There's some information about intuition that is not being told in mbti community. God gave everyone intuition for a reason. It's hidden knowledge and creativity that God gives us. Intuition is also given us aso a guide to our higher self's and spirituality. Our intuition is a guidance to what's right or what's wrong, to give us warning signals when something is off, to give us information from God, to guide us to higher levels of awareness, to help our spirit to become awaken, and to connect more into the spiritual realm than physical realm.

The mbti website makes being a sensor (not listening to your intuition) sound normal. It's not normal to be a sensor. Sensing forcus on physical realm with our five senses rather than going spiritual by listening to our intuition(our six sense) . The physical realm is really just a illusion we are really spirits in a school to learn life lessons and to become like God.

(Se) which is Sensing Extrovert being overly attached to physical realm and physical pleasures like sports, games, inappropriate behavior is the lower self. The Adventurers types ESFP, ESTP, ISFP, and ISTP are too attached to physical realm and physical pleasures with low (Ni) which is to help us go to our higher self's and spirituality.

(Si) which is Sensing Introvert with low (Ne) is being less acceptable to new ways of thinking , change for God's kingdom and new things. The Sentinels types ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, and ISTJ are closed minded for newer ways of thinking and doing things with low (Ne) which is to help us be opened minded for new things and change God wants

(Ni) is intuition that is inside of us as a guidance to higher self, spiritual awakening and God.

(Ne) is open-mindeness so we'll be accepting to new ways of thinking and change so we'll be opened to God's new kingdom

The Adventurers with high (Se) and low (Ni) is the lower self. God didn't put us on this earth to be overly attached to physicality and play all day. This world and universe is a school for our spirits to learn and go higher levels of awakenings and consciousness. When we forcus to much on physical realm we are ignoring our real reason why we are here. We are here to become like our father (God) .

The Sentinels with high (Si) and low (Ne) is rejecting newer ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom we can't stay in our old ways. Our minds have to be renewed and opened to new things and new ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom he's going to make everything new and want people to be renewed in our thinking so we become new creatures.

One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Killing our intuition is a crime towards God and we can get into trouble. If we become darker and eventually end up killing our intuition we are setting up ourselves for death spirituality. Try keeping your intuition alive as it helps keeps you alive spirituality.

In the mbti community they took God out of the meaning of intuition and made it like a mysterious magical thing that pops out of nowhere. God gave everyone intuition as a guide to awaken the spirit. Introvert intuition(Ni) is the self-accusing spirit that is inside of all of us in hopes we listen to it to awaken the spirit. The more we listen to it the stronger the voice becomes and the more awakened we become spirituality.

The mbti community made it seem like it's normal for us to ignore our (Ni) so we can stay asleep and be dead spirituality. It's not normal for us to ignore our (Ni) it's the inner guidance for spiritual awakening, God, and higher self. (Ni) is not only just a gut feeling that warns us when to stay away from trouble it's also our self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong and gives us guilt when we do something bad.

When we do evil and feel guilty about it that's our (Ni) talking to us and it shows we are spiritually awake but when you can do evil and feel nothing that's a sign of lack of (Ni) and spiritual blindness/death.

I noticed there are a lot of fake intuitives in the mbti community. People think being a "intuitive" makes them special because they "choose" to listen to their intuition. Everyone has intuition. Intuition is not only for a few people or small group of people. Everyone has it. Intuition is listening to our nature we were created/self-accusing spirit in hopes we come back to our nature which is obedience to God. Our nature is to be righteous and submission to God. Listening to your intuition doesn't make you better than other people.

Some fake intuitives only want to listen to their intuition so they can feel special and smarter than others. That's not what intuition was made for. Intuition was made to awaken the spirit so we can become God and reach higher levels of awareness. It seems like most "intuitives" only wanted to listen to their intuition for negative purposes and to make themselves feel special. Being a "intuitive" doesn't mean being interested/studying in science, computer programming, abstract conversations, meaningful conversations and etc.

A real "intuitive" is someone who is in complete submission to God. When you submit yourself to God your self-accusing spirit/intuition becomes stronger and your spirit will be wide awake.

