Does that mean that you're a little boring and misanthropic and... well, in-going? From the forums, you seem quite the opposite to me :yes:

I wonder why there's such a long list for ENFPs?

No, it means I learned to *not* be outgoing and fun as it is not always appreciated. It also means that I prefer individuals over people in general.

As for my behavior on this forum: see ENFP silly streak.

Ha har, I see why you're not so sure of your ENFPness anymore. I think INFPs also share a little bit of the silly streak trait, but I don't think it could be described with the words 'captain wild child'...

ENTJ:
On a scale from 1-10 (1= not accurate, 10=totally accurate)

-"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"
10
- Natural tendency to marshal and direct, which could be either charming or insensitive
9, and more obvious and natural about it lately.
- Make plans and feel compelled to carry them out
7, less compelled lately. But it depends on the activity: I've always been strict about my work-out schedule, lately I'm not. I still keep a schedule over everything that I check off if I follow through, and put an X if I don't and then push the activity forward one day.
- Often larger than life when expressing themselves
Depends. Not sure I understand the question but probably 7-8, could be higher if I'm passionate about whatever I'm talking about.
- Decisive
10
- Sees what needs to be done and frequently assigns roles to their fellows
5-7, usually I do it myself. But if I see that it would be even more efficient if someone helped me, I would assign them to do it.
- Remain resolute in conflict
7-8, depends on the subject. I don't mind compromising if that's the best solution. When it comes to discipline though, 9-10
- Argumentative by reflex
10, but I'm working on that one. It puts people off and I don't get to express my opinion at all.
- Not to be trifled with
1-10, if it doesn't matter: 1, if it does matter: 10

1. How sure are you of your type?

98%
2. Do you trust online profiles?

Depends on the questions they ask.

Humanmetrics.com is pretty good.

I don't know if Socionics counts here, but I really like the Turbo test on socionics.com.

Can't think of the others right now, but there are many good ones.

- Have difficulty being alone

- Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results.

When I was younger, I related to all those things.

But I actually like to be alone a lot of the time now, I don't need as much time with friends, and I don't need to be the center of attention anymore.

I can be pleasant, easy-going and easy to work with sometimes, especially if I like the work and the people involved.

But mostly I'm difficult, rebellious, and individualistic.

I've developed a fair amount of "Mi" and "We" in recent years-- Introverted Misanthropy and Extraverted Weariness---which has helped me acquire the alone time I now enjoy so much. ;)

Sorry to laugh.

This can't be true. (Can it?)


I'd be pissed if I were an INFP. ;)

99% sure.

2. Do you trust online profiles?
As an opinion, yes. They aren't as good as MBTI official profiles in my experience, though.

INFP:
- Strong sense of wonder
- See life through rose coloured glasses (Sometimes. That, or cynicism.)
- flora and fauna take on near-human qualities.
- As children switch from reality to fantasy and back again
- Almost always develop imaginary playmates as children
- Sees the good in anything and everything, pity even the most unlovable things I do have an ability to find the good in things - I don't always use it.
- Extreme depth of feeling is hidden from others (often even themselves), until sparked
- Struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection
- An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil (Good vs Evil is too simplistic. I do tend to dichotomize things, though.)
- Have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms.

- Strong sense of wonder. Not really.

- See life through rose-coloured glasses. Not at all. Life is a struggle.

- flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. Slightly.

- As children switch from reality to fantasy and back again (rug-rats style) Yes, absolutely.

- Almost always develop imaginary playmates (as children) Yes. They were in my head, though, not outwardly present.

- Sees the good in anything and everything, pity even the most unlovable things Somewhat. Disapproval usually overrides empathy.

- Extreme depth of feeling is hidden from others (often even themselves), until sparked Yes, kind of.

- Struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection. Not so much ethical perfection as perfection in general.

- An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil I don't have that kind of inner conflict. I feel that conflict with society, which often seems prejudiced and small-minded.

- Have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms. I like to think so, at least.

I know I'm an INFP, but I relate more to the INFJ profile. The INTP description sounds kind of like me, too, but maybe not as much as the INFP does.

Oh, and firstly:
1. How sure are you of your type? 50%.. anywhere between ENTP, ENFP, and ENTJ. More the first two. Been testing ENFP a lot as of late.
2. Do you trust online profiles? Some are much better than others. Overall, .. not really :doh:

ENFP:
- Both "Idea" people and "people" people
8 - Probably more on the "Idea" side, but I've got my balance.

- See everything in a bizarre cosmic whole
9 - Ties into what my personal definition of what God really is. See also: Spinozism. I've thought way too much about this stuff.

- Want to help and be liked and admired by people
9 - Way too much emphasis on this, but I'm getting better.

- Interested in new ideas on principle, then ditch most of them for some reason or another
7

- Zany Charm
7 - More often than not, but sometimes I have to "turn it on."

- Unconventional, but despite that, still able to fit in with stodgy types of people
7

- Outgoing, fun, generally like people.
7 - Most of the time, yeah

- Towards SOs
*warm, affectionate (lots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous.
9 - this is pretty much the definition of my relationships
*sort attention span, short relationships
1 - Not at all, no

- Easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time.
8 - This happens a lot, but my older friends have a way of drawing me back in, or I'll feel guilty about not having talked to them and give them a call.

- Less mature: may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time.
6 - Center of attention is not often my thing. Appreciation is, though.

- Strong Convictions
