What if you were a different type?

[prplchknz]

Like you think you're xxxx but you're actually yyyy?

what if? I want to know from your perspective what if? I mean how much of your life would change? would your perspective change? would you think you'd deserve to be treated differently? and anything else you would like to add.

I would not be as arrogant, selfish, anti-social, power hungry, or success-seeking as I am now.

Wow! What makes you these things?

 

[NewEra]

Wow! What makes you these things?

Don't know, maybe it's environment or something. I just mentioned negative points, I didn't mention anything positive.

 

[Jeffster]

I have no doubt that I'm actually yyyy.

 

[Laurie]

I was just talking to someone about "what would you be if you could be one pesonality for a day"

 

[GargoylesLegacy]

Hm, what would change. Nothing. I would still be a walking paradox I guess. Oh and also people would still be very confused about me.

 

[laintpe]

i would TALK... i think. that would be odd.

 

[Wild horses]

I would like it... i'm gonna chose ENTJ yea I wanna be one of those for the day.... WHERE DO I SIGN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Simplexity]

INTJ or ENTP. I'd probably be somewhat more comfortable being ENTP, because when I'm arsed I do enjoy toying and messing about with people. I do sort of like to be a detached manipulator of sorts and I enjoy interacting and absorbing knowledge and information from others. I love hanging out with some of my ENTP friends.

INTJs are more against my nature so it would probably be the most interesting experience. It's so opposing though when you get down to it. The constrained nature is what is really discomforting. The continued progression, consistency, and pragmatism is somewhat alluring though.

I don't know about power hungry, but people sometimes accuse me of some of these others:

arrogant: just a front
anti-social: If you can find my extrovert switch I'll be your best friend for life.
success-seeking: We all have to earn a buck, I don't see anything wrong with that.
selfish: Nope. People who know me would not say that at all. Sometimes I think people expect me to be a mind reader. I might find out something I did or didn't do upset someone, but I had no idea they want it in the first place.

I do have a habit of reading too much into situations. I think I'm not the only one.

I think I might like to be an ENFP or ENFJ for a day.

 

[NewEra]

Yeah, if I were to choose, I would just see how it's like to be ENFP for a day. Just to experience what it'd be.

 

[ajblaise]

Judging by how much type changing goes on here, I'd say almost most of you are a different type than what you think you are.

 

[Jeremy]

Maybe I'm losing my imagination, but it seems to me that if your personality changed that significantly, you'd be someone else.

I don't really find that appealing. Now, if I did have to be someone else for a day, it'd totally be someone completely opposite from me. I wouldn't want to "be them" though. I just want to live in their head and try to understand what's going on in there. Let them make the decisions.

 

[raz]

I want to be an ENTJ. I'd take over the world.

 

[prplchknz]

See my argument is nothing would change, except other's perception of me. If I ended up being a different type, I would still be me. I don't think I'm defined by what type I am, just my personality and mannerisms etc add up to INFP if it turns out I misunderstood the functions/what is an INFP and am I different type, it just means I was wrong. I don't think my whole personality would change.it's like when you change from a red shirt to a blue shirt the only thing that changes is your shirt.

 

[Jack Flak]

If I ended up being a different type, I would still be me. I don't think I'm defined by what type I am...

That's a common INFP misconception.

 

[Valiant]

If I were a different type I would probably go for ISTP. I like ISTP's generally, and they're often really awesome at what they do, besides from being artistic about it.

 

[prplchknz]

That's a common INFP misconception.

right, but my point is if you change your personality to fit a type you then are no longer your self.

In Soviet Russia, personality type changes YOU!
