[MBTI General] In what ways do you defy your type?

[Lord Lavender]

Compared to most ENFPs I am more wary of things in general due to my 6 fix, somewhat withdrawn and INFPish and yet ironically more Te heavy. I also dont relate to profiles of ENFPs being total optimists as thats more positive outlook triad than ENFPs as such.

 

[Introspector]

-I am not productive or goal oriented if I am not forced to be. In a more structured setting, I get work done quick and I feel like I have a duty to do work, whether for myself or others. However, in my free time, I am very different. If I have to do work out of the workplace, I procrastinate a lot and end up regretting it. I also create a lot of "just for fun" projects so that I don't get bored. I have lost track of how many I have done (let's just say a lot), but I have not finished one of them. Most of the time these projects are just concepts to get my creative juices flowing and have a lifespan of 2-3 months.
-I am very outspoken for an introvert. My voice is incredibly loud and I am not usually aware of that in the moment. It just makes my rather harsh statements and opinions that much more in-your-face.
-I enjoy new experiences a lot. I am a roller coaster enthusiast, a foodie, a lover of travel, an aspiring movie buff, and a lover of loud music.
-I am very out of the moment, and while most of my thoughts deal with the present, I blank out a lot and lose a sense of reality in a stereotypical intuitive fashion, although I'm not an intuit.
-I actually prefer accuracy over getting the job done. I'm very nitpicky, my work takes a very long time to do, and my work severely declines in quality when I'm under pressure.

I don't know my type well enough to say for sure. My type changes too often

It's not hard to analize your core , Of course after thinking alot we can reach another point of view.
Mbti try to analize just your core , Not the result after that.

 

[Icedream]

If that's so, then what's your type?

 

[miss fortune]

I hate organized sports

I like fantasy novels and sci fi

I tend to drive below the speed limit

I avoid bars, concerts, sporting events and other places that SPs are said to congregate

I'm not very good at creating things

 

[everdream]

- I'm not really in tune with my emotions although I'm a supposed "feeler". I don't often show strong emotions in public either.
- I'm not a straight laced student. Most of my school days I didn't aim to have good grades, except when I was really motivated.
- I'm an Fe user but I can be much of a social awkward more often than I care to admit.
- I'm not as patient or attentive to people as I appear to be.
- Most of the time I don't think I'm weird or broken. I think I'm perfectly normal. If only the majority of people in the world isn't so different from me
- I'm actually pretty good at sports. It's a nurture influence imo.
- I can be very straightforward and blunt.
- I don't read books all the time. Nowadays I only read what I deem interesting or useful to my research.

 

[Virtual ghost]

I am not physically incapable.
I don't get lost in environment.
There are days when I party the whole night.
I know how to read emotional stuff between the lines, but often I just don't care about that.
My Fi si more about ambition and competency than the emo/phantansy stuff.


I blame my 1 and 3 fix for all of this.

 

[ceecee]

I'm not socially awkward at all and I don't dislike social events.
I don't excel at math.
I don't play chess or video games.
I do well with emotions but I don't tolerate manipulative or untethered emotional people.
I prefer to be aware of my surroundings, not lost in them (can't even fathom wearing headphones while out, can't understand being that distracted)
With the right people, in the right surroundings, I have no problem becoming downright ESFP. Not often but it can and does happen.

 

[Snow as White]

Too, there is a fair amount of memorization and study involved for those who are super into it - learning all of the varieties of how a game can unfold and what to do with what play, etc. I had a friend growing up who was super into it for several years, going to competitions, having a private instructor, etc. And she would study these books with different plays.

This was the biggest revelation I got about the chess world when I met an entp fiend of mine who ranks worldwide and tutors for a living. Everyday he had to vote x hours to memorizing and going through openers and counters and traps just to stay at his level. Just. No thank you.

——
ENFP

I can go long swaths of time wherein my only significant interactions are with my bf or chatting with a friend via texting.
I hate talking on the phone with the white hot fury of a million suns.
I like keeping my environment clean and organized and so my apartment is usually immaculate unless bf is over for too many days and living the Dream.
I have a lot of contempt for most people and am super judgey secretly in my head.
I love my planner.

