xNFPs are some of the most popular types of people within this community, but the two types are often misunderstood. Primarily, INFPs are seen as “emotional crybabies” and ENFPs are seen as “overly-excited manic pixie girls”. In this post, I will mainly summarise the primary functions of both mbti types and also debunk misconceptions and stereotypes. Since my previous post became quite popular, I will debunk <all> function combinations in MBTI, and if I have time I will also go over the jungian combinations like IN(IF) (Ni-Fi, aka ISFP in loop), ET(EN) (Te-Ne), etc.

I am not sticking 100% to Jung’s own interpretations and I included some modern MBTI interpretations. I have not fully read Jung’s works and when I have, I will make posts talking about the types in detail (the book is like 988 pages, I ain’t reading all of that).

*ೃ༄Introverted Feeling*ೃ༄

Fi: Introverted feeling is a function focused primarily on subjective viewpoints in terms of emotions. Opposite to Te, which focuses on objectivity and the truth outside of their own viewpoints, Fi is determined to understand their personal perception of everything. Fi builds a personal, internal moral compass, one that does not necessarily align with external social values or group harmony. Fi is a judging function (in jungian), meaning it filters experiences through a personal lens of what feels right or wrong, good or bad, beautiful or ugly. Like Ti, which values internal logical consistency, Fi values internal moral consistency and makes decisions based on if the action aligns with their values and beliefs.

How it manifests: It is still a cognitive function related to thinking. Contrary to misconceptions, Fi is often not the “whiny emotionally expressive crybaby”. Fi, as described by Jung, is oftentimes very emotionally distant and has a hard time expressing their feelings. Fi is a rational type in jungian, meaning that the focus is on analyzing subjective values rather than <experiencing> said feelings. Generally, Fi users excel at empathizing on an individual and deep level, rather than a broad social one. Fi prioritizes individuality more than collectivism, making them rebels when their integrity is questioned. Fi usually makes a person who is oftentimes very sensitive to being misunderstood or being hurt. Introspective, deep, and philosophical, high Fi users are often very good at understanding who they are outside of societal expectations and norms.

Behaviors that can exist due to dominant Fi:

Reclusiveness, quietness, refusal to express and explain their feelings. Finds it hard to open up

Fells things deeply. Sentimental, poetic, and introspective. As a great understanding of why they feel a certain way

May appear stoic and unassuming on the outside. However, they have an intense inner emotional life

Can be self-oriented and biased when making decisions, can be stubborn at times and dogmatic with their viewpoints

Has a love for abstraction of emotions: ideas such as love, patronism, passion, loyalty, and pain are appealing

Attached to internal moral code. Indifference to socially accepted morals  / ethics

Dedicated to finding their true self and personal identity. Trusts their own intuition and conscience

*ೃ༄Extroverted Intuition*ೃ༄

Ne: Extroverted feeling is a function that values possibilities, abstract patterns, and exploration. Ne craves novelty and open-endness, neglecting the focus on reality or the current state of the world. Ne is a very scatterbrained function: it jumps from idea to idea, lacking focus on any particular idea. Ne is good at spotting hidden connections and spotting trends between abstract ideas. Overall, Ne is the function that generates “what ifs” by connecting dots. It takes one idea/information and generates dozens of ideas/concepts, like a funnel. Ne has a frustration against reality, wanting to break boundaries and seek things that are outside of their current capacities and circumstances. Hating the past and the present, Ne constantly dreams of a future that is not grounded. Ne is very opportunistic: it is a type that has an eye on potential ways the future can enroll.

How it manifests: Ne’s manifestation in behavior can be erratic. Oftentimes, people associate Ne dominants to be sporadic, scatter-brained, and talkative. This is not always true. But what is true is that this is not a very practical type. Ne users are not focused on “seeing the existing stable situation”, as Jung has said, but rather focused on the future, possibilities, and what could happen. Because Ne users are not rational types (leading with F or T), they are highly impractical, oftentimes excited for the future. The most visible manifestation of Ne is the habit of escapism aka. consistently making plans to escape reality. The other is having a dislike towards routines. What I mean is that Ne goes against Si, which tends to favor routines, predictability, and nostalgia. Ne constantly seeks for the new and novel. Adding onto the hatred for routines, Ne also hates restriction. Ne oftentimes makes a very adventurous person, interested in exploration and disliking those who are not open to such ideas.

Behaviors that can exist due to dominant Ne:

Oftentimes has a sanguine attitude towards life. Easily excited for the future, but oftentimes drops ideas coldly after feeling a burning passion towards it. Lacks the ability to commit to any particular idea or goal

Has issues with being concise or explaining their ideas in a concise way. Scatterbrained and random, that is their thinking style. A trivial habit is the tendency to write walls of text without breaking them into concise paragraphs that sort based on main ideas. 

