Which type do you most admire and why?

[Krys]

Pretty self-explanatory title.

I'll start. I admire ENFJs most. This might subliminally be because of Oprah, but ENFJs seem to be really charismatic kind people to me. You know, going by type description alone obviously. Although I do have an ENFJ friend and he's just amazing. I've never seen someone so comfortable talking in front of a crowd of people. As someone who hates doing this, its a trait I really admire in other people.

No MBTI types. I admire personality traits in individuals... like: kindness, tenacity, forgiveness,etc. I've met too many people of all types and there have been good and bad people among all. It's more individualistic for me.

Yeah I get that. That's actually another thread I made in one of the other subforums, specifically about traits you value in other people. I guess I should specify that this is by type description alone.

So it's all theoretical, of course.

I don't really experience admiration for people—certainly not for things they have no control over (such as type).

Indeed. You cannot admire anyone but their deeds.
It is absolutely ludicrous to admire a Type because of mere previously written words about it. Sometimes people use MBTI types as a biased mean for segregation, as if humans needed more forms of apartheid.

I've seen this. Typism is indeed a real thing. There are quite a few people on Tumblr who are strongly against racist/sexist/homophobic speech but seem to have no issues with spreading stereotypes and making negative generalizations about specific MBTI types.

ISTP - because their talents are so very foreign and awe-inspring to me. I cannot even fathom doing what they do with such utter ease and zest for life.

 

[great_bay]

INTJ because they are as smart as me.

Ohhh okay. Then it has to be either ESFPs or ISFJs due to their tenacity and ability to maneuver in life. I can get stagnate but they usually know how to shake themselves out of it.

ESFP

Because that's how I viewed myself when I was young and looked forward to my life! I related to ESFP characters and believed I would grow up developing ESFP traits. Instead, I developed introverted traits. I admire the ESFP archetype for excellence in living in the real world and being awesome in it, instead of retreating into a detached mental space like I did.

Hm, well I've noticed something I love in all the types really. ♡ I love the intelligence and curiosity that NTs have. The dauntless and zealous approach that SPs have to life. The loyalty and dedication of STJs. The selflessness and kindness of FJs. And the compassion of NFPs. c: I think that's everyone haha, it's really hard to just pick one type because I've met and admire so many people of every type. They're all lovely to me ^^

 

[Smilephantomhive]

ISTJs are pretty cool...

 

[Population: 1]

Those who are honest, dependable, and understanding. They come in all 16 flavors.

 

[Red Memories]

xxTPs with their strong Ti's.

 

[RestlessNative]

I like unrelenting self confidence in a person. People that genuinely dont care what people say about them. Fire in thier soul.
I think its because they dont need you, they want you. I like directness (as I'm mostly oblivious to signals), and I like the softness they afford you (only) makes you feel good. - they also make me a better person as I have to be more decisive / brave to keep up (INTP)

 

[LucieCat]

The NT types. I love the way each of them think. It's hard to pick. I'd probably go with INTJ if I had to pick one. They're such interesting people, and I love interacting with them. I respect the way they present themselves.
This is all generalized of course.

 

[Forever]

I like keystroke typing, it helps me get the words down.

 

[highlander]

Probably ENFPs and INFJs for different reasons. I admire INFJs insights, thinking and ability to get others to open up about themselves. I admire ENFPs for their charisma, energy, interpersonal skills and how much fun they are. I like being around both of them though sometimes ENFPs wear me out with all the talking.

 

[Yama]

I don't admire any types. I occasionally admire individuals who belong to a type, but not because of their type.
