Considering that people are right around 13 years old when they use music to define themselves:

1965+:Late 70's: Disco, Journey, Early-new Wave.
1970+:Early 80's: New Wave, Billy Squier, Def Leppard, Michael Jackson
1975+:Late 80's: GnR, Whitesnake, RunDMC, Beastie Boys
1980+:Early 90's: Grunge, Hootie(Puke), Dave Matthews(PUKE Central!)
(Yeah, I said it: PUKE-Rock!)
1985+:Millys begin.

PS: We gotta get you some help!
.....so...you like Disco?

Nothing wrong with that, I guess. I'm down with 70's funk. 80's new wave isn't that bad.

But yes...my 90's music taste doesn't really make me more of an Xer and we know it doesn't make me a Millennial because basically I like music made by fellow cuspers.

Cuspers began taking over the scene, what around 98 (am I'm not just talking Pop, because I didn't like pop then) and are now the main creators of music. I know that doesn't help my case in some peoples eyes.

So I guess I appreciate most, the Silents and my peers when it comes to music.

I'm going to go watch Batman the Animated series with the wife now. That series is another Y Cusp gem.

Sarcasm on the guess. But please note that I lean more on the disco that at least maintains some elements of funk and soul.

Non of that disco duck crap!

From the 70's I dig:

-The Gamble and Huff Philly scene (even the work they did with The Jacksons least popular album)

-Isley Brothers (their 3+3 period
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_%2B_3)

-Kool and the Gang (even their stuff before "Hollywood" and there 80's classics)

-Earth Wind and Fire

-Some Bee Gees.

-I respect Donna Summer, but I would never buy her album (or pretty any of the disco queens)

-I'm a fan of the music from 70 to 74. Maybe 75. But very few disco in the late 70s.

-Favorite song from 79'

There are others but I just realized that I'm hijacking a thread about myersbriggs. Something that I always talk about everywhere else, but here and right now for some reason.

I dig "The Hustle." I'm sure someone else would consider that "Disco Duck."

BUT IT'S NOT CRAP!

Have you seen the history of Soul Train doc? It comes on VH1 every now and then. I love how Don Cornelius didn't know what to do with the early Hip Hop scene.

Thanks for including those links. I'm sure there forgotten by some just like the show "What's Happening."

A good description of Extroverted Feeling I ran into:

I've frequently seen people reference Lenore Thomson's definitions of Fe, and I feel that I need to clarify something (as Fe is want to do). Lenore Thomson is self assessed INTJ, and from what I've read of her work, I would agree. She's a brilliant INTJ with an amazing amount of insight about cognitive function theory. However, as an INTJ, she has no native understanding of Fe, and therefore can only understand it as an external concept through her observations, and furthermore her filters of Te and Fi. This leaves her in a position where her understanding of Fe comes only from observing Fe in others, usually SFJs, and therefore her descriptions of Fe are not entirely well defined and rather biased as an outsider.

Therefore, I feel compelled to clear up some misconceptions about Fe.

Fe is at its core a system of reasoning based on how it feels things should or should not be.


Let's analyze this statement. Fe is at its core a system of reasoning - meaning that it is in fact a process of analysis, deduction, and assertion. Based on how it feels - denoting an emotional, philosophical, and ideological bias. Things - external concepts, people, places, systems, etc. Should or should not be - denoting an expression and assertion of expectations.

Combine all of these factors, and you now understand Fe. Values and judgments applied to the outer world.

However, all of these factors create very common behaviors. Fe users often have a great deal of emotional investment in people, even strangers. Fe users often have a great deal of expectation in social arenas and emotional interaction. Fe users often engage in what could be called emotional currency. All of these behaviors are the result of Fe being applied to these situations, not Fe itself. This is such an important distinction to make for people who are not native Fe users. Fe is not the sum of its expressions because its expressions are half Fe half situation, and most importantly not all Fe users have the same expressions of Fe.

For example, a stereotypical Fe dominant would use their Fe to adapt to others and create harmony - because they feel that's how things should be. However, another Fe user could just as easily create conflict with others because they feel that the others are not doing things the way they should be done. This proves that Fe is not the 'get along' function so much as the assertion of values function. Fe users often prefer harmony, because they often feel that harmony should exist not because Fe inherently seeks harmony. Fe inherently seeks to exert the individual's values with respect to the external.

