Why I wish I was an INTJ and highly admire them.

A sleep apnea test won't pick it up (I've been through this process).

You need to go to a proper sleep clinic.

What do you mean? I told my doc I didn't want to do the sleep apnea test at the clinic because I can't sleep new places I'm up all night. So he gave me a take home test. I'm not sure a sleep place would get any usable data unless I sleep there a few nights is that how it works

Sometimes.

In my case they did the apnea test as standard with a little finger widget I took home and wore while sleeping, but the 'diagnosis' was made on the basis of a sleep diary. I basically told the specialist what I thought I had, kept the diary, and he agreed with me.

Then I was discharged because its incurable and you can't really do anything about it, lol. He prescribed me some melatonin, though.

Been taking melatonin and other sleep supplements for the past twelve years to function normally. Didn't know there was another member to the club wazzup dawg

How do you function?? If I don't take anything I can not sleep for up to a week at a time before finally crashing from exhaustion and repeating the cycle. As some point your life just starts to fall apart.

Yeah, basically that. Managed exhaustion.

My DSPD is severe - my natural sleep times between 4 and 9am. Actually, it's developed into Non-24 so I cycle naturally waking up at later times every day.

When I taught, I would drop a day of sleep about every week. Right now I'm a PhD student so I don't have to be anywhere.

The thing is, the artificial means (melatonin and light, not to mention sleeping pills) really fuck up my ability to focus - it's like you sacrifice about 40% of your functionality in order to sleep at socially convenient times.

If your natural peak alertness/concentration is between something like 11pm and 2am, imagine never being able to access that because of 'your job' or something. It's like deliberately choosing not to use one of your arms.

I like the way they communicate VS. big feeling types like infps because it seems like INTJs, if you ask them a specific question, you get a specific answer. If you ask an INFP a specific question you get a generality about feelings that have no factual data bank to support these theories- they're just theories, or hunches, and people are supposed to believe they have some sort of weight. INTJs usually will only express an opinion that they've researched- if they know nothing about something typically they'll admit it and won't even attempt a guess due to the lack of information.

You sound like an INFJ, are you sure you're an INFP?

I used to test as one until I read the description of INFJs

Fear not dear, there's a difference between who you want to be, and who you want to be with

I originally tested as INFJ but everyone here thinks I'm INFP so I'm appeasing them. Actually a large portion believe me to be ENFP but simply refuse that idea
