Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional i or e, what's your type

The talk about personality type in underachiever thread got my interest piqued. They did this on SENG gifted awhile back. The funny thing was there were alot of INFPs which in the population in general is very rare.

I'm an INFP. Mite is an IFP (too young so far for n/s eval, but I'm thinking 'n'). Rite is ENFP. DH is ESTJ.

I'm INFJ. Have always come out the same since I first did this back in college (many, many years ago!). But now I notice that the I tends to be lower. I know I'm more E than I used to be! I don't know what my husband is, but I think I'll have him do it to see how we compare, although I already know we are quite different!

Oh, here's a link to the questionnaire for anyone who wants it:

I also took the MBPI in college and again approximately four years ago. In both cases I was very strongly NTP and borderline E-I. The first time, I was slightly on the E side and the last time, I was slightly on the I side. My husband is ESTJ.

I have a silly idea that not only would we find more NP here, we would also find a greater number of couples with less overlap. My husband and I don't share a single letter! although my T is quite close to the middle.

DH and I don't share a single letter either. I find it interesting the boys and I are NFPs, too.

Another INFP here! (Although my F is so close to the middle that it's almost a T.)

I don't recall offhand what DH is but I'm pretty sure he and I don't share a single letter either.

It's interesting a few of us have paired up with people who don't match us at all. I wonder why that is.

I am an INFP as well. I think it is interesting that there are so many saying that they are INxP, being on the border between F and T. I read somewhere that people who are gifted can take on either of these traits (the F or the T). Interesting...

That is interesting! I'll have to go back to my scores and see where I landed on the F/T scales.

It is interesting how many "I" folks there are on here, too.
