Sorry to lose ya from Team SP, Dave. But you will always have a place in our hearts.

As will you SPs have a place in mine.

Boo hoo.

ENFPs are great - my teenage daughter is one and strangely enough, people say that we are very much alike. LOL

BTW, thanks for your help. I can't help but think that the articles you posted somehow contributed to my revelation.

Wow. ISTP-->ENFP is quite the leap considering how very different they are. I'm curious how your cognitive processing test came out if you could share that with us.

Indeed it is.

Although I've grown to seriously question the validity of the online MBTI tests I will gladly take any test you might recommend if you are interested in my results. That being said, my decision was primarily based on a flash of insight supported by months of introspection and research.

Lookin4theBestNU - which congitive processing test do you recommend? The one that's most often recommended here (which I can't find at the moment) scores me different every time I take it and seems unreliable for several reasons. Lately I've been scoring very high on both Ti and Te and lower on just about everything else. But I ALWAYS come out as an E on that test even though I know I'm an I. Is there another test? (though I've honestly given up on testing and find reading about the types more useful)

Sorry to hijack.

Edit - actually I see many similarities between the two (except for the analystical thinking versus feeling process) - funloving, easy going, a bit animated, like winging it, good at reading people ........

In my case my results are highly dependent upon my mood while taking the test. Consequently my results tend to vary greatly. My other problem, as I've come to realize, is my preferences tends towards the middle of the I-E and T-F scales.

Understanding the Eight Jungian Cognitive Processes / Eight Functions Attitudes

I think this is the one...it's been a long long time since I've taken one. I remember how hard of a time I had deciding if I was ENFP or ENFJ.

That's a cool link.

Here's my results when I took it:

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: ISFP

Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Feeling (Fi): Staying true to who you really are. Paying close attention to your personal identity, values and beliefs. Checking with your conscience. Choosing behavior congruent with what is important to you.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Sensing (Se): Immersing in the present context. Responding naturally to everything tangible you detect through your senses. Checking with what your gut instincts say. Testing limits and take risks for big rewards.

If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ESFP, or ISFJ

If these results are different from what you know of yourself, you might consider why your developmental pattern does not align with your expectation. You might also consider exploring this result as a possible better fit.

Ne/Fi there you have it folks.

... and what have we concluded?

That's a high Fi score, I think ...

 

[Lookin4theBestNU]

Sorry. Ne+Fi makes you ENFP according to that test.

Ahh. Now I understand. You'll have to forgive me, I'm a bit tired.
