Greetings from Australia

:hello:

Hi there

I have known that I am an INTP for a few years but never really considered the implications. When I measure myself by what seems to be normal I always seem crazy. It is really liberating to find that there ARE others out there who are like me.

So about me... I am 24, female and doing my first year of uni studying Parks Recreation and Heritage.

One thing that I have been wondering...
How can an ISTJ and an ISFJ end up with 3 kids who are 2 INTPs and an INFJ? Doesn't really seem to make sense.

:cheers:

Karmic retribution? ;)

[Melody]

[file cabinet]

what are you doing after college?

[jimkopelli]

Hello to you, too.

Check your grandparents' type?

Hi!

[adamaw11]

And hello, I'm also from Australia. welcome.

and yeah, thats a lot of 'N' to come from two 'S' parents.

one theory that I've wondered about is that the personality of the kids has to be made up of functions that the parents had. So in that case the Si and Ne came from the ISTJ and the Fe and Ti came from the ISFJ (but then I suppose the INFJ can't fit into that)

my parents are ESTJ and ENFJ.

In answer to file cabinet's question, I don't really know what I will do after I finish my degree. Mabe something with GIS

I like to read, do jigsaw puzzles and go bushwalking. I also like to go camping when I can arrange it.

Maybe the Karmic retribution thing has some truth to it. My brother and I drive our mum nuts.

what is bushwalking?

it sounds fetishly sexual

incase you didnt know, 'bush' is slang for the female private area

im so knowledgeable

[Zamira]

OK Translation error here.

In Australia Bush means forest or maybe grassy woodland

so... a bushfire is a wild fire, bush bashing is going across country or not following the track and bushwalking, well maybe the term is hiking but it is wandering around in nature as opposed to walking in an urban area.

I know there are a few terms that don't translate well to Americans. Our comedians have great fun with the misunderstandings caused by thongs because here they are a type of footwear rather than a type of underwear (g-string).