A classic example of this is how obnoxious some ENTPs and ESTPs can be because their inferior Fe feels things should be a certain way, as led by how their Ti understands things to work. I've known several ENTPs and ESTPs who very much felt that harmony was a waste of time. However, this is still a manifestation of Fe.

Therefore, as much as Fi is a function of one's internal values. Fe is a function of one's external values. This is evidenced by the fact that most Fe users know exactly how they feel about things, but are often unable to discern how they feel inside. Fe users have strong opinions, but are often a mystery to themselves - assuming they bother to question their own feelings (Fi) because Fe tells them how they should feel. An Fe user can convince themselves that they should feel things or in ways that they simply cannot, and this can cause a great deal of internal emotional conflict. On the other hand, an Fe user can convince themselves that they should feel something and thus be motivated to greatness. For example an ESTP who convinces themselves that they should be tough, fearless, etc. or an ESFJ who convinces themselves that they should be benevolent, kind, and patient. In both cases the individual is applying an external ideal to themselves, and is thus using Fe rather than Fi.

The idea that Fe is inherently based on how others feel is incorrect. Fe can be swayed by the opinions of others, but it is just as capable of bolstering itself against the opinions of others. What matters is whether or not the Fe user feels they should be swayed by the others in question. For example, a religious Fe user would likely feel that they should adapt their views to match their religion, but would not at all feel compelled to adapt their views to match another religion when around people of a different faith. This person may feel compelled to be polite and harmonious, and therefore respect the other faith's right to its traditions, but would feel strongly that they should not also practice while in the presence of it. However, an Fe user who feels antagonistic to another faith might well be disruptive if they felt this was what should be done. Fe is one of the biggest reasons for religious clashes. Clearly, Fe users in wars of ideology are not feeling compelled to be harmonious. In fact, some of the most heated arguments come from two Fe users who have differing views on how things should be.

Therefore, while Fe is usually motivated to be harmonious, and many other things attributed to it, because it is a function of external values, it must be noted that Fe is simply that - a function of external values, and as such it is much more diverse and applicable than most definitions give it credit.
I like this because of popular misconceptions about Fe perpetuated by xNTxs over and over again as if they were fact.

I just took this test and scored INTJ and born 1980.

Break down:

Introverted (I) 55.88% Extroverted (E) 44.12%
Intuitive (N) 53.33% Sensing (S) 46.67%
Thinking (T) 70% Feeling (F) 30%
Judging (J) 73.33% Perceiving (P) 26.67%

According to the test, that's only 2.1% of the population. I scratched my head at this and said: "Really?". It seems a bit shocking to me that only 2.1% of people would be introverted/intuitive/thinking/judging. My introverted nature doesn't really keep me from being sociable or being able to hold a conversation with anyone -- though I have moments where I have to have my space and get away from me when I need it. Likewise, my intuitive doesn't seem to be too much higher than my sensing. Except when it comes to women.

I find it accurate that I think a great deal more than feel things through. I usually roll my eyes at romantic films and irrational behavior. I do find it fascinating that I'm apparently a fairly judgement person. I think I've gotten a great deal better about this as I've gotten older. I guess I've gone from 90% down to 70% I suppose.

EDIT: Wow, I've been going through some of these posts here and there seems to be quite a few INTJ's. What does it all mean? Do we 2.1% of the population all converge together like magnetism?

I've noticed the disproportionate numbers of INFJs on this site, considering it's suppose to be the rarest of all the Myers Briggs types. I think it may be that there is something about this subject matter that attracts them...Now, I'm not one of you guys. I'm pretty much the opposite, ESFJ. I'm not sure how common this type is, but it seems to rarity on this forum. I've only run across one or two others with my same personality type here.

I think the over-abundance of us INTJs here has something to do with the fact that S&H's theory helps us make sense of what we know, intuitively, is driving our society and even civilization itself.

I agree. I mean the theory works as confirmation for me. I don't think I would have bought some of its generalizations (and maybe would have even felt offended) if I didn't already observe this stuff for myself all my life.

