The Three ENTP Modes

Intuition Outgoing, friendly, goofy and weird, everybody can’t help but love this version of you. You’re the one taking the spotlight, most likely with a crazy story that happened to you in the past. Although you’re loud, talkative and annoying, this is the side of your personality you love. So why don’t you keep it up all the time? Well… it’s exhausting.

You can only really act this way if you’re surrounded by people you like and are comfortable with. If your not around any familiar faces, most likely you’ll be more subsided. This leads us to the second ENTP mode.

Thinking This mode is the analysing mode, the reason why you judge people so much and secretly hate the majority of people.

Have you noticed in group conversations with people you don’t really know, you’re strangely subsided? Yup, that’s your thinking mode, trying to analyse the situation instead of partaking in it. Thinking is your introverted mode so instead of taking the spotlight in an unfamiliar group conversation, normally you’ll just add in a sarcastic or funny comment.

Feeling This is your people pleasing mode. A good listener and aware of other people’s emotions. Sure, you dislike most people but you don’t like it when other people dislike you. That’s why you’ll go out of your way to be super nice to certain people.

Normally, these certain people are strangers that you’re trying to leave a good impression on, people you find interesting and want to be friends with or the bosses that you want to be hired by. However, this mode feels pretty unnatural when used all the time and being too nice and pleasing to other people can leave you emotionally drained.

If you found this somewhat accurate pleaassseeee follow me. My blogs new so I have no followers yet. Thanks :D

MBTI brothers and sisters

*by brothers and sisters I mean types that have same dominant and inferior functions but not same secondary or auxiliary*

Dom Te Infer Fi (ENTJ-ESTJ)

ENTJ: "Get out of my way. Let me bring this group out of chaos. My way is the only way we'll succeed. Either contribute or leave. I've based our success on level of innovation, progress and success-fail ratios. With me as the leader we can grow and overcome our competitors."

ESTJ: "Do as I say. I've laid out rules for us to get out of chaos. My way is authoritive and will always be the best way. I've based our success on time taken, success-fail ratios and overall result. With me as the leader we can avoid mistakes and overcome our competitors."

Dom Ne Infer Si (ENFP-ENTP)

ENFP: "I want to explore and learn more about myself! I want to find myself and experience everything that life is willing to give. Don't drag me down. Either join me or watch me"

ENTP: "I want to explore and learn more about everything! I want to understand the mysteries of the world and all it has to offer me. Don't drag me down. Either argue your point or shut up"

Dom Se Infer Ni (ESFP-ESTP)

ESFP: "Spontaneity is what makes life worth living. It defines who I am by the actions I choose to do. I will not be held down and will not trade my own morals for anything else. Life is one long party."

ESTP: "Spontaneity is what makes life worth living. It makes life interesting and worth learning about. I will not be held down and will not trade learning for anything else. Life is one long party that deserves to be lived."

Dom Fe Infer Ti (ENFJ-ESFJ)

ENFJ: "All I want is everyone to feel accepted and inspired. I believe that everyone has a story and their story should inspire others. I am here to teach and inspire others to have harmony"

ESFJ: "All I want is everyone to feel accepted and safe. I believe that everyone has a story and that it should teach others about life. I am here to serve and care others, striving towards harmony."

Dom Ti Infer Fe (INTP-ISTP)

INTP: "We might never understand the world but that doesn't stop me from trying. There are so many aspects and things to learn that other people fail to understand. We are here for the purpose of knowledge and understanding, contributions to human knowledge is crucial."

ISTP: "We might never understand the world, but that doesn't stop me from testing it. There are so many aspects to experience and learn from that others fail to understand. We are here for the purpose of discovery and understanding, contributions to human knowledge is crucial."

Dom Ni Infer Se (INFJ-INTJ)

INFJ: "The world is made of intricate patterns and events. This is also true when it comes to people, I am able to see the pattern within someone. I am here to wonder, learn and at all costs help the needy, the giving and the minority. My mark on this world may be insignificant to most but I make a different in the big picture."

INTJ: "The world is made of intricate patterns and events. This is true with virtually any concept in sciences, arts and maths, I am able to see these patterns woven within theories and laws. I am here to wonder, learn and at all costs achieve my well established goals towards my own success. My mark on this world will be significant to society, whether it be to some or most."

Dom Si Infer Ne (ISFJ-ISTJ)

ISFJ: "The past is what determines an outcome for anything. The past molds a person's personality and I am here to help them through it. Methodical strategies and consistency are all crucial to fully help others and understand them to a personal level. I am here to help serve and do the right thing"

ISTJ: "The past is what determines an outcome for anything. The past molds the rate of success and I am here to take advantage of that. Methodical strategies and consistency are all crucial in order to fully reach my ambitious goals. I am here to achieve and do whatever allows me to get the job done."

