'It's pretty well-established that Thinking types are more common among men, and Feeling types are more common among women. But what is the most common Feeling type among men, and the most common...
I've never met anybody that I think was an ENFJ, INFJ, or ENTJ. I may have met an ESFJ and ISFP, but I'm not sure.
Atheist ISTJ. My ESTP father is about the most militant atheist I've ever seen. His issue is with the logical holes in religion, the way that others use it to manipulate people, and the way that it...
1. Define well. 2. Unfortunately, yes. /s Actually, I think that the thread went quite well. The wheels fell off pretty quickly, but I've learned a lot more about ENTPs from that than from the...
It's worth learning, especially the intertype relations. The basic idea is that all the types have access to all eight functions, but they only really want to use four of them.
I love interacting with Ne types, especially _NFPs. Two of my best friends in high school were ENFPs. My INFP sister and I used to fight terribly, but around the time she turned 13, we suddenly...
I can't stand it when an ISTJ wants to share every single piece of knowledge that they think is relevant to the conversation, or when they try to show off how smart and knowledgeable they are only to...
Perhaps examples would help clarify my intent in asking. 1. A relative insists on bringing several friends, who you do not know, to your birthday party, which will otherwise be attended...
As an ISTJ, I sometimes have difficulty understanding how ENTPs think. I'm particularly interested in how they handle moral decisions. If you don't put stock in Socionics or functions, you can...
If it's a stupid procedure, I don't really care about it either. If I'm going by the book, it's because A) what's in the book works or B) I don't yet know what I'm doing and I'm relying on the book...
Some people think that Sensors are somehow inferior, and _S_Js (Si-users) in particular. This is because Si has a reputation as boring, obstinate, unchanging, and uncreative. Si-doms (IS_Js) are seen...
I'm terrible at -consoling people -knowing when to shut up -the math part of physics (I can understand a lot of the concepts, just not the math) -not procrastinating
When I strike up a conversation with a stranger at the bus stop and befriend them.
Systematic. Even in my fantasies, I am systematic. I tend to reuse the same paradigms of action and organisation repeatedly, knowing which one is appropriate for the given situation (which is...
Judging by your avatar, perhaps ISTP. By your posting history, perhaps INTP.
The most romantic thing somebody can do is give me a hug. I'm a very touchy-feely person, though you wouldn't think it. The worst thing you can do is give me empty platitudes. I hate fake romantic...
I__J. Ni-doms can deny facts while trying to make everything fit into their model of reality (Hitler (INFJ), especially towards the end of the war, and Stalin (INTJ), especially in the period leading...
I've known a few ENTPs. They're generally fun to be around; I enjoy their sense of humour and the aura of energy that seems to constantly roll off of them. However, occasionally, they can surprise me...
NB: if you aren't completely solid on function theory, or don't know what it is, read this. It's not the most accurate explanation of what functions are, and it veers into non-standard terminology,...
Take a look at my bookshelf on Goodreads. Lots of histories, books on linguistics and anthropology, but also a ton of fantasy, sci-fi, and other novels. Notably, there aren't too many classics. I...
I can cook pretty well, and I'm rather good at improvising. I tend to use lots of spices and try to find interesting combinations. My favourite thing to make is omelettes. I enjoy cooking; eating...
ISTJ here. NB: I rely pretty heavily on function theory here. I absolutely disagree. Sensing is a pretty unfortunate misnomer, because it makes one think of the five senses and a focus on the...
The whole focus on tradition and rules with Si-doms is somewhat misplaced. When it comes to rules and traditions, i.e. existing systems, the reasoning is, This system isn't here for no reason....
My ideals tend towards the liberal end of the spectrum, but my methods tend towards the conservative end (and by conservative, I mean original flavour conservative before the term got hijacked by...
The best thing you can do is be yourself. We are extremely good at telling when somebody is being fake, and we hate it. Just be yourself. If he's not interested in you then, you're wasting your time.
If he's sending mixed signals, it's because he's trying to work up the courage to do something about how he feels. Ask him about his feelings for you, but do not be confrontational about it. For...
I like how you excluded ISFJs. Introverted Sensing is just so... boring, isn't it? /sarcasm Actually, though, I think that INF_s are no more capable (ability is independent of type); they're...
Read this. Skip to the How-To Section if you're in a hurry (although I'd strongly recommend reading the whole thing).
If the drug can be reproduced, then I don't waste it on him. I take it to a laboratory to be analysed for mass production. But assuming that it can't be reproduced... It's not my place to decide...
I very strongly disagree. That portrait captures only surface behaviour and not the underlying thought processes behind it, and it also contains a good deal of incorrect information.
For this post I'm going to assume you know about functions. If you don't, read this. This is the Socionics description of the SLI/ISTp (Socionics SLI/ISTp = MBTI ISTJ). Importantly, it includes...
Trying to type yourself using the dichotomies (I/E, N/S, F/T, J/P) can be very difficult. I would suggest learning about cognitive functions. This site explains what functions are and how they work....
High-level Fe-users (__FJs), because Fe considers actions in terms of how they affect other people, and what other people will think. Fe-users are thus very concerned with what other people think and...
I don't daydream a lot. Usually in idle moments I'm just thinking about upcoming events in order of how soon they are, soonest first, or not thinking about anything, just watching my surroundings,...
ENFP. Same functions, reversed order, meaning that we share the same values, and that they are strong where we are weak and weak where we are strong, so we can reinforce each other. I'm a teacher...
I find passive aggressive behaviour difficult to sustain. I dislike it when others use it to try to send a message; I'd rather have them tell me what's wrong straight to my face, so I can fix it....
My mother is an ISTJ. We think exactly alike, and disagreements stem mainly from differences in opinion or experience and not from personality.
The thing about ISTJs is that we are absolutely terrible at gauging how other people feel, so even if we think somebody likes us, we do nothing, because that's the safest course of action, and we're...
Those descriptions are not that detailed. This description of the ISTJ/SLI/ISTp and this description of the ISTP/LSI/ISTj are longer, meatier, and more detailed. It's easy to mistake a type for...
Where did you get the function stack Si-Te-Ni-Se? That's not possible in MBTI or Socionics. Socionics functions 1, 2, 6, and 5 = MBTI dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior, respectively. This...
I don't much relate to the bits about physical states; but if you edited the Si paragraph a bit, removing the word physical, then yes, I absolutely relate to it. I am very aware of what stimuli...
ISTJ here. Image 1: I like it. It reminds me of structure and of fall, which is a time of year I like. It makes me think of slow but steady growth. Image 2: This is my favourite. It's a complex...
It does, to an extent. It's not perfect, but it's far better than anything else I've read. I'd suggest reading through all of the different type pages, if only because it's interesting and the...
I think the descriptions are short-sighted. For me, Si demands a constant input of information. I often find myself staying up past midnight reading or working because I can't bear shutting down...
I like it. It seems very honest, like you're doing your best to reveal to others your own way of seeing the world, without pretension.
Those descriptions were not very accurate at all, because they look at surface behaviours and not their underlying causes. Loyalty and reliance on tradition are just a couple of possible...
...This is entirely accurate.
ISTJ. Atheist. I was raised an atheist. Having examined the facts, I see no reason to become religious. I find the concept of accepting an idea or ideology purely on faith, without logical or...
My ESTP dad taught me how to avoid taking things at face value, and to really think about things before accepting them as true (Se-Ti), which I've found to be an invaluable skill. He also taught me...
