im really unsure about my mbti and i keep getting entj or entp or intj. entj is what i thought i was for a long time.

What are their strengths and weakness Do give real life examples if needed

Hey guys!
As a lonely INFP teenager, I´ m just wondering...
Where can I meet different people who are interested in all the MBTI stuff?
Where do you hide lol

I know this is kind of stupid to ask, because not many people are *that* into MBTI in real life, but I´ m just desperate to find other types, just to expand my knowledge. What would you recommend me I do to meet people who share your type?

I´d really love to meet INFJs, but I know you guys are hard to approach, so yeah,..
Any tips or websites would be very much appreciated

An annoying observation I've made is people automatically believe that Fe users (especially xxFJs) are people pleasers and hate conflict so much that they will allow others to disrespect them? I can recall when someone made a sly comment(s) about me and when I returned their energy they were trying to convince me that "You are definitely not an INFJ because they would never be 'mean' to someone and are too nice to reply negatively". Mind you: these people do not know me from Adam or Eve.

They spent a good amount of time trying to convince me that I was actually an INTJ 'disguising' as an INFJ. Sorry, but just because someone uses Extroverted Feelings, doesn't mean they will allow others to walk all over them. Having Fe doesn't mean you're a pushover/ people pleaser. It certainly doesn't mean you will allow others to disrespect you. Even Jesus flipped tables when Merchants were in the temple of God doing illegal activities. Sometimes we will get vexed with people and get pissed.

Everyone has bad days, it is not 'assigned' to cognitive functions. However, I ended up being the bigger person and apologised because I still dislike holding grudges and making others feel bad and thought it was never that serious. I don't know anyone who has never been completely adversed to arguing. Sometimes you have to stand your ground even if others won't like it. Feelers are not always nice and Thinkers are not always evil. That's why I try to let others know that having Fe doesn't make you perfect angels. We all have our bad moments.

Cognitive functions doesn't dictate how you behave all of the time.

Hello all. I was wondering if you guys have any life advice for an INFJ as another MBTI type. It could just be something simple, something that my type can work on. I am on a journey to improve all my functions and become more well-balanced. I would like to develop Se and Te more. I also desire to learn perspectives that aren't mine, whether it would be through Si, Se, Ne, Te, Fi, and the likes.

Any life advice or wisdom you’d like to share with me would be much appreciated!

I recently came across mbti and started researching the different types and their functions. I'm not sure what this might be related to, but I'm leaning more towards the Ni function. In different situations under different factors, suddenly there is a contact at one point that gives rise to this “insight” or “idea”, but it is more of a “feeling like I got a brilliant idea”, but I just cannot express it in words or understand it. This “idea” seems to be in my head and I know about its existence, but when I open the “box” there is nothing there, only the understanding that “it” is there. A reverse analogy with Schrodinger's cat paradox - this "idea" exists in my head until I think about it, as soon as I try to express it in words or somehow formulate it, it disappears. But that feeling of "this strange idea exists" is still there.

By the way, this has been happening throughout my life, now I’m 20.

I don’t consider this mystical in any way, I’m just not sure how it works yet.

Has anyone encountered similar phenomena personally? And can anyone explain what this is connected with?

1st time I took it I gotten an ISTP, 2nd time or 3rd I had taken it was something about an IFTP now this time I gotten an ENTP-A

TF is even my personality type??

Does the ability to make good comebacks have any influence on our cognitive functions? I feel like making good ones on the spot have to do with high Ne. When someone says something to me, I freeze up and literally cannot think of anything witty to say, yet I have a witty sense of humor. And when I get a good one, it randomly comes to me HOURS after it happened when I’m doing something like taking a shower or just thinking about stuff.

I've been interested in personality psychology for years now, since I was 14. (am turning 30 this year)

But over time I have realized I don't actually have a clue what my type is.

The main reason is due to my inability to answer relatively straightforward questions.