Intuitives can also lose their intuition and become sensors. When we become dark and evil our intuition gets weaker and we lose our creative powers. The darker we become our intuition gets weaker and if dark enough we could end up also killing our intuition. God doesn't give intuition to the wicked and the rebellious . Intuition is for the righteous and was made to keep us spiritually awake. When someone ignores their intuition or becomes dark they go into sensor mode which is spiritual blindness.

When we become evil and in rebellion towards God we lose

1. (Ni) which is to help keep us spiritually awake. Losing (Ni) causes spiritual blindness and keeps our spirits asleep and dead
2. (Ne) which is to help us be opened-minded to God's new ways of thinking. Losing (Ne) causes us to lose our creative powers and become rejectful of God's new thinking

There are a lot of fake INFJs, INTJs, ENTPs, ENFPs, etc. INFJs/INTJs with (Ni) as their dominate function means they should have a strong self-accusing spirit and should be spirituality awake. If you see a INFJ/ENFJ/ENTJ/INTJ that can do evil and feel nothing or in rebellion towards God that's a sign they completely lost their (Ni) and they are no longer an INFJ they are a sensor(spiritual blindness). When we disconnect ourselves from God or in rebellion we lose (Ni) or it gets weaken. Listening to (Ni) Is listening to the nature of ourselves (self-accusing spirit) which is obedience to God

Same thing that there are a lot of fake ENTPs, INTPs, INFPs and ENFPs claiming they have (Ne) as their dominate function. When we are in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

There are a lot of fake intuitives that would act like the type, so called claim they are "trying" to listen to their intuition for negative purposes, and study abstract ideas just so they have feel special and have a title of being smart. The one's who think just because they "choose" to listen to their intuition that they are better than other people are really sensors and fake. God does not like proud and arrogant people. When we become arrogant we shut off knowledge and lose (Ne) and (Ni) . If we want a strong intuition we must be humble and submit to God . God doesn't give intuition to the proud, arrogant, and rebellious people

The N > S is better is really silly and foolish. Intuitives think just because they have more knowledge and so called "trying" to listen to their intituion are better. Sensors can gain strong intuition too and become intuitives too if they choose to submit to God and finally listen to their intuition. One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Not listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Anyone can become great and smart when they choose to listen to their intuition. God wouldn't make only a few people "special" and leave the rest out. Then it would make God unfair and unjust. Anybody can become smart, great, have creative powers, and do great things because everyone has intuition. God gave everyone intuition not only a small group of people. Any sensor can become great and intuitive if they choose to listen to their intuition. God wants all of his children to become great and intuitive. He wouldn't favor only a few people and leave rest of his children out

We are not supposed to listen to our intuition just to get a special title type, to feel superior, to feel smater than others, to feel special, and for many other negative purposes. We listen to our intuition to become one with God, come back to him and become spirituality awaken. The Inuitives that are arrogant, proud, rebellious towards God, evil and dark are not inuitives they are fake. They just want a title(N type) to feel special and superior to others. Intuition comes from God. The creative ideas, the gut feeling, the hidden knowledge all comes from God. When we disconnect ourselves from God and in rebellion towards him we lose our powers/intuition. The "real" intuitives are the righteous and ones who are in submission to the will of God.

There are a lot of fake physics, fake coming up with ideas, and fake "i have a strong intuition" in the mbti community. People think being good at science, history, computer programming = having a strong intuition. That's not intuition it's just you being good at a topic or subject. And fake physics that are evil and in rebellion towards God are not physics they are just using witchcraft. Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition it's satantic. There's a lot of so-called "i found the hidden meanings" in the community. Their so called "getting hIdden information" are coming from fallen angels/demons they are not getting it from God nor their intuition. The so-called "I'm coming up with all these ideas " If they are evil and in rebellion towards God those "ideas" did not came from their intuition it was stolen. When we are evil and in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition. Studying science/abstract stuff and being good at a scientific subjects is not intuition. Stealing other people ideas and claiming it as yours is not intuition. Being spiritual, growing in stages of spiritual growth and being in submission to God is intuition.

It seems like everyone want a strong intuition but you can't have a strong intuition if you are evil or in rebellion towards God. To get a strong intuition we have to connect ourselves with God and go up levels of self spiritual development. The more we connect ourselves with God and develop our spirits the stronger our intuition becomes. The more we disconnect ourselves from God and not develop our spirits the weaker our intuition becomes.

