Guide to Writing a TypeMe Post
You can click here for these guidelines to open in another tab.
Note: these are not rules, but will be helpful in getting insightful responses. See the module titled "MbtiTypeMe Rules" for this sub's rules.
Minimum-length: Any written posts less than 1/2 page are not enough to be properly typed. No specified suggestion for video typings.
Elaborating on your answers is important. Try to answer questions with at least a paragraph. Proper typing is based off of your thought processes rather than behaviors. If you're not elaborating, Typers can't tell much.
If you're going to post your results from a cognitive function test, try to also add a description of yourself or answer some questions to give typers some context.
Although you don't need to use these questions when making a type-me post, they're here for anyone who needs a bit of a guide. No need to answer all of these questions either:
How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
Is there a medical diagnosis that impact your mental/comportamental stability somehow?
Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
What is your relation with movement and your surroundings? For instance do you prefer a sport or outdoors event? If an outdoors event what is it? And why? If not what type of activities do you tend to engage i?
How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
Do you need logical consistency in your life?
How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
What's important to you and why?
What are your aspirations?
What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
What do the "highs" in your life look like?
What do the "lows" in your life look like?
How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why would you?
What is the ideal life, in your opinion?

Can you guess my type according to this?
I'm 18 years old, I'm still in High School (Technical High School, Industrial Mechatronics), although i like the field, i don't see myself going in that direction. I will most likely end up in finance because I'm good with numbers and I feel really attracted to that field. At the moment, I'm working remote (sales) and I'm pretty good at it, i do it from the comfort of my dark room, and since the day i started working i developed my own methods and used the script only for the rules. Everyone else in the firm started copying my methods and they became more effective. I see that as an achievement, also the job pays me really well. I'm an intense person, always working on some side projects, i love learning and experimenting. I usually read books in my free time, grab a coffee or play some chess. I love rock, alt-rock, metal/heavy metal and listening to these genres kind of calms me. I love being creative and i usually come up with creative solutions that don't make sense at first but when they're put to the test they're always really efficient. I seriously don't know what else is there to be said so yeah have an amazing day if u're reading this.

please help!
so, i'm not gonna put any pictures of me because i'm not comfortable with that, but i'll give you some backstory.
i have been interested in mbti for a while now, but never have felt like i exactly fit one type, if that makes sense. most tests give me exxx, so the only thing i guess i am is extraverted (which i would agree with, but i don't know anymore because as i grow up, i feel i am becoming more introverted and prefer alone time for most of the day). i'm f16.
i do love being in the spotlight, i'm very into dance and performing overall. i'm fairly intuitive i feel, though then again, i really don't know. i feel very deeply, and am super connected with my emotions, often letting them control me (i have OCD), but most of the time when decision making, i think about the logical reason and tend to care more or less about the impact of others (again, depending on the people involved, time frame, etc). i see myself as the mother of the group, i naturally tend to take on a leadership role in almost every situation, even when surrounded by more experienced people. i guess i can be bossy and controlling, which i'm desperatly trying to overcome. pretty much every time when i make a decision, i end up regretting it. "if i had done this instead", "oh no! i didn't think about how ____ would be affected". most of the time it comes from me, wondering if the decision i made would benefit me or if the other option was better. i feel i am more judging than perceiving, but its weird because most of the time i am a messy type of person. nothing around me is put in the right spots, unless i get the sudden burst of energy. i tend to leave things until the very last minute. the reason i feel i identify more with judging is because of how i LIKE things to happen and appear (could be part of my OCD). i love organising so much when i do get the energy. making things neat and sorting, categorising, brings me so much joy. it's just when i'm forced to do it, i can't stand the thought of it (eg, cleaning my room because my mum made me).
anyways, here's some more trivial facts!
hobbies: dance, singing, writing, drawing, playing video games.
favourite artists: melanie martinez, chappell roan, rina sawayama and tv girl.
favourite food: dumplings.
favourite colour: red and purple.
any help or suggestions on my mbti type would be greatly appreciated!

