Final Fantasy Tactics strikes again! It's a perfect world model, and helps explain my INTJedness... So here goes.
Ask a magician to make a physical attack, or ask a Knight to cast a spell. Can they? Yes, they can, but with limited success.
To me, the world runs in templates and preferences. You don't have to do what you're naturally good at. Maybe you proactively prefer something else. But you know for damn well sure there's some stuff that you're good at.
And on personality types! I'm an INTJ. I love being an INTJ. But all this touchy-feely, show your emotions type stuff... It makes me feel weak. Lesser of a hero, lesser of a type. And that incompetence just adds to my INTJedness of feeling so incapacitated.
So we must act. As who we are. To self-actualize. But with full awareness of what that means and why it means.
It's okay to do whatever, as long as you know why. That one comes from a knowledge seeker.
