I’ve dated two men, and I was more rational than both of them, being less emotionally reactive and more inclined to make decisions based on reason.

I am an INTP, cultured yet kind, and I also wear skirts and dresses; I’m also on the shorter side (1.64 m). I imagine ENTPs might do something similar: being sharp-witted and mischievous, but with a touch of kindness that makes them irresistible.

I have been in some mbti communities to understand the people around me better. Most of my friends have made the mbti test and it's pretty funny to see how accurate it is, but I noticed many people go typing the people around them themselves and honestly I feel it's pretty superficial. Many people online think my typing is not accurate because I live life differently than other people with my type and I get that in my case I am Intj that leans a bit towards intp.

For example I smile a lot, it's probably a defense mechanism, since I do it a lot when I am actually vividly angry, but I mostly smile because life is a lot easier, people treat you better. Why wouldn't a strategist use this simple thing that opens up opportunities and gets you out of trouble? And yeah, I do believe some things are true, intjs can be really stubborn, but it has nothing to do with arrogance (not saying there aren't arrogant intjs), but the stubbornness comes because what most people are saying isn't reaching my logic at all.

The problem is, we can't see each other's minds and what the thought process is behind it. But it's pretty annoying people say I am another type when I am asking for some perspective, because I apparently don't meet a standard an intj should have and funnily if I analyze the other intjs I have met (and know they are because they typed themselves), even if we act completely different from each other and have different beliefs, we have the same logic with dealing with stuff. And that's what I am trying to find out in these mbti communities, how to read them better.

For example why would an Entp lie? When would an intj be emotional? What's the Blindspot of an Entj? And when people honestly say I am an xxxx and that's how it is for me, it's actually the best information I get, because I can gather information, compare the information and then draw some conclusions and challenge them constantly. But sometimes it's just annoying, because it's like "You probably are mistyped because you aren't exactly how I imagine your type to be."

It's a bit of a rant, but I am also actually curious how some of you are so sure of other people's typing. For me it's more like I make them take the test and then I pretty much am like "Yeah that makes so much sense".

I only open up to my boyfriend, my best friend, my father, and perhaps in anonymous spaces.

It is important to open up when necessary, but only with the right people, to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.

I met an autistic guy in a Facebook group and became his girlfriend after we met in person. The relationship was great for the first few months, but he only revealed his true self over time. He would get into arguments with his parents over the phone in front of my family, use profanity at home whenever he was upset with his parents or people online, and he was kicked out of every internet group he joined because he couldn't handle being contradicted. He was too lazy to go out with me or help with basic household chores; he was so spoiled that he didn't even know how to eat a whole apple with the skin on (I’m not joking). He played the victim, never took responsibility for his mistakes, and kept promising to improve, but he never did. He was manipulative, and he managed to hide all these red flags so well that I didn't realize what was happening or feel the need to leave the relationship. The final straw was his obsession with "woke" ideology: he decided he was trans, wanted to transition and change his name, would wear women’s clothing behind his parents' back, wanted me to participate in his fetishes, and, on top of all that, wanted to have children. I knew the relationship was a lost cause and wanted to break up, but he would tell me how lonely he was, threaten suicide, and claim he needed me, so I couldn't bring myself to leave. In the end, my parents had to step in and get me out of the relationship.

The curious thing is that he is unable to form friendships with other men, only with women. Ever since this happened, I have specifically sought out a boyfriend who is psychologically balanced.

We both suffered after the breakup, but we’ve moved on, and we are both in new relationships now.

I retook the MBTI test and I’m an INTP-T; this explains why I have some emotional reactivity, yet still base my decisions and beliefs on logic.

Disclaimer: This is mostly a thought experiment I've been entertaining lately about religion, social dynamics, and how people use shared beliefs to their advantage, not something I actually plan to do. I am also not trying to attack anyone for being religious, just sharing some thoughts I've had about religion and the social advantages that come with it.

So I was thinking how many ENTP and INTX are more likely to be atheist or agnostic, and don't like following an organized religion, and I happen to be one of those people. But I was thinking how ENTPs especially could think that it might be socially beneficial to say you are religious and believe in god, even if you don't, just to connect with other religious people. After all, there are far more religious people than non-religious ones, and claiming to share someone's faith could be an easy way to connect with them, gain their trust, and make them like you more. This is probably the Fe speaking haha

I have noticed a lot of self help influencers casually weaves religious statements into their stories about believing in god, trusting His plan, etc. and I was thinking how saying that probably makes religious people resonate with their content more than if they didn't say it. For example, I recently saw an influencer post a short about his life journey from poverty to wealth, and at the saying "god is good", like that probably encouraged more people to follow his journey. Not saying these people are faking being religious or exploiting it, but it is entirely possible that they could be emphasizing their belief for the clout, as it is to their benefit in this case. I'd also imagine religious followers might be more inclined to pay for access to the exclusive communities these influencers sell, especially if they feel a shared sense of identity and belonging from their stories. Catering to religious audiences also likely gives you an advantage because you already have some idea of what they want to hear.

