Final Round! Here's hoping to figure it out for once and for all!!

[Mayflower]

Hello. Yes...It's me again. (I see your eyes rolling!) I limited it down to XSTP. I even humored ISTJ but who knows. Step up and give your say! There may be a cookie for you, maybe...

SCENARIO

FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE

Your significant other just ended your 2 year relationship quite suddenly and with no apparent explanation. Up until this point you had both been talking about marriage and last week you even went to look at rings together. Now he/she won't even return your phone calls or texts. After talking with his/her family you find out that he/she has just been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer. ​

- Describe how this scenario would make you feel as well as what sort of influences and motivations lie behind those feelings. Why do you feel the way you do?

- In this scenario what would you honestly say the primary focus of your feelings would be?

Response: I would be distraught. I would then understand that she withdrew from me to protect me from the pain of losing her. I would also feel bad that I am not with her during such a time. Even though she broke off our relationship, we're friends right? I'll stick by them.

SCENARIO 2

FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE

You are in college and this semester both you and your roommate end up in the same class together. You and your roommate get along fairly well and the living situation works but you aren't particularly close. You both typically do your own thing and are rather indifferent to each other. As the semester progresses you excel and become one of the top students in the class whereas your roommate is struggling significantly to grasp the material. The professor assigns a fairly challenging take home test that is a significant portion of your grade. He/she makes it clear that while it is open book, students are to work alone. Later your roommate comes to you begging for help after struggling with the test most of the weekend. You have already completed the assignment and he/she isn't asking to copy your answers, just to help tutor and mentor them as they struggle to complete the test, so there is no way your professor would ever know. However, this is the first time your room-mate has asked you for help this semester. He/she makes it clear that how they do on this test could mean the difference between passing and failing this class.​

- How do you respond to your roommate’s request and why?

- What sort of things in this scenario stand out to you as far as having a strong influence on your decision making and why?

- Describe the flow of your decision making process.

Response: I would help. Why not? If we're getting along well, no reason to reject. I would feel it would be mean to refuse to help unless factors prevent so (ie schedule) . If it does not actually involve copying my answers, no fear in being punished for cheating either. I would help them to the best of my ability, unless it really cuts into my fun time. Plus, she/he would owe me an unofficial favor.

SCENARIO 3

FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE

Your boss calls you into his/her office in order to assign you to a new project. He/she gives you a choice between two.

Project 1 is a rather broad, expansive project covering multiple areas of company operations. It has the potential to have a very significant impact on company operations but it would require a collective effort and an extensive amount of group work where you would be logically thinking through the project together with the group of individuals your boss has also assigned to it.

Project 2 has a much more specific and narrow focus and would require a significant amount of in depth individual analysis to work through the problem. You would be working alone and the completion of the project may or may not have much impact on company operations. However, after complete the process and problem you were working on will be streamlined and fundamentally understood.​

- Which project appeals to you the most, as it relates to the way you prefer to logically process information? Why?

- What sort of things in this scenario, across either project, stood out to you as having a strong influence on your decision? Why?


Response: I would favor the first project. I don't really like to work on really detailed projects, and I hate working on things for too long (plus, I not really motivated when I'm by myself). Project 1 also seem more of my style, more reward oriented. There is more of a chance to have a significant affect on operations.

SCENARIO 4
FOCUS ON YOUR LOGIC AND THINKING PROCESS HERE

Your college professor has assigned you to a group project with 3 other individuals. All 3 of these individuals have a good strong work ethic and desire to contribute to the overall success of this project. You are at the first meeting of your group and the other members are tossing around valuable ideas as to the nature and direction of this project.

​

- Describe your behavior in this situation as you process and think about the ideas they are presenting.

- Describe what major influences drive this behavior.
Response: If they are tossing out ideas, I would do the same. That is the purpose of groups, right, to band together to get a result.

SCENARIO 5

FOCUS ON THE SOURCES YOU DRAW NON-PHYSICAL ENERGY FROM HERE

It has been a very long week and you feel mentally and emotionally drained, but good news! It is Saturday and you have nothing significant that needs to be done. You FINALLY have some free time to yourself to recharge your batteries and do whatever you want.​

- Describe what sort of activities would help you to recharge. What would you enjoy doing after a long week and why?

