[MBTI General] You can trade in one 'letter' of your type, for the opposite...........

[BlackCat]

Sigh. I do not like Mountain Dew, but how I wish I did!

This is what makes you not an INFJ.

 

[NewEra]

Maybe there is a way we can change one letter, people. Maybe... just maybe... if we put our minds to it, there is a way.......... maybe...

After all, MBTI is about preferences, not about necessities. If we prefer to switch one letter out, then perhaps we can adjust to it...

Do you think, as an I, you can prefer to operate as an E, without experiencing the fatigue?

I think if I work on it, yeah. At first it will be very tiring but if I keep working on it, I can do it.

I got your back on it. You can do it! LOL

Being in the ISTJ mindset, I would want to swap the I for an E.
ESTJ gets to order people around. It sounds fun!

As for the other possibilities:
INTJ: INTJs are very smart, but this just got edged out by the ISTP. INTJs are very successful too.
ISFJ: No thanks. It sounds very tough and hard to be an ISFJ male. No offense to any ISFJ reading this.
ISTP: This is very appealing, but not as appealing as ESTJ. I'll say this is my second preference given that they are so adaptive.

Before even reading this thread i'd say most Fs would pick T, most Is would pick E, and most Ps would pick J.

I'm guessing that's because ExTJs are often viewed as the types who get things going their way.

You are right - what I wrote earlier:

I would swap I for E. World seems more tailor-made for an E. ESTJ seems like a very desirable personality in the workplace too.

 

[SubjectA]

INTP? No. I need more order in my life!

INFJ? Hmmm...maybe.

ISTJ? Only when I'm at school.

ENTJ? Yeah. I used to have an E and I lost it. I kind of miss it. I used to test as an ENTP, and I liked it that way.

 

[Frank]

I do this everyday depending on the situation. I'm fluid like that

If anyone is running an ESTJ training camp, I'll sign up right away!
You are right through... I do have an ESTJ/ENTJ envy.

I hear the Marine Corps is running one, and they are taking applications.

 

[BlueScreen]

It has to be S for me. That sensing side is the one thing I can't do. To be able to pick up instruments and play them, dive into the action of life head on, not go drifting out of the moment, see all the details and colours perfectly.

If I had to do a full type change, ISTP.

If it was long term and not just for a month, you couldn't do anything to get me to change type.

 

[valmc]

it's a mystery

Well the Keirsey and MBTI say I am ISF* but the Socionic says I am IST*.
Do you suppose the Enneagram 5sx gives me that extra thinking power?
I dunno, just a silly thought while I was reading.

 

[Litvyak]

An I -> E trade sounds pretty fine to me, though I'm not that close from being an extrovert.

 

[Polaris]

I would gladly trade in my P for a J. Indecisive, unmotivated, lazy . . . what good is it being a P? None to me.

 

[Walking Tourist]

I'm very motivated but not good at planning. My timing is somewhat random and I get to appointments late or early. I could go for a little more J, just to get myself organized.

[Athenian200]

So if you are an I, you'd become an E, If you prefer F, you'd rely more on T............yeah you get it, a swap.

The thing is, it's a trial basis. so, let's say, maybe after a month, you'd switch back to your original preference. A month is probably a good enough amount of time to experience fully whatever letter you trade in.

Oh yeah, you can trade in any combination as well, so if you want to trade in you IS for EN, that's perfectly fine.

So, which would you trade in? Would it be one? Two?, maybe all 4?

I think I'd go with ENTJ, assuming I would still have the same goals upon switching. Being an ENTJ for a month or two would kickstart my plans and get me a lot further than I can get with my passive, sensitive, cautious IF nature... I'd probably successfully do things that would scare the heck out of me right now, get over some major humps and make myself figure out how to do a lot of things. That progress would probably benefit me for a long time after I switched back.

 

[Cimarron]

I really wouldn't want to trade in this equipment.

For fun though, maybe I'd try INTJ or ISTP for a month. A month sounds a lot longer than I'd want to be stuck as another type...

(Only going with the switching-one-letter choices because a "Which of the 16 types would you want to be?" Thread has been done before. Plus those were the rules you started.)

 

[d@v3]

I agree with Cim. I suppose a month I could trade in my I or S.... the rest I couldn't do without!
