Tickle Test: Love type

NOTE: My real MBTI scored ISTP (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving). Well it's still consistent with the I and T.

Mia, your love type is: Introverted, Intuition, Thinking, Judging

The most important thing to remember about the dimensions is that just because you are an Introvert doesn't mean you don't also have some Extravert characteristics. The fact that you are an Introvert simply means that you have more Introvert characteristics than Extravert ones. The same goes for the other dimensions. Therefore, when you take a look at your relationship personality type, know that you probably possess some tendencies of the other dimensions as well. It's just that more often than not, you a have a tendency to approach the world on one side of the scale than the other — as an Introvert instead of as an Extravert for example. Below is more information on each of these dimensions and how you score on each of them.

(I)ntroversion/ (E)xtraversion: This dimension describes how you approach and interact with the world and how you typically direct your energy.

Most times, people simply associate introverts with being shy and extraverts with being loud. These descriptions are not entirely correct because those two qualities are only part of what determines whether someone is an introvert or an extravert. For example, typically, to an extravert, the outside world represents both excitement and opportunity. Extraverts often think and perform better in front of others. Also, because an extravert's energy is often directed outwards, extroverts like being around people most of the time. Introverts, on the other hand, usually direct their energy inwards and often need alone time to replenish their energy stores.When it comes to communication, introverts will tend to formulate their thoughts before they speak up. Extraverts will often think and talk at the same time, saying whatever comes into their heads. This more immediate approach makes extraverts spontaneous, but it can also get them into hot water. Socially, introverts prefer more intimate settings where they have the chance to get to know fewer people on a deeper basis. Extraverts typically feel that in social situations, the more the merrier. As mentioned above — not every introvert or extravert will display every trait tied to this dimension. In fact, people are apt to display a mix of traits.

I(N)tuition/ (S)ensing: This dimension demonstrates how people tend to process information.

What kinds of information do you naturally notice? That's the main question this scale answers. Sensors tend to focus on concrete information. Intuitives tend to focus on possibilities. By using their five senses to gather data, sensors trust what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or felt. By staying attuned to their five senses, sensors are also apt to focus on the present and to have great attention to detail. If you are looking for accurate information, ask a sensor.Intuitives, on the other hand, are more imaginative types who tend to look for deeper, abstract meanings in the world around them. They do this by inferring things from the data that's in front of them. For example, when presented with information, intuitives usually enjoy pondering over implications of those facts and anticipating future consequences. Intuitives aren't often interested in details and tend to see the big picture of a situation faster than sensors.

(F)eeling/ (T)hinking: This dimension demonstrates how you make decisions.

The way each one of us makes decisions is influenced by whether we are primarily thinkers or feelers. Thinkers value analytical thinking and tend to be methodical and logical when evaluating their options. Thinkers pride themselves on being objective, rather than letting their subjective feelings or opinions enter into their decisions. Feelers often see thinkers as being somewhat cold. Feelers have a very different decision making process. Theirs takes into account how others will be affected alongside of the objective facts. By putting people's individual situations in the forefronts of their minds, feelers are more likely to make exceptions to rules than thinkers are. Feelers are highly empathic, and sometimes this bent can make them seem too emotional to thinkers.

(P)erceiving/ (J)udging: The last dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness.

The final dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness in your life's situations. For instance, because of their high need for control, judgers like structure and order in the world around them. Judgers are typically organized people who focus on goals and accomplish what they set out to do.On the other end of the spectrum are perceivers who usually prefer to experience the world spontaneously. Oftentimes a perceiver can't tell you their schedule from one day to the next because they don't know what's going to happen. Perceivers usually like keeping their options open and can pride themselves on adapting to whatever situation they confront. Judgers are most excited when they have finished a project. Perceivers tend to be most excited when a new endeavor begins.Now that you know more about each of the dimensions, we can give you more information about your specific four-letter personality type. This type was derived from your answers on the Love Personality test.