Do not try to listen to your intuition for the purpose of wanting to feel superior to others or feel special. God wouldn't only make a few people special and leave the rest of his children out. God is just and treats all of his children equal. People in the mbti only want a strong intuition only so they can brag about it and feel special. God does not give people a strong intuition if they are proud, arrogant and only want to listen to it for selfish/negative intentions.

The definition of intuition had been oversimplified to just "gut feeling" and "coming up with idea's". Intuition is more than just " gut feeling " and "coming up with idea's" . Intuition is the self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong, it's our key to spiritual awakening, to help us see things clearer(coming out of spiritual blindness), and to help connect ourselves to God. God had been completely taken out of the definition of intuition and been limited to just listening to your gut and coming up with ideas. Listening to your gut and coming up with new ideas is just the basic levels of intuition. There are higher levels of intuition. The more our spirit is developed and more we connect ourselves to God our intuition gets stronger and we grow into higher levels of intuition. When we go into higher levels of intuition we start seeing things brigher, clearer and grow into more self-awarness. The more when we don't develop our spirit and disconnect from God the more our intuition gets weaker and we come into spiritual blindness and don't see things clearly.

There are a couple of agents and fake intuitives in the mbti community. The ones that would say "it's okay to be a sensor" , "being a sensor is fine" or "everyone is just different. When someone chooses to ignore their intuition" are agents and snakes that what you to stay into spiritual blindness. They don't want you to wake up to what's really going on and want to keep you in the dark.

The mbti community took God out of intuition and made it a "how we see the world" or intuition is a "cognitive function". I could tell the people who made the mbti website are atheism because they are deceiving a lot of people and don't want people to wake up on what's really going on. They hide the true meaning of intuition because they want everyone to stay asleep and be dead spirituality. The post is not a religion thing it's to get people to wake up spirituality. Submitting to God is not a religion it's a way of life and our nature

I’m 24 and all I’ve ever spent time on is my career in engineering, which has landed me a whopping 9-5 boring office job.

I crave creativity, and I love watching other people succeed in it. Movies, music, art. I love sports and just generally all things awesome. I’m decent at sports but I’d love to have a creative output somehow. I’ve tried a few things but never been very good at them, nor have they been that enjoyable.

What do you guys do for creativity?

Do you tell people? Write them down? Keep them to yourself? I always have ideas and philosophies that come from hours of thinking and reading, but I never tell them to anybody. Sometimes I write some down, but I never say anything about them. Even now I don’t really feel like sharing. What do you guys do with your thoughts.

I’d say as ENTPs we’ve all noticed that we are weirdly good at stuff we put our minds to. But that’s the caveat, the stuff we PUT our minds to. Why must all my genius be in niche novel stuff instead of practical actual useful interests and wants.

WHY MUST I BE OBSESSED WITH MODDING OLD HANDHELDS INSTEAD OF LEARNING HOW TO PROGRAM OR WOODWORKING?!?!

I’m posting here right now but refer to a previous post I made but this is what true self love is all about. Guarding yourself and realizing you’re capable of adding meaning into the world. It’s realizing how much control you truly contain. It’s both scary but at the same time so fucking beneficial for your mental well being. Yes people can be backstabbing conniving sons of bitches. Trust that your contributions can cause benefit to the world. Always keep your fucking guard up, just do it because people realize how much power you contain. Looking back people have made weird remarks to me like them seeing potential in me and what not.

People don’t want you to beat them so they won’t admit your potential directly. Realizing your own potential is only something you and someone who genuinely truly loves you will do. Because so many people are selfish they keep their mouths shut when they see you winning. I have power and I always have and I’m finally understanding it. My own unique perspectives have meaning in this world and I have reason to live. I love my mind, I love my capabilities and this is valid. It’s good and a natural byproduct of hard work. It truly is lonely at the top and it’s all due to my own desire for perfection.

My old and new tests resulted as ENFP but I am told because I evaluate situations logically and because I argue, Is it common to be an ENFP to figure out that you are an ENTP.

