This post is a draft translation from the Chinese version which have not yet been thoroughly proofread.

When I take the MBTI test privately, my results consistently fall between INTP and INFP (50-something % of T). However, I don’t know why everyone around me describes me as an INFP.

Since I’m not a typical T or F, some statements that might apply to typical T or F people don’t entirely apply to me. Sometimes I might lean towards F, and sometimes I might lean towards T.

I recently attended a workshop discussing MBTI, where it was mentioned that NF people need to “experience God in suffering”¹ and are very interested in “expanding their business beyond a certain area”, which I’m not very keen on. The workshop also mentioned suitable gifts for different personality types:

• ST: Gifts with practical value, such as cash.
• SF: A gift that shows thoughtfulness and care.
• NF: A “meaningful” gift, which does the job by giving some random trash and then make up a touching story about it.
• NT: Novel and creative gifts.

I’m not very keen on those gifts or NF, and I’d actually prefer gifts for NT or even ST. I even think gifts for NF are a bit ridiculous.

Like Wiwi said, isn’t it quite good to stick in the midpoint between T and F?

By the way, the seating arrangement² in that workshop virtually made that all I-people have to seat closer in the front, it was truly hellish.
