I seem to oscillate between INTJ and INTP. Of course, this is based on internet quizzes rather than an actual evaluation by a trained psychologist so not necessarily reliable.
I answered INTJ since I get that result more frequently.

ENFP me, apparently.
Interestingly that website spells extrovert as extravert which isn't a typo - the two spellings represent different concepts, because there are two different models of extroversion and introversion in psychology. I used to be an avid reader of the psychologist Dorothy Rowe. She says that an extrovert in popular psychology is gregarious, and extravert in Jungian psychology or neurology is someone who depends on their external reality - a slightly different concept.

And here comes a psychologist :tongue:
And no it actually is not all BS, this test really can tell you a lot about yourself. Though it is annoying to me because more than half the time on the M-B test, I want to not choose but pick BOTH, it actually came up with really accurate results.
I am an ENFP or Advocate sometimes called Campaigner
However I am actually an ambivert. I can recharge either in a group setting or alone/with one other person reading a good book. My scores on the Extrovert/Introvert questions are almost even with a slightly higher E than I
I also score almost perfectly even on the Thinking/Feeling leg of the test. With F being just a bit higher than T.
On the Intuitive/Sensing leg I am extremely N (Intuitive).
On the J/P I am fairly solidly Perceiving.
Which explains why so many questions drove me nuts wanting to say BOTH having two legs so close to identical is rather unusual.
It means I am very close to being an ENTP, (Debater) an INFP, (Mediator) and an INTP (Logician) as well as ENFP.

You scored 3 on the Curmudgeon-o-meter!
That means you occasionally have a niggle. Not only are you far from being a true curmudgeon you hardly reach the status of a sour puss.
Have you tried dwelling on the everyday cruelties that life has inflicted on you? What about the mundane idiocy of day to day life? Think about it - the fire may come, but most have written you off for curmudgeon kind.
You are just too nice. Yuk!

Lol Jiffy! People are going to have kids. Not all of us have a strong biological urge to have children, but some have it so strongly that they'll endure costly and painful treatments in order to resolve fertility problems. And you're naïve if you think birth control is foolproof. The options all have flaws and so do the users. Think of all the dumb things you've done in the past seven or eight years.

And you're naïve if you think birth control is foolproof. The options all have flaws and so do the users. Think of all the dumb things you've done in the past seven or eight years. Now consider you were a girl/woman over that time.
1) If you make a poor decision then you should live with the consequences, not whine about it on the internet.
2) That's why we have multiple forms of birth control, for both men and women. Also other options if those controls fail. You don't have a child in this day and age unless you knowingly and intentfully have a child

You really are naïve. Birth control and abortion aren't so cut and dried, certainly not as simple and accessible as you seem to think.
That aside, yeah, probably most parents with children wanted children, and some of them weren't super intelligent about it or perfectly prepared and it's tougher than they expected. They're still allowed to complain about it on the internet, why the hell not? They have to vent somewhere.

Back in the past before people became properly insane, if you went for a job interview you would have an in depth talk with the person you would be working for or the department head or some such. This person had worked in the field for a considerable length of time and knew all about it and what the requisite skill sets and attitudes were. That person was likely a bit older with plenty of life experience and good reliable intuitions about people and how particular personalities were likely to fit into the existing structures and teams.
That was in the days before someone invented a handy way to deskill the interview process. Now what happens is some gormless twenty something year old in Human Resources who managed to scrape through a two week bullshit course is employing things like dopey Myers–Briggs methodology to select people who are both older and vastly more qualified and experienced than they themselves for jobs about which they know the square root of fuck all.

But yes I too get annoyed at seeing people who are not psychologists use tools from psychology without more than a couple of weeks training or maybe ONE friggin psych course.
Try taking a Major in Psych and finishing all but Stats and Experimental Psych.
Try having a concentration in Exceptional Child and Youth which is a grand total of 3 courses about special ed and all the rest is Psych courses.
Try running seminars for the mental health dept. *unpaid but still
Try being in educational courses which are usually more than half psych based.
And even I do not feel like I know everything about Psychology.
someone with ONE class or a 2 week training yeah I don't think so...

