTP). INTJs apparently comprise one of the smallest percentages of personality types in the USA (see this chart) ... while ESTPs occur only about twice as often as INTJs in the general US population.

For most of the posters here, the rare INTJ, the inner N & T shows how most people who posted here tend to gather data and make decisions, what interests me most are the outside I & J values, which show how most in this thread energize and prefer their world to be around them (I's tend to need time out to reflect in order to rebuild energy and Js like to "have matters settled.").

By way of contrast, E's tend to act first, think later (they draw energy from action: they act, then reflect, then act further). Since I'm a very strong E, I tend to act w/o thinking and then think about the act (ESTPs are called "The Doer".) It always amazed me that other folks contemplated jumping across the water before doing it! I jump first, and then think about whether I should have done it or not based on how wet I get my feet.

Most interesting of all is that I would expect this group of posters to be strong Ps (which is what I am). Ps The difference is that P's tend to prefer to leave decisions open in total contrast to Js who lean toward having matters settled.

Note: All INTJ & ESTP type statements in this post are consistent with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator

I haven't read the whole thread, here.... but consider that "CM forum posters" probably differ in significant ways from the general population. We *write* to start with.... and spend variable amounts of time with our computers, and so on. I can see where I vs. E, at least, would be overrepresented?

An exception here then I guess, I'm an ENTP slave.
I'm also surprised that so many here lean towards the J instead of the P side of things, I would have expected the complete opposite from kinksters.

Isn't that amazing. If you had asked me to bet, I would have put it all on "P"s being here and not "J"s at all. It doesn't seem to make sense because Js like the world to act in a certain orderly way while Ps tend to prefer the world to do whatever it likes.

Maybe I don't understand the 'J's well enough though ... (as I'm a P).

I am an INFP. We're supposed to be 1% of the population. I don't know if there is a correlation. But then, correlation does not equal causation.

I'm an INTP.

I got an email from a guy on here when I began telling me his theory on the relationship between the MBTI and D/S. It's supposed to be that you seek your opposite- for example mine the INTP would be the ESFJ... I forget the rest of his writeup...
