intp/isfj anon thank you! i read up about the functions and im still a little confused. my friend is in a stressful position rn and i met him while hes in this position so its still hard for me to tell bc i think his functions change or fluctuate if that happens? he’s always thinking of new scenarios of how things can get worse/better (he doesnt really act to make these scenarios come true however unless he absolutely has to) he also wishes things would go back to the way it was before he is in this position but he also looks to the future in hopes it will be better but i think he bases that future on what made him happy in the past even if he knows it wont be like that exactly. in general he wants to understand the feelings of others but it only really happens with people hes very close with so sometimes he can come off a little bit distant? he’s generally pretty reserved also if that helps and doesnt actively seek out others. sorry this is long but im very curious, thank you for helping!

From your description, I think I’d more consider INFP and ISTJ -- leaning towards ISTJ. 

But, considering that he’s in a stressful situation, right now may not be the best time to type him -- It might be better off put off to when he’s a halthier manifestation of whatever his type may be.

Do you enough about parks and rec to type any of the characters?? all i know is that ron is istj probably and leslie is a exfj

I’ve only seen the first two episodes and little bits of others.

Ron is definitely an ISTJ, Leslie an ENFJ. I think Tom is an ENFP and Andy is an ESFP. 

But I’ve not really seen enough to say with certainty.

could you type the continents if they were human? haha sorry if thats kinda weird

Hm, sure, yes.

Africa - ENFP

Antarctica - ISTJ

Asia - ENTP

Europe - ESTJ

North America - ENFJ

Oceania - ESFP

South America - ESFP

How do you get along with Si dom or Se dom people? I got one of my teachers into mbti recently and she's xNTJ and she clashes very often with students who are Se doms/auxes. She clashes less with Si users though, especially if they are Te doms. My brother is INTJ and he clashes with everyone generally but especially Se/Si doms/auxes.

I clash frequently with everyone, tbh.

With Se doms, we tend to fight, but it can usually be resolved fairly quickly. Sometimes without any apology, which is nice. We just go back to the way we were before.

With Si doms, we tend to fight very frequently, and they hold grudges, so I just shut the door in their face — My friendships with Si-doms is usually short lasting. I may get along better with an ISTJ than as ISFJ, simply because my tendency to prefer to not deal with emotions doesn’t get them angry.

My mother has aux Si and we do not get along. The thing where you collect your experience and trust their capacity to work out based on the past, kind of exasperates me because I’m future oriented, and its not likely for ENTJs to be fans of tradition for the sake of tradition. 

One of my queerplatonics is a Se dom - she’s an ESFP, and we obviously get along pretty well. We do have similar goals tho, but her present-wise orientation is usually helpful because it covers something I do not always have 100% in mind. 

ENTJs and ESFPs have the same functions in different orders (Te Ni Se Fi and Se Fi Te Ni), so when we get along we tend to boost each other. 

Personally, I’m not a fan of neither (with the exception of my ESFP), but I might prefer to work with Se than with Si. Just don’t make it an ESFJs (they’re Fe doms and Si auxs), we’re gonna fight.

Would an ISTJ make a good leader?

If they were so interested. Their Te-function allows them to have the efficiency to allow them to be a good leader, but their dominant Si-function may put them in lower levels.
