ENFP or ENFJ

Not trying to confuse you further but how sure are you even that you are truly an Extravert? I know some Introverts who act extremely extraverted. The difference lies in where they get their energy.

 

In any case, this means that your primary and secondary functions are roughly equal.

If you're very clear on your E, N, and F, then you're either

Ni seek the one answer.
Fe feels how things should be.
(ENFJ)

Ne seeks all the possibilities.
Fi feels how things are.
(ENFP)

lolz I guess that solved it then.
right?

 

I don't know how many people share my sentiments but I think it's possible for people to be a hybrid of types as well.
Maybe that's you?

 

Do you think you might be an INFP/ESTJ hybrid? I that know I don't know you all but, even so I develope these theories about people . . . that's just what I would guess you are. I don't really have any good reasons tho for thinking so . . . I just thought I would tell you my suspicion and. . . yeah.

 

What? Gracious no! I love ENFPs. I was just telling you my honest insane opinion that I figured you'd probably disregard anyway.

 

You can call yourself ENFX if you want, means you are between things.


Remember the function order too.

ENFJ primary feelers
ENFP primary intuition

 

I know an ENFP and ENFJ in real life. There is a big difference between the two. I think saying that it's just a matter of where you swing on the J/P scale is kind of undermining the fact that these types are indicative of two very different groups of people.

 

There are some major differences and some major similarities. I have experience myself and I am an ENFP. I find that ENFJs are more decisive in general and a bit less open minded to certain things. Sometimes when they have made their mind up you just can not sway them, even if they happen to be wrong, they can be a bit arrogant in that manner (though not all ENFJs are like this). On the positive, they are very passionate and caring about others. They really try and help other people all the time (even when those people don't want help) and they have an easy time expressing their emotions directly, whereas I think ENFP has a bit tougher time (and tend to express them more indirectly). You could chalk this up to functional order and/or direction.

Like I said, you may be right in the middle, you sound very balanced so it may be tough to pick out. For you, MBTI might not be quite as accurate because you are in the middle.


I think you are ENFP by the sound of your posts, but far be it from me to tell you your type.


Tell us more about yourself, describe yourself and your hobbies etc. to us and it may be a bit more clear.

 

Your ignoring a lot by just looking at percentages. Plus, just because you're a P doesn't mean you're "less organized" then a J. Those are weak definitions. You should evaluate the personalities as a whole and not just the flowery descriptions on type websites. The pain they go through, the issues they have, the way they treat themselves and others, what they're like under stress, when confused or hurt. It's much more then just percentages made up from an online indicator.

And I have put a type on them myself. They wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about otherwise and they probably wouldn't care.

We're not talking about people, we are talking about types. Types are broad and generalised, that's the whole point. Otherwise we'd have millions of different types.

 

but see I agree with Yield here because a person's Myere's Briggs Type isn't just random categorization. THere are 16 distinct types and sure you might be really well developed in one area, so much that you are typed as that letter but then that would be a mistyping because there are distinct differences (caused by what we call order of functions, real reasons are unknown) between the types so. . . I think you are actually either one or the other. Or neither. My own beliefe is that you are an INFP/ESTJ as I said. And I know that seems like it doesn't make sense based on what I just said about about distinction how can I still believein hybrids of the types but what I mean by that is really different and complicated so forget I mentioned it.
edit: I was agreeing with Yield's first post. I still haven't read his second. And sorry for being so rambling in explaining myself. I have difficulty articulating my thoughts well sometimes.

 

Yeah, you can, I think to view it otherwise would be ridiculous. 6 Billion people and NO ONE can switch between the two? Like 6,000,000,000 have to fit into 16 types?



What do you think?
