How self-assured I am largely depends on the situation for me.
You're right, confidence is often equated with those qualities in our society, or they go hand in hand. I mean, the line between confidence and arrogance is often very blurry. There's also overlap,...
ESFJ? Never even considered that, lol. I do feel she's more of an introvert, but probably kind of an 'ambivert', more inwardly oriented, though she can be pretty social, but it's mostly asking...
Hmmm, yes and no? I mean, she'll notice things, but then seem sort of oblivious...but I can't fully say. I don't know how she goes about her work much, so I can't really say that much. I'd say she...
You always impress me with your intelligent, insightful responses, Aelthwyn. I pretty much agree/see it the same way, and said similar things in the MBTI Facebook group. Extraversion can very well at...
Yeah thought she did test INFP, I'm beginning to think INFJ would fit her more. I hesitate to equate insight or instinct with intuition, but she does seem like an Intuitive, and definitely seems to...
Do you think some types exude more of a natural confidence or are more likely to be confident or present as such? Sometimes overly so? Are some types more prone to lack confidence and be self...
I've been curious about what type my good friend is. It's not that important, and MBTI is really just one facet, but I have thought about it. I actually got her to take the test (forgot if it was the...
Yeah like I said, Fi should essentially be familiar with their emotions, and put them in the context of some sort of 'emotional logical framework', so that they aren't overwhelmed by feelings that...
Yes, of course there are many other influences. Someone who grows up in a culture that values the wellbeing of the group over the individual, a more collectivist society, might be swayed more towards...
Yes, stereotypes etc can certainly affect things. I think Fe definitely does tend to be more prone to being conscious of and blending in with their social environment, so if their social environment...
If your Fe was really as developed as your Fi would you still really be an INFP? Maybe the introversion/extroversion for feeling, thinking.etc can be balanced, like for I/E in general? Like I tend to...
And what about INFJ? Really, though, aside from the whole intuition thing INFJs aren't any closer to INFPs than ISFJs. Maybe your enneagram plays a role, I think you're probably not an enneagram 4....
Yeah I'm more basing it on feedback from my parents. I don't think they think I'm that selfish, but that I have a selfish side, which isn't that untrue, but sometimes Fe users see Fi users this way....
INFP and ISFJ are very different. My mother is a textbook ISFJ, and I can see where we clash a lot. Fi and Fe tends to probably clash the most of the two functions. I think an iSFJ who mistypes as an...
I think it depends on the individual. I think 'feeler like' INTPs could mistype as INFP, and more thinker-type INFPs, like say an enneagram 5 (I'm an 5w4 myself, and feel on the F/T borderline) could...
People say on the surface INFP and INFJ often seem similar, but I'm not sure how true that is, really. In my experience, INFJs do seem to give off a different aura. Maybe this is hokey-talk, but it...
What is not necessarily Introverted Feeling, or rather, what things don't necessarily prove you're a strong Fi-user/Fi-dom, but isn't necessarily not caused by Fi: - Being overly emotional,...
Yeah I'd say Fe and Se would be the main functions behind it, maybe a combination of Fe driving Se especially. But may especially the strong Fe users..
I think whether it's viewed positively or negatively can depend on so many factors: content, intention, who is using it, your past experience with people calling you by name (especially by parents...
One thing I noticed awhile ago is that I don't tend to address people by name very much in conversation. Like some people will frequently mention a person's name when talking to them, like, 'Yeah, I...
Match an occupation with an MBTI type (in the most stereotypical sense): Accountant: ISTJ Activist: ENFP Actor: INFP/ENFP Architect: ENTP Artist: ISFP/INFP Athlete: ESTP Banker: ISTJ...
Yeah I'd agree extroverted feelings are more that way inclined. Introverted thinkers probably the least.
I don't think so, really. Maybe any extrovert tends to do it more than their equivalent introvert (so ENFP vs INFP, ENTJ vs INTJ etc) because of a dominant extroverted function. Personally I feel Se...
