Myers-Briggs and the Jungian cognitive functions do not define one's capacity (and desire) for kindness, good will, loyalty, forgiveness, etc. Neither does introversion or extraversion. If they did, some of us might as well embrace our inner villain.
"...true extraverted intuition is possessed of a singular resourcefulness, a good nose for objectively real possibilities, this archaicized intuition has an amazing flair for all the ambiguous, shadowy, sordid, dangerous possibilities lurking in the background." - Carl Jung
@wahalaforever lol, that also sounds similar to me. I sometimes use notebooks to parse my thoughts on something I'm working on, and then never return to them again.
I hate journalling. The few times I've tried always fail miserably because if I write anything beyond detached observation that makes my "historical record" more personal, I shortly thereafter want to burn it all.
"The intuitive function is represented in consciousness by an attitude of expectancy, by vision and penetration; but only from the subsequent result can it be established how much of what was βseenβ was actually in the object, and how much was read into it." - Psychological Types
Sometimes when people mention something I said or thought even just a few months back, I want to be like "Yeah, that was two-months-ago me. Current me is much more highly evolved and disagrees adamantly with my former self."
"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin
@SusanStorm984 From what I've seen, TJs have a default "fix it" instinct, which matches what you're saying. I'm married to an ISTJ. To be fair, we both suck at emotional expression, but I'm not that quick to go into a "fix it" mode for other people.
When you wake up at 4am with a head full of thoughts, mentally writing the next section of an article you've been working on. And you can't silence it all and go back to sleep until you dump it all into a note on your phone.