Update: She just told me that I am an ENFP where the F stands for "Fuck You"

I have pretty developed fe at this point. Which is a blessing and a curse - a blessing because I can help more people, but also a curse because now I truly see bad stuff in other people like all the time and I can’t turn that shit off. I feel more and more isolated. Also because I try to hold space for people around me all the time, but I guess because I’m a thinker, people don’t really ever hold space for me or expect me to be dead inside or act like the sarcastic jokester that I usually am.. like get over it! It’s frustrating and I don’t really know how to cope with it. Anyone else?

Critiquing the most obvious ‘worst parts’ of all the MBTIs based on their stack. I’ll do it in each sub including my own.

I don’t know if it’s a good idea- but I’ll throw a tedious one out there.

I’m beginning with ENTP (myself)

Here’s the breakdown of ENTPs and their arrogance:

Ne- ENTPs pride themselves on their ability to generate ideas and explore possibilities, but this often morphs into intellectual arrogance. They see themselves as visionaries and dismiss others’ perspectives as limited or dull. Ne makes them chase novelty for novelty’s sake, leaving projects unfinished and dismissing those who value consistency as unimaginative.

Ti gives ENTPs sharp logic, but it’s often wielded cruelly as a weapon. They use it to tear down others’ arguments, not to seek truth but to win. They love to play devil’s advocate, often coming across as contrarian just for the sake of showing off their mental agility. Their Ti arrogance leads them to believe they’re smarter than everyone else, even when they’re winging it.

Fe often makes ENTPs overly concerned with how they’re perceived (we’re vain), leading to performative charisma. They charm others not out of genuine care, but to feed their ego and maintain their reputation as the clever, entertaining one. They can be manipulative, using social dynamics to bolster their superiority complex.

ENTPs’ weak Si makes them dismiss tradition, routine, and past experiences as boring or irrelevant. They scoff at those who value stability, seeing themselves as above mundane details. This arrogance often backfires, as they fail to learn from past mistakes or see the value in grounding their big ideas in practical realities.

ENTPs’ cognitive functions fuel an arrogance rooted in their need to feel intellectually superior and endlessly unique. Their Ne-Ti combo drives them to dismiss others as unimaginative or wrong, while their Fe charms others into validating their ego. Weak Si ensures they overlook the value of structure, consistency, and reflection, leaving them overconfident and often ungrounded. They’re clever, but their arrogance blinds them to the limits of their own knowledge and abilities.

Do any of you ENTPs struggle with mindfulness? I'm trying to determine which mbti might struggle the most with this as its something I've noticed in myself...

The best way I can explain struggling with mindfulness is being overly chaotic, loud, having zero filters, funny/dark humour, overly disturbing to people, thinking everything is a playful joke/making everything a playful joke.

I guess an asshole? I'm not really sure.

But in hindsight, I used to be exactly like this and can still be like this if I'm comfortable around a small group of people. It's just now I really struggle to be myself though because I fear the embarrassment or looks people give me when I actually am myself. Thus, making me quiet, dried, cold, and to the point. admitting to the fact that I don't want to be close to people or face the same embarrassment.

which makes me think I'm in a loop of some sort.. because I'm definitely not the person I used to be, and when I do tests I keep getting INTJ. ---which idk... seems like a stretch to me.

(reading this over a couple of times, I might be in an Si loop. --that fourth paragraph suggests the dwelling of the past resulting in a change of identity. so as a verdict, I may have solved my own problem, possibly suggesting ENXP in SI loop. but for research's sake, please give me your thoughts.)

Just another young ENTP trying to find footing in a career. I studied human biology and psychology in undergrad and definitely fall hard in line with typical ENTP traits of being motivated by curiosity, seeing patterns, identifying inconsistencies within a system or argument, and I'm sensitive to social cues/group dynamics so figured sales is a good start out of college. I just have a hard time with interviews and presenting myself confidently. Not sure how to play on my strengths outside of describing my minimal work experience. Is medical/pharmaceutical sales a good path for an ENTP?

Hi, i’m 22 (M) looking for ENTP friends. I want to know how friendships go with this personality type. :)

What do you think is the best song to play on a close associate's funeral?? One of my best choices are:

1. staying alive
2. I'm still standing

How does it look to not have Fi (Introverted Feeling)? Ive seen so many definitions of Introverted Feeling. I am not even sure of what it is yet.

