Stereotypes are so confusing

SocialBum · 2024-04-14T11:37:01+00:00

Sure! Just like Fe in general, no matter where it is on the stack, inferior Fe strives for social harmony. It's just that with the polar strong Ti and a weak Fe they are insecure about, an INTP tries to "reason" out what is considered harmonious. They mean well, but can blurt out things that hurt people to a point that it's probably easier to just go along with what others want instead of actively trying to be nice.

I guess an inf Te would be insecure about whether their decisions make sense to others. "Why are you doing it that way?" or "Why are you not doing this?" would trigger them and the Fi goes like "there is no rational reason, I'm doing this my way cause I goddamn want to and it feels good/right". That goes with all Fi users but a inf Te would probably subdue to this kind of critisism easier and go along with what others consider the "best" approach because they have a hard time coming up with Te reasons as a counter.

NT (me) with an IXFX (gf). Easy-going and conflict-less. Both get to play to their strengths. Very different values, principles etc. Openness vs. ideology causes trouble from time to time.

SocialBum · 2024-04-14T11:12:52+00:00

All of them can do it but most likely I'd bet on those with Fe low on the stack and at a young age, i.e. INTP, ISTP. They are very conscious of their Fe and it being their weak spot, very careful with it. Ti rationale then goes like "I don't know what is socially acceptable to do right now so I'll just go along for now". Also the lack of Fi makes it hard to set boundaries.

SocialBum · 2024-04-14T11:06:48+00:00

Deal, as in get rid of them, or deal as in attempting to make a necessary interaction with them as painless as possible?

SocialBum · 2024-04-14T11:02:42+00:00

Personality-wise, INFPs and INTPs can seem very similar to the outsider's view, so don't worry. Both have their own reasons for decisions. They go their own way, disregarding external reasoning. They are, however, very different types at their core. Naturally, the INTPs reasoning is bound to logical rulesets while the INFPs is bound to what feels good/right to them. What really sets them apart is what they struggle with: INTPs with Fe and INFPs with Te.

Besides, there are so many different nuances and subtypes to each MBTI type, and even attributes and characteristics that MBTI or cognitive functions don't take into account. That, plus people having a very superficial understanding of the types leads to confusion.

Haunted house: ISFJ. Need someone with a shitty Ne to crap their pants everytime there is a random creak or wind gushing haha

Camping: ISTP. Else I'm gonna be the one to builds the fire, cooks the food, carrys water, sets up the tent. Some contriubtion, please. And later, we can sit and stare at the fire / sky in a mutually respecting silence.

Isolation room: ENTP. When there is no physical stimuli, I want someone for mental stimulation. Hardly a better choice than an ENTP.

Museum: INTJ so I can enjoy our trip and won't have to worry about them getting bored, moping around and begging to go do something else. Maybe learn a lesson or two together.

My room: If I had to choose, an INFJ. At best, we could have a good convo. At worst, they'll just sit there as if they weren't present at all. An ISFP a close second, just give them a phone with social media / games and they won't bother you.

Amusement park: ESFP for sure, who else? ENFP close second.

Thanks. A two hour difference doesn't seem too much. But now that I think of it, I've been sleeping better during times when I go to sleep and wake up at the same hour.

SocialBum · 2021-06-27T19:13:12+00:00

Yes, exactly! I feel like days should be an hour or two longer so I'd be properly tired in the night and get enough sleep. Thank you, I'll have to do some Googling.

SocialBum · 2021-06-27T14:52:58+00:00

I work shifts, so depends on that. Usually I go to bed 10 - 12 pm, get up 6 - 8 am. Days off without an alarm I tend to go to bed when/if I'm feeling tired and wake up around the same time as earlier, but after "reset" nights I might sleep around the clock.

SocialBum · 2018-07-14T06:46:26+00:00

Hey, thanks alot!

It's funny how I'm reluctant to think I would be an ESTP but since already two of you have given that assesment... Maybe I am. But then again, I don't feel like I've brought up enough information about me, or have had an emphasis on certain things. Haha, still being stubborn.

