Which is the best type - Individual trait version

[Patches]

So the discussion that started here: http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/mbti-tm-other-personality-matrices/36986-what-best-type.html

...made me wonder how each 'individual trait' would stand up next to one another. Extroversion vs Introversion, Thinking vs Feeling, etc etc.

What are the "BEST" traits?

This poll has 8 options. Please select FOUR. One in each 'pair'. (Choose either I or E, either N or S, etc.)

i voted feeling not that i really think there is a best trait but...it's so important for me in relating to people...that empathy or something...something to do with how one prioritizes certain things i guess.

I gave so much thought into my answer but my answers came out boring and dull. INTP

If we're talking functions, my answer would have been different. TiNeNiSi ----------SeFiTeFe. I hate Fe. Grr....

I voted ENFJ, though I don't think of them as the super perfect type I used to lol.

I had troubles with T vs F but ultimately went with F, simply because the worse case scenarios with T's seem worse than with F's. I can barely stand someone being an illogical idiot, but I can't stand someone being a blunt douche. I know this is just a tiny, tiny bit of the F vs T split, but whatever. I believe that the perfect person should have a good balance of both anyways (even more so than the other pairs).

I love these threads, it's like people just can't be bothered implying that their type is the best anymore, now they're just saying it outright.

What is the best trait for what and for whom?

I can't vote on this poll, unless you want me to pick traits for an ideal mate or something, and even then I'd just be stuck on IxxJ.

No type is best. All opinion and each has strengths. /thread

Uh duh! You're no fun!

I played along just to see what the most socially popular type is.

Socially popular =/= Best.

Thank goodness.

Best where? Different traits are best in different situations. Like, in principle, J-ness is better at work, P-ness is more fun elsewhere.

 

[animenagai]

Socially popular =/= Best.

Thank goodness.

No one is saying that it is. That's just the results that this poll is getting.

Finally someone said it.

I'm of the opinion that the P/J dichotomy essentially doesn't exist, and as such I did not pick anything within it. Of the other three attitudes, I'd say Extroversion and Thinking are best, but I'm not sure whether Sensing or Intuition are better. I think a balance between them is most useful, which with the other choices would yield ESTJ and ENTJ.

I'd like to see one of these on functions.

 

[animenagai]

There is no best.

I didn't say there was! :steam:

I'm an ENFP, I know that lol

 

[skylights]

voted E ; S ; F ; J

that's just individual letters though. it has nothing to do with attitudes of the functions or the way they interact.

 

[highlander]

I do like ISFJs though . They're nice.
