'At least on the surface, he seems to show both Ni/Te and Te/Ni, as well as Se/Fi or Fi/Se as his inferior. What does tertiary Fi look like to you, as compared to tertiary Se? His obsession with...
I think we would see more dominant-Te from him though. Seconded on angelcat - If Tom Riddle is an ENTJ, he's the quietest one I've ever seen; he shares his plans with NO ONE until he's sure of them...
Does it really? Yes, it relates to how the person interacts with the environment, but ISTPs are Ti first, and depending on how in touch they are with their functions (and how introverted they are)...
Hmm. I'm not sure how good a method that is for telling if a person has Se. (Though for the record I do think DJter shows inferior Se. For the moment I'm leaning very strongly INFJ - although a very...
Huge thanks for analyzing all of it and offering your perspective! On elaborating on some of my answers... ^ Just to add to this, another thing that energizes me would be having a vision...
Thanks! Hmm. So you see possible TiNe or NeTi but also possible Te? The entire set of those functions - including Ni - I relate to at various points, which is why it's difficult for me to figure out...
Other things that do trip me up being that I think I thrive on conflict and challenges. I have an INFP sister and I can see how conflict distresses her extremely, but my take on it is very different...
Oh wow, thanks for going through both surveys and typing out your thoughts. I really, really do appreciate it. (Tangential, but since this might be helpful to how I think: I really do mean it...
That's interesting. I derived Ni-Se by a completely different method from Acerbusvenator. I understand Ni as being attached to ideas (vs Fi's attachment to values, and Ti's attachment to logic/...
Well, you're certainly best placed to recognise the functions in yourself! Although I still say more opinions would be helpful.
Agreed with Acerbusvenator above. I see definite, definite Ni-dom (and inferior-Se), so not INTP now, but it's become a toss up between INTJ/INFJ for me. There's definitely an idealism and a lack of...
Yeah... I can't say for sure, but your communication style does seem more ISTP than INTP. You're also a lot more concise and less theoretical than most INTPs I know. As well as some other things...
That does seem to show clear Ne preference over Se! Although Ni and Si are both high... I'm not sure. Perhaps an INTP could pop by and advise on whether they see Ne. They'd probably be better placed...
Why not? You could try, and see if that helps! I tend to come up with... weird and unhelpful results on cognitive function tests myself, which I put down either to weird development or...
Tertiary Ni I'm guessing? There's a thread on it here: http://personalitycafe.com/cognitive-functions/110155-tertiary-ni.html with some ISTPs sharing on what it means to them. It might help.
The first questionnaire did suggest Ti with inferior Fe, and I'm leaning ISTP because of certain answers: Unless the project counted for a major chunk of my grade, I liked the class, subject, or...
Oh yes. I do see the obvious difference in communication style, and what you mean by Fi through Te for you. Interesting. This makes it clearer. Thank you!
I see! Thanks for the examples. Hmm. I think I begin to see what you mean... As someone who went through a similar debate on their type (if you have the time and don't mind) do you happen to get...
Oh yes. The INTP/J forums can seem (not always, but they certainly can) almost a caricature of the type sometimes. Although I do relate to the detached/objective nature of those forums better than I...
I don't know if it's just my own preferences that leads to me conclude that (external crisis ---> internal soul searching/ who am I?) but yup! It does seem everyone does this to some extent. Which...
Hmm. Amusement at the Ni tangential ramble in the first paragraph aside which I'm frequently guilty of doing too... ;) Definitely not Fi there. It's quite Fe driven - both the relationship with...
On one hand, and with regard to what @TheLaughingMan said, what you instinctively revealed might be indicative of your preferences (and that was Si). So that could indeed mean Si-Ne. On the other...
Oh yup. I've read that too - that INTJs tend to be more confident of their type, and that since society generally tends to impose J-type values, it's more common for INTPs to mistype as INTJs...
Nice description. Thanks! Yeah, one thing I've noticed - and for all I know it's true of myself too - many of us who appear on the 'what's my type' forum tend to be going through something (and I...
Yup. Definitely an N-dom, although I can't tell whether Ni or Ne. I get an overall vibe of Fe from some of the answers... I'm not sure if that would be surprising in an INTP (ManWithoutHats - would...
