Disclaimer: I wasn't sure if I should post this in MBTI or Psychology. It contains elements of both.
I'm curious if this is possible ...
A while back, I was reading a thread on another MBTI forum and they were typing characters from a popular science fiction series. (For the life of me, I can't remember which scifi show it was and therefore can't find the thread.)
What was interesting was they mentioned how one of the characters was an ENFP as a child, but grew up to be an INTJ. Do you think such a transition in character would be possible? Looking at the letters, these two seem like opposites, but then again, I never did figure out and still don't understand all that Fe / Fi stuff. I don't know how (dis)similar these two really are.
This also gets me to thinking about empaths and sociopaths and whether or not an empath could become a sociopath were he or she hurt enough. Example which springs to mind: Cat Woman. Wasn't she a nice lady who got taken advantage of, reached her breaking point and turned evil?
The question is kinda theoretical and kinda serious. I have always had mischievous, evil thoughts which I don't act upon because I like being nice. I like fairness, but I also like fighting, especially for justice. I've been angry for a while now and I just don't know if there is a limit that once reached flips a switch and then I become Darth Vader or Hitler and want to squash the world.