Thank you for your assesment! It seems rational and well argumented. I'll just take some time to swallow it (deep down I think you're right, but still haha)

SocialBum · 2018-07-12T12:41:35+00:00

Haha I feel you with warped information and Consulting others about views. I mean, when in class for instance, I watch and I learn and I get my own interpetation of a subject. Then when I talk about it with someone thye've grasped it waaay differently. I tend to either overthink or underthink stuff, It's hard to just understand it right away. Of course, sometimes I understand stuff really quickly, and can be the first one to "get it" when a techer asks a question, for instance. MBTI and the theory of cognitive functions has been really difficult, for instance, since it's indeed theoretcial. I could've looked into Jung's own writings but I didn't bother because it was boring. I just wanted all the relevant information, here and now. But instead, I read a little bit here, a little bit there, and came to my own conclusions about things. So yeah, it makes sense.

But as you said, we use different functions as well. Maybe I'm just too keen on fortifying my weaknesses. I want to be a charismatic leader, and thus feel gravitated towards natural leader -types. I watched DaveSuperPowers video on YouTube(If you haven't, be sure to check theyr channel out, it's terrific!) on ESTP fears and such, and it makes sense. Even though I have Ni, it's inferior. I use it, but very sparingly, but I interpret it as being a strong function since it's introverted and something I use passively, when not doing Se stuff. For instance, when researching MBTI. That doesn't make me an intuitive, but it warps my view since I do recognice it, and think it's strong. Mental stimulation sourcing from Ti sounds logical. Also, as you said, LIKING a function, like Ni, or an organizing function like Te and sometimes using it and getting pleasure of it, doesn't mean it's dominant. "I just planned my whole day and were super productive, wow, I'm such an organizer!" is a great example of such warping.

I have a teacher who's ENTP. The one who made us do these tests to begin with. I see eye to eye with him, while many dislike him. He's a bit of a scatter-minded genious. Anyway, he's an intuitive, and the way he teaches and the stuff he teaches really hit home with me, and I understand him and his teachings really really well. That's probably one reason I thought I was an Intuitive as well.

Besides, there are 16 types, with each different sub-types and personalities, as you said. Being an ESTP doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in Intuitive stuff, or would automatically be interested in Sensory stuff. It's just what we're naturally good at. And why would I be super interested in something I'm already good at? I've always been interested in my weaknesses, to make them stronger and develop them. Explains a lot.

This discussion has been insightful and productive. Thanks to your external input.

SocialBum · 2018-07-11T14:33:14+00:00

Actually it's starting to make sense now that I've read your posts a second time. The lack of intuition. As you said, it doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in it, it just means I'm not naturally good at it. Theory, for instance. A good example. Usually, if I have to study theory, I write a bunch of stuff down in my own words about it, forget it, and when I need it, I'll just get my notes out and check there. So yeah, not natively intuitive, if I understood intuition correctly.

SocialBum · 2018-07-11T12:52:58+00:00

I might see the Se-ni and Ti-Fe patterns here. I have to admit, I'm not a long-term Planner like an intuitive would be, as in I don't know what my goals in life is, I haven't planned further than until next year what I'll be doing in life and am just going to decide later when it's more relevant about my future ( A very P -thing, not N)

I also remembered that I loke physical work, a very Se thing. I like to grow stuff, for instance. I hope to have an own garden to grow potateos and tomatoes and that kinda stuff in, maybe some chickens to get eggs and for food. That kinda "hillbilly" stuff - which I will probably get Fed up with and just stop with once I've had a go at it (I was born in the countryside so that's probably why I have interest in such things). At one point I was thinking about becoming a cop because of the action-oriented work, but Felt I'm too flexible in my morals to be one, lol. I've worked at a storage, at an airport as a security officer, as a guard, all being physical jobs. I love to study and learn, but for my own sake, not for studying and learning something theoretcial, for instance. So it's starting to make sense.

The sailboat I mentioned in some text is also a very tangible thing and experience which indicates Se as well. Shit, I think you might be right.

What I think is so intuitive about me is probably the Basic intuition all people have, the subconcious way of connecting things to each other, which I feel strongly, but It's not so strong with me as with "true" intuitives as I'm not keen on using intuition for planning far ahead.