- What sort of things do you feel you draw non-physical energy from doing?
Response: I would binge game and whatever else (eating drinking, exercise, etc). No deep reason why, I just enjoy doing them. Drawing non-physical energy? I just recharge doing things that I like. If it peaked my interest, I'm focused.

SCENARIO 6

FOCUS ON THINKING VS FEELING HERE

You have a meeting with your college career counselor to discuss potential careers that interest you. He/she offers you a list of the following careers and asks you to pick your TOP 3. He/she asks you to take money out of the equation. Imagine all of these careers received equal compensation. Focus instead on where you would truly feel most happy and fulfilled.

Artist, Scientist, Actor, Engineer, Musician, Lawyer, Counselor, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Manager, Psychologist, Computer Programmer / Analyst, Clergy, Child Care, Medical Doctor

​

- What were your top 3 choices and what aspects of these careers appeal to you?

- Was it difficult or easy to pick only 3 and why?

- Prioritize the aspects of your career choices that influenced your decision, what things mattered most to you, where do you imagine finding the most fulfillment and why?

Response: I would say Artist, Engineer, can't say what the third would be, Teacher maybe? It wasn't really hard to choose but not easy either. Even at 25, I still don't know what I want to do. I chose Artist because I like making things look good. However, It wouldn't be in the typical way like art galleries (I hate that real artsy stuff) This leads to my next one, Engineer. If I have any talent, it's working on things. I likes cars specifically. So. I would put my aesthetic focus toward cars and make them look good. So I guess I would steer toward Aero Designer.

SCENARIO 7

Click on the image below and pay close attention to the things that jump out to you, objects, thoughts, feelings, impressions, ideas etc. What do you see?

View attachment 295170​

- Describe the main things that stand out to you in this picture.

- Why do you think/feel you focused on those things?

- Describe the strength with which this photo did or did not appeal to you and why?


I can't say anything stood out apart from the few green trees next to the river. They stood out because of the contrast of color, the lush trees against the canyon face. Anyway, I did not really find the photo interesting just because (a bit boring, but I never been one to focus on photos).

Scenario 1
The purpose here is to try to get a sense of Fe or Fi from the feelings / reaction they describe. Pay close attention to what the individual talks about as that is typically where their focus lies. Look beyond the decisions and try to discern what is motivating and driving the decision.

Fe:

• May describe feeling overwhelmed, numb, or confused about their own emotions (especially if tertiary or inferior Fe)
• May try to assume or describe what their SO might be feeling
• Their own feelings may be strongly influenced or even overwritten by what they assume their SO is feeling
• Any decisions they make will be strongly influenced by what they perceive their SO is feeling as well as the outcome for themselves and their SO

Fi:

• May very clearly describe exactly what and how they would be feeling in response to their SO’s actions
• May express confusion as to what their SO is feeling or a desire to try and understand their feelings
• Their own feelings will be clear and independent from whatever their SO might be feeling
• Any decisions they make will be strongly influenced by what they feel is the right thing to do independent of the outcome on their SO

**Things to be aware of**

• Pay attention to “T” analytical influence and approach to this scenario, may indicate T dom over F dom
• Avoid stereotyping based on decisions made. Both Fi and Fe can display empathy for example
  • ex: insisting on staying by their SO’s side until the end. They each get to the decision by a different cognitive path.
  • Fi – because they determine it is the right thing to do.
  • Fe – Because of perceived negative effect on SO or themselves if they don't
  • Keep in mind there may not be an extreme noticable difference, both Fi and Fe can consider both, They each give a bit more emphasis and priority to one over the other

Scenario 2
The purpose here again is to try and get a sense of Fe or Fi influence on decisions. Pay close attention to what the individual talks most about as that is likely where their F focus lies. Look beyond the decisions and try to discern what is motivating and driving the decision.

