MBTI as friends

ESFP: That friend that always does a funny (or inappropriate) pose when the camera falls on them

ISFP:

ESTP: That friend that always wants to go out and do awesome stuff, forgetting that money exists (gif is ESTP’s friend describing them)

ISTP: That friend that unironically likes to solve or fix things. They either have an interest in cars, physical puzzles or computers. They are great for finding out solutions to your problems. Also, will 11/10 be able to rescue you if you were stuck in an elevator

(Gif is obviously an ISTP cat trying to be saved)

ESFJ: That friend that will always support you no matter how crazy or stupid you sound (doesn’t mean they won’t judge you but it’s only out of love)

ISFJ: Your mom. She cares, she plans, she loves...is she perfect? Maybe. But don’t forget to ask her what’s going on in their life too.

ESTJ: That friend that is so busy, it seems as if they never have time to sleep (please help them)

ISTJ: That friend that has all their shit together. While you’re trying to study for a first-year maths course, they are practising for a 3rd-year level maths course. Idk how, idk where they get the time, but they did it??

ENFP: That friend that is always down for anything and literally is the life of the party. Their optimism and fun-loving nature just draws good vibes

(Idk the gif just fit so perfectly)

INFP: That friend that always has some low-key insightful advice. They are amazing listeners and love to throw around concepts with no direction. Also the best cuddle buddies!

ENTP: That friend that disappears for months at a time and hits you up at 2am asking if you wanna backpack through Europe

INTP: That friend that disappears for months at a time and greets you with an insult (in a loving way)

ENFJ: Your certified psychiatrist and morale booster. They might actually know more about you than you know you???

INFJ: That friend you go to when you can’t explain why you’re feeling what you’re feeling. Crying for no reason at 3am? Call them up, they probably sensed something was wrong since 12am and were waiting for your call. They get you.

ENTJ: That friend you always want to go to when you have problems in your life. They are confident that they can solve any of your issues, just leave it to them. (But please allow them to ask you for help)

INTJ: That one workaholic friend. Are they in love? Are they married? Are they happy? Once you check their facebook you realise the answer to all three questions is yes...with work that is

Se appreciation post

As (one of the millions of people here) with an inferior Se, I have only recently realized the usefulness for Se. And I have only realized this once I moved out into university, when I had to GO and get things myself and GO and create things myself. I honestly hate so much that I get so physically drained by sensory stimulation, inferior Se is no joke. I get so overwhelmed by so many different events happening around me, I am not sure where to look or how to predict what would happen. I have this thing where I can probably predict the event of something like a cup of water falling over, but when it comes to me actually STOPPING that cup of water, I end up knocking it over myself. It’s bloody horrible. I also spend HOURS planning an unfamiliar bus route to work, and then get LOST AS FUCK after a couple minutes on this new route. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PLAN, WHEN I BRING MY PLANS TO REAL LIFE IM A FUCKING MESS. Ugh, I would love to surround myself with Se doms and Se auxs, but they intimidate me so so much. They’re always moving and doing things, and that…scares me. I’m not sure if I’m just an abnormally slow person or a childish person that can’t “handle the real world of adults” but I seriously feel boxed in because of my inability to be active and act on my plans. I’m sure everyone has felt this way sometime, but I just feel this challenge constantly. So yeah, Ni may be cool or whatever, but God. I fucking wish I didn’t have an inferior Se, it’s hindering me so much in trying to get the things I want in life. Ni is good I guess in theory, but out here in the world, Se wins. Pls ESTPs, ESFPs, ISFPs and ISTPs, adopt me TT.TT

hey, if you haven't done it before, could you maybe make a post about the most common types for each sign/the most common sign for each type?

Love the idea!

About to do it :P thanks for the idea <3

advice for an infj, aquarius sun, virgo moon? during the year, I had become quiet a loner and have grown to be a stay-at-home person. last year I always was with a group. I mean, I always had been more of a lister, but since the beginning of last year, I barely talked to the people I called 'friends' before. I never felt that close to them, but it feels so odd and uncomfortable to always spend the breaks alone. we're on good terms and can talk, but I can't feel at ease around them anymore. help?

Hi there cutie,

I know 10000% what you mean. When I was younger, I would force myself to surround myself with people 24/7 because I wasn’t comfortable with people seeing me as a loner. I didn’t really consider these groups “friends” and our relationships weren't very deep.

