Haha...

I don't think any academic articles have answers for that.

But through experience, I was once taught by a senior colleague on how to deal with such superiors. I was taught to document everything down because she is well-known to steal credit from others and pushing blames to others. She was not in my department but yet she could still bullied me. So, I had to learn the school of hard-knocks that documentation is very important to protect myself.

In my opinion, I believe one should approach the HR department if anyone has such supervisors because HR dept are supposed to be the "counselling centre" for every company.

If the HR is ineffective, no choice but to quit the organisation unless you could "tahan" to face such people everyday.

Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the company to recruit the right supervisors but if such abusive supervisors are already there, top management should have told that person off to learn how to "behave".

My ex-employer “Fowl Plague” was a brilliant negotiator but ineffectual in her ability to manage SMART people even she has a great team. She would alternate between ignoring her subordinates and micromanaging them. She would demand reams of detailed information at short notice and continue to apply pressure until her demands were met with no consideration for other priorities that people might be handling. Surprisingly, one ex-colleague newly joined the team and quickly became the blue-eyed boy of the boss. Coincidentally, his despicable name is “Laughing Mosquito” and he likes to set traps for his own people, not even a respectable elder who doesn't know how to use a PC.



If you have a difficult boss and need to decide what to do, your first step is to determine what you are prepared to lose and what you can afford to lose. Documentation is good practice, but going over your boss’s head is always a sticky situation. That’s why it’s always good to include your boss in the process and do it in the open. That way you’ll be less likely to be perceived as backstabbing. The is the principle of fighting fire with water.

I can't decide if I am an INTJ or an INFJ.

You don't actually decide on them. Let me try! If you are involved in science, you are likely drawn to those areas in which there is less emphasis on experimentation and data collection than on intuition and comprehensive vision. Your personality is particularly aware of--and on the lookout for--the beauty in a mathematical formula, for example. For this trait, beauty is one of the indications of truth, because the order which beauty represents is a confirmation of the objective rightness of an idea. One of the foremost strengths of your healthy personality lies precisely in your intuition, since intuition helps you uncover areas of knowledge where your conscious thoughts have not yet ventured.

Well, if I understand what you wrote correctly, you are absolutely right! You are describing someone who uses his/her intuition more, am I right? I am definitely not the sensing kind of person.

I am definitely more of a judger than a perceiver. And though I have some qualities of an extrovert, I can tell that I am more of an introvert.

The problem here with me is that I am not sure if I am a thinker or a feeler. Maybe I am borderline.

I've always thought that I was a thinker and an INTJ. I make decisions based on rational and logical thinking. I never let my feelings cloud my perception of a certain situation.

But after that recent events has made me feel a lot of emotions. A hell lot. Since I knew that INTJs are more of introverted feelers (their emotions are centered about themselves), I figured that I was still an INTJ with very strong Fi (introverted feeling) since the strong emotions that I have been feeling are very self centered.

But then another more recent turn of events made me realize that I am an extroverted feeler too. I've realized that I am affected by others' feelings a lot. I always try to make peace whenever there is an argument. I feel uneasy when someone is troubled. I always try to find a win-win situation whenever a conflict arises so that everyone can be happy and satisfied. I'd rather suffer than watch others suffer.

It only applies when I see others suffer right in front of my eyes though. If I hear of people's suffering from the news, for example, I feel nothing.

The thing is, I realize now that I have been an extroverted feeler all along. Which makes me an INFJ... And that is confusing because I do have the qualities of an extroverted thinker and they are pretty strong too.

I do understand that people's personalities are not black and white, cast in stone, distinct. Maybe I am a borderline T/F. But it sure is annoying to me.

So can you help me out? Maybe my reasonings before this weren't correct.. Hmm.

I think MBTI is pretty accurate. and it isn't even close to Horoscopes/zodiac signs. shouldn't even be compared to that. because Zodiacs are just some idk. myth maybe? whatever. But MBTI is a psychology theory.

Anyway. I am an INTP. and the description is up to 99% accurate for me.

I have taken the test during different moods, frequently for a year or so. Just to make sure I get the right type. (the P in INTP) and I Was given the result of INTP 90% of the time. As long as you take the test on different mindsets and moods and give accurate honest answers, the result must be highly accurate.

MBTI, made life easier for me, and helped me accept my self and others better.

P.S: it isn't surprising finding INTP a lot over here. You find a lot INTP only online.

do you like eating snails? I do. I would also like to join Phd studies. okay bye.

Hi konfiety,

I tested INTP too

Mind if I ask you, which career or job are you in now? Just wanna see if it is one of the suitable jobs for INTP in those lists online.

Hello.

Well, I don't work yet. I'm starting university next month. I plan on double majoring in Computer science and physics.

I've always wanted to be lots of things. some are: a philosopher, neuropsychologist or a neurologist.
Neurology, I've also read that neurology is the best suited medicine related major for the INTP. And well, isn't an INTP naturally a philosopher already?

How about you?

MBTI is a reknowned personality test and its definitely accurate.
But of course, your result may change in time as you may be exposed to changes in environment and what not.

Fortune teller, horoscopes all these are pseudopsychology (aka fake psychology) which explains you in a much more general way and not in depth.

Hahaha!

You focus on personal relationships, values, opinions, and interactions. You actively strive to connect with others, create harmony, and cooperate. You want to make sure that everyone is happy and involved. You are especially interested in organizing and coordinating events, processes, and activities that meet the needs of everyone concerned. You naturally appreciate others and want to be appreciated yourself for your uniqueness and efforts.

quovadis123 is Pepper Potts?

You like to use logical analysis. You critique situations and spot flaws. You are organized and efficient, priding yourself on getting the most accomplished in the least time. You like to solve complex problems, efficiently complete tasks, and be clearly in charge. You will quickly analyze a situation, take control, and mobilize people to get the job done.
