[Dreamer]

I am mistyped by other people.

I...don’t think I’ve ever seen a response like this in the thread. LOVE it.

anyone who has ever met me irl and knows about mbti is like "DAMN you are such an enfp."

online a lot of people think there's no way i could be an extrovert. someone once told me my grades were too good for me to be an enfp...

 

[Metis]

I've always thought [MENTION=30038]Gentleman Jack[/MENTION] seemed like an ESFP.

He seems to act with a lot of Fe, and that's one of the reasons I bought ESFJ.

I still feel ESFP, though. I've never really believed the ESTP claim.

Belief does not make something so, or not so. People are the type they are whether you believe it or not.

Type isn't a concrete thing.

Type isn't a concrete thing.

Type probably is. Our understanding and application is more fluid.

I’m estj

 

[Earl Grey]

Me! I shall shed the shallow trivialities of type and personality... And embrace obscure typelessness. None of you have a handle on me!

On second thought. Inb4 I'm actually INTP.

Only an INTP would say that, lol.

Still INTJ.

Is this just a joke thread?

I am not Spock/I am Spock

I am not Spock/I am Spock

You're not, sorry.

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

You're not, sorry.

I wasn't asking. It’s a book.

I guess I’m sp/so instead of so/sx, because
- I misunderstood some things about all three instincts, and
- I heavily pivoted sp-wards after undergrad

Meaning: I’m boring now. Yay!

Related, it’s interesting and counterintuitive that sp/so is actually warmer than so/sp. Not something I expected.

Maybe yes, maybe no. (I do see a lot of Sp stuff with you relating to health, finances, home, time/energy, security, cleanliness, quality of products, etc. etc. etc.)
BUT... intstincts do no "pivot" as they are the most instinctual and thus core part of our personality. I find that the best way to truly figure out your dominant instinct is to casually observe your thoughts for some period of time. You will focus in on your primary literally all the time, and it's weird once you discover what it is because you never realized before that you dedicated so much energy viewing the world through one lens.

Or, alternatively, imagine and visualize that you are a young wild animal who was separated from its pack and left to fend for yourself. What are you going to do to survive?
A. Strength in numbers - search the land until you find a new pack who will take you in.
B. Seek a partner - search the land hoping to discover a strong partner.
C. Seek shelter - find somewhere safe, and when the coast is clear, get out to do your hunting. Rinse and repeat.

I didn't think there was ANY way I could be self-preservation for the longest time because I can be so "out there" in terms of boldness, but truth be told, overall I am highly focused on preserving my well-being and let very little in to my inner world because I realize the cost of such things. To be fair though, Sp 4 isn't exactly the most reserved version of Sp (we aren't called dauntless or tenacious for nothing).

[MENTION=31348]Peter Deadpan[/MENTION] when I say I pivoted towards sp... I think I really disdained a lot of stereotypically sp things for a long time. Made irresponsible choices as a sacrifice for friends, groups, loved ones, and The Goal. And I looked down on people who took better care of themselves, because I thought it was selfish. It’s only been since that attitude started actively hurting me, that I heavily pivoted the opposite direction. So, it’s hard to look back at myself and see sp-first when so much of me imitated (at the very least) sp-blindness.

That said, I think I always would have answered your question in favor of finding shelter and hunting for food. Can’t rely on other people to be there to help, so, better get comfortable before making that companionship side-quest.

It's possible to have a negative relationship with your instincts, but I cannot recall the details at the moment.

None of you are Sx/So.
Just stop.
