I was ENFJ 20 years ago. Now, I'm ENTJ. Thinking...hmmm. Discuss. [View all]

Does middle age bring on the lack of interest in feelings and emotions, and work as a funnel to get you to execute things with logic and reason? I think I am far more driven to get to the right place the right way than to try to bring others along with me or get them to like me. That's for damn sure.

My intuition is almost never wrong, especially about people. I can imagine an event with any number of people and pretty much see which variables will directly impact the people involved and their personal choices and reactions. I can usually guide people toward a better outcome, as well.

I think the middle aged brain says, "Hey! I don't have all day, here!"
