Myers-Briggs types ISTJ ISFJ INFJ INTJ ISTP ISFP INFP INTP ESTP ESFP ENFP ENTP ESTJ ESFJ ENFJ ENTJ MBTI preferences At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences. Do you prefer to deal with: People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I"). Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N"). Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F"). A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P"). In Myers Briggs theory, for each pair you prefer one style more than the other. Jung also allowed a middle group where you like an equal balance of the two. You combine the letters associated with your preferences to get your Myers Briggs personality type. For example, having preferences for E, S, T and J gives a personality type of ESTJ. Although you have preferences, you still use all eight styles - in the same way that most people are right-handed but they still use both hands. Extraversion and Introversion - The first pair of styles is concerned with the direction of your energy. If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with people, things, situations, or "the outer world", then your preference is for Extraversion. If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with ideas, information, explanations or beliefs, or "the inner world", then your preference is for Introversion. Sensing and Intuition - The second pair concerns the type of information/things that you process. If you prefer to deal with facts, what you know, to have clarity, or to describe what you see, then your preference is for Sensing. If you prefer to deal with ideas, look into the unknown, to generate new possibilities or to anticipate what isn't obvious, then your preference is for Intuition. The letter N is used for intuition because I has already been allocated to Introversion. Thinking and Feeling - The third pair reflects your style of decision-making. If you prefer to decide on the basis of objective logic, using an analytic and detached approach, then your preference is for Thinking. If you prefer to decide using values - i.e. on the basis of what or who you believe is important - then your preference is for Feeling. Judgment and Perception - The final pair describes the type of lifestyle you adopt. If you prefer your life to be planned and well-structured then your preference is for Judging. This is not to be confused with 'Judgmental', which is quite different. If you prefer to go with the flow, to maintain flexibility and respond to things as they arise, then your preference is for Perception.

This. Maybe helpful to some here. I want to become like this guy.

@BuddhistLover also Ne is good at producing words, while Ni struggles to verbalize thoughts

Ne knows a little about a lot, while Ni knows a lot about a little And that's the key difference.

I'll say that Ni (not Ne) is an important function to me.

Look I already told you that you're basing me much on my forum personality. Introverts also have modes of communication. My preferred mode of communication is writing. Can we agree that for most introverts, their preferred Communication would be writing? Ask other introverts if you want.. Leo makes hundreds of 2 hour long videos. He is an introvert? I don't prefer verbal communication at all. I generally prefer texting. For that reason I compensate my lack of extroversion through copious amount of writing, that's where I can be myself, plus writing is my passion and hobby. I don't do it for people to read, I do it because it has always been my passion. Whether people read it or not doesn't matter. I already gave reasons why I write here versus privately. It has nothing to do with people. I feel very uncomfortable when people follow my journals. I would rather them not. By your (flawed) logic, all authors must be extroverts??? Famous authors are introverts as shown above. Leo also wanted to write a book? Leo has more than 1000 followers. People like my writing and so they follow me. At least this must be the case. To be honest, I literally not pmed even a single follower in more than 2 months. Those followers, majority of them, are dead followers. I don't even know 90% of them. I don't even interact with any of them, nor do I go around gathering followers. Some stranger visits my profile and start following me. Much of it is because I'm a woman and this forum has a lot of men. They find me interesting for some reason. I'm sure if I were male I wouldn't even have 5 followers.. So it has nothing to do with extroversion. Females generally tend to gather more followers on any platform because males give them attention.. I just have more followers simply because I spent more time here, much of that time was spent journaling which is an introverted activity. Fun fact - my most followers came when I was into journaling 3 years ago in 2018. I did not interact with a single person on the forum. I was only in journals until 2019 November when I made my first post on the dating section. By then I had 60 followers already even with zero interaction. This tells me that I don't need to be an extrovert to gain following especially on this platform. If the quality of the posting is decent enough and if you are consistently posting regularly, you'll gain decent following. Despite being an introvert. I just don't get it. Who says this? Who decides this? You? The whole world follows the testing pattern. And why should they be wrong just because you thing they are wrong? I don't see anything wrong with relying on the test. General descriptions give you a clue on the traits of the personality. Again I don't see absolutely anything wrong with that. General descriptions are formed from aggregating statistics and general behaviors seen in the group It's so similar to what you are doing. You're telling people "look it seems you're ESFJ because ESFJs are stronger empaths." What did you do there? You're contradicting yourself. Because you just used a general descriptive based on what you think an ESFJ should be according to you. The internet is basically doing the same but you don't like it when the internet does it. When you describe an MBTI using functions, on a Meta level you're still putting a general description on it, it's only your description, but beware that you cannot go against the internet because internet stuff is based on statistical research, it's not flimsy by any means, it's based on group studies.. But you always make me out to be someone special. You don't do this to them. Maybe I appear fascinating to you for whatever reason. But remember whatever picture you have of me in your mind is your own imagination and fantasy you created out of me. I'm none of the shit you think I am. I'm boring. I am simple. You make me look like I'm some interesting person but that's your mental image of me. If you stopped looking at me that way, you'll realize i don't exist.