Well, I've just sensed & felt it "SF"...LOL...But yes, like you, when I read first read the books it just validated some of the things I've observed or sensed all along. But mainly it just answered a lot of questions I had wondered about for years.

being new here, i was surprised at the number of INFJ's here *yes i am one also* right now i am in the studying phase and asking lots of questions as it seems to be part of my nature to question everything, constantly looking for some kind of explanation that may never be fully answered. drives most people nuts

She would never tell me but I think I drive my wife crazy asking her questions we both know there isn't a clear answer for. Most recently I ask her with the utmost seriousness....

"Why is the baby doing that...?"

No matter how in tune a mother can be....they are still not mind readers and have to learn a new born's signals just like the best of them.

There are other times, when I even ask questions though I know the answers...or if someone tells me something and I instantly go "Hum???" even though I heard them clearly.

I don't know the entire theory confirms what I intuitively feel is going on, and of course it explains the bigger picture I've been seeing for quite a while. I'm only one of two ENFPs here. I feel like a rarity here.

I was more Introverted when in elementary school, forced to be so due to some very bad interactions with my peers and other issues I had as a kid. It wasn't until later that I rediscovered my extroverted nature that I had before going to school when I was a preschooler (I was VERY extroverted as a preschooler--so extroverted my mother used to joke that I'd go willingly & happy-go-luckily with a kidnapper).

Here's a website to tell if you're "really" an INTJ.

All INTJs need to check this out: It's amazing IMO.

PS:Oh yeah. Hey JDFP. Cool.
Wait a minute. I thought IN"F"J's were the least common of the personality types. This link is saying "IN"T"J's are. Which one is it? You know, I think an INTJ would be easier to deal with, than an INFJ. Although both can be insensitive to other people's feeling, or say something offensive without realizing they have done so, but at least with an INTJ you don't have to worry hurting theirs back. Now with INFJ's on the hand, watch out if accidentally say something to hurt their feelings or they misinterpret your meaning...You will have to spend hours trying to convince them, "That's not what I meant!". Although, that turns out to be pretty much a waste of time, since they aren't going to buy it anyway. ...In my experience, INFJ's can be insensitive to other people's feelings, but they certainly aren't insensitive to their own. I know. I've been living with one for over 20 years. My advice to anyone who deals with an INFJ on a regular basis. If you say something to accidentally hurt their feelings. Don't even try to back track what you said. Just apologize, take your lumps and move on. It's just easier that way.

Now get over it; There's work to be done.

Here's a website to tell if you're "really" an INTJ.

All INTJs need to check this out: It's amazing IMO.

PS:Oh yeah. Hey JDFP. Cool.
LOL, not that it really matters but here is what it says about INFJ's

http://www.personalitypage.com/html/INFJ.html

i was just saying that i found it interesting that these personality types seem to come together here in great droves. As i Said in anouther thread like moths to a flame.

That's a deep statement when you really think about it considering how some legislation is enacted that attempts to achieve specific Outcomes.

Bottom Line: I realize that I'm not in control of how Others interpret things. In fact, I specifically don't want to be in control of Others Fellings/Thoughts/Actions.

Can you "dig it"?

I have to agree, some may not ...oh well. it does not really matter which is the rarest what does prove interesting is that so many of the types have congregated here.. i never gave my personality type much thought and have never asked is a social situation so what type are you. there is a trend here that i just find interesting and slightly amusing.

As an ESFJ, being nice is extremely important. I feel bad if I hurt anyone's feelings. It bothers me a lot. Plus I absolutely hate conflict. If I hurt someone else's feelings it causes conflict. Then I'm the one who really ends up paying because then I have to deal with the conflict. Much easier not to go there in first place for me. I probably spend too much energy trying not to make anyone mad.

I honestly think you are nice person too. But then on the other hand, if I didn't think you were nice, I wouldn't tell you that anyway. (Wouldn't want to hurt your feelings...LOL). Happy Valentines to you too.

And, yes, I've been a good little mother and watching my speed. Having to pay $200 for the ticket will do that to you.

I am also an INTJ. With all the talk of S&H's theory confirming what people know intuitively, I must again emphasize the dangers of confirmation bias. It is one of the most serious cognitive biases we face, and it is driven by forums like this one.