Fe:

• Will express possible outcomes on individuals involved based on various decisions
• Decision will be mostly focused on the outcome of individuals involved ie: roommate, self, professor
• Determining what is the right or wrong decision will be heavily influenced by outcome

Fi

• Will express value judgments about the situation ie: what they perceive is right or wrong
• Decision will be mostly focused on their internal sense of the right thing to do independent of outcome
• Determining what is right or wrong will be heavily influenced by personal values

**Things to be aware of**

• Do not stereotype based on the decision made, look for the influence behind the decision
  • Ex: Fe may decide not to help because they determine it is a temporary fix for their roommate and in the long run it will help them more to let them learn from this experience on their own
  • Ex: Fi may decide to help because they don’t place much value on the professors definition of right or wrong, instead they determine that letting their roommate struggle is wrong
• Both outcome and personal values may be evident in the decision making process of both Fe and Fi, pay attention to which seems to have the stronger influence.
• Fi does NOT mean “selfish” and Fe does NOT always mean a focus on the other person. Ex: Fe can also have an outcome focus that is based on what would happen to themselves if they decide to help

Scenario 3
The purpose of this scenario is to try and get a sense of Te or Ti in their logical thought process. Pay close attention to what the individual talks most about that appeals or does not appeal to them about each project. Look beyond the decisions and try to discern what is influencing motivating their choice. It may not necessarily be T… it could be N or social introversion / extroversion. Factor in the Fe vs Fi assessment from the first two scenarios. Fe would be paired with Ti and Fi would be paired with Te.

Te

• Strong Te may express enjoyment in logically working through problems with outside influence / stimuli (Primary, Tert Ne influence paired with Te increases the likelihood of this)
• Strong Te may express a desire for relevancy, real world application, effect on the company
• Tert / Inf Te being influenced by Ni may choose to work alone because group idea generation doesn’t appeal to them. The expansive nature of the project may also intimidate them.
• Tert / Inf Te being influenced by Fi may choose to work alone because of past experience with group members not pulling their weight or living up to their standards

Ti

• Strong Ti may express enjoyment in logically digging in to a singular problem preferring to be left alone to “think” (Primary, Tert Ni influence paired with Ti increases the likelihood of this)
• Strong Ti may express a desire to fundamentally understand something as well as show a lack of concern for relevancy or real world application
• Tert / Inf Ti being influenced by Ne may choose to work in a group because collective brainstorming appeals to them. The narrow focus of the individual project may bore them.
• Tert / Inf Ti being influenced by Fe may choose to work in a group because the socialization aspect and group decision making sounds fun.

**Things to be aware of**

• Depending on F / T dominance and N influence… this could end up being a much better determination of extroversion / introversion especially with tertiary and inferior T

Scenario 4
The purpose of this scenario is to again try and get a sense of Te or Ti in their logical thought process. Pay close attention to how the individual’s logical process operates when forced into a social setting where they are receiving input of ideas and possible directions for the project. Look beyond the decisions and try to discern what logical process is influencing their behavior. Be aware of strong Ne / Ni influence here.

Te

• Strong Te may try to step up and take leadership to try and logically put together the ideas being discussed
• Strong Te may have a much more broad encompassing focus to trying to logically unify everyone ie: group voting
• Ne influence will also motivate them to help drive idea generation
• Strong Ne influence will be more driven to generate possibilities rather than externally organize them
• Primary Ni/Si with tertiary Fi may mask Te here and seem like Ti, idea generation may be suppressed and more internal and narrowly focused (Ni), decision may be more personal value focused (Fi)

Ti

• Strong Ti may choose to sit back and absorb the ideas, piecing them together internally. They may or may not choose to speak out eventually describing what they have brought together.
• Strong Ti may have a much more narrow focus, internally picking and trying to unify the best of what was presented
• Ni influence will increase the likelihood of silent observation as well as the internal unification process
• Strong Ni influence will be much more driven to internally putting together the best possible course of action ie: deciding logically what they consider is the best direction for the group
• Primary Ne/Se with tertiary Fe may mask Ti here and seem like Te, behavior may be more broad and encompassing, consist of participation in idea generation (Ne), trying to include the whole group in the decision (Fe)

**Things to be aware of**

• F vs T dominance again plays a big role here especially if is a primary / inferior separation. Be aware of the possibility of strong F influence on their decision.
• N extroversion / introversion also plays a role in their behavior. Alignment with T extroversion / introversion connects the idea generation / logical process together thus strengthening the T effect on behavior. Opposing extroversion / introversion may connect more and align with F and mask the T effect on behavior.
• Pay attention to the possible strength and clarity of F vs T in the scenarios thus far. In a Primary / Inferior combo one will seem very clear the other may be ambiguous or even seem like the opposite of what it is. In an Auxiliary / Tertiary combo both may be fairly clear and align with each other but which is dominant over the other may not.

