Mistyped TypeCentral Members

My therapist said that when I told her different perspectives of just one instance and she thought something was wrong with my brain lol.

Me an ISFJ? I'd be an incredibly different SJ due to strong disagreements I have had in the past with Si types. They see so differently than me. It's like they're content in the situation where everything is the same even if it's shitty. It makes no sense to me. (I perceive it to be terrible but to them, consistency > possibilities)

I was someone who'd always switch up everything when I teach something even to my own detriment. If anything I'm much more likely to be Ne than Si. I also make tons of mistakes due to lack of preparedness. Si types tend to be defensive pessimistic and I'm like the opposite when I tackle a new situation overly optimistic coming out badly burned.

I'm really negative with the past.

haha I was just messin with ya

But man, how I DO appreciate a break from my own head at times. I don't think of all these possible answers to a situation as you described, but I do often ruminate on rather vague things in life like personal goals, where I see myself, what I ultimately want. The problem with that is, I never know for sure. I am usually within range of the target, but I can never be absolutely sure what my path is or what I truly want in life. Those sorts of thoughts can bog me down and pull me from the moment no matter how fantastic it may be. I'm still lookin out for my ESFP bestie

Oh I don't want to deal with the mess of socionics until I have gotten sure of my understanding of MBTI haha. I really don't like their Fe description. And I'm trusting you on the Si.

Haha, I'm the opposite. I really like the way socionics defines Fe and detest the way it describes Si. /unrelated

What combination of type and mental illness do I vibe?

SFx and Schizotypal?

I believe my mental problems impair my social abilities to the point that I take the NT label as an easier fit, but I lack in logical and analytical abilities, making it an unhealthy form of compensation.

So I compensate for one weakness (which should be a strength, barring mental illness) with another weakness.

Mentally ill people cannot be confidently typed. If you have phases of good mental health you should type based on that as that is your natural self.

Understood. Just wanted to read others' opinions for fun.

Where is [MENTION=10082]Starry[/MENTION]? This thread sees a burst in activity every so often and her input is always nice to see in the mix.

That's because youre not socionics Si.

I think your type is difficult to pin down because you've developed the ability to use a lot of cognitive functions.

What's most apparent to me from your above post is how you are able to relate to many different types of people. You have something really special that draws people to you. Even when you're not able to truly relate to someone else, you can respect and make room for their perspective.

I don't know if it makes sense to reduce that down to a cognitive function. Whatever it is, it's special.

It's difficult to put words to: how I value this ^

I believe you are someone who only says what they believe

=

You took an element I have used to accuse myself with, and reframed it in a way I can take to heart... and that will serve me better.

Truly : thank you

[MENTION=23915]Hawthorne[/MENTION] I typed you so far as IxTJ by working backwards with your shadow functions. I can't figure if you prefer Si Ne or Ni Se

 

[Forever]

[MENTION=19700]Anaximander[/MENTION] by working backwards with your shadow functions I typed you to be IxTP. It's kind of funny how it went back to your close INTP resemblance.

Intriguing, did you start from Te, Si, Ne, Se, Ni, Fi or all of them?

The intensity of emotions I sometimes feel....described in an advice thread as primal...have I been mistaking grip inferior Fe for dominant Fi intensity? I feel that I may lack the Fi doms' ability to recognize and interpret emotions in a healthy, nuanced manner

How do the aux Fe users experience strong states of emotions?

[MENTION=19719]Forever[/MENTION]: stupid question, but what do you mean by working backward from shadow functions? Do you mean ruling out what the person doesn't seem to value or "use"?

That's what confused me. [MENTION=19719]Forever[/MENTION], how did you determine which shadow functions? Was it a vibe thing or did you choose a best fit from some other method?

Just trying to get a handle on your method

What do you think my sociotype is?

Expression.

I really hate expressing my emotions. Hate it. It makes me emotionally vulnerable. But when I'm swept over by strong emotions, you can tell. I'm easy to read. If I'm anxious and panicky, you know. If I'm happy, you know. If I'm angry, you know. Not necessarily because of words, but because of body language that I can't hide.

My problem might be the opposite: lack of expression.

I think your logical abilities are pretty solid, actually! But simplistic in the sense that it reminds me of young NT's that haven't fleshed out their logic with experience, which often incorporates feeling into the mix becoming more whole/realistic in expectations.

Yet, you have a child, family, etc. These are all experiences that should, if not for a diagnosis, mellow that black and white thinking a bit...the harshness of it. The bleakness of it?

I don't know. It's difficult to describe but my mother is Aspergers and an ISTJ. Although successful, raised 3 kids, has difficulty relinquishing how she views HOW people SHOULD be in dating situations. Very, very....naive. But she's not! But she is. Lol.

I don't know, it's all very lower level Aspie spectrum stuff. You know it when you see it but can't define it. Like porn.

Saying that, I can see angry INTP or happy ISFJ.

Yes but more by what form or function that person tends to distrust but like Anaximander's strongest shadow function is Te which he will sometimes use to support his way of life but obviously if I typed him correctly Ti and Ne/Se should be his way to approach life.

That's what confused me. [MENTION=19719]Forever[/MENTION], how did you determine which shadow functions? Was it a vibe thing or did you choose a best fit from some other method?

Just trying to get a handle on your method

Yeah so I studied the roles of each of the shadow functions and I determined Te to be your best but you'll use that function if somehow you need a backup like if it's a stressful situation. Unlike your inferior you actually trust a little bit of your 5th and have somewhat of a grasp of it.

If aux Fe is my function I'd say it ebbs and flows everyday. I trust my feelings more than reason often even if experience says otherwise. I am worried about how I might offend others due to the choices I make in life. How I relate to society as a whole.

If I see someone suffer I help in any way I can. Lesser use of Fe because of bad experience can make me distrust society in general and think most of humanity isn't worth saving but that's a lie we tell ourselves when we're hurt.

I can absorb feelings and often wonder why do I feel this way? Ni gives me possibilities where Fe can select which will be the best. It's learning to be comfortable with all emotions.

An Fi user may explore the emotion like the deep sea but an Fe user is like constantly jumping between a pool and a spa and perhaps a jacuzzi when confused.

People strangers or not. Are always on your mind even if they've done little for you. Seeing a familiar face or similar can trigger that. The person next to you in line. The cashier. People are your #1 priority in your mind even and especially if you dislike them.

Shame can be increased for 4's. Not blending in, not being accepted by the group ruins your day. You don't understand when people tell you to ignore your emotions as that is telling you, cut off your primary source of knowledge. People are your knowledge. My mind's eye draws possibilities who of this person is next to me. What is he or she like. What does he or she think or feel about me as of right now? What can I do to make an impact on his or her life in a way that will benefit him or her or everyone.

I think about users I like and dislike my mind is a radar always on. Ni helps keeps me knowing the current essence of that person. A point that can go in any direction at any time.

True joy is when everyone around you is in unison and you can join along.

Now that's my Ni Fe perspective. Si Fe will be a little bit different and may not as encompassing as Ni user may have.

Hope this helps.

I'm certain that i'm an INFP but i'm curious if anyone thinks i'm any other type but I don't stereotypes. Explain it to me via the functions aka properly.
