Explorers ESFP

Spontaneous, energetic and enthusiastic people life is never boring around them.

'Ah well, pop psychology. ;)

*GOOD* abstraction is abstraction that finds universals that accurately depict reality. If you don't understand reality, you can't abstract well. Just as I know SP's who don't abstract well because...

And ftr, most types with Se in the top of their stacking or Te/Ti in the bottom get called immature at some point. ISFPs are unlucky enough to get both, even though generally I've found them to be...

Somehow I thought I posted a response but guess not. ;) all types potentially exhibit their weak functions in an immature way. ExSPs are immature in that they freak out when it comes to planning the...

Pure genius. Trust me, I love N's, but it takes an ISFP to hit the nail on the head like this. The most underrated type by far. No type is as spot-on in their observations- and they don't feel the...

I found this and posted it in another thread and the questioner found it useful. Maybe you will too. This dude seems to really get Fi-doms....

Dunno if you still want help, but here's some links. The first one is especially good cuz the dude points out the contrast between Fi's natural idealism and actual intuition. The second is less good...

Anyone familiar with the character of Izaya Orihara from Durarara!? Someone introduced me to him as an ENTJ in the vein of Moriarty. The whole screwing with people to get their reactions definitely...

For people who wanna know; I put this in the ESFP thread too. This jive with those who understand functional stacking? Functional ISFP vs Functional ESFP

Hmm... I honestly didn't consider ENTJ because his Se was so pronounced to me. But that is a type I am growing to appreciate more as a I learn more about them, so I am open to the possibility. Could...

The last Sherlock thread was from back in April, and I didn't feel like resurrecting for one character so yeah. :3 There's not a lot of characters that interest me enough to write out descriptions...

Yep, yep, and yep. :) Our Pness seems to manifest itself more in flexibility and a short attention span than in disorganization. My own novels are organized scene-by-scene before I write them...

@themandinator Wow, thanks for that. :) Sounds like the focus of our writing has a lot in common. What about the story problem itself? Is it small scope, like trying to figure out how to survive...

BTW glad to hear other ESTPs write stories. :) Guess we're not as illiterate as people say.

I tried the analyzer thing (hadn't heard of that before!) and a selection of my novel came out as ESFP, an essay came out as INTP, and a blog article came out as ISFP. So that's an interesting...

Typing authors isn't exactly easy and I don't know if there are many ESTP novel writers, but can y'all think of any? I'm curious to see what Doer writing looks like, and if there are patterns. Are...

Well, judging by what kinds of things she's attentive towards, I'd say Se, but she seems to use them on Ne-type subjects. What are some examples of non-ESTP interests that you have?

I'm kinda confused in typing one of my really good friends. This girl always types as an ENTP with strong Ne because she likes debating (usually practical policy debates versus idea debates), and...

Hey everyone. :D Long time no post. Are there any other ENFJs out there with toooons of friends of the opposite sex, but no boy/girlfriend? :dry: For me, at least, I attract the friendship of a...

seems like lotsa other ENFPs love clothing because it's so easy and fun to express yourself that way... No matter how hard I try to dress 'normal', there's always something in my outfit that stands...

I tend to have a guy in tow (as you put it). I've gotten better about making sure they know we're just going to be friends though. It's partially because I'm most comfortable around guys and they're...

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure I'm an ENFP. My mom is an ENTJ, and my whole family except my youngest three sibs (I have a lot) are Ts. So maybe it's that I've been drenched in T-dom (esp Te-dom) since...

Just curious... I'm pretty sure I'm an ENFP (long journey..) but my sis is adamant that I'm ENTJ. I confess this has some merit, so I'll ask you guys (actually mainly girls): -Are they any...

*raises thread from the dead* Right now I'm kinda lonely because I'm in an LDR and I feel like it's dying... I've been in love before but this is something different. I can tell it's going to be...

I'm now in my third year of debate; it's all just now coming together. It's partly as Seamaid guessed, that I've improved at researching and knowing what I'm talking about. It seems like in...

I participate in debate tournaments, so my Te is very well developed under those kinds of situations. (In real life or in real life discussion... my stupid 'illogical' Fi takes over ;) ) When I...

Having gone through something of a break-up with the person I love (not for the first time), I've noticed something interesting-- the happiness bubble effect. It seems that when I'm on a...

I say I feel the need to write, though usually I don't get around to writing what I invent. I NEED to channel my emotions into stories or I wilt and die away... On the other hand, I often feel a...

In real life I don't mind being called nice; compliments make my insides glowy and warm. :kitteh: (until I overanalyze them and decide they're just being 'nice'). In type descriptions, I find it...

I didn't read any but the first half of the first page, but I totally agree with you HappyThoughts. I become emotionally invested in the characters and then to be ripped away from them is very...

Thanks. :D Now that that is cleared up.... shall we begin?

Do any of you come off as Te-dominant users? If so, to what would you attribute this? Have you always had strong Te even though it is your fourth function, or were you raised in a stressing Te home,...

Me, in a [huge coco]nutshell. Around other people I've always been perceived as an extrovert by people who don't know me well because whenever I'm around other people, I [usually] seem full of...

Hey... I haz questions. First, I have questions about distinguishing functions from other factors, and then in a second post I'd like some staples of who I am and see if you can help me. No...

bengalcat-You sound a lot like I was.:proud:

Did you need approval? How far would you go to get attention/affection/approval? How did you react if you felt ignored or unloved and/or were constantly criticized?

So lately.. I've kind of watched all my ambitions disappear. I've always been a really ambitious person, but suddenly it kind of all just went away. :unsure: I've always wanted to like work in...

*didn't read whole thread so hopes she's not being repetitive* Yeah... I procrastinate when I'm bored of life. I get bored when it doesn't seem like there's any complex ideas to think about,...

Like someone up there ^ mentioned, when all (but your two closest) friends think you're like an ENFP or ENTP/J (though they've never heard of MBTI ect).... and you're sitting there listening to them...

INTJ. <3 all my best friends are/were.

I'm not sure that holds true for every type. For example, I'm an INFJ and the most important thing for me is that my partner understands how my brain works as far as how I perceive the world. I want...

Hahaha amazingly. :) Honestly he's the best thing that ever happened to me. Being a T and not caring as much about people (and being insanely curious), he forces me to grow and get over myself. I...

Interestingly, the INFJs seem to uniformly report good experiences with their INTJs.

Really good description of what it's like. :) So what happened?

So. You guys are always drooling over ENFPs, but what about those of you who've been in relationships with INFJs? I'm an INFJ with an INTJ right now.... and not only do we bring out the...

So... I'm pretty sure my guy is an INTJ, not an INFJ like I thought. Anyway, it's the most relaxed relationship I've ever seen, or that my friends have seen. We not only bring out the playfulness...

Morana- yesss I get you. Thanks. :) I should be sad that so many people relate to me (it means you're misunderstood, too) but honestly it's hard not to be relieved that other people feel the same....'
