Any idea on my type?

[Forever_Jung]

Nah, it wasn't a case of shy/outgoing...but other anecdotes on here seem to point towards people being absolutely exhausting. Like they enjoy it and all, but their alone time has to over-compensate for them to energise. I wasn't sure if I found that - which is odd, considering I spend 7 hours at school with people, but not always conversing (y'know, classes and all that) and about 7 hours by myself: either in my room or at the gym. So I could well be introverted; I just never really pinpointed it because I was so used to that routine.

Actually, now that I think of it: sometimes I join my friend's party on xbox...I join in the conversation loads at first, but after a while I mostly just listen, and only join in when I have something interesting to say.

Also, I've spent the last 4 days basically by myself - I've been sick off school, my parents have been out - and not talking to anyone for 8+ hours per day has had no negative effect on me. I've been reading, gaming, etc. I've been fine.



Well, my prose is a little simplistic and immature - I don't blame you

Basically, if I'm upset, I need to go away by myself and let the waves of emotion wash over me; these waves are intermittent, too. So i'll be relatively upset for a few minutes, then it'll die down, then something I think of will bring it back. I ride through this by myself, and after a while I can calm myself down adequately. If I were to be around other people, it would be worse. Alone I can let my emotions decompress. With people, emotional response is heightened yet I feel more locked inside myself.

Yeah, based on this, I would be flabbergasted if you were an extravert. Also, your prose isn't simplistic and immature, I just like things spelled out for me sometimes.

I see :3 so if you were in my current situation - alone for 8 hours per day - you'd feel like something was wrong? Like...brain fog, or restlessness?

Yes, I would probably be unhappy, unless it were something drastic and I were recuperating from an insanely busy week. But even then I would probably be good after about 2-3 hours of being alone, and would seek company after that. I could not maintain it on any regular schedule.

Heh, thank you ;3

We shall see - still undecided; seeking outside knowledge and validation am I. ;D

I see..well, I think i'm more introverted than that I guess

EnxP

Extraverted Intuitive types report varying degrees of concern about whether others see them as having substance, stability, and depth

When put in this position, Extraverted Intuitive types seek confirmation of their factual basis from others.

One major stressor is dealing with an overwhelming workload. This stressor may be particularly problematic for ENTPs and ENFPs because of their difficulty in distinguishing between the challenge and excitement of multiple demands and a totally unreasonable workload.

e types to lose energy and become demotivated at work. An ENTP said that what he finds stressful is “lack of space, routine and mundane activities, people looking over my shoulder, unproductive meetings, unnecessary reports.” Another ENTP added “boundaries, a judgmental atmosphere, constraints, negativity or apathy from others.”

Many young male and female ENTPs and ENFPs report becoming uncharacteristically quiet and reserved when they are out of character and find this in marked contrast to their usual openness and sociability. Like other young Extraverted types, they do not seem to find anything positive in moving to this Introverted approach, but are rather puzzled and surprised by it. “I become very quiet and reserved,” said an ENTP young man, “and I don’t talk to people like I normally do.” An ENFP young woman said, “Sometimes I withdraw from everyone, sit alone for hours, and just think. Let stuff stew in my head alone.” ---- this so much!

An ENFP said, “There is a lot more going on inside my head. I want to be alone to think and it becomes one-track thinking. Everything else is clouded by this one issue—I can’t stop thinking about it. I lose confidence in myself and doubt myself in every realm of my life.”

IxFP

They place a high value on affirming both their own and others’ individuality and uniqueness.

Underlying their characteristic tolerance is an overarching natural curiosity. They find the diversity in the world immensely appealing

may be concerned about their intellectual abilities, often viewing others, particularly Thinking types, as smarter and more knowledgeable than themselves.

An INFP said he gets in the grip “when someone really steps on my core values, i.e., accuses me of being dishonest.” Another INFP said, “Unfairness, social injustice, manipulation; when someone is unwilling to discuss problems that need to be resolved and not left to just ‘go away’; when someone is not authentic and honest in a relationship.”


Another trigger for the inferior function of Introverted Feeling types occurs when they project their own unrealistic standard of competence onto others and feel they have not lived up to other people’s expectations. “I know I should have been better prepared for that one scene in the play,” said an INFP.“It ruined the whole thing.” Obsessing on this one perceived inadequacy could quickly lead to a full-fledged experience of inferior Extraverted Thinking.

I mostly enjoy debating opinions with others; I gain energy from it. This is Te, right?

Te is about a drive to come to intellectual conclusions and rid oneself of subjective influences.

(subjective influences are subjective, don't mix Te with the end-all of objectivity)

I had a debate with my friends on abortion, I think. I argued objectively and a few of them appealed to emotion "but it's an innocent baby!" not sure if this is Te though.

 

[Anew Leaf]

I'm now considering changing my MBTI type on here to IxFP (image is everything you know)
What I'm really struggling with is intro/extro. I can't describe what I'm thinking about it...but it feels as if I can't be introverted in the classic sense. Excuse my huge brain fog.

Edit: Forever_Jung and skylights - I've just thought of another anecdote: whenever I'm upset and around people, the self-depreciating thoughts get too much for me (it seems as if the surroundings further push me to the brink of tears; or even deeper self-imposed isolation) and I just sit there quietly, not knowing whether or not to pull myself out of it. If I do, I will most likely cheer up slightly, but won't feel completely there. If I leave the room for 10-15 minutes and just decompress, I feel a lot better, and can join everyone once again. I was sure of that just being a thing everyone did, though.

@bold. Yeah... you're ISFP.

 

[MetalMoon]

@bold. Yeah... you're ISFP.

Heh, I was being sarcastic, if that's the basis of the ISFPness ;D