Scenario 5
This scenario is meant to determine social introversion / extroversion and determine whether they generate their own energy internally or need to draw it in from external sources.

Introversion

• May prefer individual tasks that focus on things that interest them or are important to them
• May show more of a 1 on 1 or intimate focus to socialization

Extroversion

• May prefer activities that provide external stimuli and/or social interaction
• May not show any social anxiety preferring a greater amount of social interaction

**Things to be aware of**

• Pay attention to the extroverted / introverted behaviors shown in scenario 3.
• Primary Ne with aux Ti or Fi may look more introverted because Ne doesn’t necessarily seek out socialization, just external stimuli which could be something like a book or a movie. For example: This is why ENTP is considered the most introverted of the extroverted types, Primary Ne paired with Auxiliary Ti.
• The opposite effect can also manifest in auxiliary Fe users as Fe is a very socially extroverted function.

Scenario 6
This scenario is meant to assess the strength of F vs T as well as what is primarily motivating their choice. Be aware of the influence of the inferior function here as well.

Primary T

• May express more desire for doing things that pertain to analysis and logical thought

Primary F

• May express more desire for self-expression or focus on affecting people

Aux / Tert F and T

• May express both motives from above

**Things to be aware of**

• Combine this with the F / T assessment from scenario 1-4 as well as the introvert / extrovert assessment from scenario 3 and 5
• Both Fe and Te seek broad external relevance on people and/or society in general, if this desire is expressed try to discern whether it comes from an F or T influence.
• Fi influence may be trying to champion a specific cause meaning something in there personal experience caused them to put significant value on a certain cause: ex: helping children overcome abuse
• Ti influence may gravitate more towards individual analytical / logical type work
• Be aware of possible abstract N / objective S influence on F and T here.
• At this point you should have a fairly clear idea of introversion / extroversion as well as Fe/Ti vs Fi/Te. Use the key below to logically narrow down possible primary functions and types. You should be able to narrow it down to 2-4 possibilities here.

Introvert w/ Fe-Ti: Primary or Tertiary function could be Ti

• Strong T influence indicates primary Ti: ISTP / INTP
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicating auxiliary Fe and tertiary Ti: ISFJ / INFJ

Extrovert w/ Fe-Ti: Primary or Tertiary function could be Fe

• Strong F influence indicates primary Fe: ESFJ / ENFJ
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Ti and tertiary Fe: ESTP / ENTP

Introvert w/ Fi-Te: Primary or Tertiary function could be Fi

• Strong F influence indicates primary Fi: ISFP / INFP
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Te and tertiary Fi: ISTJ / INTJ

Extrovert w/ Fi-Te: Primary or Tertiary function could be Te

• Strong T influence indicates primary Te: ESTJ / ENTJ
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Fi and tertiary Te: ESFP / ENFP

Scenario 7
This is primarily meant to determine the strength of N vs S however you can also tell a lot about F and T from the descriptions used here.

• T influence: Will take a more analytical approach to interpreting the image
• F influence: Will describe feelings that the image presents to the individual
• Se influence: Try to take in the big picture all at once, could express being overwhelmed sensory wise
• Si influence: May focus on and notice details, color contrast, textures, may also describe physical sensations they would feel if there
• Ne influence: May express and generate many ideas, concepts, possibilities, patterns in relation to specific details
• Ni influence: May seek a singular and fundamental meaning behind the image, may also have a desire to explore and see more than what is there and/or imagine what could be

**Things to be aware of**

• Primary / Inferior combo of F and T implies Auxiliary / Tertiary combo of N and S and vice versa
• Consider introversion and extroversion in determining primary function possibilities
• Between Scenario 6 and 7 a dominant function should become clear and you should be able to logically narrow things down to 1 or two possible types.
• If the strength of S vs N is ambiguous here it could mean primary F or T. Introversion vs Extroversion should tell you which is primary. Attempt to determine Ni / Se or Ne / Si in order to determine exact type
• If the strength of S vs N is clear it could mean F and T is ambiguous, introversion / extroversion should line up with primary Si / Se or Ni / Ne and thus allow you to determine exact type.

