One day I decided to take some personality tests online. I’ve always been curious as to why I am the way I am. Intuition seems to have a lot to do with it.

On the Myers-Briggs personality tests I came out as an INTJ.  That link is a short description, if you’d like to see longer ones either of these is quite accurate.  Long INTJ 1  or this one Long INTJ 2  Those three links will explain much more what an INTJ type personality is.

You probably know one or two but the INTJ type of personality is kind of rare and it’s estimated that fewer than 1 in 100 people is an INTJ. I do things my way and bend the world to work the way I want it to. That’s the power of my mind at work.

Just know that one little thing about myself helped me in many different ways. It also made it easier for me to explain how I know some things. I can now work out what I know from intuition and explain it to other people.

Unfortunately I have to start at my conclusion and work backwards to figure out how I arrived at that conclusion so I can explain it in a way that others can understand. Most of the time I don’t care to take the time to explain.

When I know something, I know it and if others don’t believe it I don’t usually care. If they happen to be close to me, that’s rare too, I will make the effort to help them understand.

I do rely on my intuition a lot more than the average person does. Something happened yesterday that brought this to mind. Out of the blue I was offered a job where the hours would be very flexible and probably no more than 20 or so hours per week.

The rate of pay was much higher than I expected it would be. Forgot, I didn’t go aply for the job, the person offering it had heard about me and wanted to know if I was interested. When someone wants to pay me 30 bucks an hour I’m usually interested. Even if it’s just for the experience.

However during the talk we had I got several negative feelings about the person and what they were presenting to me. Lol, I can do the job, that’s not the problem.  There were to many things he talked about that just didn’t quite ring true with me.

To may little odd discrepancies that didn’t make real logical sense. When I got home I thought about it for a long time and even talked with my girlfriend about it. We talked about all the things I felt and she made me explain everyone of them to her.

End result is I’m going to take the job, I don’t need it but it might be interesting, however at the first sign of anything wrong I’m going to quit. My intuition tells me not to bother but if I don’t take it how will I know if I’m right or wrong.

I suppose I’d find out but I’d rather be there first hand to see what my intuition was trying to warn me about. However I will be on high alert for anything and everything.

I believe that people who do trust and use their own intuition have a huge advantage over those who don’t. I use and rely on mine so much that I get asked, frequently, if I’m psychic. Nope, don’t think so as it’s very explainable to me. It may seem psychic to others but I’m used to it so it seems normal to me.

So I’m going to try it, against my better judgement, just so I can prove my girlfriend wrong. Yes, I know, not very nice of me but my intuition also tells me she’s never going to believe my intuition is trustworthy until I do prove it.

Funny, I expect her, being a female, to undestand but she doesn’t. Females are seen as more intuitive than men but maybe she just doesn’t trust that men can also have intuition. I’m not afraid of looking silly or being wrong because I trust my self and my feelings. It’s happened before and it will happen again.

Truy trusting your intuition now and then and see what happens. You might be surprised how often you are right.