If you were in a relationship with a lovey-dovey verbally and physically affectionate xNFx, would you naturally reciprocate with the same expression of love, or find other ways to reciprocate (e.g. practical gestures, etc.)?

I rarely come across ENTPs in real life {an actual ENTP, not a mistype, or self-proclaimed ones}, where do you guys hide usually?

Hello brothers in NTP. I could use your advice

Me (f INTP) and a male ENTP were dating casually over the last year. He was (as it seems common on this sub) a bit of a prankster, and me in my INTP ways probably didn't chat with him as much as he needed and kept my distance, because he seemed flighty, couldn't be vulnerable with me, and seemed to bounce around relationships, so i kept my distance so I wouldn't get hurt. When we broke up, he asked "do you even like me?", while I thought this was obvious. I feel a bit sad and wonder if I pushed him away. He continued to text after we broke up but I'm not sure why.

He still watches, likes, and has reached out in my DMs, but i don't reply quickly cause I figure he just wants the attention. We're both in our 30s, he's English, I'm American, and I'm a few years older than him, if that matters.

Anyway, I don't understand you guys - what could I have done differently not to scare him away? Is his reaching out an attempt to reconnect or should I assume he's back to his prankster ways?

In any case - still love you guys. You're so funny and wonderful.

• An INTP

every time I get in the elevator, I just start laughing for no reason. Like, the silence and that weird white noise sound goofy as hell 😭. I have a tendency to just spontaneously laugh.. I find the smallest things funny like a piece of bread falling, or if I just stare at my bro for too long, I’ll lose it. My brain keeps turning everything into a joke. Even in class, I can’t focus. My prof called me out the other day cause I was laughing at some random phrase he said, and it reminded me of a Dreamybull ambasing reference or some shit 😭. My brain is always looking for funny patterns or absurd stuff, even when my friends are just saying normal things. I can’t stop myself from connecting it to something ridiculous, When in my calculus class I just can't stop my self imagining funny shit like a cat Hitler, gorilla having sex in front of tourist, etc... and I just can't focus. And my friends are actually worried about me and asking if I am ok

Sometikes I'm not sure if I'm an ENTO but this is something I wonder if ENTPs can relate to or if I'm just a complete psychopathic monster. For several months at work, I pretended to have a four year old daughter for lolz. It started with a game I was playing at the bookstore where I worked. On a slow day, I challenged my coworkers to give me a book title that I would have to integrate into my conversation with the next customer to walk through the door.

This was like 8 or 9 years ago now so I don't remember many specific examples, but like one of my coworkers picked Sarah Silverman's "The Bedwetter" and so I awkwardly framed a horror book I was recommending as a "Bedwetter of a book". Anyway one of the trickier titles was "A Different Kind of Daughter" and so I told a fake anecdote to a customer about my fake daughters love of a weird book before saying: "Yeah, she's a different kind of daughter!"

Anyway everyone was amused by this, and began to invent details about my daughter, and it became this weird inside joke that never died, and the lore kept deepening. Like several coworkers even knew her fake birthday and for a few years those coworkers would jokingly wish my fake daughter a HBD on my Facebook wall as a goof. It confused my mom to no end.

Anyway when we hired a bunch of new seasonal people for the holidays that year, I thought it would be funny to talk about my fake daughter from time to time to the newbies as if she was real, saying stereotypical parent things, playing this exhausted girl dad character, never really dreaming the charade would last beyond a shift or two, but it lasted for a couple months.

The existing team somehow also thought it was a funny idea, and they began chiming in and telling stories about my daughter as well, even when I wasn't around. I even convinced the cleaner to ask about my daughter and swap stories about his real kid for stories about my fake one. He thought it was funny and so in my mind it seemed okay because everyone was on board.

The new staff would occasionally politely inquire about my daughter and I'd make up some preposterous detail like being a single father after my ex wife Esperanza left us and went to Finland. I honestly just couldn't believe people kept buying these stories. I guess people just thought it was too fucked up a thing to invent so they assumed it must be true.