Hmm it's honestly very hard to tell; especially given your enneagram. How do you feel about Ti vs Fi? Do you have personal values that you hold true to, are you constantly assessing your relationships with others? Are you able to actually assess these relations in your head, and understand how others feel about you, and you to them?

Are you able to actually assess these relations in your head, and understand how others feel about you, and you to them?

I don't really hold to any values in particular. I don't really assess my relation to others at all. I have a general idea of it like if someone is a friend and etc, but don't really go out of my way to think about it (if I do that).

Revisiting if I'm Ti or Fi, I can't really say. According to my understanding, Ti judges through principles rather than values like Fi. Ie. Theft or murder. Ti would say, if I steal or murder, I create an environment that makes it valid for me to be stolen from or murdered. Fi on the other hand, would say it is wrong in and of itself to steal or murder arbitrarily. With this I lean Fi.

• Tert / Inf Ti being influenced by Fe may choose to work in a group because the socialization aspect and group decision making sounds fun.

**Things to be aware of**

• Depending on F / T dominance and N influence… this could end up being a much better determination of extroversion / introversion especially with tertiary and inferior T

Scenario 4
The purpose of this scenario is to again try and get a sense of Te or Ti in their logical thought process. Pay close attention to how the individual’s logical process operates when forced into a social setting where they are receiving input of ideas and possible directions for the project. Look beyond the decisions and try to discern what logical process is influencing their behavior. Be aware of strong Ne / Ni influence here.

Te

• Strong Te may try to step up and take leadership to try and logically put together the ideas being discussed
• Strong Te may have a much more broad encompassing focus to trying to logically unify everyone ie: group voting
• Ne influence will also motivate them to help drive idea generation
• Strong Ne influence will be more driven to generate possibilities rather than externally organize them
• Primary Ni/Si with tertiary Fi may mask Te here and seem like Ti, idea generation may be suppressed and more internal and narrowly focused (Ni), decision may be more personal value focused (Fi)

Ti

• Strong Ti may choose to sit back and absorb the ideas, piecing them together internally. They may or may not choose to speak out eventually describing what they have brought together.
• Strong Ti may have a much more narrow focus, internally picking and trying to unify the best of what was presented
• Ni influence will increase the likelihood of silent observation as well as the internal unification process
• Strong Ni influence will be much more driven to internally putting together the best possible course of action ie: deciding logically what they consider is the best direction for the group
• Primary Ne/Se with tertiary Fe may mask Ti here and seem like Te, behavior may be more broad and encompassing, consist of participation in idea generation (Ne), trying to include the whole group in the decision (Fe)

**Things to be aware of**

• F vs T dominance again plays a big role here especially if is a primary / inferior separation. Be aware of the possibility of strong F influence on their decision.
• N extroversion / introversion also plays a role in their behavior. Alignment with T extroversion / introversion connects the idea generation / logical process together thus strengthening the T effect on behavior. Opposing extroversion / introversion may connect more and align with F and mask the T effect on behavior.
• Pay attention to the possible strength and clarity of F vs T in the scenarios thus far. In a Primary / Inferior combo one will seem very clear the other may be ambiguous or even seem like the opposite of what it is. In an Auxiliary / Tertiary combo both may be fairly clear and align with each other but which is dominant over the other may not.

Scenario 5
This scenario is meant to determine social introversion / extroversion and determine whether they generate their own energy internally or need to draw it in from external sources.