Dom Fi Infer Te (INFP-ISFP)

INFP: "In the end, I know that I should be happy with who I am. Who I am is the only thing I can be sure about. I want to discover who I am by exploring the world, doing things that challenge myself and allow me to grow. Everything is beautiful and this allows for me to appreciate the love of the world I live on. I see things no one else can."

ISFP: "In the end, I know that I should be happy with who I am. Who I am is the only thing I can be sure about. I want to discover myself by being spontaneous and doing things others are too afraid to do. Everything in this world is like a challenge or an obstacle waiting to be experienced and this allows me to appreciate the complexity of the world. I see things no one else can."

*so sorry for the long post!*

Unexpected Aspects of the Types

ENFP: They actually crave schedules and structure like nobodies business, if and only if it revolves around their passions.

INFP: The “manic pixie dream girl” stigma is so wrong. 90% of them are more along the lines of “embittered memelords” with a splash of off-beat and sensible fashion.

INTP: They’re actually excellent in social situations that they throw themselves into. Your odd aggressiveness and shouting is amusing and weirdly charismatic.

ENTP: You’ll have to murder them a thousand times before they’ll admit that they actually DO crave harmony and peace more than chaos; Debate and verbal jousting (and memes) is just their way of getting there.

ENFJ: The worst time management skills. Worse than all of the P’s put together, bar none. You got stars in your eyes and not a single “no” in your throats and it often leaves you ragged busybodies from over committing yourselves.

INFJ: Despite their ‘mysterious and secretive nature’ stigma, if you engage them in a deep conversation about their passions, 9 times out of 10 they will splay their soul to you even though you met 5 minutes ago at a college party.

ISFJ: They’re known for being the kindly, grandmotherly type that just wants the best for their friends, but the flip side is they’re all basic bitches that secretly crave being a tool. They’re usually just too nice to go Full Douche™, praise the Lord.

ESFJ: Despite being known as the social butterfly, the Fe and Si combination sometimes makes for an extremely judgmental, polarizing, and single-minded personality, and can seem like the most socially inept/oblivious person in the room.

ESTJ: Weirdly enough, more often than not, they’re one of the most socially graceful and self-aware people in the room. That, or they’re utterly cringeworthy. Not really any in between. Just don’t get them started on politics (I’m begging you).

ISTJ: Despite the ‘emotionless Traditionalist™ robot’ stigma, although they can’t offer consistent emotional output, all of the ones I’ve met are some of the most emotionally stable, mature, and available people I’ve ever met.

ENTJ: Your responsible, efficient, and commanding CEO of a friend is actually the biggest procrastinator in the game, bar none. It’s hidden under a few hundred layers of self-confidence, but they need the stress of the last minute to feel anything in this world.

INTJ: Massive internal war between fearless, emotionless sociopathy, and caring so deeply for a select few people that they’d give up every ambition to follow them to the ends of the earth without a single plan. TL;DR, their black and icy hearts are secretly hearts of gold and they absolutely abhor that about themselves.

ESFP: Your favorite quick-talking, loud-mouthed, social explosion with all the friends is probably pretty lonely on the inside. Almost every ESFP I’ve met has huge commitment issues (big and pretty accurate stereotype), but few people realize it usually comes from self-knowledge of their sporadic nature, and they keep people at an emotional distance as a result, so they don’t end up getting hurt. Advice: letting people in and trying to make it work is infinitely better than loneliness in a crowd.

ISFP: The EXTJ’s WISH they could be as soul-crushingly terrifying as your favorite superwholockian, equestrian painter friend when somebody’s crossed their family or friends.

ESTP: The “sex, drugs, drinking, and more sex” cliche with ESTP’s is so dumb because literally every ESTP I know doesn’t care about alcohol or sex more than any other person I’ve met, but they ARE infinitely more obsessed with ultimate frisbee and bridge jumping.

ISTP: The calm, rational, logical side of Ti is thrown completely out of the driver’s side window when they’re behind the wheel, because these hoes have the worst road rage I’ve ever seen, without exception.

An MBTI glossary

Inspired by a few of my recent asks. The goal here is to define basic terms, not to go very deep into function theory, as those resources already exist.

Function: The 8 building blocks of the theory. This glossary will assume you’ve at least looked these up since they’re pretty well documented elsewhere. They are: Fe, Fi, Ne, Ni, Se, Si, Te, Ti.

Stack: The functions in order for a specific type.

Main Stack: usually refers to the four functions associated with each type in MBTI. There are other theories (notably socionics and the idea of shadow funtions) that use all eight.