Similar to above, Ne users do not know the difference between important and unimportant ideas. Likes the idea of all possibilities being open

Hates rules, regulation, and restriction

Has a liberal look towards life (not always political). Likes change and dislikes people who are attached to traditions and practicality

Curious, adventurous, and excited for what life can be like. Dreamy, out of touch, and dislikes the current reality

Enneagram 4 Subtypes Explained

Social 4 "Shame"

The social 4 looks to create connection with others through the exploration melancholy and brokenness. Unlike the other 4s this subtype looks to share their depth with others. Imo they subvert allot of the traditional notions of the E4. They aren't as withdrawn as the SX and Sp subtypes. And whole they do maintain a level of difference within they still look to fulfill that need for emotional depth with others. A tendency that pops with the So4 is the need to create that social circle while struggling to remain their own self. This subtype tend to express their difference through being an outsider or extremely sophisticated with unique tastes. Usually among to attract others while maintaining their boundary of eccentricity. They are hard to mistake as any other type in my opinion however they can look like the stereotype of a 3w4 (due to being pretentiousness) or a 9.

Characters: Anna Karenina, Mark Jefferson, Blue Diamond, Diane Nyguen, Lisa, Anne of Green Gables, Jin Kazaa and Catherine Meyer.

The Self Preservation 4 "Tenacity"

The Sp4 finds it self trying to mitigate their envy due to being a counter type. Usually this 4 is not looking to be different but rather to have a different type of life. As the counter type of 4 they dont overexposes their melancholy and rage but rather they tend to keep it to themselves. This 4 tries to find a different path in the world without following tradition or social expectations. They are a bit more idealistic with their pursuits choosing lifestyles, style or professional life. This subtype can look like a 6 (due to their calm and environment oriented thinking).

Characters: Elio Perlman, Rose DeWitt Bukater, Eleven, Belle, Sebastian, Wicked Witch, Violet Harmon and Susana Kaysen.

The Sexual 4 "Hate"

Probably the most well known 4. This subtype is the most expressive and "aggressive" about their sense of uniqueness. They are highly interested in creating a relationship with another that fulfills that bond of difference and uniqueness. They tend to be the most expressive of their envy. To the sexual 4 the most important thing is not to be mediocre. By this I mean that the 4s see everything that doesn't have emotional and personal depth is beneath them. While many texts describe them as aggressive id say they are closer to passionate. The SX4 interest and frustration find depth within interpersonal relationships leads them to look like enneagram 8s.

Characters: Kylo Ren, the phantom, Maleficent, Loki, Jason Todd, Helen Sharp, Lucille Sharpe and Zuko

K-Pop Demon Hunters Enneagram

Rumi - 1w2

At her core, Rumi is a perfectionist who does everything in her power to make sure things go as planned. She doesn’t want to be perceived as bad or immoral, which is a core value for type 1’s. However, with her wing, she does so in a more assertive way, choosing to play the savior rather than see how things play out and then react. This causes her to get upset when things go wrong, or when people see her as evil rather than a good person.

Zoey - 9w1

Zoey is very non-confrontational and does everything in her power to make everyone happy. She does this by trying to, in her own words, “play both sides” and tends to stray away from conflict. She often seems afraid of causing conflict and hurt feelings, and is constantly trying to please everyone, in whatever way she can. Her type 1 wing allows her to be accommodating to those around her, rather than assertive.

Mira - 4w3

Mira hates conformity and chooses to be herself no matter how others feel. Still, her biggest desire is to be loved for who she is, and to be in a family. She chooses to do this by performing and achieving success with the traits people shamed her for having. Her 3 wing causes her to seek external validation, often feeling hurt when others have lied or she doesn’t know if she can trust them.

Typing Licorice Cookie?

I am focused on MBTI as I said in my initial post about MBTI, but for this I'm actually including enneagram because I wrote this in the past and included it there. Going forward I likely will not include enneagram (except for other old analysis), but I MAY consider it.

Licorice is an INFP

(Also, I think I posted this same analysis somewhere else, that PDB website, but I deleted that account. If by some chance you saw that, this was not stolen or smth, I am just the same person)

Licorice Cookie very clearly leads with introverted feeling. Everything he does is linked to his own feelings and morals, what he believes he deserves, and how others' actions make him feel.

Licorice feels like he has been done a disservice by the rest of the world. He has been rejected despite his talents (or perceived talents) and his main goal is to prove that he is worthy of praise. This is highly characteristic of a 4w3 (I am unique and special, and I should be recognized for that!).

"From a young age, Licorice Cookie dreamed of becoming a wizard but never received the recognition he so rightfully deserved. Eventually, he turned to the forbidden arts of Black Magic." (A 4w3 would likely choose to be hated rather than loved if it means they can remain true to themselves. There is a difference between a desire to be loved and a desire to be respected)

He is highly emotional, but his style of communication has nothing to do with the feelings of the group. He communicates his plans with and seems to prefer enacting them with others, not alone. This is probably why he always has Bat-Cat and Schwarzwalder with him, because even if he doesn't allow them to provide real input, he has the opportunity to bounce his ideas off of them (he also needs the help and strength from Schwarzwalder). Fi is his dominant function because of how strong and significant to his personality it is, and Te is very low in his stack but still present.

