- MBTI Type
- INFP
I'm just curious as how easy (or possibility %) we can change Type?
for example, from an INFP into ISFJ , ...and what's more curious is: is it even easy (and possible) to change only ONE letter, for example: from INFP to INFJ.
or from INTJ to INTP, or from INTP to ENTP, or from INTP to ISTP ?
how easy/hard is that?
and if easy, then HOW or what makes it possible to change ur "natural preference"?
The reason I'm asking this is that i've heard too many people here say that MBTI is just like horoscope-reading! and an INTJ friend of mine, although at first he gasped & wow-ed like crazy everytime he reads the INTJ description, which really surprisingly fits well wit him, suddenly turns 'cold' & said that: "c'mon! we can be ANYTHING we want to be! doesn't matter all those labels! besides, it's just human-made! ...you ARE you! not INFP, not INTP,
INTJ, whatever!"
I personally disagree that we can easily change Type, even for just ONE letter-change, is not easy. This is my opinion, because after all, MBTi is all about NATURAL preferences....and I somehow believe (based also from my own personal experiences from childhood times!) that natural preferences IS just natural preferences, and ever since we're childhood , the "preferences" just can't change easily as many people might think.
Hence, I believe that it's even hard from INTP to morph into INTJ, for example... EXCEPT if the person is undergoing a very heavy & tremendous pressure to change (ie: can be pressure from society, or life-circumstances).
What do u guys think?