Introversion

• May prefer individual tasks that focus on things that interest them or are important to them
• May show more of a 1 on 1 or intimate focus to socialization

Extroversion

• May prefer activities that provide external stimuli and/or social interaction
• May not show any social anxiety preferring a greater amount of social interaction

**Things to be aware of**

• Pay attention to the extroverted / introverted behaviors shown in scenario 3.
• Primary Ne with aux Ti or Fi may look more introverted because Ne doesn’t necessarily seek out socialization, just external stimuli which could be something like a book or a movie. For example: This is why ENTP is considered the most introverted of the extroverted types, Primary Ne paired with Auxiliary Ti.
• The opposite effect can also manifest in auxiliary Fe users as Fe is a very socially extroverted function.

Scenario 6
This scenario is meant to assess the strength of F vs T as well as what is primarily motivating their choice. Be aware of the influence of the inferior function here as well.

Primary T

• May express more desire for doing things that pertain to analysis and logical thought

Primary F

• May express more desire for self-expression or focus on affecting people

Aux / Tert F and T

• May express both motives from above

**Things to be aware of**

• Combine this with the F / T assessment from scenario 1-4 as well as the introvert / extrovert assessment from scenario 3 and 5
• Both Fe and Te seek broad external relevance on people and/or society in general, if this desire is expressed try to discern whether it comes from an F or T influence.
• Fi influence may be trying to champion a specific cause meaning something in there personal experience caused them to put significant value on a certain cause: ex: helping children overcome abuse
• Ti influence may gravitate more towards individual analytical / logical type work
• Be aware of possible abstract N / objective S influence on F and T here.
• At this point you should have a fairly clear idea of introversion / extroversion as well as Fe/Ti vs Fi/Te. Use the key below to logically narrow down possible primary functions and types. You should be able to narrow it down to 2-4 possibilities here.

Introvert w/ Fe-Ti: Primary or Tertiary function could be Ti

• Strong T influence indicates primary Ti: ISTP / INTP
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicating auxiliary Fe and tertiary Ti: ISFJ / INFJ

Extrovert w/ Fe-Ti: Primary or Tertiary function could be Fe

• Strong F influence indicates primary Fe: ESFJ / ENFJ
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Ti and tertiary Fe: ESTP / ENTP

Introvert w/ Fi-Te: Primary or Tertiary function could be Fi

• Strong F influence indicates primary Fi: ISFP / INFP
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Te and tertiary Fi: ISTJ / INTJ

Extrovert w/ Fi-Te: Primary or Tertiary function could be Te

• Strong T influence indicates primary Te: ESTJ / ENTJ
• Ambiguous F / T influence indicates auxiliary Fi and tertiary Te: ESFP / ENFP

Scenario 7
This is primarily meant to determine the strength of N vs S however you can also tell a lot about F and T from the descriptions used here.

• T influence: Will take a more analytical approach to interpreting the image
• F influence: Will describe feelings that the image presents to the individual
• Se influence: Try to take in the big picture all at once, could express being overwhelmed sensory wise
• Si influence: May focus on and notice details, color contrast, textures, may also describe physical sensations they would feel if there
• Ne influence: May express and generate many ideas, concepts, possibilities, patterns in relation to specific details
• Ni influence: May seek a singular and fundamental meaning behind the image, may also have a desire to explore and see more than what is there and/or imagine what could be

**Things to be aware of**

• Primary / Inferior combo of F and T implies Auxiliary / Tertiary combo of N and S and vice versa
• Consider introversion and extroversion in determining primary function possibilities
• Between Scenario 6 and 7 a dominant function should become clear and you should be able to logically narrow things down to 1 or two possible types.
• If the strength of S vs N is ambiguous here it could mean primary F or T. Introversion vs Extroversion should tell you which is primary. Attempt to determine Ni / Se or Ne / Si in order to determine exact type
• If the strength of S vs N is clear it could mean F and T is ambiguous, introversion / extroversion should line up with primary Si / Se or Ni / Ne and thus allow you to determine exact type.

I think:
- Your dominant function is Se, and the relationship between your Se and Ni is fairly healthy.
- You fall on the Fi/Te axis, and although it could be argued that your interactions with others suggest Fe, I believe that to be because of Se-Te interaction.
Therefore: ESFP is most likely.