Take the similarminds test for example.

First question there is, "I try to follow the rules". Now, I don't really know what the answer to that is. I think I like to perceive myself as not being someone who cares very much about rules but to what extent is that really true? I think some rules are nice to have. You gotta have rules to be able to demarcate between things, to be able to define them.

I swear I'm not trying to be pedantic here. Every single question is like that for me. I just can't really answer anything for certain. Or even give a preference in a certain direction because I would be thinking of all the cases where the other direction is true for me and vice versa.

Anyone else has problems like this? How do you actually manage to type yourself in that case?

1 - Ti trickster

2- Te trickster

3- Si trickster

4- Fi trickster

5- Fe trickster

6- Ne trickster

7- Se trickster

8- Ni trickster

Let’s have some fun here. If each MBTI were an animal, what would be its sort of personality defense mechanism? For example, I’m an ENFP, and I think we best defend ourselves by speaking out, using our extroverted feeling and introverted thinking, by checking people who hurt or insult us quickly, with a slew of pointed emotional words. I could be wrong, but let’s go through the list and discuss.

Also have shared in another community, but i want to get yalls opinion on which is the best to type out my mbti

And yes i WILL research on it afterwards, but i am pretty much a lazy person who wants to keep things simple; dont hit me with the 'learn cognitive functions', please.

Will keep an update on my MBTI and enneagram to make sure, who knows

Can anyone suggest me a good test to finding my type. I always get entp but I found the questions incomplete. It's like always feeling that they could've asked a little more precisely and detailed.

Just want to seem smart and expert when O tell people their personality lol

Hey all, I am an ENTJ. Just took the test some days ago and found this subreddit just now. Am I a true ENTJ? I have some aspects of my personality here.

I have been in student government 3 times

Won multiple local and global writing competitions

I am like a student coach

I want to be a lawyer - primarily for the money and status but also because I like winning and debating

I am smart - top 3 in a class of around 36

I like reading books ever since I was a child

Now I know that ENTJ's are supposed to be like cutting and stuff but sometimes I find myself holding my tongue when friends or adults say something stupid. I would think the cutting or mean remark but not say it. I think it has to do with my mom as she is a very nice person and does not like me saying mean things. Does this mean i am not an ENTJ?

I like my friends but I realize most if not all of them are fake, and are using me because I am smart and nice. Does this mean I am not an ENTJ? How would other ENTJ's approach this?

I also love sports.

I set goals for my self both short term and long term

I also am working on my focus for school work but when I am driven no one can stop me and i'll be the best but sometimes I find it hard to get drive, how do I do that? I know if I tap into it all the time I will be practically unstoppable in my school.

I know no other ENTJ's in my life so any recommendations?

Thanks

I relate a lot to both fi and ti

If there’s something that you do admire

Si: earth, physical world, phenomenal world, form, matter, material, actuality, concrete, quantity

Ni: heaven, spiritual world, foundation, concept, ether, potentiality, abstract, quality, spirit

Ether (Ni) condensed, is Earth (Si). Quality expressing in the Quantity. The spiritual in the physical.

Ne—Se (the spectrum of difference in quality of form) show the Ni (potential, quality, ethereal) expressing in the Si (world of forms).

Ne is qualitative form. Se is quantitative form.

Ni, the Potential (the spiritual) —Si, the Actualized Potential (the physical).

Si, the physical world is in a spectrum; Ne—to—Se (Ne- the more qualitative physicality and Se-the more quantitative physicality).

Ne is Se, Se is Ne, difference is the quality of Si, either it displays more Ni or it is lacking in Ni.

Ni doesn’t exist in the physical world. It expresses itself in the Si. Ni users are in this sense Si users but lacking quantity, earth, and boundary, thus showcasing more quality, ether and expansiveness.

Si is Physicality (The Whole Universe); from the most visible (Se) till the least visible (Ne). Physicality is in a spectrum of perceptibility according to consciousness of the observer.

