The reason why I am an INTJ Histrionic!

Because I always knew god wanted to put me in charge of people and they are crazy sensing feeling critters that don't think and don't understand words but only understand actions! and that's how histrionics talk, with our actions! because you don't understand our words! and because no one thinks about the big picture!

.... sorry, just venting about my social (wishing it was romantic) personal life for a minute. love you all much. :) and seriously thoughts and comments really actually are welcome. I'm discovering this social function really is important but I have no clue to it's understanding.

HPD aside, one of the weaknesses of us INTJs is the difficulty in conveying to others all the fabulous big pictures we have skillfully assembled in our master-minds. It is common for us to claim that it's not our problem others don't understand or see them with such clarity.

Apparently unlike what I think you are describing in your own experience, my thoughts and actions and words are very consistent with one another. The more serious problems I encounter can often be attributed to others' Cognitive Distortions (common with PDers) of my thoughts and actions and words to warp them into something else.

Outside of CDs, I have to be very deliberate with Sensers to connect the dots to follow my thoughts->words->actions. Diagrams and algorithms help with this, so I carry around a large whiteboard with multiple colored markers when in public.

Well labor, although we share the same traits, I will say this that I am an ENFP.

I guess when I first found out about HPD that it could be what I used to do and some what Im trying to over come I thought well that explains my ENFP, but really the MB test along with the Color Spectrum True Colors, only defines a different part of who I am. Its the me that has been me before I knew it, before HPD, so I don't feel there is a negative(totally) analysis.

So while you are INTJ, that isn't all a bad thing. Look for the positive also within yourself labor. You have good traits in there too, but you just have to dig a little deeper to pull those out over the not so good ones.

Best.Visual.Ever.

I can picture it now.. this really hot looking guy dressed to the nines in his flannel and black rimmed glasses, pulling along a white board on a rope... little markers dangling at it's sides down the busy, metropolitan streets.

I love it, RC. 8)

I love this forum, there are so many smart, intelligent people with broad experiences on it who can relate, advise and empathize. I seriously love this forum. Omgosh between this thread and like the 30 other social projects I have actively running in my head Ill have to come back to this one too in a few days after I have had enough time to comment.