Dominant function: The top function in your stack. People will sometimes refer to types as (function name)-dom (eg: ISTJs and ISFJs are Si-doms)

Auxiliary function: second function in your stack. Abbreviated to aux or (function name)-aux: ESFJs and ESTJs are Si-auxes.

Tertiary function: third function in your stack. Abbreviated to tert or (function name)-tert; INFPs and INTPs are Si-terts.

Inferior function: fourth function in your stack and last function in your main stack. Abbreviated to inf or (function name)-inf; ENFPs and ENTPs are Si-infs.

Looping: oscillating between your dominant and tertiary function, usually due to an unhealthy aux function, unhealthy tert or dom function, or stress.

Gripping, “In the grip”: using your inferior function unhealthily without using your higher functions. Often a stress behavior.

Perceiving: the sensing and intuition functions, which are the functions that determine how you gather and initially process information (Se, Si, Ne, Ni)

Judging: The thinking and feeling functions, which are the functions that determine how you assess and categorize information (Te, Ti, Fe, Fi)

Introvert (MBTI meaning): Someone with an introverted dominant function.

Introvert (not MBTI): someone primarily energized by solitary time.

Extravert (MBTI meaning): Someone with an extroverted dominant function. Extravert is correct; a lot of people, myself included, use the spelling extrovert which is technically not correct but widely accepted.

Extravert (not MBTI): Someone primarily energized by time spent with others. Also should probably be spelled extravert but many spell it extrovert.

Ambivert (not MBTI): THIS CONCEPT DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN THE MBTI THEORY. Outside of MBTI, someone equally energized by time spent alone or with others. Technically speaking virtually all people are energized by both at different times and require a balance, so ambivert is usually used to indicate people who fall fairly close to a 50-50 balance.

Sensor: someone with a dom or aux sensing function (ISFJ, ISTJ, ESFP, ESTP, ISFP, ISTP, ESFJ, ESTJ)

Intuitive: someone with a dom or aux intuition function (INFJ, INTJ, ENFP, ENTP, INFP, INTP, ENFJ, ENTJ)

Thinker: someone with a dom or aux thinking function (INTP, ISTP, ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ISTJ, ENTP, ESTP)

Feeler: someone with a dom or aux feeling function (INFP, ISFP, ENFJ, ESFJ, INFJ, ISFJ, ENFP, ESFP)

Judger: someone with a dom or aux extraverted judging function. Type will end with a J if they’re a judger.

Perceiver: someone with a dom or aux extraverted perceiving function. Type will end with a P if they’re a perceiver.

Dichotomy: MBTI typing done without using the cognitive functions, just I/E, S/N, T/F, and J/P. Usually not very accurate, but it’s what most online tests use. It’s an okay starting point, but studying functions is an expectation.

sensa-tion

I’m...

DOMINANT FUNCTION:

Fe: Empathetic and warm-hearted. Other people are one of the most important things to me and I find it hard not to care about them or to want to keep them happy. I’m a lover of people

Fi: Emotional and opinionated. I have strong feelings about who/what I value and what is truly right, so I let my personal values influence myself more than anything else. I’m an idealist

Te: Driven and responsible. If I want to get something done, I’ll quickly find the most efficient way to do it. I’m a go-getter

Ti: Rational and independent. I love making logical sense of what I don’t know and figuring out how things work to solve problems or just for the hell of it. I’m an analytical thinker

Ne: Very stimulated by ideas and concepts. My mind is always energised by interesting thoughts and connections between them. I’m a visionary

Ni: Detached from the moment by itself and perceptive of the bigger picture. My 5 senses only take me so far, I’m mostly concerned with intangible possibilities and hidden meanings behind things. I’m a contemplator

Se: Spontaneous and highly in tune with my surroundings and happenings in them, which I’m almost always confident in experiencing and interacting with. I’m a realist

Si: Quite in touch with information I’ve gained in the past. My memory is very strong and I’m constantly comparing what I experience in the present to things I’ve experienced in the past. I’m a traditionalist

who…

AUXILIARY FUNCTION:

Ni: Has clear plans and goals for the future along with a good idea of how to realise them.

Se: Sees things as they are and has no problems with improvisation or immersing themselves in the moment.

Si: Lets past experiences guide them and influence how they see the world.

When needed, I can…

TERTIARY FUNCTION:

Fe: Be gregarious and charming to get others to like me or to keep a social situation running smoothly,

Fi: Remind myself of my emotions and ideals of right and wrong,

Te: Do whatever it takes to complete a task or solve a problem,

Ti: Step away from emotions and make sense of things rationally,

Ne: Consider multiple possibilities and play with novel ideas,

Ni: See beyond my senses and pay attention to the intangible and to what could become of something in the future,

Se: Indulge in sensory experiences and be open to spontaneity,

Si: Thoroughly compare an experience or an idea to one that’s in my memories,

but many of my faults come from…

INFERIOR FUNCTION:

Fe: Not being very empathetic or sociable and not fully understanding how to properly act in some social situations.