I occasionally went too far and would be asked about her clothing size or something and I had no concept of what size a kid would wear lol But still it wasn't enough to collapse the story.

Anyway eventually someone spilled it to the new people I didn't actually have a daughter and most of them didn't think it was a big deal, but one of them was shocked and told me she had felt personally invested in my fake child. She was upset. I felt bad, but in my mind they were all passing through, and it wasn't hurting them, I wasn't using the daughter to my advantage or anything, it was just funny to me. I hadn't really thought very deeply about it, it was just something to amuse and challenge myself with.

Now that I'm in my thirties I do see that it's kind of messed up, but on some level I think it's fairly harmless.

It strikes me as a good example of something an immature ENTP might do. I don't think I would do something like that ever again, but that version of myself is not unrecognizable or repugnant to me. I swear I'm a good citizen otherwise, and generally do my utmost to help and not harm and give people accurate information when it will be of use to them. But I think I still have this tendency to toy with people without their knowledge, in frivolous ways that won't hurt them, mostly because I'm bored.

I accepted last night after multiple conversations with my mother, whose mental health is declining more and more every day, that I am not doing as well as I could be doing now that I have been out of high school for a year because of my family and life experiences. I am working (second job I’ve had since graduating from high school as a behavioral technician, which I am actually really enjoying) and taking community college courses, but I feel as though if I hadn’t experienced so much trauma, I would be doing even better. Sleeping better, more comfortable with the idea of using the money I’ve saved up (nearly $22k, and my father owes me some more since he started taking from my bank account when I was seventeen without my knowing) to move out. Since I grew up with so little of it, I am very careful about saving money.

I have also begun to notice that I have recently been surprisingly calm while watching my mother’s mental health deteriorate. Last night, she stayed up very late - until 6am, actually - talking to herself, yelling aloud throughout much of the day yesterday, about how my father and aunt “set her up.” She suggested to me that she believes they have been working together, that both are involved in awful things because this is what her tarot cards told her (sex trafficking.) She believes they both “manipulated” my brother and I into turning against her. She also revealed something very dark about my grandmother. It really is a lot to take in, and I have to say that I’ve been coping by trying my best to avoid thinking about it. When I have thought about it, I’ve thought about how really, I need to work towards obtaining a college degree and figuring out what I want to do longterm to better my chances of getting away from all of this. I haven’t cried over it or anything, though. Although I may be wrong for this, I actually tried to refrain from laughing at points when hearing what my mother was saying about my father and aunt being involved in such horrific things because it’s all just so absurd. All of it. My family, that is. I actually do believe my mother about some of the things she’s said my father and aunt have done (that my father took a lot of her money, that my aunt stole her ID years ago) and I know that I should really encourage her to seek out some mental health support. But I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t a lot to deal with, because it is. And I’ve been dealing with it by trying my best, actually, to not think about it even though I know that what she is saying is… well, extremely dark. Deep down inside I’m worried about it, but I probably look or seem calm on the outside.

My mother described me as being cold towards her. I think I am, because I know that her energy is off. I do admit that I think I distance myself from my mother somewhat. I feel that she is a bad person, more bad than good, in spite of the fact that I believe most people simply don’t have good morals as opposed to being “bad.”

I have been told that I, for the most part, come off “normal” in spite of what I have experienced over the years. I looked rather sad in high school at times, though. I know that my family is “abnormal.” I think that in my case, it helps that my childhood (5-10) was more stable.

I have started studying ahead of time for an exam I’ll need to take for my job in order to receive a $2/hr raise. I try to study a little bit every day, and I actually have taken the practice tests so many times that I now “remember” the answer to certain questions. I need to find a different way of studying, and I know it.

I actually presently quite like my job. I’ve had a client for a little over a month at this point. I find the principles of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) fascinating and I love that I have a job wherein I am able to help others. I worked the longer shift last week and enjoyed it for the most part. I have tended to ask my BCBA’s a lot of questions in the group chat since I started working with client (what protocol is when client climbs on table/how to safely get them down, questions about whether or not I’m scoring something correctly, etc.) I honestly did this often at my former job, too. It frustrates certain people, but I wouldn’t want to risk a child getting hurt in my care nor get in trouble for doing something wrong and I do believe that asking questions is what helps one become better at their job.