@thisintegrated also I don't even consider responding to people on a forum a form of social interaction. I'm simply responding to questions, it's my empathy that causes me to want to help people, it has absolutely nothing to do with extroversion. I'm not even friends with anyone here You would have more friends here than me despite me having spent 4 years here. And my style of interacting here is simply responding to people which is obvious if someone talks about me, I'll respond to them, that's not even an extrovert thing at all.

I do too. All introverts don't have the same writing style. Ridiculous to expect it to be same. Makes no difference. Both are loyal Remember MBTIs can overlap a lot. I'm not outgoing or social so I'm not ESFJ because it's given they are outgoing. That's what the internet says about their general behavior. Now I hope you don't say that even the internet is wrong. It seems everyone is wrong except you. Again overlapping. A lot of things can overlap. There is no exact measure for empathy. MBTI gives you an overall view. You cannot pick apart tiny things from it because you can't exactly measure those tiny things. It's supposed to be a rough sketch or comprehensive analysis of personality because you never quantify a personality word to word. Tiny changes in behavior happen every day. EMPATH is not my hero function by the way. I have never seen my Fe as a hero. I always see myself as an advocate which is INFJ I'm not loud. Not by any means unless people like you choose to give me excessive attention (which I absolutely do not appreciate and I'm a 100% sure that it has much to do with my gender more than anything else, which I can't help, I should probably change my gender on my profile to male for the likes of you who overly drool on me for whatever goddamn reason haha. I'm sure a man with my kind of personality would never attract this kind of attention on this forum. So there's that) I do have anxiety but that's not the reason why I don't interact with people in real life. I just don't like being around people, I already explained it, I live an introverted existence. Dude, I have been diagnosed with autism. Most autists are introverts. I don't have any extrovert bone in me. I genuinely hate being among people. Call me for a party at your house and I'll never turn up. Although social anxiety and autism impacts my social skills, the core reason I don't have friends is simply because I am not a people person and I like to be myself. If I ever have friends it will be like one loyal friend and that's it. You can call yourself an extrovert but I'm not an extrovert. Calling me loud is kinda unfair because I am forced to give responses and reactions to people the way I'm forced to give you now, and that makes me look loud. Not because I intend to look loud. People hog my attention from all sides even without me wanting it. This does not make me an extrovert, it only makes me miserable. I'm very much misunderstood and I hate that I have to keep clarifying every time. I'm an advocate so I get triggered when someone says something that goes against my advocacy like you were spreading misrepresentation on bpd, my advocate personality puts me into action and that gives the wrong impression that I'm an extrovert. I'm none of the things described below. I'm none of the things described above I'm not talkative at all. In all of my past relationships, all my boyfriends used to talk over me, and I would talk like 10% and they would talk like 80%. I was always in a relationship with ENFP and extroverts because as an introvert I tended to get attracted to extroverted people. I'm not social at all. I'm not friendly. I push people away. People complain about me. I'm not out going. I don't like attention. But people give me without me wanting it. I usually spend time alone. In fact I do a ton of journaling. And journaling is my favorite way of spending time alone.. I have a ton of mental disorders because INFJs are associated with it. But there could be INFJ who don't have mental disorders. Look at this. My tabs are open simply because I'm too lazy to close them. I'm a Pisces and Pisces can be lazy. I don't even log out of the forum out of laziness. Not every trait has to be some MBTI function.

Also this describes me perfectly. I see order in chaos. I'm not your stereotypical organized person. I'm in organized in a manner that only a fellow INFJ can understand. Organized chaos is what I call it. I always know where everything is even if it's chaotic.

