I agree that 3 in contradictory to Perceiving- but not sure how it would conflict with N and F- can you explain?
Also- King of Despair- love, love, LOVE the pic- big toothless fan. :hi:
By definition 3 means having no feelings, blocking them because they distract you from the "important" stuff (achieving your goals), that contradicts F, and especially NF because NFs are all about feelings. Also, more severe case of 3 is all about achieving goals no matter what, while NFs care very much about being authentic. 3 doesnt know what authentic means!!! Only knows what "should be done" to be successfull. This is why 1 and 3 can at first look the same bc 3 knows what should be done so she can be good, moral, "right", and 3 so she would not FAIL.
NF doesnt know about failure, because being yourself is all that is important.
i am bit uninspired now for better explanation so maybe later.
i had some idea of how healthy 3 (i mean REALLY healthy) would go very well with NF, but i dont know for sure just a hunch, because 3's "gift" is "truthfullness" and NFs go very well with that. But we're talking about average 3 here..
thought i think NFJ and 3 is much better match than NFP and 3.
I dont really see a need for wings. Wings usually describe MBTI type. For ex. NT and type 4, will be "4w5" in most cases, and NF and type 4 will be more often 4w3 than NT will, it only describes MBTI type.... because if you look at more closely what being 4 really means - it's so much different than being 3 than you cant be imo 3w4, you'd be nuts completely and your 3/4 wouldnt serve you at all.
or if you're NT type 4, and you type yourself as 4w5, when you read superficially E5's characteristics you'll find yourself but only because you're NT, not because you relate to 5 for real. if you go and read real 5 fixations and whats behind that behavior you'll figure that you dont really use that defenses (asuming you really are 4).
because if you look at your reaction to stress - 3 blocks all feelings. I know it very well. I cant feel anything if i'm very stressed it's not even funny... while 4 will be very dramatic and feel A LOT. how can i then be 3w4? how would i act during stress? it's very opposite. only way to explain conflict in 3w4s and 4w3s is by looking at NF and thinking how my NF conflicts with 3, and while as NF i have deep feelings and lots of them, as 3 I'm completely blocked and "doer"