Fi: Being too objective and not being able to foresee what feelings certain things can provoke in myself and others.

Te: Being reluctant to ignore my personal values and consider objective measurements of value and achievement.

Ti: Placing too much value on my own and other peoples’ feelings and not enough on objectivity and rationality.

Ne: Not being very open to novelty or uncertainty.

Ni: Failing to plan for the future or to perceive what my senses can’t.

Se: Being uncomfortable with living in the moment or interacting with my physical environment.

Si: Being bored by constant routine and predictability.

Inert vs. Contact Subtype in a Nutshell

I felt this is useful information that should be more known, so I decided try to dessiminate it myself.

Guardians

ISTJ:

ISTJ-Si: Courteous, professional, appreciator of comforts, lowkey individualistic

ISTJ-Te: Industrious, severe, impatient, very resourceful within their area of expertise

The latter is apparently rarer and occassionally mistypes as INTJ. I presume the former’s orientation toward comforts can completely turn around/express itself differently depending on enneagram.

ISFJ:

ISFJ-Si: Measured, considerate, unhurried, mildly inquisitive Can be artsy.

ISFJ-Fe: Lively, friendly, upbeat, sociable, tiny bit cheeky.

Basically elegant vs adorable.

ESTJ:

ESTJ-Te: Serious, straightforward, more taciturn, courageous; Can be strict or have no chill

ESTJ-Si: Enthusiastic, sociable, hospitable, a lot more expressive, does have chill but can be pushy

The stereotype is ovsly more inspired by the former; The descriptions of the former sound somewhat unflattering, but theoretically, they’d have better acess to their Ne, so there’s that.

ESFJ:

ESFJ-Fe: Very expressive & social but also temperamental, wears more “attractive” clothes, can be a bit scattered, opinionated

ESFJ-Si: More plain but also more practical & dilligent; Lively, charming and helpful, can tend to overwork themselves

The popular stereotype is the former, the descriptions on internet profiles more the latter.

Artisans

ESFP:

ESFP-Se: Proactive, energetic, confident, assertive, can be dramatic, leader material

ESFP-Fi: Charming, team worker, pragmatist, likes having the newest & shiniest toys, not quite as risk-taking

The stereotype is ostensibly more based on the latter. More ppl should remember the former exists before declaring ambiguous cases as ESTP or ENFP.

ESTP:

ESTP-Se: Basically the commonly known “flashy clever bastard” version; Forget the “clever” part at your own risk. Snarky, charming & strong-willed with a soft spot for their favorite people

ESTP-Ti: Much more low-key in clothing & demeanor, collected, suspicious & skeptical, good with business stuff, cunning behind-the-scenes-y person but notices everything that happens around them

The latter could be mistaken for introvert, or even an intuitive if someone’s going purely by stereotypes. Chances are they’ll have more pronounced Ti-ish speech patterns & expressions.

ISFP:

ISFP-Fi: modest, gentle, caring, well-mannered, sensitive, can be shy & dislikes to impose, but firm & critical about principles, very perceptive of ppl’s behavior

ISFP-Se: Tough, fortright, blunt, venturesome and vigilant and adaptable, impressive death glare.

Gentle Flower Child vs. fierce independent adventurer. Descriptions are usually one or the other, leaving at least one half of them miffed. The former can be mistaken for ISFJ, the latter for an extrovert.

ISTP:

ISTP-Ti: Very discerning & autonomous, likes some degree of preparation, stoic & preseverant, modest & unpretentious but can also be friendly & attentive

ISTP-Se: More restless, gusty & impulsive, though more outwardly courteous & communicative as well, perhaps more sportsy & stylish, bit more sociable

All the “badass vigilante” or “hardcore hobby person” stereotypes sort of reference the former. The latter seems like that stereotypical super chill male friend. (or tomboyish soccer girl.)

(Boy, does socionics as a whole ever have a crush on SPs. If you’re tired of descriptions that were obviously written by NPs, read these ones.)

Diplomats

ENFP:

ENFP-Ne: Super dreamy & outwardly carefree, frequently bookish, maybe a bit more scattered, can alternate between shy & cheerful, chill & energetic, more colorful clothes, forgiving (to an extent), tries to be friendly & understanding toward everybody

ENFP-Fi: Independent, original & artsy. Prefers to work directly with people, (unlike the other subtype), determined clever & purposeful, energetic & sociable, earthy & comfy but still original clothes. Adventurous, romantic, maybe a tad self-critical

The stereotype seems based on the latter. I’ve read somewhere that the former can have sciencey inclinations, and maybe be closer to ENTPs in some respects, though the presence of Fi ultimately makes for a marked difference.