Your love type

About 2-3% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.Being an INTJ means that you can be a real intellectual powerhouse. Chances are that your mind is almost constantly engaged by one fantastic thought or another. Because you're the kind who is highly creative, keeping up with you can be like riding an intellectual roller coaster. But your zest for life usually goes beyond your own big ideas and endeavors. You can take real pleasure in helping others to reach their dreams as well. As a result, INTJs like you can be wonderful coaches to help people attain their goals. You seem to know how to bring out the best in people.In relationships, your type is known for deeply valuing your commitments. Not the kind to be an open book, you're often hesitant to share your feelings with others — especially in the early stages of a relationship. You may take a long time to admit the depth of your feelings for someone. It may also take some coaxing to get you to share personal details about your life. This hesitance may be a form of protection for you since you know that you can develop very strong attachments to others. It also likely comes from your sense of loyalty. You seem to want to make sure that you can stand behind your words before you speak them. Once you do open up, you can love sharing your thoughts with someone you're close to. Still, you're not often the type to gush about your emotions. Instead, you'll let people know in little ways how you really feel. INTJs like you will reveal yourself to another person but only when you find someone with the right key to your mind and heart.What makes you a good partner and friend?

You know how to stay true to your word
You can be an amazing resource for information
You possess almost boundless curiosity and imagination
You're a supportive and encouraging partner

Your most compatible types

Because you're an Intuitive Thinker (NT), you can be both creative and intellectual. NTs like you are usually very in touch with your rational side. Consequently, you're apt to appreciate those who are logical and know how to put their analytical skills to work. As a result, your most compatible types are people who are Sensing Thinkers (ST). STs are great for you for a couple of reasons. For one, they're usually on par with you intellectually. They also can be good at keeping your big ideas reined in. STs are known for being sensible and for having their feet firmly on the ground. This worldly intelligence can be very attractive to you. There are four NT/ST matches for you: ESTJ, ISTJ, ESTP, ISTP.

How to best get along with Sensing ThinkersOne of a Sensing Thinker's main strengths lies in their ability to think analytically and logically. As a result, they may sometimes have difficulty thinking outside of the box like you can. Don't be surprised if you propose something new and are met with resistance. "New" can be challenging to an ST. Rather than pushing for an immediate agreement, give them time to warm up to your idea. By moving one step at a time and not simply discarding your plans when you hear the word, "No," you're likely to find some comfortable middle ground for both of you. It can help you to realize that your Sensing Thinker needs to feel a certain level of control most times, particularly when they are in unfamiliar or unpredictable situations.

Introverts vs. extraverts:

In addition to knowing that you get along best with STs, it's important to understand how your social style and activity preferences will impact your relationships. That's where the Introversion/Extraversion dimension comes in. Check out how you're likely to get along with those who are similar to and different than you in this respect.

Introverts with extraverts

You are an Introvert (I) . So when it comes time to relax and enjoy yourself and you are with an Extrovert (E), it's not surprising that you'd both propose different activities. Perhaps your Extrovert wants to get together a group of friends to go out dancing and you'd rather just make a quiet dinner together and pop in a video. Such is the nature of an I/E relationship. Keep in mind that having different preferences is not a bad thing. In fact, your different activity levels can keep life interesting for both of you and help you to grow as people. Also, as an Introvert, there are likely to be times when you really appreciate having someone around who shakes things up for you. The most important thing for an I/E mix to be successful is to maintain flexibility and appreciation toward one another's differences. By both making efforts to meet each other's needs, you can become a happy and well-balanced team.

Introverts with introverts

Being with another Introvert (I) like yourself can make for very smooth sailing in a relationship. That's because your activity levels and preferences are likely to be well matched. Small group gatherings like dinner parties or one-on one quality time are apt to be the kind of diversions you both seek when it's time to relax. You'll also both be quite comfortable taking time apart to focus on each of your diverging interests and hobbies. So, if one of you is a sports nut and wants to spend the whole afternoon watching the game and the other one would rather go on a hike, chances are you'll both feel okay going your own way. This is sure to make you happier as individuals and when you're together.
