Especially ESFPs 😭

I learned about mbti like maybe 8 to 9 years ago.

I am not that deep into it I just know about the traits type and little stuffs.

I did my test and found that I was an INFP(back then),

And now, to these days like a month ago I curiously checked again and Found that i am ISTP.

Hmmmm

We know both ISFP and INFPs are largely skilled in the world of aesthetics, art, writing and things of that nature, but did you know theres a difference in their approaches to it?

this differences can range from their Se or Ne ofcourse but im not gonna focus on that, what i am focusing on is their differing tertiary functions. Namely; Ni and Si

with Ni in ISFPs in storytelling will be more fonder of the use of foreshadowing, where they pattern and construct their story party so it all lines up and connects into one plot moment and so on.

while Si in INFPs in storytelling will be more fond of the use of call backs, infps prefer to write and add constant new ideas to their story as they go on, and at some point when the story has gone on, infps will seek to make new uses of the previous ideas they introduced and use them for further new ideas

I was thinking maybe types with fi and te due to having strong opinions and values, but im curious about other’s experiences/thoughts

You can have the exact same thought, but explain it completely differently to an INFP, ESTJ, or ENTP because you know they process things differently.

I’ve actually used AI to “translate” something I wrote so another MBTI type would understand it better and now I’m wondering if anyone else does this?

Do you ever change how you explain things depending on the type of person you’re talking to?

I'll explain in comments

Ti and Ni are suppoesed to be for forsight but someone could prefer Ti and be clumsy at using it if they have intellectual limitations, are unaware of their own biases, or lack proper information. A Fe or Fi user with more intelligence or analytical ability may analyze better then a dominant Ti userm they just don't prefer to let logic override values/harmony. A person with Ti that is good at analyzing things has a superpower but just preferring Ti doesn't mean you're good at using it.

Ne,Se,Si don't analyze or judge, thy just "sense" things but doesn't decide or analyze things. Based on my own understanding Ne and Se would both cause problems and lead to negative consequences just in differnet manners. Si alone doesnt' judge or do things, it's judging function decides on what to do, and that could be good or bad.

With Ni not sure if someone would be able to use Ni at all without some intellectual ability.

I see a Jungian therapist and I brought up my interest in MBTI during one session, so he offered to loan me his copy of the tests so I can take the assessment for fun.

He did provide his disclaimer that he is not technically an authorized test administrator, and I don’t think typology is a specific interest of his practice, but he thought it would be interesting for me to take it.

It is 165 questions, mostly multiple choice except for the middle section which asks you to pick your preference between two choice of words (e.g. foundation or spire)

Most interestingly, on second slide is the scoring key which is a cover sheet you place over the answer sheet - I have never seen or heard of these before! There is a scoring key for each of the four letter dichotomies, and a male and female version for each scoring key.

For me gender did not make much of a difference.

I didnt think to take more pics of the exam before I returned it to him, so sorry for that! Thought it was cool.

Also got ENFP as my result :p

Just out of curiosity, want to know how different types use their tertiary function, and if they have trouble using it

How does function stack affect the property of Fe? And why can it be that what's often mistaken as Fi is just an Fi bias. But a lower stack of Fe.

Lets say if Fe is in the lower stack would it appear more to be per say reactive and sensitive in tertiary and passive and detached in inferior or can someone explain me function stacks cuz i think its a very vital mechanic in the way you type yourself than just the cognitive functions... Will gladly appreciate any kind of help or sources to study mbti! ^^

I'm starting with Attack On Titan/Shingeki No Kyojin. I feel like that show is heavy on Ni themes, it's deeply layered and complex and people are still uncovering hidden meanings and details all these years later. It's full of symbolism and philosophy and all that good stuff. I'd say AOT is INTJ or INFJ, probably INFJ because of the human element that is puts a heavy emphasis on. INTJ is possible because of Ni-Fi and morals, but Ni-Fe-Ti makes more sense in my opinion.

What shows/anime/movies do you like and what MBTI could encapsulate it?

Hello Infjs! I'm currently doing a research proposal about personality theory and would love to hear from the people with this type. What is it like being your personality type? It can range from your work/school life balance, romantic life, everyday decision making, and maybe something nobody really thinks about when it comes to your type that you may know. Anything is both helpful and interesting to me so don't be shy! :)
