All my friends and family who know me irl think I am a strong N type, I was suggested both Ni and Ne as my dominant functions by them, never Fi though.

Forum members see me as a sensoric type a lot , which is fine, I guess I can see the reasons behind it.

Hey!

For MBTI I have always tested for ENFP so I guess its pretty impossible for me to be mistyped.

However, with enneagram it seems a little more tricky. I initially for 4w3 with a very high 7 and 8, but later typed as 7w8. I can relate to both sides so I am a little confused. Personally I feel that when I was going through a particularly difficult patch in my life I was more a 4w3, but later on when everything started going well, I think it is more likely that I am 7w8.

I was mistyped as an introvert for a very long time, even though INTPs are nothing like me. I'm just a bitchy ENTP and I'm okay with it.

I've often mistyped myself as an introvert, so I often thought I was an INTP. However shyness does not equate to introversion, especially not in your teens when everyone is shy and awkward. I read somewhere that ENTPs are one of the most likely bunch to be anti-social, which reassured me that my down phases are not unusual for my type. Otherwise I'm definitely an ENTP, no doubt about it.

I mistyped as infp at first, it's always either infp or infj but now consistently infj since I've admitted that I'm a lot less spontaneous than I'd like to believe.


I'm just a bit past midway on the j/p spectrum, I've got a bad case of ADHD and a neurotic perfectionist streak that is constantly at odds with that and since I always lose all my to-do lists, notes, and outlines I never considered myself particularly schedule oriented until I reflected a bit and had a couple friends laugh in my face and tell me otherwise.

If I could stop mistyping as ISTJ every time I take a test, that'd be great.

How much influence do other people have on what types you consider for yourself? Do your friends and family see you differently than forum members (for instance, family and friends seeing INFP and ENFP, forum members seeing INFP and ISFJ)?

Discuss.

A quick glance at people's entries here should tell us two things: firstly that either the information available to amateur typology enthusiasts is contradictory and unsatisfactory, or that the theory itself is flawed. Secondly we should lie back and accept that discovering your type/s is something of a journey. I am sure that many of us, possibly myself included, will look back slightly awkwardly at what we have posted as we discover more about ourselves.

I have invariably considered myself to be an INFJ and an INTJ...mood dependent...but what I've discovered in the last six months is that introversion and shyness should not be conflated. What hasn't wandered through time is my Enneatype, so I am obviously one of those rare people whose MBTI/Enneagram combination (superficially - actually learning about what you parrot can work wonders) is counter-intuitive.

The truth is this: beyond the obvious, we're all faceless shadows behind a screen. You or I could be an eighty year-old Chinaman spying for the government, so everything that is posted must be taken at face value. For this reason I take all and sundry with a very large; let's say an organic grain of salt.

Before learning about the functions and all that, I typed myself as an xNTP mostly because of the descriptions. I also thought I was a Thinker because I wasn't that emotionally expressive.

Tested as an INTJ the first time and only occasionally do I get ISTJ. There are just too many ISTJ things that don't mesh - tradition, law, society and expectations... I'll stick with INTJ and some sensor-y leanings.

Enneagram

Never tested as anything but 8w9, sp/sx. I was very sure on the sp, not so sure on the rest.
