I can't decide if I'm an ESFP or an ESTP because I can't tell if I use Fi/Te or Ti/Fe! Can you make a post with their functions please?
Both of these type’s primary function is extroverted sensing, Se. This function is primarily concerned with what can be taken in through their five senses, looking at life to experience it and live in the moment. The Se users asks “What is right now and how can I experience it?”. They think in the moment, wanting to experience spontaneity and adventure. A lot of Se users enjoy sports, art, sensory experiences, crafting their appearances, driving fast, appreciating sex, and only learn by doing and working with their hands. They are more comfortable implementing plans or working with what is concrete than theorizing or planning in an abstract way. They prefer their facts to be clear and in front of them. They will notice changes in their environment and see that as a cue to act a certain way. They are generally spontaneous, adventurous, reckless, and think about what is going on in the present (instead of learning from the past or envisioning the future). They are thrill seekers, and look for what is novel and exciting in the environment around them.
The auxiliary function for ESTP’s is introverted thinking, Ti. ESTP’s prefer to perceive life, going along with the flow; however, when they are forced to make a decision they do so through this function. Introverted thinking seeks to understand the world of ideas, to make rational logic judgements in one’s mind. Ti seeks logic and understanding the world by taking the experiences and facts of the outer world and filtering them: is this logical? Does this make sense? How can I understand this? Once I have understood this, how can I classify it? It has a complicated internal framework of ideas and concepts that may or may not be utilized for outer plans. Ti is good at focusing on a single problem, figuring out what is wrong and then coming up with a plan to fix it. It constantly seeks understanding, taking ideas apart and playing with theories for the sole purpose of understanding them. When an ESTP turns inward, their Ti applies logic to a situation for them. They can identify logical flaws that their Se has observed in the world around them. They approach life through their Se, open to all experiences and seek life with a playful nature, and only after they have gained these experiences do they apply their logical Ti side.
The ESFP’s auxiliary function is introverted feeling, Fi. Introverted feeling is characterized by a deep, intense, private experience of emotions; private beliefs and values, and an unwavering allegiance to these ideas. They may come across as private, closed-off emotionally (not in the fact that they are unemotional, but reluctant to share their feelings), and hard to understand. They know what they value and want for their life, and feel happiest when they can follow these. They believe morality is something personal to each and every person, and they know their own sense of right and wrong. This means they are very interested in understanding themselves and cultivating a world of internal tastes, likes and dislikes, emotions, and beliefs. They deal with their emotions very independently and may see external expression of emotions as being unauthentic. They are independent and wish to understand themselves as an individual outside of society. They approach life from an emotional standpoint, so they are drawn to sympathizing and helping others, as well as finding modes of self-expression. They primarily approach the world in order to enjoy and experience it, and are less comfortable making internal judgements. However, when they do, ESFP’s use introverted feeling to do so. They will have an accurate picture of themselves, understanding how they feel and what they believe in. They believe morality is something personal to each and every person, and they know their own sense of right and wrong.
The ESTP’s tertiary function is extroverted feeling, Fe. Extroverted feeling is a function that seeks harmony, that makes social judgements based off what the group, or those around them value. They gauge the emotions and values of those around them, making them able to develop a connection with others. Their independent nature from their Se and Ti takes precedence over their desire to make those around them happy or conform to others’ behavior. However, they do have a desire to be socially validated and to receive support and affirmation from those around them. While they can value time by themselves more than other extroverted types, they still enjoy engaging with others in the public sector.
The ESFP’s tertiary function is extroverted thinking, Te. Extroverted thinking has to do with setting clear goals, working out organized ideas of what needs to be done, and enacting these plans into action. It likes the world around them to be organized. Te wants to collect facts from the outside world and sort through information and apply them in some practical manner. ESFP’s can understand flaws in the world around them, and want to understand what can actually be improved on. After they have generated a series of possibilities, sort through what is in line with their morals, they think about how to actually implement those ideas and which ones are even possible.
Both type’s inferior function is introverted intuition, Ni. This means, in general, ESFP’s are uncomfortable using this function. However, if they do utilize it, it may be in an unhealthy or overindulgent manner (for example, in times of stress or discord). In general, ESFP’s do not think of the future implications of their actions, instead choosing to live their lives in the moment. They may generally be bored with abstract, deep theories and symbols. However, they may also have a deep desire to be seen as profound (discussing various political and religious ideologies), force fit their life into a singular plan, etc. They may withdraw, becoming quiet and thoughtful, look towards the future with apprehension and fantasize about impending disasters, and interpret harmless comments or actions as personal slights against them.
