MBTI

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions (Wikipedia)

Thoughts on entp 5w4? It's a very unusual combination & I've had a lot of difficulty typing myself.

5w4 isn’t that uncommon for ENTP’s. It’s usually associated more with the introverted thinking types, but an ENTP can still be extraverted while having the tendency to be more withdrawn than stereotypes might suggest. You just have to remember that introversion/extroversion is mostly just about how you get energy. I’ve met plenty of ENTP’s who prefer being in the company of other’s most of the time, but still have a habit of isolating themselves and being a bit more reserved than other extraverted types.

What enneagram type would an ISFP Ravenclaw lawful good/neutral be most likely to have?

6w5 and 5w6 are probably the most common.

Hi! I loved your description of two infps in a relationship. What's your opinion on a romantic relationship between an esfp and an enfp?

Thank you very much! ESFP’s and ENFP’s are a very common combination of types for a relationship, and with good reason! Both tend to be very energetic and fun, which probably accounts for much of the initial attraction towards one another.

in a relationship,do ENFPs and INTPs get along/work??

This is very dependant on the individuals, and in reality, all types are compatible / can get along with each other! Sometimes clashes can happen because of a difference in the way we process information and act upon it, but luckily in your case, ENFP’s and INTP’s have a lot in common when it comes to the functions. Both types have high levels of extraverted intuition (Ne), so there’s usually an immediate bond formed once they realize how easily they can bounce ideas off of each other. INTP’s and ENFP’s tend to be naturally drawn to each other because of their similarities. Like all types with dom/aux Fi, some ENFP’s may have a tendency to be stubborn, but seeing as INTP’s are one of the more open-minded and flexible types, they tend to work very well together! Thanks for the question!

I saw you did a relationship thing, so how about two INFPs?

Very pleasant, intellectual, and caring

Hello!!!! I'm 3w4 and keep shifting between entp and intp.. How do I identify my type?

It took me a while to figure out if a was an extrovert or an introvert, and I guess for most people it really just takes time?? I mean the most obvious way is just to ask yourself if you get energy from being around people or if being around people for too long drains you of energy, but it’s also super helpful to think about what function you “live” in. It’s pretty easy to tell apart a general state of Ti and Ne. If you’re a Ti-dom, you’ll constantly be picking things apart and internalizing information and definitely thinking before you speak/act. A Ne dom will tend to live in the moment a bit more and they’re always feeding off of ideas and thoughts and just constantly absorbing data but instead of immediately internalizing that information, they connect it to other pieces of information and build off of it. I hope that helps!

Is there a correlation between enneagram/mbti type and what philosophy they're most likely to follow (in ref to the post u just reblogged)? If so, what's the correlation?

someone did a good post about the mbti side here, i’ll tackle enneagram i suppose 

1w2/2w1: kantianism: do your duty, respect the golden rule, the end does not justify the means, the categorical imperative, other-centric morality informed by reason

“May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.” - Immanuel Kant

2w3/3w2: utilitarianism: the best actions are actions that have the most overall utility and usability, the end generally justifies the means, greatest happiness for the greatest number

“The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, or the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” - J.S. Mill

3w4/4w3: materialism: worldly possession and status is important, self definition by achievement and possession, that which exists is essentially the sum of its parts, focus on empiricism

“Let us then suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters without any ideas; how comes it to be furnished? Whence comes it by that vast store, which the busy and boundless fancy of man has painted on it with an almost endless variety? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, From experience: in that all our knowledge is founded, and from that it ultimately derives itself.” - John Locke 

4w5/5w4: rationalism: knowledge is generally independent of experience, you can discover most things by pure reason alone regardless of their complexity, values the use of intuition and deduction to discover truth 

“The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.” - Rene Descartes

5w6/6w5: skepticism: we cannot truly be sure of what we know, everything is to be doubted and nothing is truly reliable, be it reality or our own minds

“When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities.” - David Hume

6w7/7w6: epicureanism: do as you will, do not fear death, value your friends and relationships, and strive for the absence of pain and fear

“It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.“ - Epicurus 

7w8/8w7: Machiavellianism: it is valuable to detach from others in order to inflict necessary evil, it is better to be feared than loved when both are not possible, personal strength (especially of character) leads to success

“Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.” - Machiavelli

8w9/9w8: stoicism: live according to human nature and try to not be disturbed by intense emotions, especially in times of conflict or hardship

“He suffers more than necessary, who suffers before it is necessary.” - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

9w1/1w9: cynicism: live in a way that is convenient and natural, happiness comes from rejecting worldly and conventional desires, avoid ignorance and achieve tranquility, be wary of the downfalls and negatives of human nature

“Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.” - Diogenes

So... Brotp otp notp for intj???

