First of all, I'm not from an English speaking country, so there may be some English gramathical errors...

About my type, I can't figure it out. I'm fairly new to the MBTI thing, so I don't understand it very well. Well then, a little about me:


I'm pretty sociable. I probably won't be the first one to talk to someone I never talked before, but if this person talks to me, I find it very easy to keep the conversation going on (with most kinds of persons). I know a lot of people, but I have few close friends, people which I really like to spend time with. Toward these close friends, I'm incredibly warm and cheerful, even funny sometimes. I clearly see that some of these close friends sees me as odd, or overly excited with things (I know that because I can easily undertand what others are thinking or are truly meaning). I value harmonization and equalty between everyone, and I like almost all kinds of persons, especially when I feel that someone is rejected by others. Even though I'm this outgoing, occasionally I strongly feel like I need sometime on my own, don't know why. Also, I really like to have one-on-one conversations, because I always feel the need to know one's internal problems, doubts and etc. I'm good to get confidence from someone to get such information.
I love to have fun, and I love to know and experience new kinds of pleasure. Also, I'm very distracted, mainly with subjects I don't like. It feel like I don't pay enough attention to minor details.

I don't know if that's enough, but those are my main characteristics. So, can you guys guess my type?

Welcome to the forums [MENTION=14632]IceBlock[/MENTION] :) :hi:

From the information that you posted here, I'd say that JCF wise you could be ESFP, ENFJ, ENFP, or maybe even ESFJ; probably ExFP considering that you seem to be more of an Fi user as opposed to Fe (assuming that you personally value harmonization and equality because you want to, not out of a sense of external obligation according to others), and Pe seems possible.

Enneagram wise, I'd say 7w6 > 9w1 > 2w3 sx/so seems likely (although the 2w3 may not be correct, you could be 4w3 as well).

Overall more information would be great, as would the results of this test: http://www.keys2cognition.com/explore.htm

Thank you!

I've recently found out that I'm an ENFP, with weak E and N, but strong F and even stronger P.
As you said, I'm a Fi user, since I simply like harmony without external obligation.
So, you partly got my type right!

About the Enneagram, I've read more about it and it seems pretty confusing. Some test scored me as:

Type 9 - 9.7
Type 2 - 7.7
Type 3 - 7.3

Wing 9w8 - 11.6
Wing 2w3 - 11.4
Wing 3w2 - 11.2

Type 9, The Peacemaker, really seemed like me, but I feel I'm not all that, and there are lacking characteristics. The Wing 9w8 it's not me at all.
Well, anyway, thanks for your help.

Don't place too much faith into the MBTI dichotomies (E/I, N/S, T/F, P/J), they're not at all accurate nor useful; Jung's congitive functions are considered the norm in the typology community; ENFP is still a very possible type ofr you though :yes:

Don't place too much faith into tests, they can only give you a general idea of your type but are no subsitute for actual analysis. I'd rcommend reading up the enneagram on these sites here:

And if you want to take interest in socionics (a third type system that's different from JCF but uses similar terminology):

http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.php?title=Wikisocion_home

Hope that helps :)