My advice to you is that if you don’t feel comfortable with them, forcing it won’t help make it any easier for you. I suggest that you take some time to reflect and decide for yourself if you want these people to be your real friends or if you want real friends, whether or not it is this particular group. 

Once I separated myself from the people who were too draining to keep up with, I was much happier and was able to find people I could relate to much deeper. I may have about half as many friends, but everyone I consider a friend is a true friend.

Don’t hesitate to expand on your opinion in my ask box :)

MBTI for dummies

Got a couple requests for an in-depth explanation of MBTI so here’s my take on it: (Long post ahead)

MBTI encompasses 16 different personality types. These 16 types each have 4 uniquely placed functions. The functions being split into judging functions: Fe, Te, Fi, Ti, and perceiving functions: Ni, Ne, Si, Se. This is not to confuse with judging types which are the XXXJs or perceiving types which are the XXXPs. 

The reason why the judging functions are called the way they are is due to the fact that this is how a type makes decisions and judges right from wrong. 

Fe strong types will typically go through the route where other’s needs or wishes are fulfilled (very generally, not always like this)

Te strong types will prioritize efficiency and will execute decisions separate from their or other’s feelings

Fi strong types value authenticity and will always check in internally with themselves before making decisions

Ti strong types will be curious and more withdrawn, choosing to do certain things for the curiosity of the reaction

Perceiving functions, on the other hand, are how each type understands, sees and takes in information.

Ni strong types typically take in a lot of information from various places and summarise it to make it understandable internally

Ne strong types have a very wide variety of interests and prefer to expand on already established ideas

Si strong types prefer to refer back to examples, past experiences and gather all information in other to create an idea with the least problems

Se strong types are “in the moment” and are very observant without actually noticing it and are natural at describing and explaining their thoughts to others.

Very generally, this is how each of the function stacks work:

The dominant function is the first function of the stack. It is typically the function you naturally reach for with little to or no energy taken.

The auxilliary function is the second function of the stack. It is usually the function that helps your dominant develop but it still takes a little more energy to express and is not as natural.

The tertiary function is the third function and is the second weakest function. It typically can be expressed healthily with age, but can be draining to develop. It is probably where your pet peeves come from since you do not fully understand it yet.

The inferior function is the last and weakest function. This function is typically expressed solely during stress, AKA when your dominant function slips up and lets the inferior control. It is very draining, you usually are aware when you are doing it and can be expressed both unhealthily and healthily at any age.

Some problems that people encounter with the function stacks include:

Inferior grip-which is when you are stuck in an episode where your inferior is dominantly controlling you. You are perhaps going through a tough time and your dominant has stepped back and your inferior is perhaps giving you bad habits

Dominant-tertiary loop-is when your functions stack skips over your auxiliary and goes right to tertiary after your dominant. This is usually done during times of stress, but not so much as the grip. Typically during finals week, weddings or any other stressful moment of life that is not negatively life altering.

Some notes to keep in mind are that if you share a strong judging function (Fe, Fi, Te, Ti) with someone but not the same perceiving functions (Ni, Si, Se, Ne) then you two may have the same goals/desires but clash in ideas of how to get them.

For example an ENTJ (Te-Ni-Se-Fi) and ESTJ (Te-Si-Ne-Fi) may both want the same result for a project. they both want the project done as efficiently and as accurate as possible. However the ENTJ might suggest more untraditional and risky methods whereas ESTJ wants solid past examples and work in order to come up with a plan.

For reference, here is a function stack of all the types: 

Hope this was helpful??? This is a very VERY summarised version of MBTI. I hope this encourages you to do your own research on the functions to really figure out your own type and other people’s!

Love you all :P And btw, we are nearly at 1,000 followers!!!! I’ll be doing some special for when that time comes :)

Hi there! I was wondering what types have you dated and what you thought of them? Idk I'm just really digging your blog and your opinions :P

Hi there fellow follower :)

I actually only had 3 boyfriends, one for 1 year, one for a couple months and the last one for 1.5 years.

My first one was EXTP (I have a feeling he’s ENTP tho) and we got along really great as friends but it would never have worked out long term. He was just an overly busy person who had horrible time management so I always felt like I had to pick up after him and feel neglected. I ended up doing a whole project by myself for the one class we had together, ofc I was happy to help take off some stress, but he didn’t care that it burdened me a lot.

