So Washington State just went back in time, but instead of picking something cool like 1927 or 1982, they picked April of 2020.
(what I mean by this is we just reinstated all lockdown restrictions)

My governor keeps making alternate version of our old stages, so it's like we've got a version that comes with double standards and stupidity. We're in the new version of stage 2. It's not looking any better, but it's been two days, so who am I to judge?

I swear my math professor is gaslighting me.
I checked Canvas on Monday to make sure I was all caught up in the class, which I was. I then check Canvas on Thursday and several lectures have just... appeared. In the previous weeks. Like, videos that did not exist on 11/9 now exist on 11/12, but are marked 11/4, 11/5, and 11/6. And I'm so freaking confused. (Though it would explain why I did so poorly on the 11/6 midterm)
She also deleted an assignment submission (after the due date) and made a copy of it, but didn't move my actual submission over, so it's marked as a missing assignment. She didn't say a single thing about deleting anything. There was just the one submission, then for about a week there were two, and then there was the other one. No announcements or anything.
ALSO I would expect math teachers to understand that the fewer assignments there are, the more impact each one has on one's grade. Therefore, her little trick where she bunched five different HW assignments, took the average grade of them, and turned them into one assignment in the gradebook weighted the same as one assignment is REALLY pissing me off. I made the informed decision to miss an assignment for mental health reasons, knowing how it would affect my grade. There are 6 HWs total and I missed #6-- that should be about 83%. What I was NOT anticipating was having HW #1-5 bunched into one assignment, therefore bringing my overall grade to a 50%. Not cool, fam. ESPECIALLY because of the above paragraph, where she straight up deleted my HW #5, so my grade right now is sitting at 40%!!!
I had two panic attacks today as a direct result of not knowing what the hell is happening in this class. I feel like I'm insane and just not seeing the obvious. I feel bad about MYSELF, thinking that I'm just blind or crazy for not noticing things.

I think I might like like someone. I really wish I didn't, because nothing will ever come out of it, and even if it did, it probably wouldn't end well. But, thinking about this person makes me really happy, everytime I talk to them, my whole day brightens, and they make my heart do dumb things like flutter, and I don't like it, but at the same time, I love it. This is lame.

I have spent 3+ hours seizing all night long. I slept 2 hours before they started and I’m so goddamn tired.
It’s 7:34am but feels like nighttime.

This is the most INTJ thing I've read this month, lol. Is it? Lol How so? INTJs are known (stereotypically) for having positive feelings but hating it. So when you went "my heart does dumb things like flutter" I was like, boy, that's an INTJ statement right there. XD It could also be an ISTP thing, they're also known for that.

Ohh, well, something that's kind of funny, is that most of the time, when I take the test, I actually do get INTJ, I sometimes get other I's, but that's usually the most common one lol. However, the last time I took it, I got ISTP!

I should take one for my internet personality vs my real life personality, because on the internet, I am wayyy nicer and more outgoing than I am IRL. I have really low Sensing, so I'm often completely oblivious to things around me, which is the main reason I know I'm not ISTP. My ISTP father has often gotten upset or disappointed in me because I straight up won't notice obvious things. (He's kind about it, he's a really good dad, but I've gotten the phrase "How could you possibly not notice?" yelled at me a lot) That's the main thing-- being in my own little world and not really interacting with reality. That's indicative of an N-type, but most tests still tag me as ISTP because I have very little patience for semantic discussions or philosophy, which is an S stereotype. And if you look at ISTP stereotypes specifically, I relate to a lot of them (not talking a lot, being short and gruff when I do, data-driven with no patience for speculation, and I also do like spatial activities like building but I'm not very good at them). I kind of wish I were ISTP, because ISTP girls are really rare because our culture socializes little girls away from ISTP activities like building and pushes them into more xSFJ activities like fashion or caretaking. Most ISTP girls and women are seen as tomboys or very masculine because of this. Sorry for accidentally letting my MBTI obsession show. XD

Is there a list of stereotypes you can look at somewhere to do with MBTI? I'm sorry, building is a lot of fun, everyone should be able to enjoy taking some wood, some nails, and just making something out of it. Like, the possibilities are endless! You can make a house, a swing, a wheelbarrow, anything! Of course, you'll need other things with it, but for the most part. It's really fun too, when you finish a project, the feeling of accomplishment, like, wow, I can't believe, I made this out of this!