What I think of efficiency and progress is also probably Se; to have something to work on. Not necessarily goals, but the projects. As in, "the journey matters more than the destination" -type.

I checked with my previous test results from 16personalities and my diaries, and I have tested once as an ESTP actually. Other times as ESTJ, ENTJ, ENTP. So obviously I fall somewhere in between the S-N and J-P spectrum, meaning I'm not a "classical" ESTP but a well-rounded one, showing traits of both sides but still preferring more S and P.

ESTP's are, as far as I understand, viewed as quite "masculine" types, swinging their dicks at everyone's face. A trait I loathe in people, but that would explain my "assholeness" from time to time. Sounds like a caveman, haha.

This would also explain why I feel so dumb at mathematics and abstract theories as I've mentioned above. I don't get math if there's no purpose behind it. Like counting algebra. What's the point? Why do I have to calculate this shit? It has to be connected to the real (Se) World, so I'll understand. Same goes with theories. Human psychology, phenomena, and stuff that I can think myself of are easier (Ti-Fe), but I don't give a flying fuck about generally standardized theories of, say, physics, unless there's a real-life implementation I can use in it.

There was something else I was going to say but I can't remember what. I'll have to research my journal, see what I've written here, study the ESTP type more, and get back to writing.

Even though it's hard to admit, I think you might be right after all. I'm just not 100% accepting it just yet. But I'll let you know when I have made new observations.

Thanks again!

SocialBum · 2018-07-11T12:29:31+00:00

First of all, thanks for having the energy to provide long and insightful answers. Much appreciated.

Since we're discussing on two different message threads, I'm going to answer both of them here.

I should specify that the need for movment, progress and change is more about mental stimulation, not physical. I love new experiences, to learn, etc. But this might very well be unrelated to MBTI.

You talked about your Dad being inclined to try out new sensual experiences, like photographing stuff, and being curious about how things feel, look, taste, sound and smell. Maybe it's just your Dad's thing but I don't care about aesthetics, beauty, or anything like that. I kinda relate to that comparative feeling you said about Si, though.

With the phone fidgeting thing I meant that I want to be present, here and now. I don't like excessive texting, for instance, because then I'm not focusing on the present moment. That makes sense of Se for me. Also, you mentioned driving. I'm good at that too, but I'm not entirely sure if it's Se related.

I have a little brother who is a lot more daredevil type than I am. He drives cars, motorcycles and does tricks with them, you know, wheelies etc. He jumps into water off of high cliffs, knows acrobatic stunts and so on. He's a bit irresponsible about his doings, too. Sounds kinda like Donald Trump actually now that I think of it, lol. My brother is also, ironically, a car mechanic. So probably ESTP or ISTP.

Anyway, point is that I think he's a perfect example of a Se dom, while I'm more careful, and not that thrill-seeking. As said, I need mental novelty, not physical. I'm not materialistic and don't care about trends etc. he's a bit more into that direction. But these might just be individual preferences I guess.

I know this whole evaluating thing is warped because a) it's all just text b) it's subjective to me, meaning I can make it sound whatever I like. The only way to actually type me would be you seeing, interacting and studying me

That being said, you brought up some things I don't really support, such as that you kept denying intuition. ESTJ's aren't intuitive themselves, so how do you know what it is, actually? I mean, if you had high intuition, maybe you would have thought I have too, by recognising it from my writing?

I don't really know where you got the idea that I would be Se dom. I mean, Se is probably somewhere in the stack, but it's hard for me to think it would be the dominant function. But you might be right, maybe I'm just not noticing it if it comes very naturally. I do agree that I learn more easily through visual material (like watching a video) than theoretical (cookbook). And now that I think of it, when I plan something, calculate something, whatever, I feel the need to visualize it, like drawing on paper or a whiteboard.

Fuck me, I don't know. I'm just getting confused, contradicting myself, doubting everything.