Another story I came across was how my friend landed a job at a top tech company through a referral from their mom's friend that go to the same church. She ended up getting the offer with just one interview, during which the interviewer even said "well you didn't pass with flying colors, but you can learn on the job." That just made me think how going to church, especially in an area with rich people, is likely better than any number of networking event lol

Part of this mindset probably also comes from realizing how it is almost impossible to convince any religious person the faults of their religion or the fact their holy text was written by a human from 100 generations ago at the end of the day, so I think it's more practical to just use their beliefs to your advantage rather than spend effort making them understand. Sort of a "if you can't beat them, join them" mentality.

For context, I was born in a religious family so I was religious myself as a child, praying to specific god name and all, but as I grew older and developed my frontal lobe a a little more, stopped living in autopilot, and read more philosophy and religious debates, I just thought how stupid all this was and became agnostic. I can still easily understand people believing in god, since being an agnostic I partly believe there is a creator of sorts too, just not necessarily one who is omniscient or concerned about humans daily life, but I can't fathom following an organized religion anymore. And since then, for almost a decade now, I thought I would never want to do anything with religion, but now I am seeing the power it has over people which makes me wanna play pretend for when it could benefit me. At the same time, even playing pretend when I fundamentally disagree with it really irks me.

Another thing I have found absurd is how many people seem to follow religion simply because they are afraid of hell, which makes me even less inclined to label as part of the same crowd. However, even though I think it's stupid for people to believe that doing morally bad things will send them to hell, especially when our notions good and bad are ultimately constructs determined by humans, I'm still glad that people believe in hell or divine punishment etc., as it ultimately benefits everyone if they're afraid of doing bad things. I used to want people to make people realize that their religion is made up or at least question their religion, and realize that their beliefs are not as absolute as they think. But now, I'd actually be concerned if some of these people came to that realization and started thinking they could do whatever they wanted, no longer feeling shackled by their beliefs about hell and divine punishment. So, technically I am already benefiting from people being religious.

Looking back, I think I also had somewhat of a savior complex, believing that I needed to free people from being brainwashed into following a particular religion. But then again, a lot of people actually feel saved by their faith, so perhaps that brainwashing isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least from their perspective.

So I guess the irony is that I've gone from wanting people to stop believing in religion to realizing I might actually benefit more if they keep believing, and perhaps even let them think I do too. But where do you draw the line between being socially strategic and being manipulative or malicious? Would you ever pretend to believe in something or follow something you don't if it opened doors for you or worked to your advantage? Is this just Fe turning Machiavellian, or have any of you had similar thoughts?

TL;DR: I'm agnostic and don't believe in organized religion, but I've started realizing how socially and professionally advantageous being religious can be. Would you ever pretend to share someone's religious beliefs to gain their trust or access opportunities, even if you fundamentally disagree with those beliefs? Is that just being strategic, or is it inherently manipulative, or does it not even work the way I think it does?

I honestly don’t get how INTJs are supposed to be my “golden pair.” Every INTJ I’ve ever known has been a lonely, grumpy, massive stuck-up asshole who only cares about themselves and unironically seems to think they’re better than everyone else. It’s such a shame because I really enjoy them intellectually so much. I love their intelligence and independent way of thinking, but personality-wise, they’re my least favourite type.

I wish there were another type that had all of the INTJ traits I actually like, the calmness, organization, intelligence, but was also warm, sensitive, empathetic, and, you know, didn’t seem to fucking hate everyone for absolutely no fucking reason. Like, a feeling INTJ or something.

I've heard that eNtP don't really like INFP because they take thing's too personal but I really don't mind that. I feel like it's a small price to pay for someone who is super fun, silly and very kind don't you think. I really why don't get why so many eNtP make such a big deal about them being very fragile. I feel like we should just mature more. Plus they know exactly how we think.

I do, after all, they are separate cognitive functions, not opposites. I can vent when I need to, because emotional intelligence works better for me than emotional repression, yet I can simultaneously publish well-grounded arguments. I usually delete my vents and keep only my arguments, since some people don't understand this separation and I could lose credibility.

The Big Five personality test understands this, whereas the MBTI is limited in this regard. People are not purely rational or emotional; they are both, and what varies is how this manifests.

