What are the most easy-going types according to you.

In my opinion : NP because N not that attached to materialistic things, practical things and P because able to compromise, change plans and so on...

I'm not so sure. I always imagine Ss having the easier life. N can be pretty scary.

True. What about thinkers / feelers? I think thinkers are more easy going....
anyway i go with the fact that a balanced type will be easy-going anyway....

All of the ExxP types are pretty easy going. These are the least judging of all types so they are the hardest to offend and need few things to be a certain way.

I don't agree, I find S and especially SJ have this wonderful ability to see pratical problems everywhere.

well F's care about what others think and won't just shit on them. P's in general are easy going, but if you have an F paired with a J, that's pretty cool too. to me, the most sociable people are: ENFP's, ENFJ's, ESFP, ESFJ's.

This definition of the ISTP sounds a little intense.

It might depend on the context. Sometimes P's seem more opinionated than J's because their internal thinking is more structured? From what I understand the ISFP and ESFP might be the most laid back. I did read that the ISFP is the kindest of all the types.

Of those I've known, the ESFP has been the most laid back. The ESTP was too competitive.

The INTPs and ENTPs that I have known are not at all mellow. They are too critical and fond of conflict/debate to be considered "laid back."

...and of course as an INFP, I assure you that we INFPs can be miserable, tense, anxious creatures who feel the whole weight of the world on our shoulders, so it's definitely not us.

INFP Here is why:

I-- not noisy, unobtrusive

N-- wrapped up in their own little world, not critical or picky about externals/details

F-- sensitive to the needs and desires of others, or at least capable of being so!

P-- flexible, adaptable, openminded

Seems obvious to me. How is this even a contest? Of course, it takes a good little INFP to be an easy-going person. The raw material may be in place, but they can misuse their potential when they turn evil, no doubt.

I think upbringing plays a much, much larger role in this than type. That said, I'd say that some of the most laid back people are ISTP, followed by INTP.

I sense possible bias in here.

I don't think F vs T has anything to do with easy going in my opinion. Maybe we define easy going differently.

P vs J, yes I can go with that however you should look at cognitive function effects also. Example INTJ is described as having traits of a perceiver by having something like an "inverted spine" by one of the big sociologists. Which makes us, when not in "business" mode, pretty laid back and inherently goofy if we trust the people we are around. Sort of like how ENFP can be seen introverted. Trait.

E vs I? No relation on easy-going, just perception by the opposite type.

N vs S. Interesting. I am not sure honestly on this one due to numerous factors.

Much easier using enneagram types. :)

E9 all the way! INFPs, ENFPs, ISFJs and ISFPs are the most likely to be E9, so there y'go. The E9s of these types probably aren't internally easy-going, but externally, yes. And if anyone dares challenge me on this, I see your point, and totally agree!

on the T vs F thing, it is true that T can find F's illogical and F's can find T's insensitive so i can see where you're coming from. however, F's in general spend more effort in observing someone else's feelings, so when you hang out, they won't go offending you.

Yeah that is pretty intense. Most ISTPs I've met haven't fit that mold.

N-- wrapped up in their own little world, not critical or picky about externals/details

F-- sensitive to the needs and desires of others, or at least capable of being so!

The problem with Fs is that they are often too sensitive. You have to walk on eggshells with them, some Fs don't even realize others do this with them.

Stop with the eggshells! Seriously, not all Fs are like this. Even if I do get offended sometimes I do not openly express that I have been offended and when I am alone I mull it over and come to a reasonable conclusion that won't affect how I act towards you.

Not trying to start a T vs F war but I have to walk around T mindbombs sometimes because if I say anything that is illogical or irrelevant to a topic we are speaking about I get bombarded with corrections and my inconsistencies are pointed out without fail.

The fact that a thinker is more uncomfortable around Fs than Ts says nothing of how easy going Fs are and everything about how laid back the thinker in question is (and vice versa). If you're the one who's uncomfortable, then you're not the one who's laid back.

But which type is most laid back? I dunno, but it's gotta be a perceiving type.
