Introduction threads aren't a talent of mine [INTP female]

**autumnalone** · 03-02-2010 05:08 PM

I've only just gotten into MBTI, but it's consumed my life for the past few days; I have to know everything about it, and about myself. This is probably spurred by the fact that I'm currently a second-semester junior at an all-girls prep school, and the college process is beginning. The first step of it, say our college counselors, is self-assessment.

Which eventually led me to MBTI, with the nudging from a few friends. I didn't really know what it meant to be INTP at first-- all I knew is that I tested INTP several times [95 I/86 N/74 T/100 P] and that the descriptions sound eerily familiar... At first, I was a bit baffled by how scarily accurate this all was-- then I was proud to be what seemed like a rare type-- and then I was utterly depressed by what seemed to be my inevitable estrangement from the rest of the world. On a side note, my Enneagram is 4.

Anyway, you certainly don't care about any of that! I hope I didn't come across too horribly...

In any case-- My name's Meredith "in real life." You can call me Meredith, or you can call me Autumn-- that's what I go by online. I fill my time with piano lessons, softball (the only team sport I enjoy), guitar lessons, animation classes, multimedia art classes, peer tutoring, studying for the SAT, researching college, and... the computer! I'm 17, I love birds, and I'm at a stage in my life in which I'm very confused about myself.

So I joined personalitycafe at the suggestion of a friend, and... Here I am! I hope I can stick around here; it looks like a really great place.

hi there, I always feel like I'm back in grade school when I think about introductions, where you have to stand up, say your name and talk about yourself...

But it's good here, you get a feeling for who's who and it's a good way to become familiar with others. I think you'll enjoy PC, there is a lot of good people who are willing to help you should you have questions, and besides the occasional hot topic debate I try to stir up it's a relatively calm and relaxed atmosphere.

either way have fun learning all about the MBTI and getting to know more about yourself and other factors of personality typing

Hello! Huggs!

I loved learning about personality types as well as left brain right brain thinking because it helped me learn more about myself...it helped become more sure of myself and more loving of my personality...that's a good thing, I'm not cocky, but I know my strrenghts as well as my weaknesses and I can accept them all...I have the most confidence I've ever had!

Welcome to the forum - please enjoy your stay. Your introduction is fine enough.

**autumnalone** · 03-02-2010 06:38 PM

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! C: Admittedly I was a little bit uneasy about how I would be received... but you all seem like a friendly bunch.

Now, it's just a matter of finding somewhere to post... Time to lean into my discomfort.
