TheChosenOne said:Okay, I sort of get what you're saying. Are you saying that I was ISTJ before too, despite not behaving like one?
Back a couple of years ago, I was a much more outgoing person. I would be energized by being around more people as opposed to being alone. I would talk before thinking, mainly for the purposes of comedic entertainment. I was a clown/comedian in a good sense. I was faaar more laid back, not caring much about priorities. I would feel much more comfortable around a bunch of people as opposed to just one person, even if the person was a close friend. Now all that is the opposite.
I have a very strong feeling my MBTI type changed. What do you think? Was I an ESTJ/ESTP before?
I also want to add that my functions go like an ENFP's would. Fi=Ne>Te>Si=Se=Ni etc.
What is your Enneagram type?
Regardless your case, there is theory that enneagram type takes over our personality in teenage and early 20ies.
You didnt give enough info to say. What was more natural to you?
I think your MBTI type cant change, but you can act differently then your true type.
Some extraverted person can because of lack of self esteem, or depression, act introverted.. some Thinker may forse Feeling because people keep telling him he is too cold etc.
I have similar case, I was extremely extraverted until age 15, then moderately until 19, and then I become lot introverted last 3 yrs, but I had much family problems that literaly prevented me from socializing for 1 year,.. and I am too sensitive person so I process slow with Fi, so maybe Ne was pushed by Fi-noone can process sadness with Ne, because my father died and they say then when people lose someone they change personality for months/years after. That was my case. I am more prone to thinking I am E because I feel more natural in Ne dominant then Fi dominant, but I am still not sure....
I'm pretty sure my Enneagram type is 5. Not as sure as I am about my MBTI type, but it's most likely type 5.
I don't get it, I used to be so social, used to be incredibly energized by people. I enjoyed their company, and they definitely enjoyed me. I couldn't care less about everything else when I was with people. And then... everything gradually changed. Now I'm more anxious with others, and it's more of a difficult task to be with people.
Actually I'm not so sure I'm 5. I took tests, and I've received 3, 6, 1, and even 7.
It's not people. Find an activity that requires so much focus on the activity itself that you're not allowed to let your mind wander, and you'll find out how introverted you really are.
how is ESTP your shadow? Because it's Si and Te reversed?
