ENFJs

- Start date
Being an ENFJ would explain why...
I have a pathological attraction to INFPs, and vice versa
I have a titanic clash with most of the ENFPs I know (actually they clash with me, much to my surprise)
I instantly click with every ENFJ I have ever met
I adore INFJs and understand them so well
I am naturally fluent with a lot of physical activities (tertiary Se)
I have to focus so much in order to use my Ti
I can seem like an INFJ when I introvert
And why...
I have a giant sign on my head that says "Please take advantage of my almost limitless ability to give"

That's the one I needed explaining for too.
Still, I don't think that ENFJ is quite right for me. If the past month has taught me anything, it's my Si and Fi are surprisingly strong. I was actually toying around with the idea of being an INFP...
That sounds about right. You've convinced me anyway Von. Well a long time ago actually. I think it was just yourself you needed to convince. Enjoy being superhuman. I wish I was.
You do realize that all of our base functions have to lean on one of our shadow functions, right?
For example, my Fe has always leaned on Fi, my Ni leans on Ne, my Se leans on Te, and my Ti leans on Si.
Your shadow functions are just a byproduct offshoot of your primary functions. If Fi and Si are strong in you, then you're likely an ENFJ because INFP is the shadow mode of ENFJ. Heh, especially if you're considering INFP as a type.
You're an ENFJ, hun. My phone bill proves it. Hehe.

I do enjoy being superhuman. I kinda feel like Spider-Man when he remembered he has powers. And you're right, I'm the one I have been trying to convince. I needed everything to line up. Just proves my weak Ti right there.

Possibly. I suppose that at this point, I'm starting to see a little bit of everything in me and I'm no longer capable of objectively assessing my own traits enough to determine a type. In all honesty, whatever I am, I am.
Haha. Yeah, that bill was brutal. I miss talking to you, though. We ought to skype sometime

The day you're an INFP, is the day Oprah goes on a diet and stays on a diet.
ROFLOL.
Now you got me curious, indigo. What makes you that adamant to think I'm not an INFP?
I'll tell you why I think you're not.
You're a bad ass! I don't know a single INFP who has that tiger's spirit that comes from the Se and Fe combo that you have (ENFJs and ESTPs).
And again, my phone bill refutes that you are an introvert.

Your need for certainty, and your need of planning things out and being able to predict the future.
The Mental Muscle Diagram Test has changed its format, and happened upon something really interesting.
"Looking at your individual preferences suggests that your type preferences are for INFJ.
However, it is not fully clear that your type is INFJ because, when we match the pattern of your MMDI pattern responses to the average patterns for each of the sixteen types, the MMDI code suggests your type might be ENFJ."
Here are my MBTI style results, based on the E, I, N, S, F, T, P, J scores...

...which are almost exactly typical of my results on any given MBTI style test. I almost always score very slightly introverted.
But, as noted above, the test caught the discrepancy....

The reason I keep scoring INFJ on MBTI type tests is that my Fi and Ni (Ti and Si) add up to just a little more than my Fe and Ne (Se and Te). But, I'm actually Fe dominant. Huh. Go figure. It really was that simple.

Von, I still do not understand my cognitive processes and since I am thinking I am perhaps an ENFJ maybe you could please explain the location of my functions.
My 2 leading functions are classic XNFJ with Ni and Fe switching back and forth. I have an oddly strong Te and Si though my Fi and Se are both very weak. I am wondering if I am leaning on any of my shadow modes.
