If a 200 question-aire gets you pseudoscience, so does 3 anecdotes and an armchair psychologist.

Mbti has limitations, but is great if you actually know how it works and don't do pop tests online.
I'm INTP, very strongly.

Also, I'm not guessing. I'm categorizing based on over a decade of work in this field.
Personality types are a large part of my research.
Here is a breakdown of the MBTI as it relates to the DSM:

There is no "right" or "wrong" in this work. Only more or less effective categorization.
Aella Girl's categorization is not effective in helping her understand herself well. Which is why she's more confused about why she thinks and feels the way she does than is necessary.

No, I'm definitely INTP? Assuming you think I'm self classifying wrong; I've read a few books on it as well as some Jung. I know the goal-orientedness I described is not very INTP, which is partially why it's weird; the rest of me is extremely flexible/relaxed.

From what I've seen, you're heavily on the ASD area of brain types.
That's Sensing. Specifically, Introvert Sensing. A focus on the material objects of life and the delicious details of everything around you.
But that's because other humans' emotions are non-intuitive to you.

no? I'm chronically oblivious to my environment. I'm typically messy, people have been shocked by how much i simply 'don't see' objects. Or for more classic Si, I also have a terrible memory, am totally uninterested in tradition, and have very sloppy internal fact categorization

I "don't taste my food" because im too distracted when eating, I don't hear people talking to me if I'm reading, I lived in a blank box of an apartment with one couch and no art up until the point I took LSD because I was so deeply unaware of my physical environment

but also external sensory details are more classically Se than Si so idk why you said I'm Si but then described me being Se
you said introvert sensing first! I was using the term you referenced.
Ok im done with this conversation, it's annoying bait, i'm muting you
