The purpose of this thread is a response to my pastor Ho-ming. Here I'll list some of the things i see as an eNfJ in this world. *Note* I'll be popping in and out depending on how "Ni" i feel, i hope that my thoughts here will be in the most organized manner possible, sorry Ho-mie if you don't understand this (Me thinks i am still learning MBTI so don't quote me on everything i say, i have to say that i got the hang of it)
Referring back to my countless emails that i sent you, I'm now going to summarize all my thoughts in this thread rather than having your head explode from the 10* page email that i could be sending you. Nu I'm just kiddin
Around a year ago during career night, i happened to stumble across the life sciences room. I don't know if it was just coincidence but by gods grace he has introduced me to this tool that i well never forget in till death we part. This was the pinnacle of my life during my early 16's, my road to self discovery began here. AND as a christian i urge you to contemplate on what I'm about to tell you. Plz pray to god about this and hope you'll learn something out of this.
While i was listening to the doctor speaking, he introduced me to this tool that analyzes your personality type. It's not like one of those random personality type quizzes online, however it's not pseudoscience. It's actually proven to work and a lot of research has been done on it, a lot of theories and a lot of practical application. If you ever have any doubts and say like "I don't care about this or "Stop changing my life" whatever the heck you might think. Read this article before you go "Yay" or "Nay"
- What's the BUZZ? - MBTI is NOT a pseudoscience. Check your facts,
*A Little History*
This Personality type quiz or tool actually derives from the study of temperaments where you have people talk about things like "Sanguine, Melancholy, Choleric" and things like that. MBTI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a more refined version of it.
*How It Works*
I'll refer to you to this website for you which contains every detail of the quiz. This quiz is like a chart with 2 columns and 4 rows so making it 8 boxes. Therefore you can have at max 16 personality types. However I'll form my own chart and let you decide if you want to take the super test that gives you a heck lot more of information (Sticky)

Personality Tests and Type Profiles
*Tip before taking the test*
I notice that we should humble ourselves before we take the test, i notice that many men pride themselves as thinkers rather than feelers because guys tend to take a one sided approach when talking about "feelings". They think it's emo, it's soft, it's just disgusting?. No it is not disgusting because I'm a guy too, I knows how u guys feel. I thought of myself as an ENTJ the whole time i was an ENFJ, funny because i too didn't want to admit that I was all sentimental. Sometimes i would be mistaken for a girl online because i was just trying to be nice. Honestly i would say that pride is BS, it won't do you any good pretending to be something false. In reality, i think being nice is all that counts (sticky) I'll talk more about this later into the discussion. Before you continue I'd like to give a heads up on my percentage break down of eNfJ (letters capped for a reason)
Average from the multiple times i took the test
------------------------------------------
Extravert: 60% Introvert: 40%
Sensor: 10% Nintuitive: 90%
Thinker: 33% Feeler: 67%
Judger: 80% Perciever: 20%
------------------------------------------
The most important thing you should take from this is summarized here:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Where does your energy come from?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extraverts like to get energy by socializing with people hence spending time alone at home playing computers will make them feel very slobby. So you have the features of an Extravert who likes to...

The most important thing you should take from this is summarized here:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Where does your energy come from?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extraverts like to get energy by socializing with people hence spending time alone at home playing computers will make them feel very slobby. So you have the features of an Extravert who likes to...
- Feel Energized by Being Around People
- Tendency to Initiate conversation
- Talk more than listen
- Act then think
- Are outgoing & Enthusiastic
- Center of Attention a.k.a Jasper Lee >>
Introverts like to keep quiet and meditate(think to themselves) a lot lot. Some of the things here a little bit exaggerated but you get the idea, if you were to pinpoint my accuracy, it should be like 101% XD. So you have the features of an Introvert who likes to...
- Sit alone in a complete trance
- Background worker
- Tendency to Respond more than Initiating conversation
- Reserved & Quiet
- It's almost like you don't even notice them XD