Brotp: ENTP!Otp: ENFPNotp: I hate this one ugh it’s so negative?? Probably INFP though

[mbti-thoughts]

Brotp otp and notp for infj?

Brotp: I think definitely ISFP or INTJ

OTP: ENTP or ENFP

Notp: ESTJ?? I DON’T KNOW I’M SORRY

[mbti-thoughts]

Would you mind comparing an INTJ 5w6 with an INTJ 5w4?

THIS IS REALLY COOL TO THINK ABOUT OKAY 

If you’re just trying to figure out which one you are then I’d honestly just recommend looking up type 6 and type 4 descriptions and profiles and deciding based off of that because that’ll give you a much better idea of them rather than me sitting here going “type 4′s are more idealistic and opportunistic, while type 6′s are more skeptical and distrusting of the unknown etc etc etc.” One thing to look out for though is that some of the type 6 descriptions revolve entirely around the theme of distrust and anxiety, but both of these are common traits in young adults anyway so any type could easily behave like this and be any enneagram, really.

With that being said, I wonder how the wings affect the manifestations of the functions? I don’t even know an INTJ 5w4, and I’m obviously no expert, but it seems like this could be just a difference of manifestation of Fi? Type 4′s are definitely common in IxFP’s and types with Fi high in their stack, not to mention that Type 4 is almost literally the same exact definition of stereotypical Fi. I just wonder if maybe INTJ 5w4 has Fi that manifests into valuing individuality and being artistic and their own emotions, while INTJ 5w6 has Fi that manifests a lot more into reading the intentions of others and making decisions (because Fi is a judging function) based on what the INTJ thinks is an objective or trust-worthy source of information.

I’m definitely reading too much into things, but I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts on this or other theories about how the differences between INTJ 5w4/6 could correlate to functions?? I don’t know. Thank you for the question! Sorry I couldn’t help more!! - Ari

[mbti-thoughts]

Could you describe what an INFJ with a 2w3 is like?

Going off of experience from the couple that I know, I can honestly say that they’re some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. They’re so patient and understanding and just really open-minded and really just... kind? They’re the type of person that are perceptive enough to the point where they’ll know what’s wrong with you before you do, and they’re just literally everything that comes to mind when you think of a “good” person. I could probably go more in depth about the cognitive side of things but I’ll leave it at that for now. Thank you!

Myers-Briggs Types As Students In A University Classroom

INFJ - Sits in the front in the beginning of the year but then gradually moves towards the back as the semester progresses.

INTJ - Position in the class will be proportional to his or her interest in the subject and/or the professor.

ESTP - Depends on the type of the ESTP. Will do whatever benefits him or her. If it is a class where s/he needs a recommendation from the professor, will sit in the front and try to get the professor’s attention.

ESFP - Will sit with his or her friends, regardless of academic performance. May sit in the front or middle if he or she is very interested in subject, or feels that he or she has to get the professor’s attention for a good recommendation.

INFP - Sits in the back or middle and tries to pay attention as much as possible, and will ask friends and instructors for help if needed.

INTP - Will sit in the back, intently take notes, and approach the professor during office hours.

ESFJ - Will opt for smaller classes, but if he or she has to take a larger class then will sit in the middle, take good notes, and approach the professor after lectures.

ESTJ - Will do the same thing as the ESFJ but be more aggressive and take more initiative.

ENFJ - Will care more about the learning experience and will try to form a relationship with the professor and ask a lot of questions, if the professor is nice that is.

ENTJ - Makes sure that he or she just knows the subject enough to pass or get desired grade, because ENTJs are not really built for the classroom or academia.

ISFP - Will be sleeping in the back, regardless of academic performance.

ISTP - Will probably be ditching class half the time, even if it is his or her first semester. When he or she does show up, will sleep in the back. May get a very good grade in spite of all this.

ISFJ - Always sits as close to the front as possible. What else is there to do?

ISTJ - Will probably show up for every lecture, and be studious. Will not get a lot of attention unless she or he is already well known on campus.

ENFP - Will try to form a relationship with the professor and will try to prove oneself as good student if motivated enough and/or interested enough in the subject.

ENTP - Shows up for class only if he or she feels he or she will benefit from it. Tries to make friends and would love it if the professor uses a socratic method.

Note: This list is just for fun.
