Which type is the most extrovert and which is the most introverted? Or you can, how would you order them from most extroverted to most introverted?

I was told it was ESFJ and INTP respectively...but I'm not sure that's true.

I think most extroverted are ESxP, while most introverted are INxP.

As an ISTJ, I feel like I'm more introverted than anyone I've ever met. But I guess anyone more introverted than me just doesn't meet people.

I came across a ridiculously extroverted person the other day, and I believe they were ESFJ.

The most extroverted people I've seen were ESFJ and ENFP, which I thought was weird since I read in an article that ENFPs are "introverted extroverts".
The most hardcore introvert I've ever met is me (ISTP) and it's hard to imagine someone who is drained by people more than I am and isn't an avoidant schizoid.

My call would be ESxP for most extroverted, the most extrovert people I've met are both ESTP, my old friend from high school and my brother. As for the most introverted ones, it's a lot trickier because I know more introverts. I'd say ISTJ and INTP, just on my gut instinct.

Yeah, after ENTP ENFP is said to be the most introverted, and I have an ENFP friend who very similiar to me on the introvert/extrovert scale...but I've also heard that ENFP are one of those types that can vary a lot, not sure why this is.

I don't think I'm super duper outgoing, and I know some really soft spoken ESFPs. But, I know an ESFJ who practically thrives on other peoples' energy and is just the definition of extroverted. I think INFJ could be the most introverted type.

It's hard to say just in MBTI. But if I had to say in general, it'd be ESP/ESFJ areas for extrovered and INP/INFJ for introverted.

More specifically, I'd say to be very extroverted/introverted it'd be a certain combination along these lines...

E + 2/3/7/8 + sx/so or so/sx

I + 4/5/9 + sx/sp or sp/sx

And even then there could be some exceptions. :shrug: I think extroversion/introversion levels are different for each person.

ESTP is not the most extroverted by a long shot.

This would actually be fairly easy to sort out.

Get a large group of individuals of every type, and have them all take a extroversion/introversion assessment, and plot the degrees to which each type as a group has the strongest of each. Analyse the data and present it accordingly.

I don't know about types, but intuition is more removed from concrete reality over sensing; and thinking can be explicitly explained, whereas feeling...it's a bit harder, seems a bit more personally relatable and abstract over thinking.

In no particular order:
Extroverted
Se > Ne
Te > Fe

Introverted
Ni > Si
Fi > Ti

In my life, the most extraverted individual I know is ESFP and the most introverted is INTP.

There are countless reasons why that might not be truly representative though.

The most extroverted person I know is an ESFP, too.

I sometimes think I'm the most introverted person I know. It's not that I dislike people; it's more like... I seldom feel the need to be around them. I always say that I could easily be a hermit, as long as my cave had wifi.

I assume it has to do with Enneatype, too. I know my 5w6 sp/sx dad is very prone to introversion. I would assume 5w4 would tend to be even more so.
