INTJ
I have a super-power. I know I am not unique in this. From time to time, I sense others with the same power, I see their flitting shadow, or it might be their aura.
I do have, by this stage of life, some rudimentary control over my power, but to be honest, I couldn't be fucked learning to switch it off completely. That's not to say I'm happy to have my super-power, it's not something I wanted, or wished for, or planned.
My super-power was evident today, when amongst the masses, I was able to slip by largely undetected, on the exterior of perception.

Congratulations on having the superpower too. We are an extremely exclusive group, as you know, and hence our next annual meeting will have to remain a closely-guarded secret. Even from ourselves.
See you there.
my only hope is that you use this special power only for good.
AUW, I haven't received the notification, yet another manifestation of my power. Anyway, I'm sure it will arrive, eventually, via some kind soul. I may well see you there, but will you see me?
I don't know Rich sometimes I'm really tempted to do puerile things, like mess with people's hair, draw moustaches on the really ignorant, and pour salt into beverages. I never do these things, because mostly, I'd just like to be visible.
Who said that? Who is speaking? (looks around frantically)
My super power is to be powerless !
gosh, I'm not so sure we can really define people like this...I mean describing someone as an INTJ or one of the other types, it seems too unfluid somehow. I did see you as clever and logical and sharp, but then I saw you as other things too.
I'd never heard of these types until I read your post, and when I looked into it, I thought maybe I was an INFP, but then, I'm not really a loner....gosh sorry, rambling here....
Perhaps we are what simply what we choose to be , just in that moment, and that changes all the time.
Isabelle, I am so often 'invisible' to people (cats and dogs always see me). For a long time, I thought it was because I can be on the shy side, but a few years back someone said to me, "I thought you were so aloof when I first saw you, I was scared to talk to you." This made me reflect on the personality type that I had twice been defined as, an INTJ.
I was 'assessed' as an INTJ by a psychologist at work years ago, and again in a work situation, years later. The types that each of my colleagues came out, certainly did seem to fit each of them, as they acted in the workplace. But how very different I found many of them to be outside of work.
You are right, applying personality types to people does take away somewhat from our protean nature. We are each of us is so much more than a definable type and, I agree, it is often moments that define us.
Rich, it is the BAHPMF's that do see us invisibles, my closest friends all tend toward the BAHPMF type.
Yay for BAHPMF's everywhere, you fucking ROCK!
