Interaction styles, and how they correlate with MBTI. This was brought up in another thread, so I'll discuss it here.
If your'e not aware, there are four interaction styles.
Chart-the-Course: ISTJ, ISTP, INTJ, and INFJ
Behind-the-Scenes: ISFJ, ISFP, INFP, and INTP
Get-Things-Going: ESFJ, ESFP, ENFP, ENTP
In-Charge: ESTJ, ESTP, ENTJ, and ENFJ
I think these can account for a lot more than we think. I don't want to put him on the spot, but I'll bring in [MENTION=20829]Hard[/MENTION] here. Many here think he isn't an ENFJ. Could those non-ENFJ qualities be because ENFJ is the only Feeling type in the In-Charge interaction style group? Perhaps this is also why ESFJs type as ENFPs (as referenced in [MENTION=10082]Starry[/MENTION]'s thread). Maybe this is why INFPs and INTPs are always mixing themselves up. And, for the age-old INFP vs INFJ question, could interaction styles help the confused INFx in their typing process?
I am fairly confident that I am in the Behind-the-Scenes grouping, after having read about it and taking this test. Knowing I am undoubtedly an F, I can narrow myself down to INFP, ISFP, and ISFJ. Of the IxFx types, INFJ is the one that doesn't match as well. This seems a lot simpler than sorting through 16.
For the test - Otter correlates with Get-Things-Going, Retriever correlates with Behind-the-Scenes, Beaver correlates with Chart-the-Course, and Lion correlates with In-Charge.
What is your input?
