Myers and Briggs have ruined me

This is an mbti blog for everyone. Run by an ENFP guy who thinks he has spare time. Always open to helping with figuring out your type and all other asks or messages, personal or otherwise. Some posts may be funny and purely stereotypical while others are more serious. Enneagram 7w6, Sx

How to Get a Date with the MBTI Types (in 4 easy steps)

DISCLAIMER: Results may vary.  You have been warned.  ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

ISFJ 1. make it seem like you don’t have time for relationships because you’re too busy saving the world 2. ask ISFJ how normal people even have time to eat 3. ask ISFJ if they’re free for a date because you need to be somewhere right now but you need help figuring out how to take care of yourself 4. ISFJ will meet you anytime at your convenience (so you better bring some stories about the orphans you’re saving)

INFJ 1. make yourself seem like damaged goods with a complicated backstory 2. ask INFJ what a normal family looks like 3. ask INFJ if they’re free for a date to psychoanalyze your relationship with your parents because you have no idea who you even are anymore 4. INFJ will meet you with open ears and a tissue box (so you better bring some childhood wounds)

ISFP 1. make yourself seem free-spirited and mysterious AF 2. ask ISFP if they know about your super obscure hobby 3. ask ISFP if they’re free for a date to discuss it because you need help figuring it out and you want a second opinion on it 4.

ENTJ 1. make yourself seem PERFECT AF 2. ask ENTJ about how they weigh pros and cons in an investment situation 3. ask ENTJ if they’re free for a date because one little date is a super low-investment which can lead to a very high reward ;) 4.

ESFJ 1. make it seem like you have your shit together 2. ask ESFJ how people always seem to have their shit together because you certainly don’t 3. ask ESFJ if they’re free for a date because you have trouble taking care of yourself since you’re so busy being successful 4.

ENTP will meet you on a whim (so you better come prepared with some strong arguments and points)

ENFJ 1. make yourself seem like you have a troubled past 2. ask ENFJ if they’ve ever wished they could go back in time to change their past 3. ask ENFJ if they’re free for a date because you want to try being more open to people this time around and ENFJ might be able to help 4.

MBTI  - Alternative Groups # 3

The Determined Planners - ENFJ, ENTJ, INFJ, INTJ

You built up a world of magic. Because your real life is tragic.

The Idealistic Dreamers - ENFP, ENTP, INFP, INTP

So this is my life. I am both happy and sad, and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.

The Realistic Thinkers - ESTP, ESTJ, ISTP, ISTJ

People will kill you. Over time. They will shave out every last morsel of fun in you with little, harmless sounding phrases that people use every day, like ‘’Be realistic’’.

The Fluctuating Apprentices - ESFP, ESFJ, ISFP, ISFJ 

I looked so happy on the outside, but I was a mess in the inside.

The Good Wife: Grace Florrick [INFP]

UNOFFICIAL TYPING BY: mbty

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Grace is constantly looking within herself, focusing on what she believes is right and wrong and whether herself or those around her are behaving in the right way, something that Grace reveals through her outward judgement of others. Fi is shown most clearly in Grace through her struggle with religion, and the commitment she makes to her beliefs and the determination she has to uphold these beliefs.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Grace’s seemingly idealistic stance and outlook on life is a direct result of her auxiliary Ne. Grace looks at the world, along with all its injustices and inequalities, and cannot seem to understand why such a world exists. This is where her Ne comes in, letting her see the best in people, offering up another, more positive point of view. Ne is also shown in Grace through her creativity and ability to tackle a task or problem from more than one direction.

Introverted Sensing (Si): Grace has a hard time adjusting to her new life as the child of a single mother and dealing with the effects of being the daughter of a politician caught up in a scandal. Grace finds solace in her old memories of belonging to a whole family and finds refuge in her religious community to create a new sense of family. Grace relies on her past experiences and beliefs in order to make sense of the world around her.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Grace doesn’t seem to place a great importance on organisation or planning, instead seeming more inclined to take action on a whim or feeling, which is shown through her thoughtless decision to get baptised in secret. 

Hope this helps!

“Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives, I’ll smash it with a hammer!”

Each MBTI Type At It’s Best

xNFx - Idealists

INFJ: Gives the extremely good advice that can manage to change your life or outlook on a problem. Extremely analytic and is quick to read people and their emotions and to react accordingly. Organisational skills are though the roof. Extremely charismatic and magnetic, makes everyone think about how peculiar and cool they are. Able to (to some extent) semi-accuratley play out how different choices will trigger different consequences.