Taking into account others' logical arguments: "... Err, I read it in a book! Every villain is supposed to have their own cool catch phrase!" Asks for the input of others: "Is it just me, or is he talking real funny?" (Hollyberry Kingdom, referring to Schwarzwalder) "So, that's that then. Time for the next step then: summoning the monsters of the Licorice Sea?" (frames this as a question, not a statement) General Te: (Talking about Dark Choco) "What else is new? He's always been like that! he betrayed his home. He ran away. Now he's doing the same thing to us!"

Te moments are subtle because Licorice's Te is inferior. Fi moments are very strong because his Fi is dominant.

Fi, expression of personal emotions: "Oh, really? Here's a thought. YOU ARE NOT OUR MASTER, OKAY? 'Do this, do that, blah blah blooey!'" (To Pomegranate, a character he actively resents)

Quite literally dominant Fi (I cannot see how you could argue otherwise): "What's wrong with crying?! If you want to cry, cry! The BTS Cookies told you to be true to yourself!" (said as his sprite suggests that he is crying)

Licorice does express some care for others, but, of course, that does not automatically mean he has Fe. He is so heavily focused on his own feelings that he must have Fi high in his stack.

When it comes to perceiving functions, some might argue that he seems more like a sensor, which is possible, but if he was a sensor, he would have to have introverted sensing. I cannot see extroverted sensing in Licorice Cookie at all. He does a very poor job of engaging with the physical environment. Not only is he clumsy, but his main style of attack is magic. Magic, in the CRK universe, is a mental skill (this is NOT to say that sensors cannot engage with a mental skill and intuitives cannot engage with a physical skill), and is usually used from afar. Licorice is also not very interested in the present moment. He is so fixated on what is happening next that he doesn't take the chance to appreciate what is happening in the moment. For example, in the Hollyberry Kingdom episodes, Bat-Cat and Schwarzwalder frequently point out what's around them in excitement. Bat-Cat in particular mentions food:

Bat-Cat: "Tasty... Looks tasty! Can we have a bite, just one!?"

Licorice: "Now's not the time for food! Have you forgotten about our mission?! We must infiltrate the Palace and snatch the Treasure as our Master ordered!"

(Grandberry Market, episode 10)

It takes a lot of convincing for Licorice to participate in the Hollyberry Kingdom's festivities because he cares a lot more about his ultimate goal of impressing DE. This is more future-oriented. I cannot think of any decisions Licorice makes that are based on the present.

HOWEVER, the past is important to Licorice. He dwells in the past and has a tendency to hold grudges for a VERY long time. His whole personality is being bitter. Sounds like an Fi-Si loop. Given that I would argue he is an INFP, Licorice has Fi, Ne, Si, Te.

Also: Inferior Te can show up as a fixation on productivity, which is often handled with business or control. This is textbook for Licorice and may show up more often because he is stressed.

Also, also: Given that Licorice knew there was no chance Dark Enchantress would ever give him the recognition he wants, he would likely leave the cookies of darkness. The only reason why he's still around is because he believes she is the only route to this recognition. Licorice almost pretends to be as loyal as he is to DE because he knows extreme loyalty will give him a better chance of being appreciated by her. Pomegranate Cookie is an example of a character who ACTUALLY looks up to DE and is truly loyal (likely because she has romantic feelings for her). My point? Licorice is VERY individualistic and independent. He is following DE because she will give him something he wants (so I do not think his loyalty is a good argument for 6w7).

Again, this is old, my method of explaining this would likely be different now, but since I already gave a close enough explanation, I figured I'd just put that here.

Hi! If you’re taking requests, Spike from Buffy the Vampire slayer for the mbti, zodiac, and enneagram?

Hi there, sweetie! I really hope that you like this a lot!

Spike's MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment Type

MBTI Type: ISFP [The Adventurer]

ISFP types need plenty of personal space. Though they enjoy building connections with people, they need alone time to think and recharge.

They are very observant, especially focusing on the details more than the overall view. They live in the present and tend to base decisions on what they can see right now.

Adventurers also prioritize emotion when making decisions. They prefer to follow what feels right.

They don’t like schedules, but instead prefer to keep their options open. They are adaptable, spontaneous, and like to challenge the need for strict rules.

Big Three: Aquarius Sun, Aries Moon and Scorpio Rising

Aquarius Sun: Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus, which makes them seek out unique ways to problem-solve and to approach life. They're known to be intellectual and innovative.

Aries Moon: Lunar Aries are known to be emotionally responsive and impulsive at times, as they lead with fiery passions over than logic or reason.

Scorpio Rising: Prone to turning heads, Scorpio ascendents ooze with magnetism and dynamism. They're not known to back away from a challenge. 

Enneagram Type: 4w3 [The Enthusiast]

Basic Fear: Four wing threes’ deepest fear is that they have no significance in the world. They tend to express this by frequently distinguishing themselves from the rest of the world.

Basic Desire: They desire uniqueness and personal identity. They long to be authentically different, which may lead them to intense bouts of creativity and self-expression.

Enthusiasts may defend themselves by unconsciously adapting characteristics of others to seem more authentic.

Moral Alignment Type: Chaotic Neutral [The Free Spirit]

Free from societal constraints, these characters prioritize their own freedom and make choices based on their whims.