You have got me wrong on many factors simply because you take me based on my forum presence and you don't know me at all in real life. The test is based on real life and not on forum presence. Leo interacts a shit ton on the forum and that doesn't make him an extrovert. So I looked up the definition of ESFJ and I can see why you are typing me like that although you're missing out core components of my personality. People with an ESFJ personality type tend to be outgoing, loyal, organized, and tender-hearted. ESFJs gain energy from interacting with other people. They are typically described as outgoing and gregarious. I am constantly trying to tell you that I'm very different from what I appear on the forum. Don't take me by my forum impressions. I'm not outgoing at all. First things first. I'm a very indoor person, I always avoid going out for all sorts of reasons. In fact I don't even allow people into my room. I strictly prohibit people from entering into my presence. I am extremely happy when I'm with myself. People drain me. I don't even allow comments in my journal. My journal is not meant for people, it's meant for me. The only thing is this place is rather comfortable for journaling because of the posting layout and even in my journals, I'm mostly talking to myself. I don't journal for people's comments at all because I like to stay by myself in my journals. Those journals are like private rooms for me where I can be myself. I don't like the private journaling software I use so I journal here. I can journal here even if a single person didn't exist here. I only talk to myself both real life and online. I have zero friends on social media and zero social media presence. Some people follow me here for whatever reasons but I have no interest in it. I easily get freaked out and drained by people's attention. I'm the least outgoing person ever in real life. I generally enjoy my own company and this has never changed. If I ever go out I sit alone in cafeterias. I have always been alone when I'm out. I don't like crowds and I generally don't like to be around people and I avoid people when I'm out. I often get irritated by people's presence and I move to locations where I can find peace and quiet and be myself. I usually feel drained by people and people have been my biggest problem. I have always liked to be by myself. I interact with people just for information, not because I enjoy interacting. I rarely ever interact with people in real life, and I don't gain energy from interacting, rather I lose energy so I usually stop after a few interactions. So you're completely wrong when you think I'm an extrovert simply because of my forum activity. Even on the forum I rarely pm anyone. I have literally zero friends. I'm popular for no particular reason other than that I'm weird and people find my absurd behavior fascinating. While they are tolerant in general, ESFJs don't approach the world with a completely open mind. Their value systems are defined by fixed ideas about right and wrong, good and bad, smart and foolish, and they tend to categorize everything they see according to such dualistic concepts. I do look at things black and white but I doubt it is my personality. It has more to do with my bpd disorder. I'm intensely and extremely loyal. But so are INFJ. I hold loyalty to be the most important part of a relationship just like typical INFJ. I'm not at all organized. I'm tender hearted that's because I'm an EMPATH and that goes well with INFJ.

That's how I get angry.

I'm not an extrovert at all. Although my online presence gives off that impression. False impression. I am rarely ok with people, I like to be much with myself. I'm an INFJ and people tell me that I give them the death stare. I can be possessed and intimidating. And I'm always suspicious. These images describe my mind perfectly. You are dead wrong on me.

Lmfao. The INFJ stare is a total psychopath stare. Creeps.

I'm not sure if I should believe you. So what's my type (if you already don't know so no cheating)

You type people on a very faulty and crude method. There is a comprehensive test that exists for this typing and its pretty good imo, does the job. You can't type on single traits and on the spot behaviors. Totally lacking in substance and context.

Of course. Yet no Christian ever believes in more than one God. So you have no confusion.

Christianity has one God. Trinity is irrelevant. Monotheism = one God. You're deliberately confusing yourself using the concept of Trinity.

This is just theory. How people interpret suffering is up to them Maybe the goal is not to eradicate suffering but to understand suffering. Also suffering on a collective cannot be eliminated. Just because you don't suffer doesn't give you the right to preach others on how they shouldn't suffer. That's a highly entitled approach and it's not spiritual. Buddhism is irrelevant. Buddhism is not a tool to insult suffering Also read on spiritual bypassing. Too much arguing with you because you don't understand suffering and talk from your ass Goodluck

All Abrahamic religions are monotheistic religions.

If I don't have too much time, I demand a summary. Otherwise book reading is best.

That dude excellent. Recent follower

You're already judging suffering as bad. Maybe suffering is not bad. Also you can't dictate what people should be with their suffering nor hold them accountable for it with your silly theories on attachment.

@r0ckyreed you Can also practice loving kindness meditation. I hope you have heard of that. That helped me a shit ton with my psychic powers.
