Mis-typed

[Snuggletron]

I was recently mistyped as an INTP by my INFJ friend's ENFP roommate (evidently he's the one who introduced my friends to MBTI, which eventually led one of them to get me into it).

So I guess it's his fault I'm here.

I'm usually mistyped as INTJ. Sometimes INTP, ISTJ, and ISFJ.

This mistyping can be so strong that people will insist I'm the one who's mistyping myself even after I tell them what type I am. Sigh.

A real INTJ would have a stronger rebuttal to an apparent mistyping than that.

I've taken many tests, and I've never once been mis-typed. But then again, I tend to score in an "extreme" way, meaning, I score very high on each facet of the I S T J letters. This is why I prefer a test of cognitive function, as opposed to individual letters....but even then....

I still come out ISTJ. Very much so.

Your type will take form depending on your honesty in your answers, which is reflective of your mood at the time (which I am mostly exempt to, seeing how I'm blank almost all of the time) and also by the test itself.

I think the best way to find out your type is to study the functions and how they work, and more importantly, how they work in tandem, to find out which ones you use.

It's weird but with the tests I ALWAYS come out as ENFP... Even if I try and skew them !???

The tests recognize ENFPs by their inconsistent answers

I score high on Ne and Fi but also on Ni and Fe

I already straddle the E/I line, you know that
Apparently, when I'm talking to someone who asks for advice, I go INFJ

hmm...me too actually.

I mistyped myself for a while; when I asked a friend whether I seemed more INTP or INTJ, I was actually told that there was no way I could ever possibly be a P.

In my experience on the internet, INTJs have sometimes typed me as INTP, while INTPs usually type me as INTJ.

Tests have occasionally given me all of the INs; the most usual results are the INTs.

Have you ever been mis-typed?? If so, what have you been typed as? What do you think gave off that impression?

Online I've had people mistype me as INTJ, INTP, ENTJ, ENFP, INFP and INFJ. Why? Iunno for sure but I can guess...

INTJ: I assume most typings were because I originally typed myself as that.

INTP: I don't even accept ENTP 100% so that one's understandable.

ENTJ: *shrug* Flak thinks I am but I have no clue.

ENFP: would prolly be because I'm a Ne dom and can appear to be more 'emotional' than a thinker should be.

INFP & INFJ: Sometimes when I join new boards people assume I'm a guy and mistake my fluffiness for a feeling preference.

The only time I've ever been mistyped as a Sensor is on a Socionics board based solely on VI.

Irl none of the people I associate with are into typology.

Are you more open to being mistyped over the internet.

I'm more likely to be mistyped over the internet because I hang on forums that revolve around typology, therefore people think they know and either guess without knowing my type or are sure I'm mistyped because 'they understand the system better than I know it in relation to myself', that and I don't know anyone irl who would try to type me.

If so does that mean that V.I plays a big part when typing someone?

Not so much VI in terms of physical features but mannerisms, style and how someone presents themselves irl certainly helps when typing and with a decent level of understanding it could be easier to type correctly, the down side of course, is you're not necessarily seeing what someone thinks in their writing like you can online.

Some people think I'm ESTP

 

[Amargith]

Hehe, yeah ENTJ-ISTP-ESTP all have that same 'don't mess with me' -vibe

Hey! Are you saying that I have a don't mess with me vibe! Don't mess with me like that!

 

[Amargith]

Hey! Are you saying that I have a don't mess with me vibe! Don't mess with me like that!

*prods with a stick*




Come on, sweety..I'd never mess with you

Edit: Lol... I just had a visual of the cliche Italian temper and how it would work on an ENTJ. I like it *prods you some more*

 

[FDG]

hahahahah damn you can't get angy with an ENFP

 

[Amargith]

Try...for me

I'd love to see it

Nobody has claimed me for another tribe on here. No one I know outside of the forum is into it.

Wolfy, I'd claim you for my tribe!

Wolfy, I'd claim you for my tribe!

Thanks. Though I get the funny feeling I'd be laughed off the forum if I started hanging around with INTJ hanging around my neck.

 

[prplchknz]

I usually get ENFP and on rare occasions very rare INTP. if someone is typist against SJs they'll say that if they want to insult me, but really? I don't take that as a mistype more as a them trying to piss me off, it doesn't work.

You can't be any worse than INTJ123...

I've never been mistyped by a person, as I hardly know anyone in real life who is familiar with MBTI. Tests have mistakenly typed me as INTP, INFP, and ISTJ.

I've never been mistyped by anyone in real life either, as my friends either don't know/care about mbti, or aren't obsessed with it so wouldn't try typing me as something else anyway!

I've met multiple people from typ-c, though, and even when I was questioning my type they all seemed to think INFJ was obvious. Same w/ via email w/ a few people on here - even when I tried to argue other possibilities for myself, they wouldn't deviate from the infj prognosis!

In my early 20's though I never tested as an F - I always came out INTJ (although T was the weakest preference of the 4).