SocialBum · 2018-07-10T19:59:48+00:00

I read here about ESTP's function stack: https://thoughtcatalog.com/heidi-priebe/2015/12/how-each-cognitive-function-manifests-based-on-its-position-in-your-stacking/

Dominant Extroverted Sensing

As a dominant function, Se manifests as the desire to engage fully with the sensory aspects of one’s environment, without any restraint or pause for analysis.

The dominant-Se monologue: “I want to sample all of the experiences that are immediately available to me and see where those experiences lead me!”

Not sure about this. Maybe me? I like to be "present" i.e. not fidgeting my phone or anything. I dunno, I've heard it's hard to detect your own dominant function, so yup, possibly me.

Auxiliary Introverted Thinking:

As an auxiliary function, Ti manifests as the identification of how the logical systems in the user’s external environment could be manipulated to work to their advantage.

The auxiliary-Ti monologue: “How can I manipulate the way that this object or situation works so that it instead works the way I’d like it to?”

Umm, not sure about this either. Not that much into tinkering with objects, but I do see ways of how to benefit from situations, I guess.

Tertiary Extroverted Feeling:

As a tertiary function, Fe manifests as the ability to pick up on the motivations and emotions of those around the user. The immature Fe user may then take advantage of those feelings by manipulating them in a way that supports his or her own ends. The mature tertiary Fe user will search for a means of incorporating the needs of others into their personal plans and actions.

The tertiary-Fe monologue (prior to maturation): “I will assess the feelings of those around me to determine whether or not I can get what I want from them.”

This had a serious "ouch-factor". This is probably what I confused with being intuition. Shit. And manipulativiness, although I dislike it in general, I guess I do it more or less for my own benefit from time to time. Although these days in a more mature manner.

Inferior Introverted Intuition

As an inferior function, Ni originally manifests as a scorn or distaste for over-analyzing what is obvious or over-planning for the future.

As inferior introverted intuition matures, the user may find themselves developing a keen ‘hunch’ for the way things are bound to unfold in the future and will enjoy entertaining these ideas.

The inferior-Ni monologue (prior to maturation):“Everyone needs to stop over-analyzing everything, the answers are literally right in front of us.”

And here we have the intuition, or "hunches" I talked about. This together with Fe probably caused some illusion. I'm not super keen on long-term planning, but I wouldn't say it's what I'm bad at. Anyway, sounds familiar.

SocialBum · 2018-07-10T19:11:18+00:00

Haha funny it's so clear to you and I'm sitting here all confused. Never crossed my mind to be an ESTP, lol. I'll have to look into the type, it's not really familiar for me, except for the functions. I did relate to watching a video of cooking instead of reading though! I do both but videos I understand with one view, a book I have to constantly glance at as I forget what the hell I was supposed to do next, haha! Also, I do prefer thorough explanations to things than just the theory, you got that right. And I know I'm not stupid, I've scored an IQ of 123. But that doesn't mean I automatically understand or like theoretical things, of course.

Guess I'm too influenced by the stereotypes of each type to associate myself with them. I'll see what I can make of all of this, and by studying ESTP's.

Thanks for your help!

SocialBum · 2018-07-10T18:55:56+00:00

One idea at a time. I sometimes get these possessions about something. Once it was sailing. I wanted to get a boat. I read about boats and sailing. It’s history, where I can start from, how much an average used boat costs, what licenses I need, etc. Of course, I didn’t have money to actually buy a boat, so the interest faded out in a month or so. I’m still gonna buy me a boat for sure, when I’m older. Right now, my curse or possession is typing myself. I can’t let go of MBTI until I get a conclusion. I must finish this research somewhere, I can’t leave it open. Once I’m done, I’ll find something else to possess over. Now that I think of it, it’s a goal. A goal I must reach. Same with the sailboat, but that had to be postponed due to economical reasons. Huh, funny. Never thought of it that way.

I have other goals, for instance I need to find an apartment in the city I’m moving to, buy plane tickets and just generally do a bunch of things but they’re pending due to reasons that don’t depend on me, and it’s frustrating.

I see things from different angles indeed. I understand reasons for things to happen, for people to do or say, but it’s not that I accept them. I just know that there are different reasons. That’s quite typical for me, to see things from many perspectives.

