I consider myself an ENTP but my psych major says I'm an ESTJ? or ESFJ? even though I can't see myself in any descriptions of it.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

That's so true. I never feel like I truly understand myself, but I am certainly an introvert. Also... I'm in a committed relationship with an ENTJ... lord help me!

Haha, I could not date any of the ENTJ's that I know They're pretty awesome though.

https://www.personalitypage.com/html/INFJ_rel.html

Things may work out but I don't know jack about relationships so...

I actually prefer the Socionics theory of 'Dual' types. The theory is that ESTP would be the INFJ's best match, they share all the same functions and thus are capable of understanding each other in a pretty straightforward way, only the order is reversed so it still requires effort and a willingness to see the other person's perspective which is supposed to lead to growth (INFJ's are Ni, Fe, Ti, Se; and ESTP's are Se, Ti, Fe, Ni). I think it has to do with lessening a person's reliance on their dominant function, and integrating the 'shadow' (it's commonly seen that INFJ's when stressed will act like an unhealthy ESTP, and vice versa).

ENTP's are supposed to be a more immediately comfortable match, I find they're usually the first to interest me, but in the long run it is supposed to lead to stagnation. Like I'm usually immediately enchanted by Ne (ENxP's dominant function) but I also find its diversity and lack of direction exhausting after a while. It's the function that is great at brainstorming, it comes up with like 30 ideas through the course of a conversation, while my Ni eventually craves depth and wants to investigate a handful of these ideas more significantly. I enjoy Ne though, and both types being dominant intuitive types have a lot in common, but I think it's double-edged, like a person ends up seeing primarily the similarity which makes the genuine differences harder to deal with somehow when they eventually do emerge, like both sides kind of want to ignore the differences and engage in the similarity but they can't necessarily always do that.

The main conflict in the ESTP and INFJ pairing seems to be Ni vs Se, rather than the Intuitive/Sensor division as such. ESTP's tend to fly by the seat of their pants, while INFJ's are generally more adventurous in their thinking than they are in real life, so it's hard to find comfort in that kind of lifestyle or with that sort of person. It's the kind of perspective that plays on our sense of insecurity due to the shadow function thing I mentioned (as Ni does to ESTP's), so I think we tend to balk at it.

I got:

Have not yet had a chance to confirm.

 

[HolyBaikal]

I tend to get ENFP. Though I tend to wonder if I'm choosing things I idealize, rather than what I really am.

I think it could be related to why I enjoy internet forums so much, even though I have many bad experiences. I very much enjoy talking and expressing my opinions and feelings. I don't feel good if I go very long without talking to someone and expressing my feelings.

The internet gives me an outlet. Though a very flawed one with lots of trolls and mean people.

I also feel at home in crowded areas and I enjoy meeting people. That doesn't necessarily mean I have fantastic social skills. I feel socially uninhibited, and I tend to make a lot of social mistakes without giving them much thought. And I tend to just assume that things will be okay, and I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeves. That's probably a sign of a lack of social awareness, and over-optimism. But it's how I choose to live my life.

Thanks for the responses everyone =)

And protip... do NOT look up the celebreties matching your personality type. I looked up mine in google "INFJ celebrities", and the bad ones FAR outshadowed the good ones...

I was like "yay awesome I have the same personality as Plato & Gandhi that's kind of cool" :: scrolls down the page :: "Hitler, Osama, & Mugabe WHAAAAA THE WHY D,="

I guess that makes sense.

 

[Soodanim]

I took it twice, because some of the INTJ write-up stuff isn't quite accurate. But both times, I got INTJ. As for the percentages, I think I'm a mix of both. Bolded what I agree with most.

Very interesting subject, I wonder if I'd get the same results if I answer this out of work.

INFJ.

Apparently, the rarest of all types. I feel like an awesome Pokemon. But in reality I'm a failure.

It's a bit scary how some of this makes a lot sense.

'people with this personality type firmly believe that nothing else would help the world as much as getting rid of all the tyrants.' Omg this is scary.

[Essay]

ENFP here.

Do yourselves a favour and forget the whole % scores. Figure out which of the 4 possible combinations of Cognitive Functions your brain relies on (here's a decent link describing them), and then work backwards to determine their order of preference. This will tell you your MBTI type. Forget the tests, especially if you're scoring close to 50-50 on any of the scales.

For possible combinations of functions:
NFP/STJ: Ne+Si+Fi+Te
NFJ/STP: Se+Ni+Ti+Fe
NTJ/SFP: Se+Ni+Fi+Te
NTP/SFJ: Ne+Si+Ti+Fe

From strongest to weakest, functions should alternate between introverted and extroverted or vice versa. The leading function determines if you're an introvert or extrovert, though you might not identify as one, because, society/self-image.

Once you understand this theory, it also becomes possible to speed-read people's types with surprising accuracy, or, at least the Feeling+Thinking function preference, which tends to influence people's approach to interacting with people the most. The Art of SpeedReading People by Tieger goes over some ways to do this more effectively.

Gaf-type strikes again.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm having emotions right now and I don't know how to deal with them. It's so weird. One sure thing, though: People around me will never be aware I'm having them.

Life can be complicated for an ISTP...

Wow, lots of ISTJs...

Add another. Took the test two seperate times a few weeks apart and scored ISTJ each time.

Estp or "beer drinker"

Sounds about right

So I took another personality test just to make sure.

[Unbound By Death]

I am something between INTP and INFP.

Really like how the descriptions actually bother to provide some realistic feedback based on (very general and basic) psychology. Unlike star signs.

Fellow INTJs, do any of the following traits describe you?

* Like to make to-do-lists
* Day must be properly scheduled, low tolerance to changes in the schedule
* Prefer working alone rather than in groups
* Perfectionist
* Have high expectations and standards
* View others as illogical/irrational
* Loner or not as socially active as others

Holy shit, this is pretty damn accurate.

http://www.16personalities.com/enfp-personality


ENFP personalities are usually characterized by high levels of enthusiasm, especially when it comes to things that spark their imagination – in such cases, ENFPs can be very energetic and convincing, able to easily convince other people to join their cause.

ENFPs are also likely to have difficulties dealing with routine, administrative matters. They are more interested in freedom and inspiration than security and stability, and this attitude is usually clearly visible – an ENFP would rather try to come up with an interesting solution or an idea, no matter how difficult that is, than deal with simple yet boring tasks.

I know an INTJ person and he is exactly like this.

as an INTP i share the high expectations/standards , viewing others as completely insane , and much less social since i highly prefer the company of 1-2 people instead of a dozen.

Essentially the difference between an INTP and INTJ is the organization of stuff.My day can be a total chaos, but an INTJ's whole week is planned lol.

I usually come out INTJ in these tests, but this time around I (barely) got an ISTJ.

I think with online forms where the topic is more 'geeky' that's especially the case.

ISFJ. Did one of these last year.

 

[HPhins54]

Used to be an ESTJ, but now I'm an ISTJ.

Growing up, I was pretty introverted. Had a good amount of close friends, but was pretty shy around new people.

As high school progressed, I became more of a people person...to the point that I was pretty extroverted and was quite outgoing around most anyone.

As I've grown older, I find myself becoming more introverted again. Perhaps a result of working in retail for several years.

There's a little more to it than just a switch between the J and P. The preference for certain cognitive functions are switched somewhat making it a little tricky.

The INTJ's dominant function is Introverted Intuition whereas for INTP's it's Introverted Thinking.

Probably just a coincidence but I just so happen to have my week planned out as well.