E4/7
I don’t care to dress uniquely or strangely just for the sake of looking unique.
I don’t care for attention unless I am actively seeking it.

While I used to be more of a stereotypical INTP as a child, as I've gotten older and my Fe has developed, I've actually been scoring INFP and INFJ on online tests. I don't think that means I've turned into a feeler, but the tests read me as such because of the greater balance in my cognitive functions. Or at least that's my theory. I also think having a strong 4 presence in my Enneagram tritype and being Sx dom make me appear like an INFP-ish INTP.

--I'm no good at math and find it extremely boring.
--I can dress myself, cook for myself, pay my own bills on time, etc., and I even get compliments on these things. (Well, for how I dress and how I cook, not so much for how I pay bills, lol.)
--I can have very strong emotions, and when I do, I have trouble controlling them. For this reason, I don't like to be caught in public getting emotional, but when I'm at home, I wallow unabashedly.
--I understand the social value of small talk, and I don't hate people for engaging in it.
--Human psychology is one of my favorite subjects. I like it much better than the hard sciences.
--I'm the one my friends come to for advice on their personal problems. Many people have told me independently that they consider me their "counselor" and that I should've been a therapist.
--I love cute kittens, romantic movies, and daydreaming. I would rather read a fun fantasy novel than some dry text about physics any day.
--In relationships, I've never had any complaints about showing affection. I'm very attentive and accommodating to a significant other, and I'm always trying to think of creative ways to make him happy.

Historically - taking myself too seriously.

 

[deathwarmedup]

I'm not drawn to systems of thought, belief or ideology.

Shooooot... just made a thread similar to this a few minutes ago. Probably should just delete it since it only has one post.

I guess I'll just Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to here...

For me, as an ISFP, I'm

-wwaaaaaayyyyyy more imaginative than the average ISFP. Like, it's to the point daydreaming becomes a hobby. Isn't that an xNxx thing? Like, I zone out, yet still am aware of my surroundings. I can still maneuver and do day to day things. I'm just doing chores while living in la-la land.
-I'm attracted to ESTP's yet they don't seem to chase me. I though Socionics said that it was the other way around? Maybe it's just teenage hormones that messed it all up...
-I feel like I could be a Judging if I really cared about myself. Like, if someone were to ask me, "Hey, it would benefit me a lot if you could clean your room" and I would do it right away to please them. But if I told myself, "Hey, it would be very beneficial if you cleaned your room." then I would just respond, "NAH! I'll do it later".
-I like science. Why isn't a scientist recommended as an ideal career?
-I actually like debates. I don't know... I find it interesting to understand a different point of view on something. It's only when the formal debate turns into a mentally-draining argument that I start running away.
-I'm a Jack-of-All-Trades. Any other ISFP's a Jack-of-All-Trades or are they all specialists?

I swear I wasn't trying to copy your thread. I just came across this one now... I'm so sorry for that!

Edit: There's two posts now. >.< I should really stop procrastinating in deleting it... eh, I'll do it tomorrow...

Edit 2: 9 posts... should I? I feel bad now... but.... um......... sorry?

 

[Alice in Blunderland]

I generally get along well with other INTPs, but I can feel isolated by those who are overly fearful of their own emotions and/or can't tolerate or respond to emotion in others. Especially as I get older, I seem to be morphing into something of a T/F hybrid, although I don't believe that a person's fundamental type can actually change, so this is probably just a result of my Fe developing. Also, I think I'm kind of "fluffy" for an INTP because I love romance, fantasy worlds, cute animals, and all those other things that NTs are always picking on NFs for. I've never understood why my preference for having a rational, explicable basis for my values is supposed to mean that I have a disdain for beauty, magic, and love.

 

[Sacrophagus]

Such dishonor. My kin fell from grace after I found out I have emotions.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[citizen cane]

I'm rather disorganized, I love new experiences, and politically speaking I'm a fairly staunch leftist. I also work in social services. I know, I know, I'm a terrible ISTJ.

hi.

You do not seem ISTJ.

I'm not sure you're ENFP, either.