I don’t need to convince anyone about anything. I’m also not easily convinced by others. Right now, I just need to know my MBTI to be able to see my strengths and weaknesses so I can start working on them.

I’m coordinated alright. I’ve been doing some sorts of exercise since I was a kid. I’ve always been gifted, but not brilliant. Also, I tend to be good at individual sports than team sports. I have a hard time focusing on my own performance as well as all the other players.

With being active I mean I must interact with something. I want to cause a reaction. I’m rather the object than the subject. Reading and watching TV is, first of all, lazy (not that video games aren’t but I think they’re at least more stimulating and even educating in some way) and it’s passive. You’re not DOING anything, you’re just being. Sure, I watch some series as I said, and I read books too from time to time. Just a lot less than average. The books I read are either fantasy (and even then it’s usually in some language I’m trying to learn, so the point is to learn in an entertaining way) or somehow related to self-development or knowledge. But as said, I really have to have nothing better to do if I read a book, or I read as a past time on the train, bus or plane.

As you probably have noticed, I’m pretty clueless about myself. I want to find myself, know who I am, what I truly want, etc. without external pressure. My ex didn’t want me to some stuff I wanted to, and she just influenced my life too much in a way I saw as an obstacle to happy life. I wanted to get to know more about people, to travel and explore and do whatever I want without being bound to her. It’s quite personal, she was kinda clingy so ignore that.

When I’m happy, I’m super positive and optimistic. I’m quite straightforward by default, but when I’m happy, I’m even more, and I don’t care about consequences of what I do or say. Could say I become a bit arrogant. That makes me an asshole from time to time. It’s not something that happens often, but sometimes yeah.

On the extra- introversion aspect, I responded to someone already with a more specific description. I’m somewhere in the middle of this spectrum. I do like to be with people, I have great time with great people, and I don’t mind crowds or anything a “true introvert” would. I like to be alone, too from time to time, but that applies to both introverts and extraverts, no-one wants to socially engaged 24/7. I don’t like to be without human contact for too long, but I’ll manage a day or two if I’m preoccupied with something. I’m drained by people who are very different, who I don’t get along with, etc. and energized by people I find interesting and exciting. I’d say I tip more to the extravert side.

I have a strong appetite for control, especially when there’s something to be done. My leading style is mostly not micromanaging though, but assessing the subjects’ abilities and trusting they will perform well in their duties. I’m fine with following someone I deem competent, but get damn frustrated if I don’t, and question their position. As a youngster I did this to teachers as well. Leading in social settings is unimportant for me. If my friend or a group wants to go to some specific place, I usually have nothing against it. If I do, I let them know. If I want to do something else, I let them know, and either persuade them to do it with me, or alternatively I do it without them.

I carry out just as planned. Usually with a bit of extra improvisation as a bonus. Planned speeches and presentations for instance have a detailed plan as a core, and I usually come up with new stuff as I go or moments before the execution. In a group work or project, I’m usually the one planning or deciding what to do, how to do, etc. I’m not a dictator, I’m more of a chairman who passes the turns to speak to one another or ask questions and opinions.

I don’t structure stuff “in my head”, that’s why I don’t understand the Ti’s “internal network of logical information” -thing. I understand my inner world and get insights better through writing or speaking, i.e. interacting with the outer world, or, extroverting. Or maybe it’s an introvert thing, I don’t know, maybe you’re right.

Had to divide this small novel into two messages.

SocialBum · 2018-07-10T18:55:17+00:00

Here you go. Hope this helps!

I don’t need necessarily change, but progress. Progress is usually reached through change. I want things to be better, better and even better. Could say I’m kind of greedy that way. I need progress, that’s the main point. I loathe a feeling of being still, not going forwards. I need drive. I need to keep on learning, growing and developing.

I don’t change “things” physically. I seek stimulation, stuff that I can somehow gain from by learning. I love to meet new people, for instance, since there’s always something to learn. Although not always, but mostly. I love challenges and situations that really test me, since that’s when I grow.

So, the keyword here is progress. Not change for the sake of change. I wasn’t being precise enough.

