Im just going to post it here, once, and then never again at least for a good while.

If I had to guess my own type it would be INFP 9w1 6w 4w5 so dominant EII.

And now, that is all.

But... but.... I'm a clear enneagram 4 and most often test as NFP.
I FUCKING QUIT.
*burns TypoC to the ground and moves to tropical island*

I think it does, xNTP.
You just decide whether you prefer introversion or extraversion - or, if you prefer Ne-Ti, or Ti-Ne.

Here's two more for you, both are very short:

Simple MBTI style test.

Simple Cognitive Fun<wbr>ctions Quiz

If there appears to be a common theme, well, there we go.

ENFP & ENTP Ne-Ti-F-Si

But on the Simple Cognitive Fun<wbr>actions Quiz, the 2nd question was an absolute Neither/Nor question. I couldn't answer without bias.

On the Simple MBTI style test, this is what's giving me the F result:

...generally aim to point out flaws or inconsistencies... (in a new idea)

or:

...generally look for what is good, or right, about the idea...

I disagree that the difference between an ENTP and an ENFP is that the ENTP would try to disprove the idea foremost and the ENFP would humor it. That's not what I've seen. I actually think it's the opposite. An ENFP, maybe due to Te, is more likely, in practice, to veto an idea, and an ENTP is more likely to humor it and even brainstorm reasons it might be valid.

[MENTION=28337]Metis[/MENTION] - disagree all you want, that question (and all the others) are adapted from the official mbtionline website.

That one in particular is the least "adapted".

Re: Te in ENFP - not a thing.
I don't believe in the Harold Grant cognitive functions stack - the official stance is that the tertiary function is in the opposite direction of the dominant function as per table 3.3 of the latest MBTI manual.

T types critique ideas initially - they really want to know if it makes logical sense, can it work, not being douches just.. "does this work" and they scout out flaws in doing this.

F types welcome them initially, great for getting on board, less great at helping identify flaws.

I do both, but I answered the first, if I remember correctly. If it's a close intimate, I don't wanna see them fail, so I'll gently point out certain things. If it's someone less dear to me, I probably don't care as much. That was one of the harder questions for me.

Oh my god, get over yourself already.
Oh, my bad, narcissism isn't treatable.
Carry on.

It's not narcissism, it's the truth.
That's one aspect of how T/F works.

That 4 question quiz isn't exactly comprehensive by any means, but the fact is, it's drawing from an aspect of each dichotomy preference, derived from official sources.
They are all questions that get to the heart of what each divide is about, imo, though.

I think that for some type pairs, you might be able to use that, but it's more complicated than a T/F divide. It might work for INTJ/INFJ, for example, or for ISTJ/ISFJ. It would be interesting to test that, actually, with all F/T type pairs, and see how it correlates.

I do, however, think that it has a lot to do with the N function and how one uses it, so it's not a straightforward F/T matter. In the case of an ISFJ, the person might be willing to consider possibilities because it seems polite or kind, whereas an ENFP or ENTP might be in brainstorming mode or have more of a "Yes And" mindset when it comes to possibilities, rather than trying to be kind or accommodating. Te being a valid cognitive function or not, an ENFP is likely to take a somewhat more "practical" position on the matter when it comes down to making a decision on it, I think, than an ENTP. The ENFP will brainstorm and "yes, and" for the sake of entertaining/interesting conversation, and the ENTP will also brainstorm ways that something WON'T work (which might be just as farfetched as the idea itself, depending on the stakes), but neither is going to be a type that approaches a conversation like this: "Let me tell you why that plan won't work," or "Let me tell you why Statement A is false, according to Source 1, Presupposition G, and Principle 4.a, and why Statement B is the correct statement for the textbooks." It isn't the Ne Way. If an ENTP tells you why a plan won't work, it's likely that the ENTP is taking the plan seriously and looking for ways to make it more likely to work; it's a brainstorming exercise. If an ISTJ tells you why it won't work, it comes across more like a veto. If an ENFP tells you why it won't work, it's more likely to come across as a kind explanation of why s/he has decided against it; actually, I think an ENFP is less likely to get into WHY it won't work, at that point. But if s/he does explain why, it's not likely to feel like a brainstorming session, so much as a serious Group Discussion on a matter that needs resolving.

.and, what research since then has disproven the tertiary function as being in the opposite to the direction to the dominant function, and instead as being in the same direction as the dominant function?

A celebrity-types article about function "axis" won't cut it either.
I'm going to need some stone cold evidence in the form of credible research.

Shit, if you can provide me with even a single link supporting the validity of the cognitive functions in general, that would absolutely blow my mind because as far as I'm aware, it's nonexistent.

There are over 50 years of research and studies behind the dichotomy, it has some validity to it, but it is a soft science nonetheless.
Cognitive functions on the other hand are practically disproven.

Question. Possible that my 7 trifix has an 8 wing?

7 Wings - Enneagram

I relate to the somewhat lighter quality of 7w6, and the anxiety of it, but it’s way too grounded compared to these descriptions. Not to mention, when I notice myself being more 7, there’s usually a LOT of bravado there. And sometimes a level of competitiveness that makes me uncomfortable.

You're probably the most unanimously liked person on this entire forum. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E likes you, including myself, and you just seem so friendly and unassuming.

However, it's with this said, like the wife of an in-the-closet homosexual state congressmen, I feel like despite every economic advantage and sense of security you've provided us with, I just can't live the lie anymore.

You're so ENFP it hurts like when I blistered my hands up trying to climb the robe dangling from the ceiling in elementary school gym class, and as soon as you and everyone else learns to accept it (somewhere, deep down, we all really knew where you going and what you were doing when you said you were working late and needed to take Julio the pool boy to work with you to help you sort your filing cabinets in your office), the sooner we can allow the healing process to begin.

Say it isn't so, Neal. 99% of ENFPs I know hate me. This can't be you!
