[ENTP] I really don't like the type profiles of my own type

[chubber]

i'd say that INFJs don't tend to mistype as INFPs as much as INFPs mistype as INFJs

in my opinion, that perception needs to change.

why don't you take the kiersey jung test on the home page and let me know when you take it. I can help analyze the results

I'm taking your offer if it's still available

Ok sure just let me know when you take it.

Result

Your personality type most closely matches that of Rational

Based on the answers you have provided to the questions, we are somewhat confident that your four letter type is

INTJ

The order of preference for your cognitive functions appears to be
Ni > Ne > Te > Ti > Fi > Fe > Se > Si

Personality Results – Typologycentral Keirsey and Jung Test

Edit: Six months has passed since the Op. Since then I've engaged in studying. I've studied C++ programming, windows programming, music production, AV production, graphics programming and some other minor topics. The experience has surely altered my scores.

Based on the answers you have provided to the questions, we are somewhat confident that your four letter type is

INTJ

The order of preference for your cognitive functions appears to be
Ni > Ne > Te > Ti > Fi > Fe > Se > Si

Your raw scores are as follows:
NF=0;NT=2;SP=2;SJ=-4

Te=2;Ti=1;Fe=-2;Fi=-1;Ne=3;Ni=6;Se=-4;Si=-5

You're tied on SP and NT making it likely you are one of those two

T = 3
F = -3
N = 9
S = -9

Based on those totals, you appear to be an intuitive thinker which is consistent with NT - meaning it's narrowed down to NTJ or NTP. It looks like intuition is a stronger preference than thinking making me think you are probably an INTJ or ENTP. Ni (6) > Ne (3) and Te (2) > Ti (1), making it seem like INTJ is probably the more likely of those two. I see you self type yourself as an ENTJ. It's definitely possible but not as likely given these scores.

Very nice analysis, thank you. I'm afraid I have a wandering personality though. I engage in whatever I do and let it envelop me. But, nonetheless, it seems good.

There's also the possibility I've neglected the INTJ result because of the common descriptions suggesting INTJ are inept with presentation. I've been in predominantly presentative professions for the most of my life with great to astonishing results. Teaching, interviewing and such. Yeah I like to be alone for a part of the day but that's it. I'm the man with some kinds of presentations. I haven't thought fitting to the *introvert* description because of that.

Edit: to make it clear, I speak really well in public occasions. People have characterized me as inspiring confidence, I know what it's all about, I know how it's done etc. I'm the one to look for in need of confidence. They've also said what kind of a speaker I am. They've said I know my stuff, I've researched, I'm knowledgeable etc. This points to the xNTx direction ok, but I'm not sure where else it points. I've thought it points to the ENTx direction.

Edit2: I just read an INTJ description, and contrary to my expectations, it didn't portray INTJs as verbally incompetent, quite the contrary. I have suddenly much less opposition to the idea of being of this type.

Ok my wife thinks she's INTJ and she doesn't think I'm INTJ

I disliked them to the extent I went on a 8-year long denial of being of that type. ENTP. Crazy inventors, incoherent. Unable to plan. Flickering at every time. Overexuberant. Huh, what the fuck? It goes on. Unable to behave like a person, instead arguing all the time. Unable to see the big plan as they're just joking so much they're unable to plan for anything.

To add injury to the insult, I had a friend just like that, an ENTP, who was an incarnation of a Bad Example to me.

So seeing where I'm coming from, you can see why an ENTx doesn't want to take the ENTP label. Or, can you? Can you not?

Ideas, please.

We are both here for quite some time on this forum I always though that you were ENTP, regardless of what type you present. Especially since I don't see almost any NTJ steamrolling in you and you are always nice in analitical. So ok, you are not ultra random as ENTP profiles say but that doesn't make some other type.