I agree with most of this, although I must say I see why you're unsure, because I can see flickers of both INTP (Ti-Ne) but also surprisingly high Fe and there's a spiritual bent to some of your...
Aww. But thanks nonetheless again (because it does take effort to go through something like that). Congratulations on being almost done yourself too, incidentally, and all the best for the last...
Really? Thank you! I shall wait. I know I typed a lot, so thanks for taking the time to look through it :)
... one of my friends suggested I should be looking at INFJ instead though I'm not sure I see high-Fe in myself. I expect a known Fe-user would be better placed to advise on this though. Help please?...
Yeah. Most Fi users I know tend to be quite aware of their Fi (or, when pointed to descriptions of Fi, quite swiftly respond with 'this is me') - at least from what I can see on the forum, and from...
Amusingly, my first thought when I read this was that you might be an Fi-dom (either ISFP or INFP). Then I scrolled up again and saw the comment on your friend thinking you were an Fi-dom. I'm still...
Yeah. I'm not sure how accurate the extraverted thinking description is. I assume it's not altogether inaccurate, although I have to wonder how many Te-doms actually agree with it. It seems rather...
Hmm. I remember becoming more introverted later in my childhood too, and being bossier and more domineering when I was younger (especially in my interactions with my peers). I think my mother's...
Most of those things (rebellious, disobedient, difficult) could point to either, and to be fair your Mom's description is probably slightly coloured by her own bias (or distorted by time), though...
Oh yes. I see what you mean now. The answers do seem to indicate a slight preference for introversion, but sufficient comfort with the corresponding extraverted function (Te) that I'm hesitant to...
Both suggest that you're fairly in touch with your Fi anyway. Which might explain your answers on your beliefs and morals, emphasis on integrity etc. Just looked at your second questionnaire again,...
Oh! i wonder. There are INTJ 8s, and it is quite a common enneagram type for INTJs too, although perhaps being in a state of unhealthy 5 led to you scoring introverted (the way most tests are...
Really? I could still see both. For instance inferior-Se restlessness could lead to wanting to get out of the house etc. Hmm.
I just noticed that you're E8. I'm not sure if that would make a difference to your desire to take charge and goal-orientedness (though this usually seems more E3) even if introverted, though it...
Hmm. I've seen both INTJs and ENTJs express something to this effect, though most ETJs I know tend to be more black-and-white about their moral beliefs and with using it to justify how they react to...
Interesting. I see a lot of Te, but also Ni, definitely. Have you considered inferior-Fi and tertiary-Se? Because your answers to both questionnaires seem to point more to that, than Fi-Se, to me....
I realized that probably would have been more helpful. Done and thanks! 0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness,...
Hi! There're probably quite a number of threads on how to spot the difference between Ni/Te and Ti/Ne, and I've read a fair number... but I'm still confused on my type. I used to type INTP all the...
Yeah. Agreed. An 8 probably wouldn't bother so much with how he might appear to others.
Indeed! :) And yeah, he doesn't seem to have the aggression and anger you'd expect of an 8 (or any gut type really with regard to the 'anger' part). Hmm, the reinventing himself and taking on a new...
Having both 1w2 and 3w2 could result in quite a strong 2 influence even if it's not in his trifix, but 153 seems really off, while 125 (or 152?) I could see. Oh yes, he did very much prefer to...
2w3 seems the most likely, or at least closer than 3 and 4, which I can't quite see. Hmm. That does work. Oh yes. I've never been able to figure out if he's a core 8 or a core 3. I could see 385...
Oh yes! Looks good. Narcissa's probably a core 6, perhaps? I don't see her as a 9 or a 3. I wonder what Dumbledore's enneagram type/ tritype might be. He's more difficult to place. There's a 1 and a...
Narcissa I think would likely be a 9, although she could be a 9w1. Lucius probably an 8w9. It might even be his core, I think.
They're both fairly security and appearance/ status oriented, despite being different types. Hmm. It's probably a little more difficult to place a gut-center for either though. Yup! Se-dom indeed.'