My second one was ESFJ. The thing that attracted me to him was the strong Fe, he was so caring, sacrificial, generous and traditionally a gentleman. He was always super super understanding of any drama I had and just overall such a sweet person. However, the deal breaker for me was when he started to want to change me and my appearance. He was quite traditional, and expected me to conform to the same rules, such as wearing skirts, dresses and just more girly things. I didn’t like that and ended it pretty quick.

My last one was ENTJ. We still are super super close and he’ll probably be the only person that’ll actually stick with me through the end tbh. He’s hardworking, social, strong (mentally and physically) and a very admirable leader. However, the Te and Fe clash between us was a constant problem. I won’t get too much into it, but it was my first relationship where it was pretty mutual on the breakup.

I suppose my take on this is that I’m attracted to extroverts :P But overall my most satisfying relationship is with ENTJ, there’s something about that Ni connection that makes things easier yet a mystery??? I’m not sure, but INFJ and ENTJ are a personal ship for me :3

Thanks for the ask!

Hello so I was wondering Im an ENFP(Libra) who recently found out Ive completely fallen for my best friend whos a INFJ (Gemini) the only problem is we've both been traveling for months and months now, so what's happened is hes told me how he likes me and wants to be with me no games or anything .An I guess I was just wondering how seriously to take what he says cause Im over getting heart broken, and also wondering how the pairing between us will work romanticly as weve only ever been friends 😥

Hi sweetie :3

Ahhh that’s so so cute >.< tbh any XXXJ (or with a high Te/Fe/Ni/Si) will not play around when they say they want a relationship with you. I understand you may have some troubles with trusting someone to not hurt you, but chances are that the INFJ knows you feel that way. He is most likely being so straightforward in order to give you some relief and let you believe that you can trust him.

Theoretically, ENFP and INFJ are natural partners where they are naturally drawn to each other (romantically or platonically). I can vouch for this myself as I am surrounded by ENFPs without really noticing it. ENFPs are one of the most introverted extroverts (Along with ENTJ and ENTP), which is a great balance for most introverted types. And generally, any air signs are very compatible, so I could definitely see Libra and Gemini working no problem :P

I wish you the best of luck! Trust your intuition xDDDD

Hi ∪･ω･∪ I've never encountered a zodiac / mbti blog so this is pretty cool!! My natal chart says I am mainly aquarius - pisces dominant, my sun and rising are both Pisces and my moon is in Virgo, what mbti type do you think suits these alignments the most? Thank you for taking your time! 😁

Hi there :D

I’m glad you’re interested in our idea of combining astrology and MBTI, but they are not correlated. Your Zodiac/natal chart does not determine at all what your MBTI type is.

The way I like to see it is that when you are born, you possess some general traits that you cannot change. Then as you grow up, interact with people and learn, you develop your own MBTI type. Your Zodiac sign does influence how you develop your MBTI type (maybe) but it does not determine what it will be. For example, a brother and sister living in the same household may develop a similar MBTI type, like ESFP and ENFP, however, they can have very different Zodiac signs. The ESFP may be a Taurus and the ENFP a Pisces, they may have a very similar personality but their nature is very different. The ESFP Taurus may be more “chill”, comfortable being with other people and prefer to learn by doing, whereas the ENFP Pisces sibling may be more distracted, imaginative and learn by reflecting/writing. However, these two may be similar in terms that they may have the same habits, the same taste for food, the same sense of what is right or wrong, which is ALL learned and not determined at birth.

In short, I cannot tell what type would suit you best because literally any type would :)

My biggest fear

ISFP: Hey INFP, what’s your biggest fear?

INFP: Hmm… Probably staying alone with my thoughts and having to face and reflex on them therefore falling in a pit of self-conscious questions which will then lead me to philosophical thinking about the biggest questions ever asked knowing there’s no way I can ever find the answer for them leaving me depressed and anxious because what’s even real, right?

ISFP: Oh…. Mine’s someone breaking into my house while I’m showering and having to fight them naked but it seems really stupid right now

Hi I really like your blog and stuff but i have a romantic emergency I need advice on if thats ok!! How would a Libra intp and picses enfp work?

Hi there! An emergency?? I hope everything’s alright :(

However, I have to say that my advice is solely theoretical and based on very limited information and knowledge! ANY TYPE AND ANY SIGN CAN WORK!

Typically INTP and ENFP would make a pretty natural match. The strong Ne in both types makes for a sort of mutual understanding in how the other thinks and how the other got to a certain conclusion (Even if they can’t properly explain themselves, they would just get each other). The only clash is probably that Ti versus Te and Fe versus Fi.

