Hey Frank, what do you think about Ambivert? Would you count someone as an ambivert if s/he would say that about them or you would count them as slightly introvert/extrovert? Every time I do the 16p test I either get Entp or Intp, my family count me as an extrovert bc they all intoverts but I think ambivert suite me the best

[@MsMrExe]

Great analysis. But there's one thing you keep mentioning about IXXJs that I think is misleading. It's less that IXXJs want to keep things limited and stick to the known and more that that they want to go deeper into what they've perceived rather than seek new things before they've dug deep enough into the known. So, basically, IXXJs go deep while EXXPs go wide. One seeks focus, the other variety.

[@StephanieJeanne]

INFJ here- That's very true.

[@timefortee]

Important precision!!

[@dodopson3211]

Makes sense, I already wondered if the tests type me wrong (intj) because I love exploring/ researching new things. To the very details of that specific subject I am interested in. If I'm not interested in the subject then no thanks but everybody dislikes learning about things they're not interested in.

[@thehalfbloodserb]

I think you can tell this most easily with conversation styles. IxxJs stay on a certain topic very easily and will explore that topic deeply with their Ni and Si, making them seem more singleminded. Whereas ExxPs will jump between topics (either in an Ne or Se way) and will seem more scattered as they like to consider all the data available to them.

[@leogrrrl5876]

I was the 16th like, & found that oddly satisfying given the topic. (Note: I can usually care less if I'm the first, last or middle like). Mary & Dodo- I agree with both of you.

Also they haven't cried in a year and a half. I cried this morning. And yesterday. And the day before that. So... yeah, it was the easiest letter to figure out.)

[@willowpv4734]

My thinking is 49% and feeling is 51% Perception is 52% and judging is 48% And so MBTI ruled me as an INFP And that's why people who try to figure out my type ends up perplexed or wrong.

something similar happens to me but with the N and S / J and P. I'm more of a P for sure, but its 52 for the S and 48 for the N. And I really feel myself in the middle sometimes.

With a possibility of getting cut & injured with glass. Staying the box keeps me safe. I can talk to others from the box though from the box it my voice isn't very clear. Since no one can see me they don't know how I actually feel. As much as I want to face them I am afraid to leave my box. I don't want this person to see me in pain. Sometimes my box doesn't always feel safe. It sometimes becomes very cold. Sometimes it overheats. A lot of times the walls of my box start closing in on each other suffocating & squishing me. Though never fully crushing me. A few people see my box & examine it. Then try to get me out. Usually I panic & have to fight to stop them from prying it open. When I win they leave which makes me sad but also I feel secure. When I lose they come in only to leave my box with junk & then climb out slamming my box shut. With family I open my box up letting them peek but not letting them get into my box. Family is okay with it occasionally asking if I want out. I deny most times. Very few people have gotten me out of my box. With those people I will leave only for a bit. I stay close to my box just incase. Once they go away or I get tired. I go back to my box. Did I just make a whole analogy for me not wanting to be vulnerable... Yes Do I regret doing so... Kind of as it took a bit of time I think I should sleep though it's 1am Have a great day/evening/night! Stay safe! Drink water! Do other stuff that is healthy...

I would like to know how the 16 personalities deal with like conflict? As an ENFp I know I can become compliant, unless it’s towards someone else or an injustice ect in which case I am the opposite. But if someone is being mean to me or trying to start an argument my reaction is to diffuse it as quickly as possible and find a solution to the argument or like try and understand why the other person is acting like that. Idk it would be interesting to see how the types deal with it and why.

[@CatsAndOrchestra]

As a fellow ENFP, when I try to deal with conflicts that don't involve me, I first try to stop the argument/fight and observe the situation from an objective perspective. Then, I offer both practical and emotional advice to people. I still feel sad that people fight/argue and question why they do, but it's not a big deal. However, when I have to deal with a conflict that involves me, I imagine why the person is so anxious/angry and I often become sad tbh. I just can't fight back and often blame myself cuz I hate to admit that people can be evil (although that's true). I get pretty emotional, sensitive, and maybe even cry a bit (except for Internet wars since they aren't real human interactions imo). 😅😂

[@TheWhistlingBireme]

Depends on the severity of the conflict and level of maturity? Also ... when I was younger, I may have not wanted to talk about it, would’ve just bottled it in and avoided talking it out at all costs lol If I even tried *on the rare occasion* it would’ve just been this super awkward thing where I couldn’t even properly describe what I was feeling and much less understand theirs?

Funny, I’m a F and and my husband is a T. He’s always interested in my take on things that are happening. I’ve realized rather than just being curious about my thoughts he’s actually collecting my impressions as more data and he relies on me because he can’t do the feeling stuff as well but acknowledges there is some good information in the feeling realm that could help him in his thinking world. So he’ll ask me what I believe someone or a group is thinking or feeling about some topic or situation because he isn’t as good at picking up those clues but really wants those clues because he knows they’re a valuable piece of the puzzle he’s trying to solve.

On the other hand ISTJs have Si as their dominant function meaning they like to store their experiences and memories for future reference, and they also have Te which is about thinking logically in relation to society rather than on one's own in one's head

You/they can also always be a mix! For example, I’m a mix of ENTJ and ESFP. There are some aspects that aren’t accurate about me according to the ESFP category but match me perfectly in the ENTJ area and vice versa. But there are also defining characteristics from both in areas that match me as well! Edit: I find that most people are too complex to fit into one type, since there are stereotypes. But finding the dominating characteristics overtime is key when making this prediction! :)

That's good, you've at least identified your quadra- Gamma: ENTJ, INTJ, ESFP, ISFP.