INFP:

INFP-Fi: Polite, quiet, firm, very serious, very introvertey; Insightful but private about it. Clothing can be minimalistic or reflect inner thoughts somehow (music subculture etc.)

INFP-Ne: Reserved in public but diplomatic & mentor-like in private, bit more openly friendly or dreamy, tends to have a mischievous sense of humor in the manner of other NPs. Modest & unassuming clothes.

The usual stereotype is very specifically a sx/sp 4w5 base subtype individual, and not a particularly well-adjusted one at that.

ENFJ-Fe: More moody/passionate, dramatic or flashy, also decisive & a good speaker, very initiative & inclined to solve other’s problems with advice, but can be perceived meddlesome, wants to be seen as serious & respectable and might agonize over responsibility.

ENFJ-Ni: More reflective, deliberate/purposeful, very sociable in a inquisitive sort of way, boundless interest in people, eloquent & good at “selling” their ideas & beliefs or describing feelings in a detailed distinctive manner, can have a more latent kind of temper

“Hero” vs. “Teacher”. Stereotype wise I can’t so much discern a general tendency. Interestingly & perhaps amusingly, the descriptions suggest either variety is very creative with their clothing.

INFJ:

INFJ-Ni: Quiet, dreamy & contemplative, romantic & melancholic, significantly more withdrawn & observer-like

INFJ-Fe: Artistic & charming, more socially involved, very persuasive & excellent at picking up & shifting the mood around them, can come off somewhat bohemian & have surprisingly good crisis reactions.

The former can mistake themselves for NTPs or INFPs, the latter could be confused with extroverts.

Rationals

ENTJ:

ENTJ-Te: Less expressive, decisive & forward despite a tendency to think & reflect, quick to abruptly spring into action, serious & dignified, persistent & tenacious, not that extroverted, values honesty, bit more pragmatic & cautious

ENTJ-Ni: Bold & charming with a well-developed sense of humor, good sense for opportunities, naturally constructs plans that are far-reaching yet concrete, bit wider interests, ponders the big questions

I wonder how this correlates with wether they’re 8s, 3s or 1s.

INTJ:

INTJ-Ni: Way more lowkey in terms of ambitions, spends much time with contemplation & reading, calm, reserved & distanced, can be grumbly, reserved lifestyle, small & stable circle of friends, well-developed imagination, less confident

INTJ-Te: Ambitious, tries to improve on/ methodical about everything, dislikes inefficiency, good at forming wide circle business connections, tries to be knowledgeable on a variety of issues & shows creativity in practical matters

Again, here the stereotype is pretty specifically a Te-subtype 5w6, making it a bit harder to identify the base subtype ones, even more so if they’re one of the rarer enneagram combinations.

ENTP:

ENTP-Ne: Very curious about all manner of unusual topics, has a certain childlike naivity & helpfulness about them, loves to share exciting discoveries with others, tends to be more scattered but can be thorough when they find something they’re truly passionate about

ENTP-Ti: More savy & self-assured, but can come off sharp & inconsiderate at times. Can be impatient. Vigorous, strategic Debater, good a turning vague ideas into workable plans, could be leader material

The “trololol” Stereotype seems like an exaggeration of the latter variety. The former seems almost too cute to exist but I think I’ve encountered a few examples.

And last but not least: INTP!

INTP-Ti: Calm, serious & uncompromising, remains silent and austere if uninterested, correct, proper & strict, dislikes leghty discourse. Erudite & specialized, frequently math-y, more persistent, hard-working & meticulous

INTP-Ne: More into breadth of knowledge, creative, soft, funny & excitable when in the right mood but also a lot more scattered & procrastinatey, rarely as absolute in statements, but very much in action, can be stuborn.

The former seems more represented in descriptions whereas the latter seems more frequent on tumblr. I am an example of this… (^^°)

—

Incidentally, this (along with enneagram-related variations) probably contributes to varying degrees/shadings of introversion vs extroversion (”social introverts”, “introspective extroverts”, introverts who present with fairly forward personalities in private etc.)

You can do further reading here or here to determine which one you or your aquaintances are, it gets pretty detailed complete with body language. Also, here’s some theory behind it;

The Tl;Dr of that article is (as far as I get it) basically that for brain science reasons, there’s either a positive or negative feedback reaction when you use your 1st 2 functions, resulting in a slight emphasis of all other odd- or even numbered functions, and that this is why there is such a thing as an unusually sciencey ENFP, also why some ppl might actually be better at their role function than their tertiary. (For what little good that does.)

