I really hope you guys are the real deal - and accept me as the real deal too.

I'm curious which Myers-Briggs personality types the rest of you are? If you don't know, here is an MBTI test. I'm an INTJ (which according to that site is "strongly related" to narcissism, though other types can be narcissistic too) and I've found it useful to distinguish between which parts of my cognitive makeup are the INTJ-ness in me (which is supposedly the rarest type for a woman) and which parts are my narcissism. For example, there are times when I prioritize logic at the expense of feeling because I find that the feeling is short-sighted, and then there are other times when I'm being cold for no good reason but just because I haven't given any thought to how I might be able to make someone else feel better. The first part kind of coldness is just because of my Thinking preference and I wouldn't change that for the world, but the second kind of coldness stems from my low empathy, and I'm genuinely trying to work on that (a kind of "fake it until you make it"-rewiring).
INTJ as well!!!!
