You seem to be flatly rejecting the idea that ENTPs can feel more introverted than other E types despite what ENTPs are saying.
Your assumption seems to be that me or any other ENTP who makes this claim doesn't understand what the I/E dichotomies mean or aren't looking at the big picture or cognitive functions and if that is the case you are dead wrong.
It's another silly notion that NTs have a uniqueness about them that is not conveyed in other types. Thats simple bullshit. ESTPs can make the same argument as well as ESTJs and ENTJs. The fact that you claim ENTPs are introverted is simply because only ENTPs are responding. Whatever you are claiming is introversion (as yet defined) can be caused by depression, exhaustion, etc. True extraversion and true introversion has nothing to do with whether you like people or prefer to be around people. There are plenty of ISFs that love being around people. Does that make them extraverted? Obviously not.
My mistake was assuming your post saying that you "can't see how the type can mistake themselves as anything but extravert" meant that you'd want input so you could gain understanding as to how it could easily happen.
And it's still my argument. What is being misunderstood is how extraversion and introversion per type works. You are extraverted because you focus on things outside the self, and introverted because you do the opposite. Does that occur with some sort of rigidity, of course not since you also have an auxiliary and the ability to use all eight functions. However your first notion is to do whatever your dominant funciton dictates, because that is what you do. The more you develop the other functions, the less you are dependent upon your natural dominant function.
Umm, yeah... That's what mistyped means and that's my point... What are you failing to understand?
Then it defeats the claim that ENTPs consider themselves introverts when they have yet to determine their type. So how can they claim to be introverted ENTPs when chances are they are actually introverted types? If I am clueless to my real type, then I can make all sorts of whacky assessments that defy basic principles. But most importantly it only goes to show that discussing type with rudimentary dichotomies creates confusion since you start to look at things as either/or instead of appreciating the fluidity of cogntive functions. I am a dominant Ti which makes my first letter "I". However I can appreciate that on any given day I can use Ne, Si, Te, Ni (or any of the eight functions). Does that make me continue to go willy-nilly on my type? Of course not, I prefer Ti-Se under Jung's definition, which makes me what MBTI would call an ISTP. Whethere I appear to be extraverting more on any given day does not make me an extraverted ISTP since there are logical reasons for why I may be experiencing more energy than normally or appearing more social.
So your stance is that E's can't have an inner world? You think I's have the patent on that?
What a silly question Trinity, ENTPs dominate with Ne. Ne is not a function that looks within, no more than any other function. When they are using their Ti, they are clearly going within. You continue to claim that you live inside your head. Are you saying that is dominant? If so, then when do you use your Ne? If you clearly prefer to live within, then you are not ENTP, you are some sort of introverted type. That does not mean any extraverted type cannot go within, but it's not their first inclination since they prefer to focus on the object whereas introverted functions are subjective.