2. How do you take in information?

- Practical Thinker
- They like to live in the moment
- Like to reuse learned sills

- Notices and remember details & facts

- *Sigh*
Nintuitive's are people who like to live in the future, this word is actually supposed to be "Intuitive" but the "N" letter is supposed to help distinguish the 2 "I"s (Introverts and Intuitive, 1 of them has to be different letter). So like the definition of Intuitive, they use their gut feeling more than using practical approaches. So you have features of Nintuitive's who likes/to
- Lives in the future

3. How do you make decisions?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is toughy because it's very hard to find someone that is very belanced in both Feeler and Thinker Sides. Sometimes they may be a complete jerk (Cehm Ho-Ming) or someone who is like a complete dope/emo (thnkfully i haven't met one yet, ou..maybe i have? *chuckles*). I'll (sticky) this too because I'll discuss a little about this again at a later time.
Thinkers are just like they say, logical and the brainiac in the class, "UGNNH" dammit lol y can't i be the genius here (Ou but i am in this thread ). So some of the features of a thinker is...

Ah my favorite section, your life style. You can tell a lot by just looking at someones life style. Whether they're messy or organized, same like looking at someones shoes to see if they have style sense.
Judgers are people who naturally like to get things "over it". They'll be restless till it's completed, so...whoevers mom keeps on nagging on them. MOST likely it is a Judger. So some features you might see in a Judger is...

*Note*
So that's how it all works out, interesting stuff i must say. Now when i say "typing" someone it will mean that I'm trying to determine their type okej?
*Stickies*
I'll briefly talk about some of them, when you're finding out your type, you can't always say that every ISFJ is the same with the other. NO it doesn't work out like that, the letters just tell you their tendency's to do things and what they'll usually prefer to do(which is pretty much what they'll do). The most important thing imo is the fact that you start to develop these letters when you're growing up as an infant. Using the test to try and type smaller children or even mentally disabled people OR even pets(yes you can use on pets) can sometimes be inaccurate so to speak.
Just remember that humans are always still developing. When i say this, there are certain letters than are permanent and there are some where you can develop. For example, you cannot change the fact that you get energy from talking to someone rather than meditating. An instance of this is when my mom(ESTJ) used to say that "people are always developing, the letters always change" (in her chinese wordings), and says things like "What if they have god in them". Really? GOD changes your way of getting energy? No heck no, you can't just decide one day that you'll meditate to gain energy. nononono. wrong way of thinking bro.
Secondly, you cannot change between your Sensing and Inuitive letters because that's how you take in information, that's how you'll always see things. enuff said.
However i know for a fact that when you had God in your life, it can make you develop your "Feeler" or "Thinker" traits depending on what you're more exposed to. When you truly love god and abide by his commandments + reading the bible, you will develop a sense of his love and thus you'll be able to love others. Same goes with the 'Thinker' preference, i believe this can also be developed as you grow older or handle more logical things(imo)
Nonetheless if your overall letter is like "F" for example, you'll usually make decision with that first. The only thing i can say about the feeler and thinker trait is more of the "Nature vs Nurture", this should be pretty straight forward but I myself am not too in-depth with this area of psychology but it does have to do with the fact that some traits are naturally passed on and some of them are developed (so there you go, Nature vs Nurture in developing your T of F preference)
Lastly, you cannot change your lifestyle but u can adapt, take for example my dad(INTP). My mom says he's very organized at work and usually around us. He wants to get to church on time but if you take a look at his man-cave or his working room, it's like a mess. Full of papers, pens, batteries, etc. Just like my brother(ESTP), so no you cannot change a lot of your lifestyle. Messy will stay messy and organized will stay organized.
I'll talk more about my stickies a later time, this will be in-depth though
Ahh, this is getting a little late here. 7 hours or so before church starts. I'll talk more about the practical uses and theories that i have next time. Yearns for another day
