  Thanks for the interesting podcast. I am an INTP female married to an INFP male. We have many challenges in our relationship, but it is interesting to hear the basic similarities in our personality types highlighted. In our case, it seems that when we were first together, the similarities created a synergy, but over time, the differences are creating friction. Do you have any specific resources you would recommend for helping sort out relationship conflicts between personality types? Thanks :)

  You’re INFP. I can tell just from how you articulate yourself.

  Thanks for the comment, Samantha! You have taken on a worthy goal. Do you have a close friend or family member who can help you keep on task? Sometimes, just having someone check-in to make sure you are getting things accomplished on time can help you stay focused.

  Our best type guess for Lisbeth Salander is an INTP.

  INTJs have a strong sense of justice too. As an INFJ myself, I loved that scene in GWDT. There’s nothing more gratifying than when assholes get what’s coming to them.

  INTJs can also be quite creative. They also lead with a Learning Process (Ni – Perspectives), which may explain why you got Learner in your Gallup poll. INFPs lead with a decision making process (Fi – Authenticity).

  Not all INTJs have their shit together. It usually depends on how much time they have spent exercising their co-pilot of Te (Effectiveness). So, don’t think you have to be a badass.

  As an INFJ, I envy the Te process of INTJs. If I had to choose I would prefer to be INTJ.

  And rapists, too, I forgot to add.