ENFJ: Charisma is absurdly high, to the point were people who hate them start doubting why they are even hating. Always try to help people and (although not used much) know what to say or what to do to get people to do what they want. Always eager to give advice and guide their friends through rough environments. Becomes extremely analytical and more organises.

INFP: Filled with hope and dreams is able to illuminate and inspire many people live’s. their charisma level is off the charts and is very likely to be confused as a happy enfp. The INFP is extremely aware of his/her emotions and is surprisingly able to control them to some extent. Extremely creative, to the extent that it becomes absurd how many ideas they are able to conceive. Better organisational skills and better optimistic skills.

ENFP: Extremely excitable and funny (more than normal) makes you laugh every time he/she speaks and becomes way more thoughtful and deep when talking to other people. Also gives really good advice which may shock others. Extremely good at making other people how they could be better and is extremely optimistic. Emotionally, ENFP becomes way more stable and tolerates much more. Organisational skills go from extremely poor to average. Charisma is limitless, makes people who hate them, love them.

xNTx - Analysts comming next so stay tuned :)                 have a wonderful life :)

[yo-why-am-i-here]

contradictory mbti

INTP: Smart but naive ENTP: Energetic but lazy INTJ: Confident but insecure ENTJ: Accommodating but intolerant ISTJ: Modest but proud ESTJ: Novel but traditional ISFJ: Imaginative but grounded ESFJ: Generous but needy INFP: Timid but brave ENFP: Sociable but independent INFJ: Strong but fragile ENFJ: Accepting but judgmental ISTP: Stubborn but easygoing ESTP: People-orientated but insensitive ISFP: Idealistic but practical ESFP: Bold but sensitive

[mbtiandgifs]

What makes them feel uncomfortable and frustrated:

ENFP: They love dreams, possibilities, ideas and alternatives. Trying new things and taking on new projects excites them. Therefore, having someone belittling their ideas can be very disheartening and frustrating for them.

ISFJ: They thrive on routine and knowing what to expect at any given time. They are excellent planners who enjoy knowing how their week is going to unfold. A sudden change in plans without warning is therefore going to make them feel frustrated and uncomfortable.

ESFJ: Trolling. People who make statements or jokes for the sake of getting a reaction, angry or otherwise, can infuriate them. They see this kind of verbal manipulation as just another form of bullying and conflicts with their belief in showing kindness and respect to others. 

ENTJ: People trying to control them or telling them what to do. They are fiercely independent and like to be leaders and free thinkers. Usually they make better bosses than employees.

INTP: Someone demanding respect because of their status or position without having earned it. They don’t aim to be disrespectful, they just feel that respect and admiration need to be earned.

ISTP: Emotional overreactions. ISTPs keep their emotions on a tight leash, and are surprised when others don’t do the same. They don’t like it when people have outbursts that seem disproportionate to the problem and it can make them seriously question their respect for you.

ISTJ: Not following through on your word. They take promises rather serious. What’s so good about this is that the promise of an ISTJ often means something.

INTJ: Small talk or being constantly interrupted. Their Ni is what connects the dots of life and form insights into their goals, dreams and theories. Ni requires personal space and/or energy, therefore interruptions are frustrating.

INFP: They don’t like people who are insensitive and arrogant because of their Fi dom. They don’t like pretentious people or people who act as someone they’re not because of their Fi dom (Fi = everyone are equal/being true to yourself, be who you are, don’t fake anything).

ENTP: People who don’t take a stand in arguments. ENTPs usually likes to argue, but how can they argue if you’re trying to be all nice and diplomatic and refuse to take a stand?

ESTJ: Basically inconsistent people and unreliability. They do not think fondly of those who are late, lazy, don’t meet deadlines and so on. Neither do they hold much love in their hearts for those who give up without really trying.

ESTP: They like to fix problems, so people who rant and complain without wanting to find a solution frustrates them. ESTPs are great when you want a solution and not that great if you need emotional support.

INFJ: Condescension. Do not mistake their quiet, sensitive nature as a sign of weakness. They dislike being talked down to, patronized or condescended to.

ENFJ: They have a sixth sense for phony behavior and they can’t stand dishonesty. Their Fe percieves minor changes in body language that communicates dishonesty, so they often notice when you lie and they don’t like it.

ISFP: They are strong believers in being genuine and authentic. This makes them distance themselves from manipulation. Behavior used to manipulate or gain attention will irritate them.

ESFP: Making long term plans frustrates them. They want to think about now and let later deal with itself, they don’t know what they’re doing in two years- Having to plan it out right now is stressing them. To them, long term goals are less idealistic than short term goals.
