I know ESFJs who are money motivated. But I don't know ESFJs who don't want to talk to people.

You see what I mean? There's too many inconsistencies with this guy. I think he is mis-typed.

I'm very inconsistent, you're right about that

It may be interesting to ask [MENTION=13646]Haven[/MENTION] about how he relates his type and relatively unusual-for-type profession...

Actually I like listening to people more than talking to them

I'm closest on s/n but my strongest preference is F, followed by J.

Programming is a job, I didn't pick it because I thought I'd like it, I picked it because I was convinced I'd hate any job so I might as well get one that gives me the freedom to work anywhere.

That doesn't sound very E!

What about E and I?

The way that you are typing this guy is a shitty way to type. Typing by E and I, and T and F mistypes people all the time. By that logic I am ENFP. I just think that the man is ridiculously id and for some reason relates to ESFJ (probably because of the Fe). This probably means that he is an ENTP.

Why doesn't that sound e? Are all extraverts incurious blabber mouths? I listen because I'm interested in other people.

No, of course not! It's just that ESFJs (at least the ones I know) are very chatty and very interested in talking to other people. In fact, I've seen ESFJ girls get mad at people for not wanting to talk.

I relate to Ne more than Ni/Se but not Si. That's why I'm esfj and not enfj. Entp is a no.

Haha ok, I got a different impression from your earlier post. You must've just been joking then.

You relate to Ne because you are probably an Ne dom

[MENTION=15607]The Great One[/MENTION] insistence makes a poor substitute for knowledge, try learning a few things about ESFJs first. Or just let it go? I've considered many types over the years and this one fits me best. There are better ways of testing your theories that don't require badgering other people until they give you the reaction you're looking for.

1. I don't relate to Se or Ni. At all.

2. I relate to Ne a lot, I use it a lot when programming or just fooling around. It seems to blend with Si when I notice similarities and differences between things that a lot of people don't seem to understand.

3. I've never felt like Ne was my dominant function. It comes up occasionally, but most of the time I'm using Si to perceive things, that is, how does it fit in with things I have previously experienced.

4. I'm not a perceiver. I make more lists and plan more things than you'd believe. I always have plans and backup plans, but I'm able to plan around people much better than I am at planning around abstract/inanimate things. I'm not an ENTP, I have too much Fe and too little Ne. It's there, obviously, it's just not dominant.
