Man, I wanted to quote so many people, but the dumb multiquote isn’t working for me.
Anyway. I guess I would say I usually type “NJâ€, “NPâ€, “SPâ€, and “SJâ€
Though my usual typing method is to work backwards. When I'm around someone, the tendency is to type the whole picture using dichotomies. (Since, honestly, I can't say what's going on in their head. I can only say what I see.)"This person is an ESTP"... (Next time) "No, they're an ESTJ". I am able to change it as time goes on. Then as I get to know people, I can start to get their functions down better. Usually the person's type changes drastically over a short period of knowing them and then I start to narrow things down better. "Maybe not an ESTJ, but an SJ for sure." Often times, I find that the 4 two letter pairings above are typed correctly the first time.
As a side note, Elfboy's comment about not relating by changing the N/S is right for me, too. (This is not to say that I don't relate to them on other levels or like them), but usually after getting to know an ENFP I feel completely and totally different from them in thought processing, Ne is very foreign to me. Seems like Fi and Te may even present a little differently in combination with the Ne as opposed to the Se. (Just a thought/ guessing. ) In fact, I feel that I think more similarly to an ENTJ. (Same functions, different order.) Or perhaps a better way to put it is that I behave more like an ENFP, but think more like an ENTJ. It's not really related to the OP, just wanted to comment.
(And as a side side side side note- since I haven’t had my coffee yet and can’t seem to get my mind straight this morning.)
My typing skills aren’t actually all that bad. In my last semester of nursing school they made us split up in to groups in the class, (there was about 50 people in the class.) 50 people that I had been mentally trying to type for the last two years. We split off into 4 groups, orange, gold, green, and blue (SP’s, SJ’s, NT’s, and NF’s), respectively. I was surprised to find out that my guesses weren’t that far off! Of course a class of nurses are likely to be made up of mostly SJ’s, followed by NF’s, (which was true.) It was nice to be able to test my typing skills. Though somehow I scored gold on the test and ended up with a big group of SJ’s and was bummed out because they were taking the group activities way too serious and it was really uptight the whole time. Either way, what was hilarious was when the whole thing kind of started to turn into the forum. (The instructor asking gold’s if oranges annoyed them sometimes…â€Because as a gold, I get anxious when things aren’t structured.†LoL!)