Regardless tho, that strong Ne is such a key component in compatibility that most likely, an INTP and ENFP would either come to an agreement (whether that may be agreeing to disagree) or they would just drop it, deciding that it really doesn’t matter what the answer is and move on. Both types are great at not dwelling on things, although ENFP is much more emotional and expressive, both are quick to let go and make up.

As for Libra and Pisces, it’s not a particularly problematic pairing. It certainly is a little rarer since Pisces is very introverted and is sometimes intimidated by Libra’s “social butterfly” personality. But both these signs share a common trait of being indecisive and imaginative. Both are creative signs, just in different energies. Pisces may be more personal and full of heart, whereas Libra is more concerned with others and how they can make things better externally.

Anyways I hope it was interesting to read! I hope your romantic emergency goes smoothly? Let me know if you need more!

The MBTI types watching a movie

ESFP: Laughs the loudest during the funny parts making everyone laugh with them

ISFP: Was the one who brought the movie, they brought a comedy movie filled with meme-able material

ESTP: “I tried that, it doesn’t happen like that”

ISTP: Was dragged from their room by their ESFJ roommate to hang out, yet probably laughs first along with ESFP

ESFJ: Is the host of the party, constantly makes sure everyone has enough to eat and rations all the food properly

ISFJ: Makes conversation with INFJ about what’s been going on in their lives, also probably brought presents for everyone because they weren’t sure what to bring

ESTJ: Brought a cool science documentary to watch, but only INTJ, INTP and ISTJ voted for their movie. Is low-key salty the whole movie

ISTJ: Tells everyone to shut up so they can focus on the movie

ENFP: Is down for any movie. They arrived 30 minutes into the movie but still managed to completely understand the plot

INFP: Brought blankets so everyone could sit on the couch snuggled with blankets. Probably fell asleep.

ENTP: Tries to hog all the food. Fights ESFJ when they try to ration it and share it with other people

INTP: “I read about that, it wouldn’t happen like that”

ENFJ: Doesn’t eat anything, constantly saying they’re not hungry. Is the only one who asks ESFJ if they ate anything

INFJ: “That was so mean :( the bad guy has feelings too”

ENTJ: Is pretty chill and probably adds in a couple of well-timed (inappropriate) jokes

INTJ: Was dragged by their ENFP roommate to make company for them. Argues the character’s decisions out loud

I am an intj and a Leo sun/Scorpio moon and I'm still attempting to settle these with each other because their descriptions seem to cancel each other. out. Thoughts? (I just followed this blog and I'm excited! I love this type of content)

Hi honey :)

I saw you liked so many of our posts I’m so flattered <3 I’m glad you like our stuff!

I can see why the descriptions could be confusing, especially considering the fact that Leo is equivalent to ESFP (stereotypically) in MBTI terms...which is the opposite of INTJ :P However I can propose the theory that introverted MBTI types had a stronger preference for their moon sign. I am not sure if this is legit, but I’ve just noticed with other, especially if they have conflicting moon and sun signs, that their preference for moon or sun relates to their preference for introversion or extroversion :) That being said, this could perhaps explain your situation. I can see you being quite influenced by Leo as being a person that doesn’t take shit from others, is (perhaps surprising to others) very generous, loyal and a little selfish (not always in a bad way). However, with your Scorpio moon, you may naturally come off as very secretive, reluctant to get to know others, always unconsciously assume everyone has bad/dishonest intentions and over seem just... “intense”. Taking all this together, I’d like to think that one you warm up to people, you may fit the Leo description a bit more, while staying in the lines of the INTJ realm :)

Honestly, an INTJ with a Leo and Scorpio signs aren’t that far-fetched. Leo definitely has that Fi feel to them, as well as Se...resembling your tertiary and inferior functions :) Scorpio, of course, can describe Ni very well so these two signs could fit well together :D

Thanks for the interest! Let me know what you think of my thoughts xD

Hi again =)))) this is the ISFJ Sagittarius that asked about the ENTP Gemini guy and i feel the need to tell you that he kissed me goodbye when were together earlier after telling me he really liked me HAHAHAHA so loooool there HAHAHAHA

INTP+ virgo? I know it's a horrible combination

Hi sweetie :)

No of course not. Any combination of type and sign are very unique and always interesting!