I would have had a double degree including Psych had I found a tutor for the algebra part of the Statistics course. But none of the math tutors wanted anything to do with Stats they acted like it was the well red headed stepchild of math.
Took the class THREE times and finally said f it and settled for a minor even though I have more courses than most Psych majors with both a BA and a MA

Was for my dad too. He started out in anthropology went all the way up to candidacy for PhD in it. Then the field dried up and he had trouble getting the funding he needed to do his field work in New Guinea.
So he went back to school got a second Bachelor this time in Computer Science with a double minor in math and physics. Was a double major with the math, but had to hurry up graduation and get a job since that was about the time his 2nd wife left him to marry another guy. They were still good friend just like he was with my mom. He actually did the photography for both of his ex wives 2nd weddings.
I always thought it suited him better than anthro since my dad made most introverts look extroverted. I encouraged him to do his diving trips and his shooting league so he would get some social interaction besides sitting in front of a computer screen at work writing code, and being at home alone with his cat. It was more so then because he was not online and never really did much with online other than a couple gun forums, but not anything like we all do socially online.

We have to navigate through a million "oughts" in life. Many decision points come with an "ought": I ought to do this, I ought not to do that.
After a decision is made and acted upon, we can put these same judgements in the past tense. I ought not to have done this, I ought to have done that instead.
Nothing wrong with making such judgements as a purely academic matter. But there's something unhelpful about dwelling on them. What's done is done, so where do I go now? That's usually a better question than "what should I have done differently?".
And when the "ought to have done differently" judgement touches on reproduction, well, those thoughts can be much worse than unhelpful. They can be completely toxic. Even when they're true.
Consider: You're dealing with a poor, struggling person who happens to be a parent. The existence of the child contributes hugely to their stress. You can make a really good case for the claim that they shouldn't have reproduced. But to say that they shouldn't have reproduced is to say that the kid shouldn't exist. What happens if the parent really takes that message to heart? Mightn't it poison the relationship between the parent and the kid?
Bringing up a child isn't easy at the best of times. (Well, maybe it is easy for some people. Good for them.) But doing so when the child's very existence comes with an "ought not" attached?
I'm not doing a very good job of articulating my thoughts here. I should come back to it later.

Kids are not a possibility for me
I am spayed
when i was younger i always wanted to adopt considering i have a genetic disease where 3/5th of my children would get it
idk what id do now though i still have like 10 years to think about it though
They can do things about this now, screen the embryo's etc.

Inside can be a good thing, especially when it is 95 F and there is a thunderstorm with a ton of rain out your door.

A ton of rain in that heat sounds wonderful, like swimming without a body of water. Just stay away from tall things.

Actually it feels like being trapped 24/7 in a sauna
give me 105 in 20% humidity yes.... I will never complain about the heat in the Central Valley of California ever again.

Here, it's about 22oC today (or about 72oF). Just the way a summer day ought to be. :)
(Actually, it would be perfect if the humidity were a bit lower. But I'm not complaining.)

I am not a Yank I am a Californian :P
Well around here they are usually very hot, filled with tons of steam to basically clear out your pores and such. However, you are not supposed to live in a sauna 24/7.
I am running my AC 24/7 at 80 and hoping I get enough client work to cover the electric bill. I want to drop it lower than 80 but just can't justify the cost atm.

I grew up in Oakdale, CA near Modesto I LOVE the Bay Area.
Believe me though 105 with 20% humidity is NOTHING compared to 95 and like 90 or higher % humidity.

It is wonderful to live there Jiffy I loved it during those 3 years in San Jose. I would live there again in a heartbeat even if it did mean giving up my goal to own a house uggh homes in the Bay Area are outrageous.

I fell in love with SF when I was little. It broke my heart when my granpa Joe ended up having to sell his Great Aunt Sophie's house out on Wawona St. Right by the Irish Cultural Center, the beach, the zoo, and a nice lil Greek restaurant that was the original place they sold the Its It ice cream bars.

Yeah it was a small 2 br Victorian house with a tiny terraced backyard to deal with the hill issue.
I started going to SF when I was 2 to see my eye doc. He used to say he saw me since I was small enough to fit in a shoebox lol. I wrote a blog post about it. My mom when she was in high school, joined the Episcopalian church and her godfather was like 2 grades ahead of her in school. He went to SF not long after he graduated and started work as a dishwasher and eventually worked his way up to the Maitre D' of one of the fancier restaurants at the wharf (Aliotos) IIRC. Many a time he paid for a meal for my mom and I and served us himself. He treated me like I was a little princess, and thought I was totally adorable. Sometimes we stayed with Bill, sometimes not. I got to meet most of his serious bfs over the years as well.
I still miss him.
