No, Forever. You don't just go around agreeing with peoples' typings. You had one job here, sir. ONE JOB. :mad:


Haha! That's really tough cause I agree with your enneagram stacking also... but

PERHAPS..

Nah, I got nothing. :laugh:

For what it's worth...

[MENTION=29179]Rouskyrie[/MENTION]

I recently updated to ENTx. Contemplating going full ENTP. Looking for feedback in advance of decision. My functional stack last time I checked was something like:

Te>Ti>Ni=Ne>Se>Fe>Fi>Si

... if you're an ENTP, I have to re-think a lot of things. I relate too much to the way you operate to think you're anything but a fellow Te-dom.

I also think that ENTJ Te is inherently more "squishy" than ESTJ Te, so in the event that some of this is coming from comparing yourself to ESTJs, then... that's my $0.02.

No no no no no no no!

Te all the way yo! Te+Ni. There is no Si in you.

I am not saying Ni is better than Si. Si wins real life, day in day out.

This might sound bizarre, but my impression is the exact opposite of your declared type as ISTJ. You seem ENFP to me.

Thank you for letting me know! Don't worry, it's not bizarre at all - just interesting to see what are the possibilities that others see. :)

Hrrm... my guess would've been NFJ. Maaaaybe SFP.

Actually, this reminds me of of [MENTION=22782]Mademoiselle[/MENTION]. Both of you have something visual and image-oriented about your presentations (as far as forum posts go) that I don't associate with TJ types. I'm probably the only one who sees it that way, though. It's likely my associations are the problem.

Enneagram I won't touch except to say 8s seem more forward and less inscrutable.

I haven't read your blog or perused your posts, which I should do before commenting on someone's type. On thinking about it, that sounds stalkery. So I won't do it.

The only explaination is that, .. I'm BADASS.
I sometimes doubt my Ex/Intorversion,
but I can't possibly be anything far from an -NT-
That's for sure.
And why I rock what other types are supposed to be all about?
I might be .. just.. BADASS.

I typed ENTP pretty consistently until I went to college. I feel pretty solid in the typing until I'm around others who are ENTJ. I think my Te-usage is squishier than some others. I think female Te-doms may have to socialize their dominant function a bit more than our male counterparts do, however.

[MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] or [MENTION=26167]Ursa[/MENTION]--do y'all have any opinion on what I'm describing above?

I am very flattered that my opinion is considered worth asking, [MENTION=7254]Wind Up Rex[/MENTION].

I think your tritype largely has to do with what you have described. The enneagram type 5 is extremely detached, analytical, withdrawn and miserly with resources. 5s are subdued, and they prefer to look before leaping, sometimes not leaping at all. In your case, I think this manifests in a certain degree of reservation. The enneagram type 3 is people-pleasing and calculating. Perhaps this is influencing you being more socialized than other ENTJs. As a female, your 3-fix is probably especially attuned to some of the socio-professional expectations placed on females.

I have my own biases as an ESTJ 874. I am expansive, and because of my 4-fix, I have cared very little for adjusting to my gender role. I have always relished bucking the trend. I grew up refusing to learn how to dress and behave like a lady, and refusing to endorse popular or common-sense ideologies. As far as masculinity goes, I always keep up with the EXTJ boys. They often invite me to their workout sessions, too. Many of my high school peers back in the day voted me an Honorary Man, and they did not mean this maliciously. I cherish this memory.

For better or for worse, not much has changed. With a 7-fix, I have always been people-oriented to the extreme as a way to escape having to deal with my own emotional tumult.

I will need to review much more of your posts to be sure, but my gut feeling is that you are still an ENTJ. You do not have that Ne-inspired reason to change or introduce new topics, and I don't see you using Fe.

At any rate, ENTJ 853 is a wonderful typing. I wouldn't have you any other way.

**** this. I ain't capable of discovering my type on my own. Is there an expert that wants to hear my lifestory and try to type me?

Have you taken the tests that basically tell you what your stacks are?

Typologycentral Keirsey and Jung Test
Example 1

I can see INTJ because your questions seem to be very Ni (...I think an S type would be far more specific and concrete in asking questions about things they want to know, and Ni has this flattening effect to get to the heart of the matter), but it could also be Ti-Ne (Wherein Ti goes "okay if I limit this question people are going to answer a specific way"). Not an expert, look into it and see what you've got.

...Then set it aside and look into Big 5 because it's actually scientific and stuff like MBTI are basically just for fun and self-improvement.

Thank you for the answer!

I tried ALL the possible tests too many times. I know the questions too well, and I basically see them as: "Are you Ti?" etc. They don't work for me anymore.

I looked into Big 5, but it's not a fun challenge like MBTI. I don't know why, but it just feels boring.

The thing about MBTI is that I know too much about it. The problem is that I don't know who I am.

I feel, though. I didn't bother looking into Big5 beyond the superficial descriptive. The thing about consciousness is that it's so hard to explain, so we try to hold on to whatever other theories there are.

What do you feel are the functions that best describe your thought processes and how instinctive do you think you come to it? I basically just kinda went "eh" at some point and just figured out that the stacks vaguely fit ISTJ, the rest is... irrelevant... Since the description doesn't fit me and all that.

I'm pretty sure I'm intuitive. I can relate to both Ne and Ni, so yeah, it's difficult for me to choose one. I relate to Te and Fi, but I'm not sure which is stronger. I also strongly relate to the inferior Fe descriptions. It's just a huge mess. I could literally be all the types. I'm even thinking that I could be Ne-dom (and I'm the most introverted person ever).

Does that mean you think of yourself as a perceiving dom, then?

For what it's worth, you don't come across as an Ne dom to me, and I relate to inferior Fe too, but I think prioritising Fi comes first. Fe is the weakest point for me - but there's no escaping group norms, and wanting social acceptance is usually something most people take into account.

I also think there's a certain level of health to be considered, even if it's not spelt out in a systematic way like Enneatypes do. The thing is, people have access to and use all functions (I'd argue that my shadow Ti is probably better than a lot of ... people's...), and I think the function stacks are a little bullshit because sometimes there's just a certain circumstantial need to tap into a certain function, and with use comes development due to neuroplasticity. But don't quote me on this, because I'm not an expert.

Why do you want to know for certain? (Is it important to know for certain? Are you simply bouncing around these ideas?) What do you plan to do with the knowledge?

I mostly relate to Ji-dom. ENTP was just a possibility (an unlikely one).
I want to know it just because this stuff is stuck in my head. The fact that the descriptions of the functions, of the types etc are so vague and subjective pisses me off. Understanding my type... it's something I started months ago. And I won't stop searching until I'll find the answer.

I looked at your "Type me" post and saw Fi and Si coming up pretty high. I'll probably head over to your thread and give you a lookover.

I actually got like... uhm, 3 "type me" threads, if I recall correctly, lol. My behaviours and answers change drastically depending ono my mood. One thread I got ISTP, in the other one INFP, and in another one I got ISTJ. Trying to type me is harder than typing a chameleon.

Chiming in quickly, of the three, two of them (INFP, ISTJ) share all the same functions. Perhaps that narrows things down a little?
