Curiously, the subject line got truncated after the first space.
Anyway, further consideration has led me to doubt what I wrote yesterday.
Starting with the things I'm certain of, which is that I'm an introvert
and a thinking type who introverts sensing, the only two possibilities for
my Myers-Briggs type are ISTJ and INTP. Besides S vs N and J vs P, there
are two other basic differences between these types. ISTJs introvert
feeling and extravert thinking, while INTPs introvert thinking and
extravert feeling. That is one difference. The other is that ISTJs are of
the SJ temperament while INTPs are of the NT temperament. I was initially
led to the ISTJ hypothesis by the idea that I may introvert feeling and
extravert thinking rather than the reverse. But on rereading about
temperaments, the NT temperament seems to fit me best. If I'm an NT, I
can't be an ISTJ. Therefore, I may be working with a flawed understanding
of introverted vs. extraverted forms of thinking and feeling. As I study
the matter more, I may follow up on this on my website or blog.