Something I’ve noticed is that as I grow older, I feel like I’m calming down. I don’t know what it is. Well, actually, if I had to guess, it might have something to do with my brother not living with us anymore. I actually had quite a bit of sympathy for him between the ages of 16-17 after realizing how abusive our parents had been towards him… but I’d be lying if I said that the way he behaved when his own mental health was declining didn’t unsettle me. Things I can’t even talk about because of how bad they were. I’ve also tried my best to stop thinking about him as much as I’ve become an adult, even though it may not be fair, because I think that for me, it really is healthier.

I understand that it is best that I do not have a boyfriend, because with my trauma and family issues, I know that the relationship is bound to fail. I am ISFJ.

Any ENTPs on here have an ENTJ SO? I guess I’m interested to hear what it’s like to be with one, because I’m attracted to them and want to know what I’m getting myself into.

i feel like i'm stuck in a cycle where i just hop between Ne-Fe and Si.

Ne-Fe making me so scared of opening up to people, cause it's never ended well in the past. When i do open up to people, i end up saying things with such intensity that it just pulls people down with me, into my pit of hopelessness.

and the Si grip is like - i can't take care if myself. i forget to. and i feel like i need to freak out and wreck shit, but i can't.

everything's been so monotonous and i feel like i'm losing it. every day is the same, and my stupid mental health keeps poking its head in at the worst times.

couldn't sleep last night cause i was fantasizing about doing something really bad (ending it all) and i was really tired this morning - and still feeling like shit - so i skipped work today. called in sick.

there's no way i'm gonna be able to hold a job if i take as many mental health breaks as i need. i need too many. i can't function like this and i'm running out of options.

i went to chatgpt to talk about those s**cidal fantasies, because i hate talking with people who don't understand them. it helped me to analyze it and make sense of it. i asked it to link the details to my cognitive function stack, because that's something i understand well.

the fantasy involves me driving recklessly on a highway, but remaining calm, and ultimately, crashing. i described the whole scenario to chatgpt in detail, and it gave me this.

"Your Ne craves stimulation, novelty, and excitement, which might be why the idea of being reckless with your life on the line feels so exhilarating. The recklessness of the scenario satisfies a need for intensity and breaks the monotony."

"The Si aspect could be tied to wanting to feel something deeply—pain becomes a tangible sensation that interrupts the dull routine. It may also connect to memories or subconscious associations with feeling alive or present only in moments of heightened emotion or physical experience."

i guess it kind of helped. not really sure though.

i guess i'm here looking for people who would understand. mentally ill ENTPs who over-analyze everything.

After about 2 years of researching the MBTI, I gave up on trying to fit into a single type. I went through all the dominant intuitive types, trying to find myself, but I always ended up changing my mind when I discovered new information.

My Jungian type is ENTP (based on the last test I took and several others from different periods (on the MBTI tests some came up as INTP, ENTJ and INTJ too, but mostly it was ENTP on both methods)).

However, I do NOT consider myself to be such a disproportionately more logical than emotional person, so I have a lot of doubts about perhaps being an INTJ, which is the shadow of the ENTP. The functions are mirrored and work similarly, but the end results are different. I'm having a really hard time discerning, even though it seems obvious to me, that it's not, since I'm trying to identify myself.

How do you differentiate between a real ENTP and a real INTJ? Where is the key point that makes the obvious difference between the two? Both have their artistic sides, both are logical, curious, have problems with reality and the flawed system, hate taking orders from people they don't consider suitable for the position, it's very difficult for me to differentiate just by (Ne)+(Ti)+(Fe)+(Si)/Ne-Fe (Si Grip) or (Ni)+(Te)+(Fi)+(Se)/Ni-Fi (Se Grip).

Edit1 - I'm getting some great questions! Thank you so much, I'm feeling more comfortable with your answers 🥰

Edit2 - As incredible as it may seem, I'm getting opinions and guesses for both types, I was right to doubt this (I asked this same question in 3 subreddits to get different answers and I'm being instructed for both ENTP and INTJ, apparently I'm well balanced between the two, it's difficult but I'm trying to focus on the differences).

Let me know in the comments so actually everyone will know.

