To be honest I think that people are falling into a trap here when it comes to this entire ENxP introverted thing.
ENxPs that are less extroverted will be like this. While strongly extroverted ENxP will not relate. However since this is a internet forum strongly extroverted ENxP are much less likely to come here and post. If nothing that would be because they have a too short attention span for "real foruming". Plus they have confidance in their social skills while that is less correct for Ne-doms that are low in E , what in the end places them in non-plesant position. Which is because they still need people quite a bit but they have comunication problems especially since they get outspoken in converstions easily.
So in the end it looks like that Ne-doms are not that much social which is simply because we have misleading sample of Ne-doms on the forum.
Also since the general atmosphere on the forum is like this a number of INxPs now thinks that they are ENxPs. What simply isn't true.

I think you have your definitions confused, as a result of MBTI not coining its own phrases. I use extraverted intuition, which is still a relatively introverted, observational function. I am also extroverted in the general sense but I rarely like dealing with people. I am confident and bold and daring. I constantly do things on my own because most people tend to slow me down and I don't talk much to people, so I appear to be very introverted in the MBTI sense and in the general sense.
But truth be told, I am indeed an extrovert. I just choose to be quiet and observe people., rather than engage them until I feel like participating. I don't speak just to speak.
And I use the internet constantly. Currently, I am at a table with 3 friends and 6 kids - I am maintaining a conversation with each person individually (including each child) while I am typing this on my phone. This is how my Ne manifests - juggling many things at once, rather than just being "social". So your internet theory may not hold water.
Yeah, but other people don't know that.
And it just occurred to me that you Ns don't really care too much about getting your terms straight, and discuss things like this while having a hazy definition; but knowing what you're talking about. So whatever, you all know what you're talking about. It's just an annoying misunderstanding of what it is is all.
This is a very annoying statement, especially coming from you - a self proclaimed N until just recently.
Being an N has nothing to do with getting terms straight. Any S or N can speak with haziness if they don't have a good grasp on what they are speaking about. As a matter of fact, MBTI teaches that Ti users are among the most precise of the types. Many examples are given of Ti users studying specialized dictionaries just for fun as children. I did that as well. Precision in language is very important to me, and I am most definitely an N.
