What do people assume your type is? (in real life!)

[BlueGray]

I've never had people tell me I'm any MBTI type. With the way people describe me though, about 95% of it screams INTP. The remaining 5% sounds INTJ and comes from people who have only just met me.

A few people who look at my enthusiasm for my ideas on type theory have said ENFP. But those who look at the content of what I'm enthusiastic about (the logcal rather than personal aspects of the theory), acknowledge me as INTP.
(Enthusiasm would be more from the extraverted iNtuition in the "parent" position by which we reach out to others, than it being dominant, and accompanied by Fi).

A few, such as my wife, have thought I was SJ, because of my focus on the past and learned concrete facts. But then that's Si in the tertiary position.

A lot of people I know who (if they knew what typology was) would probably put me as an ENTP. I've had a lot of people comment that I'm very spontaneous and outgoing(which I'm definitely not, as can be seen from my post count ;P), which I can only assume is my Ne, which leads to ENTP.

Some App on facebook says people think I'm an ENTJ, which I find a wee bit laughable, but whatever

 

[onceuponatime]

I'm always their type.

 

[Virtual ghost]

The few that know about MBTI - INTJ
While others simply think that I am weird or perhaps even evil.

 

[Words of Ivory]

I don't actually know a single person IRL who has any interest in MTBI, so I guess that answers that question.

 

[BlackCat]

To people I don't really know I probably give off an ISTP vibe, but when they get to know me they see the F.

 

[garbage]

I get pretty sheepish bringing up MBTI to people in the really real world

but my dad thinks that ENFP is about perfect for me.. the only other opinion I've heard was that one of my friends kind of insisted that I was TJ because I'm a workaholic

 

[StephMC]

Man, this varies. I'm a hardcore introvert, but as with most ISTPs, I can appear extroverted when I feel comfortable with who I'm around. So maybe an ESTP.

I've mentioned before, but my family thinks I'm an INTP. Probably cuz I was a big dork growing up (no offense to you dorky INTPs <3)

I was pretty shy when I first started my first full time job. My boss actually knew about Meyers Briggs, but he sounded surprised when I said I was an ISTP, though he didn't tell me what type he thought I was. I'm just going to assume ISFx or something.

 

[strychnine]

My dad read too much Keirsey a few years ago so he thinks I'm an NT (pretty sure I'm not though). No one else in my RL has a clue about MBTI unfortunately.

 

[Anamalech]

Everyone thinks I'm an INTP/INTJ

 

[Aleksei]

I no longer do. You're probably some kind of SFP, frankly.

 

[JustHer]

Probably ESTP

 

[Anamalech]

I no longer do. You're probably some kind of SFP, frankly.

And you're not an ENFP. You're terrible at typing anyone. I doubt you have the ability to type yourself. Just terrible.

 

[coconut]

When a group of us did the tests together, they all said I was NT, and the I is pretty obvious. So, INTx. I don't know if they'd think P or J, though.

I don't know what to say, but I sure did feel like saying something like "lol " to all of this

 

[Aleksei]

And you're not an ENFP. You're terrible at typing anyone. I doubt you have the ability to type yourself. Just terrible.

So what am I? INFJ?

 

[Random Ness]

Some people mistake me as an E just because when you talk to me, I will answer you. That doesn't mean I'll say more than a sentence or I will initiate conversation, though.

Some people mistake me for a T because I don't outwardly express my emotions.

I don't think people can tell the difference between N and S easily.

People usually know I'm a J because I get things done on time and am very serious.

By mentioning letters I'm not saying people I know in real life know about MBTI. I'm just saying what people in real life know about my character traits.

 

[Coco]

At first, everyone would say INFJ.
Then they realize I'm some kind of asshole, so ENTP (based on their stereotypes and all, no offense intented ect ect ect)
Then that I'm not that bad, so ENFP.


But most of people think I'm an introvert anyways.
My mom fainted when I told her "MOM! I'M AN EXTROVERT! WOOOHOO"

 

[Kasper]

Looking at type descriptions most people who are close to me go with INTP, I narrow it down to the NT types for them as I doubt anyone would peg me as anything else and who would want to look at 16 profiles?!? No one around me is into MBTI as far as I know though.