[@alinaqirizvi1441]

That's not possible according to cognitive functions.

Like I see where your coming from about 'you can't fit all people into 16 types' and all but really it's just 16 starting points which can be developed in different ways.

I cant really speak using facts and when someone answering that way i start to analyze it what made them speak that way maybe aloofness, or childhood trauma, or not interested to talk to me? Details are my friends when i do organise something which I really enjoy, in order to achieve a goal, but not when communicating with others, it really can hurt my feelings even if its just their communication style.

As part of your real life application vibe you're on. It would be interesting to take it from a workplace perspective. "How to deal with your boss, based on their 16 types" and the flipside, "how to deal with an employee based on their 16 types." Or even into "coworker" too. The workplace can really change the dynamic between people. As an ENTP, I know I struggle finding the right balance of doing my job exploring possibilities and flaws while not offending my Feeler boss. It's been a huge learning curve and there's definitely a market for that.

[@vivaleroca7511]

As an INTJ, I immediately ask for specifics on works and projects. I believe this gut reaction to be more rooted from avoiding tedious details than needing specificity in plans. It's easy (for me) to just get a general glimpse of what's about to happen, but then get stuck at the most inconveniently minuscule hurdle in the process. Just pointing out that some people could potentially contradict supposed patterns of their types. I've known INxPs who purposefully cater and please others just so they can be left alone lol.

[@heathergrahame9647]

I hope you get lots of people contacting you and wanting to be typed. Counter-intuitively, the most valuable part of the interaction will not be whether or not you accurately type them. The most valuable part will be you listening to their story with open acceptance and compassion. When someone is given that, it's a huge relief, and it causes a psychological "chemical" reaction to occur inside of them which allows them to move on from problems. Acceptance and compassion from another human being is magical. To use a metaphor (!) it loosens a psychological knot :)

[@attheranch873]

Yes, but people can get that with a good therapist. When people call Frank they also really want to be typed.

[@carolinanq10]

I read in 16personalities that ISFJs are like divergents, they can do all the preferences well enough, so it gets really hard trying to type them. A friend of mine I finally guessed lol that she is ISFJ. But I always thought she was a thinking type because she sounds very logical when she talks, she procrastinates a lot and I thought she was a P type, she is very friendly so I thought she was extroverted, and we studied psychology so she can study the theories of things. So it is a fascinating personality. I found a key question to type someone is "WHY do you LIKE this?" I asked her why she liked a movie and said "because they talk about doing good in the world" and I was like ok F type, and she didn't like another because "they said many metaphors" so ok S type. Also I always tried to type her without her permission and it never ocurred to me that it would be rude lol -- INTP

[@narayanmenon3900]

According to the description she is a true ISFJ lol. Most extraverted introvert . J types can procrastinate especially if they don't have Te in their function stack. Te is ISFJ's trickster function. ISFJ'S tertiary function is Ti which is why sometimes they happen to be logical

Hi! So some advice I wish someone would have given me was that it really doesn't matter what major you choose. Unless you want a specific career (and you know 100% that's what you want to do), just pick something that interests you. If you feel like you're running out of time, however, I would look at what units you've taken and run an audit to see what major you have the most units toward. I hope this helps Good luck! You've got this and I believe in you!!

[@coriolanuskid]

I think all ENFJs deserve to have a trusted INTP or INFP they could consult when they want someone to act as a sounding board. INFPs and INTPs are good at helping others discover their own inner values. It’s important to trust yourself of course, but ENFJs really have that Fi Nemesis/blind spot so I can see where it would be frustrating and exhausting to try to work out what you want entirely on your own.

But I'm very creatively expressive. I just adore the arts and couldn't fathom my life without them. I'm studying Creative Writing & Literature at the moment and I've never felt happier. I really think this is where I want to go in life.

It's been way too hard to type my personality. Tests didn't do me justisce as they they didn't in my school years. It's been a couple of years now that I take the personality tests intermittently, & they've given me INTP, INTJ, & some INFJs. I think once they gave me ISTP & ISTJ, too. So, I tried to find out my inferior functions, & to be sure I even embarked on an adventure to the dark realm of shadow functions to seek answers. I've just returned from this chaotic journey & it seems I'm an INTP, after all. I'm only 77% sure of it, though. I think I have to learn to accept it & let it slide this one time. We'll see!

If you have Si, you just throw all the Ni/Se types out of the window, that at least should be helpful.

[@MoonshineBeforeSunshine]

@@timefortee Thanks! My Se seems bad, kinda like my Fe. My Si is kinda good. That's one of the reasons I think I may have to be an INTP, too. That's also why I went for the shadow functions to get a better closure: I've always been particularly bad at Fi. Despite the seemingly common negative position on the nagging side of the Ni for INTPs, I moderately consider the dark side of the Ni in my shadow function as a help of sorts, 'cause without it I think I can get carried away too much with a naivety in regard to the realistic demads of life. However, I have to agree with that common position, too - that Ni nagging sometimes tends to get too much negative & illogical to handle. Interestingly, I've had a problem with the recognition of Se; namely, I don't know whether my having been good at making sketches (almost exact replicas) of things since childhood is a sign of a strong Se or Si. I never had schooling or official training at making sketches of things, it came to me naturally as a kid. So, I don't know whether this childhood talent constitutes as a Se or Si. I suppose it is Si, though, 'cause since childhood I've also had vertigo, & I know that is just the strongest sign of a weak Se.