Since an additional test was requested in the previous post, I took the Big Five test. The AI ​​told me the result is consistent with the INTP personality type from the MBTI.

Note: I'm not good with enneagram. I got high 7w8, but a higher 5w4

I heard that eNtP 6w7 doesn’t exist and people always say if you get this your a mistyped eNtP. I have a character that disproves this though beat my argumen. Say hello to Edward Elric.

I took the test again, since many people questioned my type based on my posts. I really am an INTP; my individual variations still fall within that type.

I mean beatches need drama and im.born to provide it

I posted about it yesterday. I know two confirmed ENTPs who immediately ended long time friendships over their close friends not caring about the genocide in Palestine. And I, also ENTP, cut a friend off when I learned they killed animals for fun. Like, it’s one thing if it’s for purposes like eating, but killing animals just for the sake of it is just psychopathic to me.

Is this a normal thing for ENTPs? Because from what I know we are supposed to lack a moral compass and be morally flexible. This makes me unsure whether I’m a thinker. Have you ever done something like this ?

What kind of music are you into? Genres, artists, and songs. Curious to see how similar/different we are and also collect some recommendations!

This was a very interesting result. Had to take it twice, cause I forgot to save and hit back on something the first time and forgot to save. 😅😔

Took that 16 personality test and got ENFJ-A (don't feel the A), a while back. Took the other sarkinova test, also got ENFJ, recently.

So Yeah...I guess I'm here, maybe. Idk. Fun to find out anyway. 🤣 Sorry the pic is so tiny, was a long ass list.

Just doing this out of my pure curiosity about what people will think of my family based on MBTI. You can assume freely or ask me anything I suppose.

To be very honest with you, I love ISFP’s more than the INFJ’s and ENFJ’s I know in my life.

Every time I see a ISFP, like I can’t help but love them even though they are literally doing nothing.

I love aesthetics so much, when I see a beautiful scene of nature for example, I just tend to stare, even some stars that are visible in an airplane, as a 19 year old, I’d still be filled with amazement like a kid.

Maybe it’s because of that? Their shyness is another thing. Why am I filled with so much compassion to them while they are the least compatible type to us?

i just asking to know for you wich mbti is the most like having no personality, stoic, nonchalant, feeling nothing even if they want do stuff they know they like it but they feel like ugh?

have nothing or just don't like to speak and reacting just to the outside when something attract they attention visualy example someone pretty they wanna be friend even if they personality is what i wrote in the top *

they are just nothing like 🌫️

I have been in situations time and time again where i have witnessed my friends or family approach situations in way that seem so...grounded. Mostly Fi users, they seem to have this unwavering set of values that they use to intuitively guide their decisions and their opinions. Though often times this may be viewed as an "inconvenience" to the typical Ti/Fe user when it comes to being logically or socially efficient, I have found that they seem to handle messy social and moral dilemmas with such grace and certainty, which I personally envy. For example, I have a group of friends that I love dearly. I obviously have my own compass and sense of right and wrong/fairness, but I am not immune to having my opinions, specifically on people, swayed by the group. This especially goes for situations involving people that are not easily solvable and are often "grey", involve moral dilemmas, feelings, differing beliefs, multiple parties being wrong, etc. Something that you cant really, fully use logic to figure out. Suddenly, my confidence in my own opinion shrinks, and I constantly look to my friends in order to validate whatever I'm feeling about a particular, grey situation, because I trust them and think that "surely if everyone thinks this person is wrong, they must be wrong". I almost get this imposter-like feeling, because I know these opinions aren't fully my own, but in all honesty, my compass is too weak and underdeveloped to be trusted, which is a bad thing. I feel like a neutral, blank slate sometimes that just projects the generally agreed upon opinion of the room if the situation is too messy and ambiguous to figure out myself, and often find myself leaning towards the most socially safe and least consequential opinion, which sometimes also leads me to being a fence-sitter. I sometimes just wish I had that strong moral compass and certainty that Fi users have in themselves and their own feelings on something.

Honestly, I am just curious to see if any other Entps or non-Fi users struggle with this. What have your experiences been like with this particular issue? Also, if any Fi users are reading this, what's like...the process that goes through your heads...or guts? I am genuinely curious.

(Ps. Yall Fi users are incredibly underrated, please keeping doing what you do ;))

I’m ENTP-T and my entire life I’ve found it hard to make or keep female friends. I do have a few individual female friends on their own (who sadly all live far away) but I have NEVER been an integral part of a female friend group. I’ve always been on the edge of the friend group, if anything.

Could it be that being ENTP is a bit of a jarring personality for a woman? I’m sure I’m not following some social rules 🙈

Anyone else struggle with this? It’s made me really sad at multiple points in my life.