Feel free to tag/post which one you are or something.

As usual corrections & additions by actual experts are always appreciated.

ESTP-Ti - My style of fashion is kinda “flashy” but other than that, spot on description.

Your ESTJ Care and Handling User Guide and Manual

This manual is part of a series of guides originated by @intpboard Content and perspective provided by ESTJ unit @theinfamousj

Congratulations!

You have just selected your very own ESTJ Executive unit! As our most popularly selected unit available you are sure to be pleased. In fact, satisfaction is guaranteed! If you are unsatisfied with your unit simply submit a complaint directly to your unit itself.

Your ESTJ will come with the following accessories:

One (1) Professionally Tailored Power Suit™

One (1) Set of lounge clothes

One (1) formal outfit for religious and formal events

One (1) Laptop

Two (2) Cell phones

One (1) Gym Membership

One (1) Pair of smart gloves for texting

One (1) Bluetooth headset (for talking to people while talking to people)

Software

Your ESTJ comes pre-programmed with the following traits;

Te: As the dominant function, this provides your ESTJ unit with unmatched efficiency and a keen understanding of what works in a practical setting. This function provides your unit with high levels of organization and practicality as well as a blunt clarity in communication style that other units may find abrasive.

Si: This function provides your unit with a mental database of previously established effective methods of handing situations it has encountered before that can be recalled quickly when needed.

Ne: This function provides your unit with a boost to creative problem solving when facing a new situation or when previously established methods are no longer effective.

Fi: This function provides your unit with moral indignation and superiority as well as curiously strong attachment bonds to carefully selected partners. As the inferior function your ESTJ will avoid accessing this software as much as possible as it directly interferes with their default mode.

Getting Started

There is no need for a quick-start procedure. Your ESTJ will be fully functional and activated right out of the box. In fact, there is no box because excess packaging is highly inefficient.

Modes

Get Shit Done Mode (default)- When in this mode your ESTJ will complete any and all necessary tasks required for successful completion of the assigned goals. In order to activate this mode, your ESTJ will require suggestion(s) and/or idea(s) to be presented. If more than one suggestion or idea is presented your ESTJ will automatically select the most effective or efficient one and proceed to get that shit done. This mode can be intermittently active for however long is necessary to complete the project.

Do Absolutely Nothing Mode - Automatically activated after completion of a major project deadline. Your ESTJ unit will cease all productive function and instead do absolutely nothing until it is sufficiently recharged.

Oh Hell No Mode - Activated whenever someone assumes your ESTJ unit will get shit done but neither asks nor directly informs your unit. When activated your ESTJ unit will express noticeable aggravation towards the assuming person and refuse to complete the task as a matter of principle.

You’re Doing It Wrong Mode - When activated this mode has two possible outcomes; 50% chance of activating the “fine, give it to me” response. In such cases your ESTJ will assume responsibility for a task which they no longer can observe another unit fail to satisfactorily complete. If this response does not activate your ESTJ will simply watch in smug amusement considering it a fitting lesson. This mode will deactivate after your unit says “I told you so”

Touchy-Feely Mode (locked) - Randomly activated by what is assumed to be fluctuating levels of hormones and emotions within your ESTJ unit. Also can usually be unlocked and activated by having your ESTJ unit watch an action movie with a strong emotional component (i.e. Big Hero 6)

Relationships with Other Units

NF: Finds them confusing but likable. Good project partners that provide good energy to a group.

NT: Generally very confused by them. Sometimes Infuriating, but your ESTJ is unable to walk away from what it perceives to be a mess. Often surprised that NTs do not walk away first. Confused by their seeming inability to accept statements at face value and instead to analyze everything.

SJ: These units make sense to your ESTJ, who considers them to be good people provided they are willing to try something new when the old methods do not work.

SP: Frequently cause eye rolling in your ESTJ. Finds them fun to have around but hard to take seriously or respect. When SP units feed your ESTJ it will probably like them, but may still not respect them.

Feeding

For optimal performance, provide your ESTJ with food on a regular basis. While it will cook for itself, cooking is seen as an interruption to getting shit done. Cooking is inefficient because you have to cook again at the next meal.

Grooming

Your ESTJ will groom itself. No need to concern yourself there.

Sleeping

Your ESTJ will automatically enter sleep mode when the body shuts down. Any attempt to induce sleep prior to shut down will be met with hostile resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my ESTJ thinking? Whatever the last thing you ESTJ said was.

What is my ESTJ feeling? Neutral unless otherwise stated

How do I plan a date for my ESTJ? Come up with a detailed plan and submit it to your ESTJ. Wait for notes providing suggestions for improvement. Follow the notes.

