I am confused as well. I just ... I identified with being ESTP for seven months. I could see high Se, it bothers me that the people who know me best say otherwise. I am sure of ExFP. Maybe my questionnaire don't represent me well. I have no clue. Negus said my questionnaire screamed ExFP, but he could not see Se, even after arguments. He says that if I did use Se it would be inferior. He is writing a post now to convince me I couldn't be higher Se. Someone is pretty determined ... I wonder what [MENTION=26521]Cries in Spanish[/MENTION] has to say after giving it a night as we talk a lot as well. It is not that the idea of ESFP is off putting, in facts ESxP's are my favorite type of people. If my friends could see it, I would just change my type to ESFP. That and that tell sign list are the only things stopping me from doing that. My INTP brother has known me for 15 years now and he has recently gotten into Jung's functions (yay) and he can't see ESxP either and it's confusing me. Hdjdassdjasadjsdmjdsmmddms *sigh*.
Yah I just re-read through the signs of someone not being a type... myths etc (quite confusingly written, too many negatives in there for me)... and actually I don't think it's all correct so that probably is quite misleading. For example ESFP are quite happy reliving the past (from their own perspective) in conversation and tbh it's a bit ridiculous to say that anyone only ever lives in the moment because we all use all the functions and in varying orders and different formulas...
You know I could go through this with you step by step but it would be a stretch for me to put myself in a dissecting position as it's not my preferred corner of the room. I am happy to do it though, if you think it would be beneficial to your situation but I would prefer not to if it will cause contention and strife because it will be draining enough in and of itself... Alternatively I would be happy to speak with you on vent. Do you go on vent? A mod could hit you up with a password and some login deets if you want to try it out.
