Like most people, this was not my first time taking MBTI.  The first and only other official time I took it was 6 years ago, for the programming council group I ran at UVA.  At that time, i was ENFP, with a strong emphasis on N and F.  I always joked this made me very touchy feely.  And a perfect example of this was when another person was faced with a conflict, and the other person in charge (who was an ESTJ) and I both asked her a question that very much reflected our personalities.  She asked "what are you going to do?" while I simultaneously asked "how does that make you feel?"  it was funny and stuck with me as an example of how different personalities approach life.

With the test with Gotham however, I felt like there would be a difference.  After all, nearly 6 years of living in New York City would have had to harden me in some way, right?  And I wasn't disappointed.  I am now borderline F/T, no longer the 22 to 3, but 13 to 11.  I'm happy about that.  Not to say that I've become cynical, bitter or no longer think with my heart in instances.  But I now see and think that I take a much more critical approach to life, making decisions based on right and wrong rather than how I feel at the time.  In my faith too, I see this as having a major influence on how I approach God.  How it makes me feel is no longer enough.  It is now a focus on how God works in this world, city and culture in a redeeming and methodical way.  And Gotham has come along at just the right time to help cultivate and nurture this new approach to life.  So that's good.

Finally, the J is not surprising, as my calendar looks like a rainbow threw up on it.