INTP and Virgo is pretty cool to see as it’s generally not seen together, theoretically. The reason for this is that generally INTP is seen as very distracted, disorganized, inventive and rebellious, whereas Virgo is seen as righteous, polite, organized and a hardcore planner.

Even though these two seem to be complete opposites I really like these two together. I like to think of Zodiac as the part of you that you cannot change, you will always naturally fall back to your sign at times of great stress and under change. MBTI is more malleable and is the part of you that you develop as you grow, and is the state that you are most comfortable in expressing and are more aware of.

Hence, it may make sense when you take INTP’s inferior Si in order. Your natural Virgo attributes may cause you to be able to much easier develop your inferior Si. This is really good since when you’re under extreme stress/pressure, you are less likely to break and go into a bad Si-grip. Your Virgo sign may help you balance out your Si and make you get shit done carefully in order to get over obstacles. You, in comparison to another INTP that isn’t a Virgo, may struggle with their Si much more than you, given that you both live in the same house, culture, etc.

Never say that your own personality is a bad combination :) And please don’t take this too seriously, I am no professional, this is just me and my limited knowledge of MBTI and Zodiac talking :P

Hi I was wondering if you could explain some theories on your personal mbti ships? Some of them are interesting :) And maybe explain why the tumblr community is so obsessed with the INTJ x ENFP or ENTP x INFJ or INTP x INFP, etc pairings?

Hi there honey :)

I read somewhere that there is a thing called “natural pairings”? Where there is a natural attraction (whether romantic or not) towards a particular type. The theory is that for example, INTJ’s natural partner is ENXP. Basically switching every letter except for T vs F. In functions, which is more interesting, a type’s tert function is their most attractive function. For example, ISFJ’s tert Ti may cause them to naturally be attracted to XXTPs due to their high Ti.

Now I’m not too sure if this actually works? In my own personal opinion if you both share a high function, they should naturally be drawn to each other. This may be like, ESFJ being drawn to ENFJ’s Fe, or ESTJ’s attraction to INTJ’s Te. This is kind of how I based most of my personal mbti ships and just plain gut feeling :P

For the tumblr ships, I think tumblr has an obsession over the whole “dog and cat” relationship. Where this warm and sunshiney person warms up the cold heart of the introvert. It’s not a bad pairing, of course, but it’s just very general and doesn’t always work romantically. However I ship INTP and INFP just because they’re the smol cuties of MBTI :P

~INFJ

[female-rational]

What does INTJ, ENTJ, etc. stand for? Also, how do you find out which one you are?

Hi there newbie :3I'm so glad you're interested in MBTI! It's really an interesting way to get a general sense of how the people around you think and process information. However beware that MBTI is not perfect, people do not fit neatly into boxes and two people of the same type may not be very similar. Every type has strengths and weaknesses so don't be fooled by the intuitive bias here in tumblr. ANYWAYS NOW ON TO THE ASKEach type name is in the order of "introverted vs extroverted, intuitive vs sensing, thinking vs feeling and judging vs perceiving". Generally we don't recommend you type yourself this way, the popular site 16personalities.com does this and it's not the most accurate. However this is a very quick and generally straight forward way to type book characters, celebrities and people we may not know very deeply.Introverted vs extroverted refers to how we are able to take in and give out information. Do you prefer to absorb in information more internally and work it through by yourself? Or do you prefer to brainstorm, bounce ideas off someone or quickly try out the ideas asap?Intuitive vs sensor refers to how we process information and how we retain it. Generally intuitive is more "theoretical" their thinking process is more disorganized and they are less in touch with more physical and real problems. Sensing is more consistent, clear, more capable of communicating complex ideas to others and enjoys concepts that have a practical or usable function.Thinking vs feeling refers to how we make decisions. Do you run with your heart or your head basically. Do you value the meaning of something or the use/function of it? Do you prefer to step away from emotions when making decisions or not?Judging vs perceiving refers to how our thoughts are organized. Judging is usually more structured, perfectionist, "checklist people" and usually agree with rules via enforcing them or following them. Perceivers are more laid back, prefer to spontaneously decide on plans, disagrees with structure and prefers to do their own thing whether or not it agrees with the rules.Anyways that was a sparknotes versions of mbti. I highly recommend not using this method to type yourself or other close friends/family, but this will be hopefully a stepping stone to more complex ideas.I am probably going to make an "mbti start up guide" post so keep coming back :PThanks for the ask :)~INFJ
