Top 5 MBTI types! (as in types ya get on with best/find most interesting to read about)
Alrighty! Let’s see here...
1. Either ISFP or ESFP is one of my close friends’ types - we still haven’t figured out which (she’s busy with college and holidays too). Regardless, I do like interacting with some of the high Se people I know. They fascinate and amaze me with how they’re actually very calming to hangout with; contrary to the over-the-top stereotypes high-Se users get. They’re still willing to be daring and have fun, of course, but are mostly chill beyond belief!
The (likely) SFP close friend, for example, has this actual motto for herself, being a genuine “Oh well, that’s life!” A saying I would only use super sarcastically myself when frustrated. She deals waaaayyy more easily than I can if something goes wrong or out of control. Stuff can still stress her out like any other person, but that Se way of handling it from what I’ve noticed... It’s pretty darn admirable.
Basically, they’re WAY more flexible and care-free than I can ever be.
More related to ISFP/ESFP: I can be hit or miss with high (mostly dom) Fi people. Thankfully, I can still have close friends with high Fi! I just end up learning a LOT about how to handle them. Which is good anyways, honestly.
2. ENFPs or INFPs. Some of my other few close friends are of these types, most likely. They’re one of the few people I get along with the best, and I’ve known ‘em for over 8 years now. I didn’t quite hit off with the ENFP at first, especially since he also had his own issues with me when we had first become friends... But, we managed to overcome those obstacles. The (possible) INFP close friend is one I would consider a best friend of mine. I plan on looking more into typing her more thoroughly, though... Because lately I’ve been wondering if I understand her cognition correctly.
Another great friend may be INFP too, but I’m thinking of retyping him to be sure. I made these typings when I was still in the start of my learning with this system, and when I assumed myself an INTJ. :’D
3. INFJs. At least the one person I know who’s most certainly an INFJ. Despite our Te and Fe differences (and sometimes clashes), we get along really well!
It also proved helpful having an Ni-dom friend when I was in my own retyping process, because I started to realize I don’t lead with it as much as I had thought 1 - 2 years ago. Plus, I can notice the difference between Tert and Inf Se more clearly. That said, we still have the same perceiving functions, which makes for some interesting dynamics between us (especially with our opposite judging functions).
4. ISTP is a type I like reading about here-and-there, apparently. It’s likely the fact that high Se intrigues me, but Ti-Fe is one heck of a dynamic I try learning more about. It’s somewhat similar, yet drastically foreign to the way my Te-Fi works. I’m not sure if I know any Ti-doms personally (I’ve known some definite ExTPs), though I’ve met a couple of likely Ti-doms. And, sometimes Fi-doms can seem similar to Ti-doms if I’m not paying attention enough.
5. ESFJ; though I only have been good friends with one ESFJ. The ESFJ I had known was the purest person I met aside from my SFP friend I have today. She does have some bit of a disability, which makes social situations more rough for her, but I can still see she leads with strong Fe motivations and functionality.
This ESFJ wanted to make friends with everyone, and that included me when I was a fresh new 9th grader. However, back then, I feared making new friends due to seeming like a magnet to being bullied. Every. Single. School. Some of those bullies were people who were my “friends” at first.
And yet, this ESFJ was committed to get my to hangout with her or talk to her. Idk what she saw in me, and she did just like plain meeting new people, etc. But, her stubbornness in becoming my friend actually helped me overcome the bad state I was in. So, I thank her for that, and consider her a highly valuable person no matter if we’ve lacked contact these days.
We were pretty close as she became like a little sister to me too; and eventually when I saw her getting bullied while at that school with her, I made sure to keep those jerks in their place.
She was too kind for her own good and extremely opposite to me. But we got along just fine! I’d say she’s good enough reason to place an ESFJ in my list even if I’ve been close to only one person of the type (from what I’m aware of).
That’s my top 5 for MBTI types! Hopefully it didn’t go too long (let alone too sad-sounding/dragged-on in the end). Thank you for the ask!