PLEASE HELP ME TO TYPE MY FATHER
He makes decisions based on both feelings and logic. He’s bold in new situations and isn’t afraid to try new things. In the past, he tried to start his own business many times. He was really hardworking, involved in sports, especially wrestling, and always active. He had a lot of business ventures, but not all of them were successful. For example, he grew tomatoes and potatoes with a team, sold them, but the prices dropped that year. He also tried gold mining — it was somewhat successful, but he didn’t get rich.
In his youth, he had many adventures. He was a good student. He married my mom when he was 20 because his mother (your grandmother) fell seriously ill. Relatives asked him, “Your brother doesn’t want to marry, so how about we marry you instead?” And he simply agreed.
He can spend days at home doing nothing, but when he decides to work, he throws himself into it fully. He’s always coming up with new ideas to make money, like wanting to open a pastry shop.
He enjoys discussing religion and the supernatural, although he’s not very religious himself. He feels comfortable both in noisy groups and alone. He can talk for hours about things that interest him.
After going through stress and depression following a bankruptcy, he spent nearly the whole day lying around, doing nothing, and feeling pessimistic. But that only happened once. Usually, he’s very optimistic.
When he was younger, he was very confident: once he made a decision, no one could change his mind or stop him. Every couple of years, he has bursts of anger. He is pretty chill.
He’s an amazing cook. He was the mayor of our village for almost 10 years. As a mayor, he was fair and always tried to help people, never turning anyone away. Everyone loved him because of his kindness and honesty.But he quit because he couldn’t stand the corruption around him. Now, he works in cooking, and he enjoys it much more than being mayor.
He likes to take charge in certain situations and prefers solving problems on his own. He can’t lie, and he often trusts people, but he might not notice their flaws until he’s betrayed by them. Sometimes, he forgives and forgets people’s mistakes.
He’s a dreamer: he loves imagining how he’ll succeed by starting something new. He’s very versatile: he plays the guitar and dombra, made money in his youth by painting signs for school, and even wrote on gravestones. He’s also skilled with electricity and can fix appliances.
He’s critical of people with different views on life and can’t stand tears; they really get on his nerves. He’s serious and patient but not a pushover. If something bothers him, he’ll speak up about it right away.
Once, he sold 30-40 horses from his farm because his mom told him all his achievements were really his older brother’s doing (she said those horses belonged to his brother). He wanted to prove to his parents that he achieved everything purely through his own hard work.

Help me find my type
Can you help me to tell me my type?
Hello! I've been interested in MBTI long ago and I am curious to know what could be my type. I read so much about the types I just think few personalities fit me and depending on situation I feel like I change (which should be not possible)
First of all if I take those common 16 tests they 99.9% give me ISTP (one time ESTP and ISFP). Also it's very 50/50% when some tests show results (except P/J) If I do cognitive functions test I get strong ESTP. I do art and I like beautiful things (could be stereotypical) so I could be ISFP and lastly INTP also could be possible since I feel like I have good imagination usually. INFP is my last guess as well.
Thing is I have overdeveloped understanding of people and how they feel (I think) cuz I tend to analyse their body language, the way they speak and also past experiences. I am also a good listener I think and I don't fake my emotions around them. I am emphatic. I used to say cold things in the past, but I learnt what to NOT say anymore to upset anyone.
I tend to look at details understand how they work. I constantly burn food, break computers, fix them change stuff. I can do this one thing for hours even weeks if I feel like it.
I do think I am quite smart I like learning stuff, reading about it. Usually I learn alone though. But I do have set of hobies I do want to master.
I feel like I am ambivert but leaning towards introvert. I like being with people gives me a bit energy, then I just want to be left alone to recharge. Like a cat I guess.
I am a slow person I hate rushing things.
I am also quite clumsy and don't always see around me. Could be GenZ thing doing 100 things at once and 0 finish.
I am super disorganized, even when I take notes I don't do it or remember what I want to do. Could be lazyness.
Also I think I could be uncounsciously stuck in ISTP brain and after taking care on my mental health I guess I am more of a feeling type.
If you need details to once and for all tell my type, please give me some questions I'll be glad to answer! Thank you.

