Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Advice on what to tell DS4 before he takes IQ test

Ha - our house is an absolute diasaster right now! And I definitely spend way too much time here. Maybe we need a 12 step program?

DH says he prefers me sane to having a clean house


ETA: He's seen me when I'm not sane and it wasn't pretty...

I wish my DH would see it this way! He assumes I just play all day with DS4. Well, maybe i do sometimes...

[On a sort of related note, since we're having DS4 tested, we were asked what our myers-briggs results were. I recently pulled out both our M-B tests. Mine (ENTP) indicated I can't be bothered doing completely mundane stuff like cleaning, his (INTP) indicates he cannot stand it if things aren't orderly. I made sure to point out that the report on his personality said INTPs are extremely difficult to be in a relationship with, but that's another matter, eh?]

FWIW, I'm an INTJ, which means I'm cold and business-like. LOL!

DH has never done Myers-Briggs, but I would guess he's an INTJ. We joke that the secret to our marriage is that we leave each other alone. We both need our alone time.

INTJ here. I was relieved when I read the profile. It was so me. Finally a box for me Dh is INTJ too, but not as strong as I. If I could make a guess so is DS5, but it's too early to tell.

LMom and Dottie--So nice to have fellow INTJ's around!

My info says INTPs "are not likely to welcome constant social activity or disorganization in the home."

LOL!

I think that must be why DD6 and I clash so much. She's more of a free spirit type who doesn't like schedules. It's frustrating.

DD9 is like me--a list maker and a schedule follower. DS2 likes order also. He lines up his cars by color when he's playing with them.

INTJ here! I just took an online test to find out