Why does my ESTJ have so much criticism? Your ESTJ is not criticizing you - just your plans and ideas. Your ESTJ is simply trying to help you improve your ideas and plans as much as possible.

But have you considered…. Yes. Your ESTJ unit has already considered that. Thank you for your input.

Again, Congratulations of your new ESTJ unit! Now go be productive!

Your ENFP Care and Handling User Guide and Manual

This manual is part of a series of guides originated by @intpboard

Congratulations! You have found yourself in possession of your own unique ENFP unit. There is a high likelihood that your ENFP found you, but regardless of how you got to this point, you are now responsible for your very own ENFP to love and enjoy! Since ENFPs are notoriously difficult to handle, your SJ overlords have issued this guide to hopefully help along the way.

Your ENFP will come with the following accessories:

One (1) Starter pack of moral convictions

One (1) Unique starter outfit chosen specifically for your unit

One (1) Normal socially acceptable outfit (use only if necessary)

One (1) Set of puppy-dog eyes for use when your unit senses an emotional disturbance in another unit that is resistant to sharing

Three (3) Companion Introvert Units for emotional tending and deep conversation

Infinite (∞) Ideas and Possibilities

One (1) Internet accessible device for research binging

One (1) self replenishing coffee cup

One (1) Starter pack of idiosyncratic behaviors

Software

Your ENFP comes pre-programmed with the following traits;

Ne: Your ENFP is a functional walking idea generator. While this trait does make your ENFP susceptible to distraction and excitement, this programming accounts for the exceptionally high levels of optimism included with your unit. Your ENFP will have constantly changing hobbies, interests and ideas. This function can only be disabled through sensory hyper stimulation (see Si).

Fi: While seemingly constantly happy and excited, your ENFP has many deeply held values and feelings. This function can be activated my asking your ENFP unit how they are feeling and silently listening to what follows.

Te: Your ENFP will not only seek new ideas, but will also seek to be deeply informed about those ideas. When this function is activated via the Fi function, an bitch slap mode may be activated

Si: Your ENFP is prone to random bouts of sentimentality and a preference for familiar sensory experiences. When directly activated this function can overwhelm Ne resulting in uncharacteristic stubbornness.

Getting Started

Your ENFP unit should arrive pre-activated and highly animated. In case your ENFP has not been activated please complete the following;

Place ENFP in social setting

Place 1-3 included introverts within visible distance

Wait 30 seconds

If after 30 seconds your ENFP unit has not activated causing an introvert to cry will immediately activate ENFP’s caring mode.

Modes

Manic Pixie (default) - Attention span disabled and energy levels maximum. In this mode your ENFP will be rapidly seeking out new ideas, opportunities, concepts and possibilities while simultaneously trying to understand and participate. This mode does have a limited use, but no way to know when it is nearly depleted.

Existential Teddybear (default) - Speaking function reduced to existential lines of questioning. When Manic Pixie mode has depleted, this mode automatically activates. Primary mode in small groups of introverts.

Caring - Activated by the presence of another unit with feelings that need to be processed. Difficult to deactivate unless activating unit has been emotionally supported and/or helped. Often involves invasive and insightful and accurate statements articulating what other units are feeling.

Bitch Slap - Activated by both obvious social injustices and direct violation of a personal value. Detailed, irrefutable, empirical evidence articulated to show that another unit has acted objectively immoral. When this mode is active your ENFP will painfully spell out exactly why you are wrong.

Emo - Activated seemingly randomly by a large influx of emotion that your ENFP unit must withdraw and analyze in order to understand and integrate. occurs approximately one (1) out of every fifteen (15) days. Completion of this mode is often signaled by your ENFP unit announcing it has learned something new about itself.

Productive (locked) - Only unlocks under intensely high interest levels or stress. Produces a staggering amount of material in a short amount of time.

Relationship With Other Units

In general, your ENFP unit will be liked by most other units it comes into contact with.

NF: Often activates Existential Teddybear mode. Can come into conflict if values conflict.

NT: Activates both Existential Teddybear and Bitch Slap mode. Also activates caring mode, but covertly.

SJ: Generally well accepted in Manic Pixie mode and viewed with amusement. SJ units will naturally remind your ENFP unit to tend to their physical well being, which they often forget.

SP: Compatible primarily in Manic Pixie mode. Warning: Leaving your ENFP unit alone with one or more SP units will likely result in trying really bad ideas.

Feeding

Your ENFP unit will need to be fed regularly. Your ENFP unit is capable of constant snacking as well as completely forgetting to eat. Your ENFP unit will not die if left to fend for it’s own food, but the consistency and healthiness of that diet would likely not be good. Your ENFP simply needs to be reminded to eat on a regular basis and provided with a few healthy options to choose from.

