Current Girlfriend's Type?

For the longest time, I thought my girlfriend was INTP or ISTP, but the pattern remains true: The more I truly get to know someone, the harder it is for me to try and accurately "type" them. I've been with my current girlfriend for nearly a year, and I have been friends with her for 9 years, so it's unimaginably difficult for me to be sure on what type she is.

Here are a list of traits:
--MUST be entertained. Loathes lying around.

--Enjoys sports, and is fairly competitive with the ones she's good at. Loves to swim.

--Spends most of her time alone on a computer, but as soon as someone wants to do something, she doesn't hesitate to go. She loves doing these things with large groups of people.

--Doesn't like small talk. A simple "What's up" or "How are you?" isn't motivation for her to respond. However, asking her to do something later will motivate her to respond immediately, or as soon as possible.

--She is not afraid to tell me exactly what's on her mind. More than once, she has flat-out told me that my inclination to just want to lay around and talk is "boring." XD

--Extremely dedicated to plans she makes with people. "First come, first serve" is an adage she would gladly support.

--She is fairly spontaneous.

--Not a huge video game fan, but does enjoy Warcraft III (For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a real-time strategy game [RTS].) and WoW-type games (She doesn't want to pay the money in order to play it.).

--She loves building computers, but she hates looking up the parts she wants to buy. In fact, last month, she asked me to find all the parts she'd need for a good computer, but to leave most of the building to her when the parts get there.

I'm seeing the ISTP.

Introvert over Extrovert, as she likes doing things with large groups of people, and while that's normally an Extrovert thing (generally), I think her motivation for it is different. Loves chaotic action.

Sensor over Intuitive, I can't really back this one up, but as a whole of personality I see SP over NP.

Thinking over Feeling, she's an obvious Thinker.

Perceiving over Judging, this one is just functions for me, Ti Se seems far more likely than Si Te.


As you said, if she's not an ISTP, INTP, but I'd go with ISTP for now.

I'm thinking ISTP is more likely from that description - she seems Se over Ne from your description due to her seeming preference for physical hands on, sensory activities like sports and building, although it's not really much information I'm going off ...

I'd love to give you more information, but I don't want to just spew out random facts that aren't extremely relevant. Thanks for the guess, though! :)

If anyone would like more information, just say what kind of information you want and I'll update my OP. Thanks!

The descriptions all fit my ISTP brother. Also, an INTP friend made it a big point the me the other day about how he loathes mechanics, but my ISTP brother loves building. Btw, I think ENFPs and ISTPs do well together!