I know there are many factors, like cultural background, other personality aspects, your mood, what you're talking about, but I wonder if any generalised trends exist with how much each type/function...
I was actually wondering if it was about how much we use our hands when we talk...but that gives me a good idea for a thread.
Do certain types seem to 'grow up' faster, or try to act all old, responsible, grown up, or adult or 'mature' earlier than others? Like in childhood and adolescence, but also avoiding any perceived...
Do you think intuitives tend to he drawn to the spiritual, mystical or esoteric more so than sensors? More likely to believe in what is not immediately apparently to the five senses? I mean, even...
Yeah I've noticed INFPs end up writing these short dissertations, I'm no different. I think we want to explore a subject in-depth, and want to convey what we have to say with as much accuracy as...
Leading on from my previous posts, I think it's a bit simplistic to say which type tends to be quieter/louder, more or less talkative. I think it largely depends on just WHAT they tend to like...
What's your opinion? Do you agree/disagree? I think we have to distinguish between those who just like talking, and those who have the most to say. The most substance. I know I'm biased but in...
We're all (almost all) feeling beings with emotion. Without feeling, life would be pointless, we'd be like robotic automatons, so the idea of dismissing emotion/feelings is in itself sort of...
Isn't the need to stand up for your beliefs so passionately often part of that though? haha. Well obviously we can respond in differently ways, being mature about it frankly stating our position, or...
I don't really see bluntness or honesty as all that particular to TPs, although most TPs tend to be more this way than others. But yeah, probably broadly true. I'd say a lot of NTs, especially ExTPs,...
In descriptive terms what would you say the similarities are between all those in the Delta grouping (as in typical behaviours/thought patterns)?
Damn, how could I have forgot? But you did a better job anyway, and I agree with that.
Honestly, I think I'm pretty borderline between INFP and INTP. Not simply because of the F/T dichotomy, but in function tests my Ti is quite high, and while I relate more to INFP, I relate a lot with...
Yes, though maybe she's more maternal than she gives off, and not all SFJs will be. She seems like she'd be fairly accommodating. Great idea, I commented on a video she made, 50 things about me, I...
Most and least 'open-minded' 'freethinking' types, in the true sense of the word, not merely being 'liberal' or slavishly following anything that's popular. I'd say NTPs the most, SxJs the least.
That INFPs/Fi-doms are all easily offended little unicorns without a backbone...Fi is probably the most powerful function when utilised or aroused. And it means an internal system of values, not just...
I think ISFJ/ESFJ is most common, then ISTJ and ESTJ. Though it really depends on what you're looking for, and how 'accurate' your observations and conclusions are.
Stereotypically though she doesn't seem like an Fi-dom. ISFPs also seem quite moody, at times, though we shouldn't assume they're all moody. I get an Fe vibe from her, she seems pretty easy going,...
Wow you're only 13? haha. TBH I think it's still a bit young to really be sure of your type, though your personality kind of is quite set from an early age, I think, it sort of just matures, like...
My personality type is definitely very different to my parents and siblings, though there have to be a few similarities.
You didn't have a 'both but not necessarily equally' option. I'd say it's a complex question that requires delving into biology/genetics/social-developmental...
I know Jungian feeling doesn't equal simply being emotional, of course. Many people think Fi means just being highly emotional/sensitive, when it's about referencing your internal values, and INFPs...
Basically, I think each type might have a tendency to excel more in certain types of intelligences. I'm not sure one could really conclusively say one type trumps them all, or a few types are much...
Of course, it's just ONE example, and there are a million other factors, but I know one INTJs who gives off the impression of being cool and rational, but gets pretty arrogant and condescending when...
Thanks to David Keirsey we usually divide the 16 types into four temperaments: the SJs (Guardians), SPs (Artisans), NFs (Idealists) and NTs (Rationalists), as if they share most in common with each...
Calm that Fi, child ;), this wasn't to be taken too seriously. You must be new to the forum lol.
