NF, How Are You NOT Like Your Type Description? - Page 5

Viv · 09-19-2008, 08:44 AM

For an ENFP, I'm moderately in between E-F-P. I tend to keep my place organized in certain areas/messy in others (like my art space- it's constantly cluttered no matter how many times I organize it).

Most times, I'm pretty light-hearted, but I keep my skepticism to myself when it comes to certain things like what people say/do, which makes me question their integrity to the nth degree. I used to be a lot more unconditionally forgiving.. but with years of experience, I just can't for some people (I came to realize some people are just damaged goods- it's not my job to try and *cheer* them up in order to make a positive difference in their lives- some people are just inherently mal-intent due to nature or nurture? idk). I wish I can go back to being the same as I used to be.. Life happens.

Some ENFP descriptions say we are bright and generallly do well in school, especially since we are apple-polishers. I have to admit, I did not do well in school. My lack of self-control spoilt everything though I got many comments from teachers and classmates saying how intelligent I was. obviously i doubted that because my grades blatantly said otherwise.

Quote:

I'm not prone to cheating. I find that description insulting actually. I'm actually very loyal and when I'm with someone I'm with them 110% I also do NOT 'scan the horizon' when I'm with someone to see if there's something 'better' around. Eek. Even as a young teenager in the first bloom of hormones I was not prone to cheating.

^ DEFINITELY. I have never cheated and will never cheat, totally goes against my morals and is an insult to my integrity. I may be flippant about work projects i do not care about but i definitely take relationships very seriously.

I am not 'magnetic' as some descriptions say. Few people actually include me in their social activities.

I do not spread love the way I "should," though I do spread enthusiasm just in how I talk and express myself. I consider myself a realist FAR more than an optimist. I am not mistaken for naive. At least not in real life- I don't know what you guys think of me.

i can't talk about cheating, cos i've been single all my life. i guess that bit sort of deviates from your standard ENFP, though i have to say the reasons for this may not be. i am incredibly picky for pretty much anything. that doesn't mean i wouldn't befriend anyone less than perfect or not eat a hotdog without onions, but when it comes to relationships, i shoot for the moon.

people tell me to lower my standards, i just smile and ignore it. i only need things to work out once. anything more is a luxury. before anyone jumps all over this comment, i'm not saying the chick has to be drop dead gorgeous, she just needs to really understand what i am about. i've met some great people during my day, but honestly, i'm not sure anyone apart from my best friends and family truly understand me. cheating of course, is therefore out of the question.

other than that, i guess i haven't been the advocate for any charities =.= . i do vouch for philosophy though. everyone should jump on the love train

Agree. I am very picky. Friends? Yeah, sure, almost everyone is welcome. Romantically? Let me get my checklist out... Oops, sorry, can't let you pass.

Haha ok kidding. I'm just very picky about romantic relationships because I don't want to hand my feelings over to be in the hands of some irresponsible jerk. Because when I commit, I really commit.

So, unlike many descriptions, I'M RARELY IN LOVE. With a specific person, that is. Ideas, thoughts, cultures, activities, people... Sure, love them! I'm just rarely ever romantically involved with one person.

I'm INTENSELY loyal....to a fault....to my own harm.

There are times I just want to be alone.

I am a deep thinker....but definitely more of a feeler.

I play to win.

I can be superficial and shallow at times. I think my Se function has come to the surface more now that I'm *ahem* 40-something!