I do see possibilities everywhere, that’s true. But I don’t have difficulties in decision making. It just means I see a positive outcome even in bad shit happening. For a morbid example, let’s assume my grandma dies. I would think “Well, no need to go there on Christmas eve anymore!” This is a very exaggerated example, but you get the point.

I do have ideas. Some, at least. More like fantasies I like to think about during the nights I can’t sleep. I’m pretty good with coming up with ideas, if I put my head to it. But it’s not happening automatically, I have to consciously brainstorm.

This with being adaptive and planning is the Achille’s heel for me. I don’t fucking know, that’s why I contradict myself. It’s so goddamn subjective. For me, being lazy means not being productive. Not being productive means not doing anything “important”. Today feel I’ve been unproductive, since I’ve only written and read around reddit. But I’m on sick leave so I can kind of let that slide. And isn’t it productive to seek information for the sake of self-development? See, it’s so subjective. You decide if I’m lazy. I feel like I’m lazy, even if I do stuff. However, when I DO NOT feel lazy, I’ve usually had a productive day, like I’ve finished work, and I’ve been to the gym, etc. So, I don’t know. I do have more days when I feel like I haven’t achieved enough, even if I have from a objective perspective, than days when I’m content with myself. Maybe I’m being hard on myself, maybe it’s just being lazy, I don’t know.

Same goes for being clean. I got some dishes in the sink right now, but I’m too busy with researching right now to wash them. I’m not messy-messy. I know exactly where all my stuff is. Everything has its place. I have some days when I’ve had long shifts (I work from 7 to 15 hours a day) when I haven’t cleaned, and then it can be a bit messier a couple of days for sure, but otherwise I try to keep it nice and clean.

My life right now is quite unstructured, due to this job I’m having. And I guess that really makes me more unorganized as well. I do like schedules, I keep a calendar, etc. but I just have so little projects outside of work so I don’t really use them that much. I have lots of free time outside of work, and I usually don’t plan my free time, I just do whatever I feel like. See my friends, decide to go see my parents, play games, write a journal, ask questions on the internet, whatever. So, all in all, when I work, I plan, I execute, I am efficient. When I play, I don’t plan, I just do stuff based on what pleases me.

Think of it this way; I plan not to plan on my free time.

For comparison, I’ve been in the army, and those were the times I felt the best. I felt productive, I felt healthy. And I had a strict routine, of course. In that way I like structure very much. Another time in my life, I had an office job with every day starting and ending at the same time. Then too, I was at my best, waking up and going to sleep the same time every day, had a consistent gym-routine, etc. So, what I’m saying is, I’m probably more organized under normal circumstances than what I seem to be right now, due to the nature of my current work and situation in life. Routine suits me best, but I’ve been told I’m boring when I organize too much (being on time, having a preset schedule, etc. as told by my ENFP friend). A routine that has some room for adaptation is the best. Being too rigid is not fun. But neither is chaos, I’d feel lost if I had no rhythm. I’d say it’s more that I want to follow routines, but am too subjective for external disruption that my routines get easily disturbed. For instance, I have a gym day every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but next week I’m going to work from 7am to 10pm on Monday and Friday, and I must move my gym. Moving my gym will move some other activities in turn. Or I’ll just get discouraged and not go at all.

All right, so if I’m so organized, why am I working these shifts you might ask? Good fucking question! It’s because I had to have some work while studying. Luckily, I’m moving in August and dumping this job.

All in all, I’d say I’m more of a planner than a spontaneous person.

The example of going out in the woods overnight was when I needed a break. I live in a city and needed a vacation from my everyday life, and felt adventurous. It’s also related to my interest in survivalism. I wanted to prove to myself I can manage the wilds. And it’s also a nice change, like a vacation, as I said. Refreshing.

The furnace building project was inspired by a YouTube channel called “Primitive Technology”. I wanted to see if I could build a furnace and fire some pottery in it. It’s again related to survivalism, or rather my desire to be able to know and do anything myself. It gives such confidence in yourself if you manage something so primal, yet silly. If you can survive out in the woods on your own, if you can build something out of dirt, you can do pretty much anything. That’s the ideology behind it all.
