Typing Tumblr

I would personally type Tumblr as a whole as INFP.

Why?

Cause it’s a pretty FiNe SiTe.

LMAO OMG YASSSSSSSSSSS YOU SLAY SO HARD TUMBLR USER SENSA-TION YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS GET IT *Sound of air horns going off*

But for real,

Fi: The typical Tumblr user has a strong sense of identity and of what they are passionate about and a Tumblr blog is a great way to let out these feelings. Whether your description is “nonbinary polysexual feminist in a queerplatonic relationship who loves fandoms more than they love xirself” and you post about social justice and fandoms or you’re more of a “Dallas. 21. Straight. Arizona.” type and you post pictures of palm trees and attractive people drinking ice coffees, there is a niche of Tumblr that you can identify yourself with. Speaking of Fi behavior, there is no shortage to posts reminding you to practice some form of self-care written by someone with a url like spaceflowerqueen or posts where someone with a url like aromanticobama demands a SIGNAL BOOST for a current issue that they feel strongly about.

Ne: There is a niche on Tumblr for everything. Aesthetic/photography, fandoms, social justice, porn, psychology, relationship shit, fitness, etc. Tumblr is not a website about one specific thing. This is how you get “Dallas. 21. Straight. Arizona.” types on the same website as “Kaelenn. 16. He/they. Plz read description before following” and “Marissa. 19 year old meme queen. Nutella and Chris Pine are my husbands.” types.

Si: Look at how many memes on here are based around non-current forms of media, specifically ones from users’ childhoods. Shrek, Smash Mouth, Drake and Josh, and old Spongebob episodes are some. While Tumblr is more of a Ne than a Si site, you can still find users’ pasts influencing their content.

Te: You’re not doing anything productive right now, I guarantee it. You could be doing something productive instead like getting some well-deserved sleep or making some internet content or doing household chores or getting home/school/professional work done. But nope. You’re on Tumblr browsing MBTI posts or maybe you’re just on your dashboard and you happened to see this post and decide to read it to see what it’s all about. MBTI isn’t even something that’s applicable to your daily life outside of typing other people for fun. Keep up this procrastination and society will destroy you eventually. Maybe not anytime soon, but society will destroy you.

[mr-entj-deactivated20170125]

Do you think a particular function can unhealthily result in a superiority complex? If so which and why? Also, your blog is addictive and I love it. Thanks!

Thanks. They all have equal potential to result in a superiority complex and to be obnoxious because people tend to be biased towards their own cognitive functions. Some random examples below.

Ne-doms (ENTP, ENFP) tend to think they’re the most creative.

Example: “I’m so brilliant and full of great ideas. You’re all peons put on this planet to do my bidding and to make my visions a reality. I don’t want to do any of the work, you all do the backbreaking labor for me.”

Ni-doms (INTJ, INFJ) tend tothink they’re the most wise.

Example: “Let me tell you how your plan/goal/relationship is doomed to fail for all the following reasons. I can’t believe you can’t see this coming. It’s going to happen. Trust me. Watch. See– there it is. I told you so.”

Te-doms (ENTJ, ESTJ) tend tothink they’re the most correct*.

Example: “My way is the best way. I’m getting the job done so we don’t need to discuss it any further and we don’t need your input. Sit down, shut up, and follow my lead.”

*I’m aware this sentence is grammatically incorrect– it’s deliberate.

Ti-doms (INTP, ISTP) tend tothink they’re the most intelligent.

Example: “Watch me tell you all the ways your solution is illogical then debate you in circles without contributing anything productive towards an alternate solution because everything in life is subjective and I can’t ever be sure anything is truly ‘correct’.”

Se-doms (ESTP, ESFP) tend tothink they’re the most interesting.

Example: “I’m cool, you’re all boring and need to learn to live in the moment. Seize the day. Travel. Explore. Be more like me. Even if I have no idea how to pay my rent at the end of the month or how I’m going to survive until the end of the week.”

Si-doms (ISTJ, ISFJ) tend to think they’re the most responsible.

Example: “I’m always bailing people out due to their own stupidity and shit hits the fan when I’m not around. I shouldn’t have to do this but I’m too tired to teach them how to be independent so let me just complain and keep doing what I’m doing.”

Fe-doms (ENFJ, ESFJ) tend tothink they’re the most righteous.

Example: “I’m always sacrificing my own happiness for other people because I’m selfless and good. I also know what’s best for everybody so it’s my responsibility to save everyone even if they’ve told me more than once to butt out of their business. And by more than once, I mean a dozen times. I’m sure they don’t mean it.”

Fi-doms (INFP, ISFP) tend to think they’re the most authentic.

Example: “Everyone is so materialistic and fake. Most of them don’t know what they want or who they are in life but I do so let me go around telling everyone that their life pursuits are empty, meaningless, and won’t make them happy.”