XD Sorry to jump into this conversation, but this explanation is really interesting. I usually get INTP when I take the MBTI, and I think it’s the closest to my personality I guess, but for some reason I never feel like any of the types fit me super great. Edit: INTJ is the one I get when I don’t get INTP, except I just retook it and got ISTP, I don’t know whether that’s more accurate or not though.

Most ISTP girls and women are seen as tomboys or very masculine because of this. Sorry for accidentally letting my MBTI obsession show. XD Sorry to jump into this conversation, but this explanation is really interesting. I pretty much always get INTP when I take the MBTI, and I think it’s the closest to my personality I guess, but for some reason I never feel like any of the types fit me super great. A lot of online tests try to put a lot more into MBTI than there really is. It shouldn't really be used to analyze someone's personality, per se, because that leads to a lot of traps where people can feel boxed in. However, that's exactly what most of the tests do. Put the rest of this in a spoiler because it got long. Tl;dr is that MBTI only tells you your thought process, it doesn't say anything about your behavior. You could be solidly one type but still not relate to the behavioral tendencies of that type. MBTI should be used primarily to explain how you think, not how you act. It gives you a certain order of cognitive functions that are basically a stack of what you reach for on instinct. So when you're confronted with a problem, you reach for your first function first, and if that doesn't work, your second, etc.
There are certain tendencies each type has. So INTPs and ISTPs both have Fe as their fourth function, which means they have the tendency to be asocial and reclusive, and not particularly friendly. However, that's a tendency, not a definition, so there are several IxTPs out there who are quite friendly and social.
What many sites do is say "You're an IxTP. That means you're withdrawn and don't like other people". Obviously a social INTP isn't going to relate to that, so they may discount the MBTI entirely, when it actually does have its uses.
There are some definitive traits for each type. INFPs and ISFPs worry about what other people are thinking. This is on a bell-curve, so some will worry more and others less, but all of them at least have the nagging thought that others are thinking about them. That's a definition of the IxFP, and trying to change that about them by telling them to not worry about it or that it's not a big deal or that those people don't even care is going to make them feel worse. That's where MBTI is useful-- I (an INTP) can use it to communicate more effectively with my INFP boyfriend because I now have a system to understand how he thinks about things.
But note that I didn't make any statements about how IxFPs act. I said "they worry about this thing". Some IxFPs will deal with that anxiety by being overly social and trying to get everyone to love them, and others will become more withdrawn due to fear. Others may not think about it too much but still label themselves "socially awkward" because they have that innate worry that others see them as awkward.
MBTI can't make any statements about behavior, only thought process. Certain thought processes very easily lead to certain types of behavior (which is why there's tendencies for each type), but that's not a rule. Yes, I am obsessed, thank you. XD

He's legitimately knowledgeable in the really advanced MBTI stuff, so his comedy brings in a lot of subtle aspects that you don't often consider. He's really good and really funny, I recommend it. XD

I know I’m definitely IxTx, but I just took the test on multiple websites and combining that with what I know I’ve gotten previously, that means I’ve gotten all four of those options. In order of frequency: INTP, INTJ, ISTP, ISTJ. It doesn’t help that usually no matter what I get when I take it, I end up as an almost 50/50 split between N and S, as well as P and J.

The general thought is that you shouldn't even take tests other than to find a starting point. After that you should research what the functions are and what they're responsible for (e.g. Se is responsible for spatial awareness and being present in the moment, Fi is responsible for your own emotions and your connection with them, etc.). Then using that knowledge, you can formulate a stack of functions. Based on the rules of stacking (mainly that certain numbers have to be opposites), you'll come up with an MBTI type. It is a process that can take a long time. And there aren't a lot of tests that can type you this way because it's not very friendly to that format. But it is the most accurate way to type. I can PM you the in depth function rules and counting if you want. I'm not going to put it here because I've derailed this thread enough. XD

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I’m sure that explains why I get frustrated with it, the websites I’ve seen do try to explain behavior and it doesn’t end up fitting. Do you happen to know of any that are better about separating out just thought process when they give you the analysis of results?
