No, I was actually a dick in school and a control freak. Better now though. I chock it up to Fi perfectionism.
I'm also leaning away from Ne because Si goes with it. That is, by far, my worst function.
Is it your first instinct though? Because my natural response is to approach people in a formal, reserved, efficient way. And even at school, during group projects, first thing I did was get things under control and find a way to get it done. The ESFPs were always much more personable and laid-back. And I'm a stickler for planning things out and adhering to deadlines, another reason I think I'm an NFJ of some sort.
I was never a dick though, that's where Fe comes in. Iron fist, velvet glove.

except for the how you explain your use of Fe.
Either you siphon all of your baby Se into this website and here it exists in a vacuum... or you are an Se-dom of some sort.

And I thought perfectionism was a Si or Te thing. I was never a perfectionist - as long as it was DONE and satisfactory, I was happy.
I think perfectionism can be associate with any of the introverted functions, judging or perceiving. Motivations vary, but things always have to be just so. Michael Jackson, for instance, was a raging perfectionist, and that was pure Fi, baby.
[MENTION=9016]mrcockburn[/MENTION] : I do see Fe in you, I just think it's subordinate to Ti. So xxTP. My guess (sorry if you're tired of seeing this) is ESTP.
True about the Ti. Ironically, I think that's why I struggle so much in my accounting major - I *need* to make logical sense out of every single stupid rule they feed us, and when I notice inconsistencies for which there are no explanations, I rip my hair out and apparently, a few brain cells in the process, as evidenced by my exam scores.
Yeah, if it's that obvious that I'm ESTP and it fits my 2 rules (not an SJ, and I don't use Fi), then I guess I can't keep running from it.
EDIT: wait a second, who are you? I've never seen you before.![]()
That was pure trauma, baby. From what I heard, his father beat him as a kid if he didn't perform perfectly.

If that's Fe, then it's Fe used as a tool by Ti. Actually, this post has me convinced that you're an ESTP.My crude definition of Fe is people skills and approaching people in a way that psychologically makes them want to become your allies later on. Professional success is largely determined by people skills and your ability to network.

I can sympathize (though I have different majors) with having to make sense of what they say. There is a tendency, I think, for professors/TAs to assume we want to just memorize the material, so they think explanations aren't necessary. I have seen other students memorize contradictory information without issue. I don't know how they do it, and I can't see how they are actually learning anything...
I had my username changed recently; I used to go by penny89... if you remember me. If you don't, then ...![]()

Excellent
Actually, I wouldn't say that it's obvious that you're ESTP specifically, but it's obvious that you are NOT AN INFJ!!! Not at all. Not even remotely!!
Didn't you type me as ExFJ before?![]()
OMG [MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] has BLUE HAIR!!!!!! And a tattoo. Nope, she's gotta be eXFP. And I think we should switch types.
EDIT: Yes, that was a joke.
Well, I know who you are now at least.
wait, I do vaguely remember you. You people and your name changing!![]()
oOoOoOo I got a complimentary enneagram and instinct typing!Why 7w8?
