Teasing, coaxing, playing, wrestling.
Oh and messing about on my PC.

I have a dear friend who is ENTJ and he enjoys socialising and loud parties with lots of people drinking, dancing and talking about superficial stuff.
My idea of fun is a few people to whom I feel close (or maybe an interesting couple of people I have never met) having a few quiet drinks and maybe a meal at one of our homes, then talking about meaty topics while listening to good music in the background.
I'm and E, but, I'm ENFP and I go back and forth between Extroverted and Introverted depending on my mood and what's happening around me. So what is fun depends on my mood and what is happening around me.
If I could sum it up in one word, I'd say, variety. I find a lot of things fun, and get bored if I do one thing too much.
Things that I find fun:
-Insatiable Curiostiy, your idea of fun is definitely up my alley.
-Playing board games in a medium size group
-Hanging out with or talking on the phone with another NFP all night
-sex
-going out dancing at a club
-performing
-being entertained by books, tv, movies, music etc
-turning up the music and just co-existing with my husband while we cook, clean, work on projects etc. (this happens rarely, but I love it when it does)
-learning with my son
-learning about new things
-researching a new idea and then doing something with it
-gardening, being around nature (but nothing as drastic as camping or something)
-talking to whoever will listen
-I could go on and on, but I won't.
Sometimes I want to be alone and enjoy myself, but I love haning it with one other person, small groups. medium groups, and if the atmosphere and activity is right I love being center stage in a big group.
As I scan down this list I notice that Lady X is the only E responding but that mostly I can identify with the "I"s perspective of fun that other members have shared. Are there any other "E"s who would care to share or if Lady X would elaborate please?
There IS no right or wrong answer here, only the issue of what drives another's enjoyment
I am curious - what is your idea of fun - is it determined by your typological preferences or something else entirely, or a combination of both?
