[Other/Multiple Temperaments] Most difficult type to diagnose?

[PocketFullOf]

I heard it is ENxP...is this true in your experience?

"Diagnosing" a type, lol. Love it.

I think it depends on how much experience you have with particular types. It's not terribly hard for me to type people who are the same types as other people I know. But I have a hard time typing people who aren't. For example I'm pretty bad at typing SPs, for the most part.

Also I think it's hard to type female Thinkers and male Feelers, because oftentimes they're socialized to behave the opposite way.

This. They're socialized to behave the opposite, and I think just express themselves differently.

I either suck at recognizing SP types, or I just really don't know any.

One of the things I think "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg describes very well, is the way that women often subconsciously notice what the consequences are for behaving in a stereotypically masculine way -- so they learn to "play the game" and get the same results with a more collaborative, diplomatic, humble, "feminine", and nonthreatening style. TBH I think some of the most obvious Thinkers, among women I know, are the ones who refuse, on principle, to "play the game" as much as their female peers.

(Edit: Plenty of Feeler women do the same thing w/r to "refusing to play the game" -- but the "game" I'm thinking of has a lot to do with dealing with people's feelings 24/7. Hard to explain.)

I have exactly the same problem.

Interesting. I've never read that, but I think this is probably why a lot of people think I am a Thinker, rather than a Feeler. I talk about it quite a bit in my MBTI video.

I have exactly the same problem.

I must just avoid the SP crowd. They have to exist!

Introverts since they don't show much to the outside world? Types that are quite different to your own, since you don't get that "like me" feeling? Types that you don't regularly hang out with, since you have less reference points?
