lol, sorry Greed, I had misread your other post. I read it as if you picked up on social cues as not an F trait. Nevermind, sensotard moment.
Your post seems more like ENFP than ENTP to me. You're a guy right? ENFP guys, well every man of every type, tend to be more use T more then their female counterparts.
Myself in particular, I have a high Ti. Why do you think you are T and not F?
Most people consider me rational and analytical btw. But there's no doubt I'm an F.
Being involved in engineering and computer science for so long, and having been programming since I was about six years old, it's hard to
inot have a well-developed logical side
I never put much stock in the model describing the roles of the cognitive processes past the first two, but Te as a relief function instead of a leading makes a lot of sense to me. I have my various organizational systems, I like implementing them, and I pride myself on them. In fact, the frequency at which I use Te nowadays may lead me to believe it to be a dominant function. Organizing the world around me in creative ways allows me to just sit back and just enjoy it.
Si as an inferior? I think I rather like that description, although that doesn't differentiate between ENTP and ENFP
From
here, describing how a socionics ENFp might confuse himself for an ENTp:
"In this instance, the way to discern between these two types and to choose the correct one is to determine whether you activelly use more Te or Ti. If you use Te more than you use Ti, you are probably an ENFp. If you use Ti more than you use Te, you could really be an ENTp."
Which.. yeah, my use of Te's pretty well described above. Likewise, from ENTp to ENFp (as we'd guess):
"If you use Fe more than you use Fi, you are probably an ENTp. If you use Fi more than you use Fe, you could really be an ENFp."
From this standpoint.. well.. my ENFJ friend and I are definitely clash when it comes to social roles and other traits described by Fe, which I sometimes come to strongly despise in terms of how limiting and controlling I feel it to be. Likewise, he basically doesn't understand the concept of empathy at all, where I'd describe it as one of my defining traits.
Thanks for the insight, Sytpg! It definitely helps getting the perspective of male ENFPs. I'll continue keeping a watch out and see which posters I end up resonating more with.. I'm not exactly around many ENFPs in real life, so it's hard for me to compare myself to them.
So, yeah, this might be settled now? Although, ironically enough, it looks like I'm approaching this from a Ti perspective
(I just hope this doesn't mean that I have to go out and find an INTJ girlfriend.. the last one I dated made me want to stab myself in the head
)
You're not alone -- a few of us on Vent have mentioned this to her.