Confused on my type 😄
For preface, I am a teenage girl. I’ve known of Mbti for 5 years now, yet somehow I’ve never figured out my type. I constantly jump back and forth unable to make up my mind so I figure it’s better to let some beautiful internet strangers help me lol.
Ok so right off the bat I’d like to narrow it down a bit for you. I am fairly certain that I am not an se dom and most likely not fe dom either.
On tests I usually score intp, entp, entj, istj, infj, or istp. The most frequent are intp, entp, and infj.
To start off, I’ll describe myself in terms of how others say they see me. I’ve been told like 20000 times that I jump topics a lottt in conversation, but I often do not see it as a jump because in my head the two are easily connected and I assume the person listening to me is a mind reader, following every connection I make.
Additionally, I’ve been told by my infp sister that I’m too judgmental of others. This is because I am very vocal about everything that both bothers me and that I like. So I switch back and forth between super nice and super judgmental. When I am judgmental, the thing I am judging isn’t usually too big of a deal, but because I comment on it, it is assumed that it bothers me to the utmost extent.
I also like to argue quite a bit over trivial things which adds to the idea that Im super judgmental and secretly loathe everyone.
I have the tendency to assume everyone around me is a drug addicted dumbo (could be the fact that I’m in high school) until they prove that they actually value intellect. I do this same thing in my consumption of media. I assume every article is horribly unreliable until I read it and judge its reliability.
I tend to struggle with routine. I will want to do one but I can never stick to them. When I was younger I liked to make lists. I would plan out my day by the minute on these lists and end up doing something totally different than what was on the list despite being able to follow it if I had wanted.
I’d also like to talk about my style of humor because I find that it can be pretty revealing. I tend to make up a lot of imaginary scenarios when I joke. Ex.
Me: “imagine if xyy had happened instead of xyz.”
Other person: “Hahaha you’re so funny.” (People totally say this)
I also use a lot of sarcasm and insulting to closer friends.
When I am in a bad mood I become an extreme negative Nelly. I will nitpick and judge everything I don’t like openly. I promise I don’t lack empathy though. I truly do love people and I am very good (imo) at seeing many sides and perspectives, I just choose to ignore this sometimes. I think I blame their reactions on them like “they need thicker skin” but obviously the world would be a pretty bad place if we all constantly insulted each other without remorse.
As for topics of conversation, I’m not a big fan of contributing to conversations about drama or gossip because it genuinely has no relevance to me. I find it interesting to hear about, but like what am I supposed to say or contribute.. yk?
I tend to like anything I can argue about even if it’s something stupid. It makes the most interesting conversations because of how complex arguments can get ANDDD I LOVE coming up with cool perspectives and evidence for my side. I don’t even care if I lose the argument, I will admit my faults and take the new knowledge/perspective happily.
As far as aspirations go socially, I strive to be liked for my intellect. I will share things for the input of others to make myself feel good about my intelligence. I don’t think I am entirely reliant on others for confidence, but I definitely enjoy being the center of positive attention. Ironically, I’ve had crippling social anxiety my whole life.
In social situations with people I just met, I am a lot more careful. Instead of arguing everything I will be a total people pleaser with absolute zero personality.
My room is insanely messy looking but to me it’s sorta neat because I have a specific place for everything. It is pretty much organized by sections of chaos and to me this seems like enough but to my te using mother it’s a nightmare.
ANYWAYSSS, thank you so much for reading, even if you didn’t read the whole thing or skimmed.. I really appreciate it. If you could help me discern my type I LOVE YOU. Any comments would genuinely help me so much!! Have a great day/night/afternoon/non-time constrained juncture.
👁️❤️🐑 Eye heart ewe (I love you) ^ignore that but also don’t because it’s genius

I wanna know my true MBTI type
Hey guys. As the title says, I really wanna know my MBTI type accurately. I don't really trust the online tests. Like, how did you know your dominant or auxilliary, etc cognitive functions? Are there any tests you absolutely recommend? I would absolutely love a foolproof one. It bugs me that the results I get from online tests have varying results (INTP, INTJ, ISTP, INFJ). I take different tests every few months and noticed that my results do differ. Stereotypes don't help either. Thank you so much in advance.

can extroverts be socially awkward?
i can’t figure out if im an introvert or extrovert but am leaning slight more towards an extrovert. i don’t really have trouble going up to people and talking, but it’s so awkward. im not sure what to say or how to keep the conversation going, so it’s mostly the other person speaking 😭 i tend to click more with people who are super obviously extroverts
do extroverts do this at all or are they great socially?