Densest physicality (Se), reduced in quantitativeness (Si), is Te, world of astral phenomena (super-physical). Emotion, desires, feelings are here.

Te reduced in quantitativeness (Si), is Ti, super-physical world of mental phenomena.

Reduction in quantitativeness is an increase in vibration or quality. Quantity is redundant with increased vibration, quality makes up for it. The super-physical is just as real as the physical, but according to the consciousness of the observer is his capacity for belief.

Fe is the qualitative aspect of Te. Te is quantitative even though less material than Se.

Te inclines towards external organisation to achieve— Fe, internal harmony (qualitative). This is an example of: the physical completing the spiritual or the quantitative existing for the sake of the qualitative. [The Quantitative does not exist for itself, it displays and grounds the attributes, the descriptions, the qualities, ie. The Qualitative. The physical completes the spiritual, it exists not for its own sake.]

Fe inclines towards spiritual (emotional) organisation and harmony, even if it has to upset systems, methods and guidelines (quantitative Te).

Fi is the qualitative aspect of Ti. Direct knowledge, innate understanding makes rationalisation and argumentation (quantitative) redundant. Knowledge (data, information) is required only to sustain and carry the underlying meaning and understanding (the qualitative), the letters are of no special worth. Fi is intuitive grasp, value-based, assessing the quality of something. Ti is logical deduction, systematic, and a means to (Fi) assessing the worth of something. Ti is quantitative, it must reach the qualitative (Fi) end and not get caught in endless philosophizing.

Everything we see is physicality, form-world, quantitative, the creation (Si). All quantitative things express qualities. Quantity is the dis-charge of the Quality. Physical is the display, the working out, the discharging aspect of the Spiritual, the charging aspect.

Ni (the spiritual or the Command), is the basis of all Creation (Si, all existence). The Command is the spiritual aspect to the Creation; Si (the physical aspect). The spiritual is the blueprint. Ni is the quality in quantity (Si). Si (form) expresses the Ni (soul). The physical expresses and completes the spiritual. The Creation exists because it is the Command (of God).

The spiritual is the cause, the physical is the effect. The spiritual is the expressive but it requires a grounding for its unfolding. The physical is the inert, and the ground for spirituality to work itself. The physical only exists as the materialisation of the spiritual. The actual exists as a realisation of a potential, not as a realisation of nothingness. Quantity (physical) needs something behind it to display what it is. These are the properties, attributes, descriptions; it is the Quality (spiritual) that is behind all manifestation. Existence (Si) is not an accident, it is a meaningful depiction. Physical world is the externalization of the spiritual. Physicality is materialisation. Of what; — of the Spiritual.

It may be difficult to grasp these things initially, because the reader must supply from his own understanding the meaning of the things he is reading. It is more like a belief system. The nature of truth (the spiritual) is that is requires no proof, it validates and does not require validation. The spiritual is manifest, the obvious and self-evident.

Hi I just found this sub and would like to share my store and have some questions been answered cause I’m new to this!

I’m in my last yeah of high school now year 12 and I really don’t know what I want to persui in life, my whole life I have been really quite academically stupid and never interested in any type of logistics or smarty stuff idk what to call this man.

A month ago or so I stubbled apon a book called surrounded by idiots and how it talked about understanding poeple by categorize them into 4 colours I read it fell in love and become very interesting.

Naturally I began to look for another book similar and was recommended by my phycologist friend Please understand me 2 and yes I love it as well but I’m very confused :/

I have memorised all the 4 temperaments and there 16 classifications but yet idk I feel like I don’t have a understanding of the basics.

So if anyone could recommend me another book (that is very basic) as I want to understand people and also could give me some tips about the basics of all this idk even what I’m learning to tell truth psychology, sociology?

Sorry it’s so long I want to understand poeple and read them and know what makes them tick but I feel like I’m punching above my wait in what my IQ can understand
