Impressive. I take it from the above you (unlike dad or I) are not an "N", which would also explain our mutual antipathy and is probably another mirror.
No, I would not make a good poet. When I was 25 I tried to write the great American novel. Had always won praise from my teachers through college for fiction and I thought I could do it. I could not. The structure drove me insane even though the language was easy. If I were to be a writer, I would be out of time and would be more interested in writing a 19th century Russian horror of a novel than within the current strictures of writing.
I am a master of reading people. It has been said my father is a gift for judgement, and my mother is empathic on the verge of psychic. It would make me a wonder at the poker table except that I am incapable of lying convincingly myself. The personality types are extremely useful at dissecting people's motivations and for understanding where they are coming from. It is insufficient to analyze an argument purely on its text...you also have to analyze how it is made and how it is making it. The personality tests are extremely useful for this purpose. They, like other tools, are limited and only give out what the situation calls for.