[felinesofnewyork]

“I’m kind of an introvert, but I don’t consider myself antisocial. I like to have a good time. It’s just that my idea of having a good time is watching other people have a good time. And preferably from somewhere they can’t really see me.”

- Boo, Astoria

The types when they have a crush

INTJ: Makes a detailed plan to get with their crush, never actually ends up bringing it into reality

INFJ: Imagines themselves and their crush as the leads of a romantic story where everything turns out happily ever after

ISFJ: Pines after their crush from afar, never makes any moves, gets very intimidated whenever the crush is around them

ISTJ: Doesn’t crush, waits until they meet someone who wants a relationship with them and then makes a move

ISTP: Hopes to attract their crush by being a mysterious and independent type, ends up being so mysterious and independent that no one has any idea how to approach them or if they have any friends or feelings

ISFP: Takes their crush to a quiet spot and gives them a 100% honest confession of their feelings

INFP: Vents their feelings about their crush to their best friends, eventually decides whether or not the pursuit is worth it and makes a move if the feelings are still there

INTP: Doesn’t know wtf to do, their internal monologue when they’re around their crush is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ENTP: Tries to woo their crush by emphasizing common interests, comes off as a total nerd, but the crush doesn’t mind cause ENTP totally owns their nerdiness

ENFP: Becomes friends with their crush, then spends what feels like an eternity in the friendzone cause they don’t have the cojones to make a fuckin move

ESFP: Befriends their crush, builds mutual attraction simply by existing, relationship ensues

ESTP: Starts conversations with their crush to get a feel of what their chances are and to try to impress them, waits until they get some alone time with them, then smoothly asks them out

ESTJ: Reels their crush in with a confident get-shit-done attitude, then makes an equally confident move that pays off

ESFJ: Thinks day and night about their crush and whether or not they like them back, secretly enjoys feeling like they’re a character in a teen drama

ENFJ: Plans out their future with their crush, then does their best to spend time with them as they wait for them to make a move

ENTJ: Befriends their crush, but blows their chances when they make a legitimate move cause their expression of attraction goes from 0-100 real quick and alienates the crush

[cognitive-exper-ti-se]

I just thought I’d share:

A trend that I have noticed among many ISTJs. It’s actually extremely fascinating.

When looping, ISTJs tend to become extremely immersed in ‘nerd culture’, or 'geek culture’, as it were, more specifically, fictional settings that take place in futuristic (usually space-centric) scenes.

This is because, when looping, they are very into Si-Fi.

INFP FRIENDS

The true friends of people with the INFP personality type tend to be few and far between, but those that make the cut are often friends for life. The challenge is the many dualities that this type harbors when it comes to being sociable – INFPs crave the depth of mutual human understanding, but tire easily in social situations; they are excellent at reading into others’ feelings and motivations, but are often unwilling to provide others the same insight into themselves – it’s as though INFPs like the idea of human contact, but not the reality of social contact.

How Poor Are They That Have Not Patience

In a lot of ways, this limits the potential pool of friends to other Diplomat (NF) types, who are able to pick up on the subtle clues left by their INFP friends, and who are more likely than not to enjoy something of a human enigma. A friendship with an ESTJ on the other hand, governed by social conventions and community participation as they are, would almost be a non-sequitur – though INFPs may find the idea of being paired with their opposite fascinating enough to outweigh the practical challenges to such a friendship.

To top it all off, ideas like networking and “the friend of my friend is my friend” hold little weight with INFPs. Friendships are earned on their own merit, by dint of the intuitive respect INFPs have for those with similar principles and values, rather than more practical alignments like those of coworkers. INFPs’ tendency to protect their sensitive inner cores and values from criticism, especially if they are on the more turbulent side of the spectrum, means that acquaintances will likely get nowhere near them without sustained and tactful effort.

But, if INFPs’ shields are properly navigated and they decide to open up and trust another person, a strong, stable friendship will ensue, marked by passionate support and idealism, subtle poetic wit, and a level of emotional insight that is hard to match. INFPs’ friends will be rewarded with calm, sensitivity and depth, and an ever-present desire to help, learn, and grow. But even the most confident and assertive INFPs will only be able to keep up this relaxed and present exterior for so long.

Even as friendships grow stronger and deeper, and friends are lulled into a sense of mutual understanding, INFPs’ enigmatic qualities will never truly vanish.

INFPs will always need to disappear for a while, removing themselves from others so they can re-center on their own minds and feelings. Often enough people with the INFP personality type will emerge from this time alone having come to some momentous decision that even their closest friends didn’t know was weighing on them, evading even the option of receiving the sort of support and advice they so readily give. Such is INFPs’ way, for better or for worse.
