I actually liked the idea that one could be a double extrovert or double introvert, like a "true" extrovert/introvert.  This was something that made sense to me, since I can think of many extroverted people where its hard to notice any use of an introverted function and vice versa, but still most people seem to be at a balance point between…Read more

Is there anything you all would want everyone else to know or understand about you in terms of your FA?

If not, then as of right now my simple Pe curiosity was considered feed quicker than expected.

@auburn If I had to guess right now I'd say 6/10 is what it takes to get rated Flat Affect in CT, no?

I would say the absolute complete story of Ni-ness, or the "pure" Ni... is that which exists collectively in all hierarchies and in all Ni users. But such a thing does not exist in…Read more

@elisaday - Right, you don't have flat affect. But from what you said, I wouldn't be surprised if some younger photos of you showed flat affect. That sounds like a…Read more

Wow... not that this aspect of CT has to be perfect, yet it seems like this visible pattern is something that is either completely present or completely absent without any spectrum that would show gradual leaning toward or away from something like a Broader Line Flat Affect. Like an all in one instant triggering effect🤔 If this is the case...…Read more
