Actually I would like to say ENTP like the others but something is simply "wrong" about that claim.
If I am not mistaken there was a thread where ENFP posted their function strenght results. And most of them sucked at Te completly.
You seem to be more polite than other ENTPs.
You have a number of "what is my type" threads. What seems to be a NFP trait.
You seem to be highly artistic person.
You don't argue that much with other NTs. (or any one else)
You said that you wouldn't throw anyone of the cliff in both "cliff games"
You said

(I could get more examples but I think that this is enough)
My point is not in the fact that this happens but how often it happens.
Maybe I am getting it all wrong but ....... (i think you get the point)
I mean just because you are F that does not mean that you are hardcore F.
Don't you think that I at least deserve a comment for what I wrote ?
Sorry.
Isn't most of this just an enneagram issue? I have a lot of anxiety just under the surface, and that probably has a lot to do with my inclination to empathize (as limited as that ability is). Many times, when I have an argumentative response to offer, I ask myself: What is the point of saying this? If I can't find one, I ask myself: Will I be entertained by saying it? If I will, I say it anyway.
But if I can logically conflict someone's point of view and that results in nothing created ... no progress ... then it doesn't make sense to bother. The only reason I'd care to do this would be to learn something that I can't learn through observation. I like discussing points of view ... it's one of my favorite things to do, but "discuss" implies that everyone is calm. If I'm calm and the other person isn't, it's now an argument because the other person has stopped listening and the whole issue is now buried under an irrelevant pile of crap.
For me, the effort of arguing online isn't worth the minor potential benefit. I could go practice something or dance or read a book or talk to someone about some cool idea and feel that at least something came out of how I spent my time.
But I think tcda made a good point about some people's reasons for enjoying it (and my thread title was half-jest anyway), so that's been added to my knowledge base about why people do the things they do.
But getting back to the your argument that I could be an F ... maybe I'm a weak one? I don't honestly know. I can identify with the ENFPs on this site up to a point and then there's a
but I feel the same way about the other types (including ENTP) I could be theorized to be.
Sometimes I think it's possible I could be an INFP, but I'd have to be one who's unusually heavy on logic. And I asked someone who knows me in real life if the description sounded like me, and he burst out laughing immediately, so that's unlikely. He also said INTP didn't sound right. But he said I remind him of someone (I can't remember who) that the people here have typed as an INTP, and when I saw a clip of the guy there was an immediate recognition. He seemed less random than me though. And less cheerful.
People who know me have guessed me to be: ENTP, ENFP, ENTJ, ENFJ, INTP, INTJ, and INFJ. No one has ever suggested INFP or any of the S types.
On the tests, I score consistently as an ENTP (though I've gotten ENFP a couple times), but I've never taken an official one.
