What Hue are you?

I am a fan of color.
I look at the 16Personalities website and see the grouping of four in colors of;
Purple for Analysts
Green for Diplomats
Blue for Sentinels
Yellow for Explorers

This is fine! Though my curiosity is getting the better of me….
What if we applied cognitive functions to the color wheel?
My initial idea;

Intuitive and Observant is Blue and Orange
Thinking and feeling is Red and Green
Judging and Prospecting is Purple and Yellow
Extroverted and Introverted would then affect color saturation.

By placing yourself at the center of the color wheel to start, you would then move the position according to the percentage you are in each area.
For example;

If you got a 60% on the first one, you would move the position 60% towards the edge from the starting position.

This would be more easily done by those who are proficient in art, painting, mixing the different palettes together. In which I, am not.

THUS, applying this concept to computers, websites, CSS!
Which uses RGB (red, green, blue) but then how would this be implemented?

For each of these there is a 0-255. We start with each one at 128.
You apply your percentage to each one.
For example, if we keep Intuitive and Observant as “Blue”,
you would add your percentage if Observant and
minus your percentage if Intuitive.

Thinking and feeling would then be Red;
Feeling would add, and thinking would minus your percentage.

Judging and Prospecting would then be Green;
Prospecting would add, and Judging would minus their percentage.

Finally, extroversion and introversion would be based on saturation, but saturation is 0-100.
Start it at 50. Divide your percentage by 2. Then add if you are extroversion and minus if you are introversion.

The biggest issue with applying it this way is that INTJs would be dark and colorless.
Sorry INTJs!

Also missing an application for assertive and turbulent.

This idea came from watching the anime Psycho-Pass season 2.

I would also be interested in seeing how this might apply to people.
What is your favorite color? Would it align with the MBTI type you find most attractive?

For instance, intellectually, my favorite color is purple but I find solace in navy blue, forest green and maroon; all dark shades of color.

What is the MBTI of this YouTuber?

I'm curious, what is the MBTI of the YouTuber called Dr Izzy Sealey? Is she an ISFJ? I can't tell but I think she's Ti and Fe in her functional stack but not sure in what order. Thanks

What exactly is Ni?

I've been reading about cognitive functions for years now yet I still cannot wrap my head around what Ni is. Could anyone explain in a way that's a little more simple to understand? Or is Ni really just that complex that it just cannot be simplified?

infp males pls give advice!

A friend of mine (infp-t/february aquarius) recently confessed to me and now we're kinda dating. we'd talk so much online but we are unable to see each other irl that often. however when we do he'd sometimes give attention to my best friend like joking around with her with physical interactions sometimes. he does that to me pretty often too, but not sure if he often does this to others as well. somebody tell me if this is normal/pure friendship?? dunno what goes in infp/aquarius's mind. im currently trying to find a good chance to ask him but i am curious about other infps' views on this!!

What do "people" mean?

Test questions us about how we treat "people", but in real life it highly depends on what kind of relationship we have with a certain person, so how to answer these questions? For example, in an argument with a person that I like and/or respect I would likely take their feelings in consideration. In other cases I'd like to destroy the person if they are wrong. This kind of dilemma occurs numerous times in the test

How do you respond to Fe types when they automatically assign feelings?

A recent experience has me feeling perplexed. My mother (Fe type dom) became upset when I didnt entertain them. Being an INTJ is difficult enough, especially when you constantly disrespect boundaries, but to be fair, being unresponsive can have someone feeling upset.

The issue didnt become an actual issue until I was asked, point black, if Im in a bad mood or am I mad at them?? Being silent, reserved, unresponsive isnt a reflection of the person, at least not necessarily. I wasnt in the mood to entertain, Im sick, Im zoned out, Im sleepy. I didnt answer because how do you even respond to that when its always the same everytime Im in no mood?

I feel sonewhat bad because I should have explained but Ive already done so in the past. Now, my mom is upset and venting to my husband.

How to navigate this now? Should I just ignore? No amount of explaining will make her change. Been there, done that. Trying to develop my Fe but its difficult with people like that.

Which cognitive function or combination reflects about the intentions of people behind things they do?

I noticed that the first thing I do in any situation is reflecting about why someone did something a certain way and taking a conclusion out of it that may have no clear proof at all but I believe in it. For example: if I see a character design,I start wondering why is it that way then I imagine the creator thinking about what he wanted to transmit with that. If i'm reading a book I am constantly thinking about the author's thoughts and intentions by writing things the way they did. Its like I can naturally imagine the previous scenarios of people doing things. When I'm in a walk and see the houses,I can imagine how their lives in that place is. I'm doing it all the time,everything means more than what is visible to the eye

Is it possible for my mbti type to change?

I took the test a while back and received ENFP however after going through a lot of stuff (I’d rather not get into) I took the personality test again recently and got ENTP the description for both of them felt incredibly accurate at the time. But everywhere I look says that it’s impossible for it to change. am I simply an anomaly or has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Mac and Chess Thinking Theory

The mbti is a theory which is self described as subjective on an individual level.

Combined with the desire of human beings to create a ranking, which here implies social darwinism and the desire to be better.

We can clearly see that some types are better than others.

Introverted < Extroverted but extroverted can be a big pussy when faced with external threats. However, we are not looking for the types that would be stronger when faced with a downwards reality as we are looking for ambitious types, that would make it best in a successful reality. Because those types are the ones that expand upon that reality and end up bigger and bigger

Sensing < Intuitive While the average sensor may be better at picking up fights, the intuitive is a better story teller, better liar, better deceiver and Makes more Money.

While the sensor steals from your local walmart, the intuitive will steal old lady's purses and scam people on the internet, so we can see which one is better.

Thinking > Feeling. Feelers may be considered "good" as they are very attached to the things they value but ultimately a lack of attachment trives in the modern world.

The less attached you are, the better it is.

If you are not attached to the outcome, you are less likely to be frustrated by it, or to fail by fear. You'll just play your best cards and hope for the best.

You'll not be attached even to your life and personal well being. Which is clearly a benefit as we've all seen feelers make clowns out of themselves in the attempt of fulfilling their personal values.

Judging > Perspective. While the perspective types may become lazy entrepreneurs that make money that way, trying to find the easiest solution to a problem, the hard workers almost always get rewarded by the universe more.

Judgers are getting more fulfillment ultimately, making it a better life strategy.

The choice between judging and perspecting is ultimately yours.

Good luck

ENTJ complex feeling

I feel so lonely, lost and hungry for knowledge and influence but have no will and I feel so stupid for feeling like this. I have 2 character. One smiles but feels nothing when am in a social environment but only when am with my closest friends do I want their company. The other smiles when am alone and happy because I start making different scenarios and make fun imaginations to pass the time While also working. I don't know what to make of this am not sure how I should be feeling like this. That is why am seeking opinions and I seek guidance of whoever might know about this, and what I should be doing correctly.
