ENTJ
ESTJ
ENTP
ESTP
It's weird, though. She doesn't seem to have the "in-charge" interaction style at all, so that would only leave ENTP, unless interaction style theory is wrong about ESTPs. I know a male and female ENTP, and she isn't like them She seems to be afraid of abstract and theoretical stuff like an S type. She's also very materialistic, a possible shopaholic, and has very expensive taste in clothes. She could also be such a borderline type when it comes to S/N and P/J that things are really blurry. She's not a wild, out-of-control partying type or a thrill seeker, though. She's very prude, never even kissed a guy although she's about an 8 or higher as far as looks go and about twenty something.
I showed her a few profiles a while back, and she doesn't think any of them sound like her.
Now that I think about it, she did lead me around and direct me last time I met her. She was like, let's go here, let's go there. Maybe she does have an in-charge interaction style, and I'm just not seeing it online.
Well, I get to see her again in about a week. I'm looking forward to it.

She sounds ExTJ-ish to me. I don't really see P at all. (Remember, though, that this is from someone with no real-life typing experience whatsoever, and it's all based on mental models.) Still, I don't think you can always go by interaction style, because some people seem to have more than one. Are ENTJ's usually more into theory? I think some of them might be more focused on tertiary Se than Ni, but I'm not sure. The only thing keeping me from ESTJ is the shopaholic and expensive taste in clothes part... that doesn't sound SJ-ish to me, but I don't know any ESTJ's for comparison. It does fit some people I've heard typed as ENTJ's, though, which is what's leaning me towards that.