Type Me please!
I am a female.
I tend to create schedules but not necessarily follow through, because ✨procrastination✨. My days go similarly, even though they’re not scheduled. I tend to do things at the last minute, though I’ve tried to be more disciplined. But when it comes to working with other people, I tend to ask for structure and organization.
I think I displayed signs of OCD when I was a kid, but I haven’t been diagnosed. My room used to be clean, though I’d shove my clothes into drawers untidily. My room right now is super messy.
My life was pretty unstable, but I’m trying to bring stability to it. I was raised highly religious; I’m not religious anymore.
I was an immense bookworm, and I enjoy writing and creating music. I like the mystery, action, and thrill genres. I’ve always been a storyteller.
I enjoy spending time with others and making social connection, but I need breaks to be myself.
I tend to be bossy when it comes to getting something done. But in social settings, I am shy and deferential (I was raised to be accommodating). I feel like a host, because I had to initiate and take care of people a great deal. People have come to me for advice, even though I’m 19 now. I was definitely mature for my age.
I emphasis comparisons and patterns a lot. I have an instinct/judgment about things— which isn’t always accurate— but can be perceptive sometimes.
I think I am pretty good at analyzing. I try to look at different sides of a matter.
I’m not very observant. Most of my activities tend to be related to the arts. I think I’m logical— but not in a mathematical way (that’s what my mom said).
I’ll answer questions, if that helps. Thank you for your time!

INTP vs INFP (or something else?)
For years I was typed as an INTP. Lately, if I do a test I type as an INFP.
I feel like I've grown as a person and a number of my values do align with INFP values - I care about the 'misfits' of society, I care about people's experiences. I am often a mediator, and known for being open-minded. I guess I do have a lot of feelings about art, and I'm known for being a little opinionated about art.
That said, I've never really felt like the kind of person 'comfortable' with people who have really strong feelings or who dominate conversation. I see it that INFPs are really confident about their emotions and 'know just what to do' in situations or know their emotional states and the states of others, but I often need to think quite a bit. In fact, it takes me a long time to decide on how I feel about certain things and I often feel wishy washy. And, if I can, I like playing devil's advocate and tossing around ideas and concepts with people - as long as they don't get too serious about it or start getting sincerely mad. When I was younger I was overwhelmed trying to deal with emotional situations, and nowadays people do 'turn' to me and I can do things like 'listen' or 'try to make someone laugh and get their mind off something' but I've always felt very uncomfortable with other people's emotional states. People feeling they can turn to me to vent is a relatively new thing in my life (and I'm now 30). In my 20s I was probably considered a little inconsiderate and harsh, quick to make fun of people's weak points or focused on being 'accurate'.
I find this shift in public perception/how people read me tough to sort out. I'd guess most people who know me today would probably agree with more of an INFP description for me, because I go out of my way to be accommodating and warm. However, that feels rather learned too, and it doesn't feel like something that comes naturally to me. But, yes, I do value people's feelings, their emotional experiences and where they're coming from in discussions... and I think those can have a lot of value.
I struggle when I read about the functions of Fi and Ti. They can mean a lot of things depending on the person, and while that's part of what makes MBTI theory 'fun' - that it's a loose system you can apply to a lot of things - pinpointing your own behaviour on that spectrum becomes difficult. I'm not a person for 'hard' logic - I like open-ended subjects like psychology. Supposedly, open-ended subjects around thinking and theory are something INFPs are supposed to struggle with due to Te.
I admit, I also come into this with a bit of a bias. I worry one reason I'm not fully considering INFP is because INFPs to me signal people who prioritize their own feeling or emotional experience above other people's. That said, when reading descriptions, the opposite seems to be true. INFPs seem to have a lot of understanding of their feelings, and it seems to be their primary function that they can rely on this. I can analyze my feelings and come to conclusions about why I probably seem to be feeling certain things, but I don't know if I have that 'gut' feeling.