This specific combinations seem to be pretty.. paradoxical, so I would like to know what it's actually look like!

The other reason is that I try since a long time to find my MBTI type... And while doing a sakirnova test, I got ENTP as first results. Pretty surprised since ENTP seem somewhat the opposite of me at first sight (conflictual when I'm not AT ALL, lack of empathy when I'm (somewhat) very empathic.)

But I'm pretty sure that my eneagram is 9w1/9w8 so I look a bit on the dear internet for ENTP with eneagram 9, and it's looked very similar to what I'm...

But I would like to hear from you, what it's look like because I'm still confused... x)

( and some typing help would be liked, but I'm not sure it's allowed here... + don't feel forced about this REALLY)

one of the things I’ve always grappled with is the internal war between my chaotic mind and my relentless need for truth. Sure, lying to others may come easy in a pinch—it’s a short-term hack, a tool in the arsenal for navigating tricky situations. But lying to myself? That’s where I hit a wall.

I think it’s because I’m constantly analyzing, questioning, and debating every thought that crosses my mind. My brain doesn’t let me rest until I’ve dug to the bottom of the “why” behind every decision or belief. It’s like there’s this little voice in my head that refuses to accept any half-truth or self-delusion. If I try to lie to myself, that voice demands evidence, calls me out, and pokes holes in my story until I’m forced to face the truth.

Sometimes, I really wish I could take things about myself with a grain of salt. It’s not that I don’t appreciate my self-awareness—it’s a core part of who I am—but there are moments when I envy how easily others, like my ENTJ dad, can just lie about himself and not feel the crushing guilt I do when I even think about doing the same.

Don’t get me wrong—his ability to gloss over the truth isn’t something I admire in a moral sense. But there’s a part of me that wonders what it would be like to have that freedom, to silence the voice in my head that constantly demands perfection . Sometimes, I wish I could just tell myself I’m “good enough” at something and believe it, instead of feeling the need to dive deep, analyze, and measure myself against "impossible" standards (and I say “impossible” with quotes because, let’s be real—everything I’ve ever wanted to achieve, no matter how impossible it seemed, I’ve somehow managed to pull off whenever I get the random yearly urges of determination)

I keep seeing comments on ENTPs not fit for large corporate environment - curious if anyone actually thriving in corporate America? if so, what do you you and what makes you successful?

I work in med device and have always been with large pharma/med device corporates. I have been doing fairly well, and really enjoy what I do and the industry. I started in marketing, and moved to sales management, and now in business development. I’ve been having a fairly successful upward career track in those areas. I do notice that I tend to fake it to be an “ENTJ” while at work and I get bored easily in one role — which served me quite well in front of the “senior leadership” as someone who wants to be challenged and embracing a growth mindset (while in reality I just tend to get bored ). I always volunteer to take on challenging tasks, and I love the people aspect of a large corporation - the networking, the influence, the team management, and the “game” you play. I have been commented on by my colleagues that I can easily influence others (I most of the time just find a bunch of ISTJs and try to “inspire” them by using highly conceptual and big pictures terms so they work for me really well). Being a female minority (yup I love playing that card lol) and with all my qualities as a creative and outspoken and energetic maniac and the way I fake myself to be a type A person, I feel like I’m born to thrive in corporate America.

Anyone else having the same experience?

From cognitive functions I learned i'm INTP or ENTP but I'm still unsure between the two. I talk a lot to people I feel comfortable with. When I'm with someone I know well, I am very open, also to friends of them and I can talk pretty easily even if I didn't know the friends before. but when I'm with people were I don't know anyone or I get the feeling they don't want me to talk I completely shut down. Then I can come across as quite shy, and people find me weird or a bitch because of my resting bitchface :(. I don't have many friends and I'm fine with being on my own, I usually even enjoy it more and go out as little as possible but if my friends initiate to do something together I always say yes and I enjoy meeting with them. I also have ADHD and fit that stereotype pretty well. I'm always very enthusiastic when telling about new things I learned or new hobby's I started. I love debating all kind of topics and playing devil's advocate but through the years I learned it's better to try not hurting people's feelings. I'm also kind of a people pleaser which maybe doesn't really fit with being an ENTP? Does anyone know if I can be an ENTP?