Grooming

Your ENFP will also need to be reminded to groom on a regular basis. Your ENFP will automatically groom if trying to present a good impression, but regular maintenance requires outside diligence.

Sleeping

Your ENFP will try to argue that sleep is unnecessary. Do not give in no matter how convincing the argument is. Just repeat that sleep is good until ENFP begins to slow down and tiredness sets in. If ENFP continues to resist, take away all entertainment sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t my ENFP ever finish anything?

Your ENFP unit comes equipped with dominant Ne. As with all things, this requires a trade off. In the case of your ENFP unit, Ne allows it to produce many ideas and start many projects, but does not extend to completion. Upgraded ENFP units with integrated Si are more capable of completion, but even then your unit will always start more than they finish.

Help! I turned around for a second and now I’ve lost my ENFP!

Your ENFP is most likely not lost, simply distracted. It is common for ENFP units to be easily distracted and immediately pursue that distraction. Just keep doing whatever you were doing and your ENFP unit will find it’s way back to you eventually and will have an exciting story to tell you when it does. If your ENFP goes missing for an extended period of time it is possible that you have accidentally activated ENFP’s fear of commitment. In this case, provide your ENFP with a heartfelt communication via phone or email. Your ENFP will at that point most likely return to at least discuss what caused them to leave.

How do I turn this thing off?

You don’t. There is no off switch on your ENFP unit. If you find your ENFP overwhelming, simply tell them you need some time to yourself and your ENFP unit will happily find someone else to annoy in the mean time.

Can I keep my ENFP?

Yes. ENFP units frequently form companion bonds for life, but any attempts to limit your ENFP unit’s freedom to explore and pursue what interest them will result in resistance and likely resentment from your ENFP. ENFP units must be shared freely otherwise they are likely to rebel against their captors owners.

Again, Congratulations on your new ENFP unit! Go have fun and explore!

Your ISTP Care And Handling User Guide And Manual

Congratulations! You have found yourself in possession of your own unique ISTP unit. Or rather, it has found its current situation agreeable for the time being. Since ISTPs are notoriously difficult to understand, we have issued this guide to help you along the way.

Getting Started

Your ISTP unit should arrive pre-activated and ready to solve problems. In case your ISTP has not been activated please complete the following:

– Place ISTP in a quiet setting.

– Point out 1-3 problems or things you do not understand.

– Wait 30 seconds.

– If after 30 seconds your ISTP unit has not activated, asking your ISTP to “Open up more emotionally” will immediately activate Flight Mode (though this is not recommended).

Care and Maintenance:

Your ISTP unit does not require any direct care, supervision or maintenance, and will be happiest left to its own devices.

Efforts to assist your ISTP will be met with annoyance and could possibly void your warranty.

If you give your ISTP rules to follow, you should take care to explain why they are in place. You should also expect that if they are inane rules, they will not be followed.

Interpreting Your ISTP

At some point you may say to yourself, “I wonder what my ISTP is thinking?” Here is a short guide on how to interpret your unit’s words and actions.

[Silence]

Your unit is likely thinking through a problem, contemplating its surroundings, or is thinking about nothing at all. Do not worry, this is normal.

“I’m fine.”

Your unit is fine. Do not worry, this is normal.

“I need some time alone.”

Give your unit time to recharge. If you recently subjected your ISTP to an intense or prolonged period of social interaction, this should be expected. However, frequent abuse of your ISTP’s limited social engagement function is not recommended and can void the warranty.

[Shared experience]

This is as close to your ISTP as you will likely get. Willingly participating in an activity together is one of your ISTP’s primary methods of communicating fondness.

Software

Your ISTP comes pre-programmed with the following abilities/traits:

– Remains calm in urgent and stressful situations.

– Reliably grounded, realistic, and pragmatic.

– Ability to be a “Fly on the wall”

– +10 Tinkering Skills

– +10 Logic

– +10 Feelings Resistance

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my ISTP actually like me? It’s getting hard to tell and it won’t respond when I try talking to it.

Probably, especially if your unit willingly chooses to spend time around you. Try not to talk so much.

Help! I think my ISTP is broken!

Your ISTP is not broken. Due to its natural ability to overanalyze and rationalize (sometimes to an unhealthy degree), your unit may be stuck in its “WTF Years”. Give it time to grow, and offer encouragement when needed.

Can I keep it?

Unfortunately that depends on the model. If your ISTP goes missing for an extended period of time it is possible that you have accidentally activated your ISTP’s aversion to commitment. However, with some models this feature has been omitted, in which case you might be able to keep your unit for the entirety of its expected lifespan.

Congratulations on your new ISTP unit and we wish you many years of interesting experiences!
