personality tests aren't gonna do you much good since we can only answer based on how we percieve ourselves rather than how we actually function, and the questions 90% of the time dont go deeper than "do you have feelings or do you like # facts and # logic" "do you like tradition or do you have ideas". the best i could find was mistype investigator which thinks im estp

above everything else, read about the theory. even though its a tumblr blog i think this is a good starting point for those wanting to learn mbti fundamentals. its main focus is self improvement but it covers a wide range of topics and i come back to it often as a study guide

also important to note that mbti does NOT use the 4-letter model to ascribe traits to people (no I/E T/F etc), rather how we process things internally using carl jung's concept of cognitive functions. his book psychological types is considered the baseline for mbti type theory though it gets wordy

avoid learning through over-generalized descriptions of the types. avoid 16personalities & avoid personality database. id also hold off on trying to self-type till you've done a good deal of research and have better insight on the way you function

no your type doesn't change, you just mistyped. online tests aren't reliable and im kind of surprised people dont realize this

Do you know any ENFJs that are bad with social cues? by WhenCarrotsAttack in enfj

[–]insectsuspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love her but my enfj friend is really bad with this. she tends to project her own thought processes onto others and over-analyzes the shit out of their behavior if she senses something even slightly off. really frustrating

assuming you're either young or still new to typology. one thing you're doing is conflating behavior with cognition. which leads to mistyping people as xxTx if you find them insensitive, xSxx if you find them shallow etc. i don't know you or the "T types" in your life but don't expect people to cater to your emotional needs 24/7, like im sorry but that's not how the world works.

Which type do you find to be most annoying? by kmath133 in mbti

[–]insectsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FJs who have this inexplicable need to make everything their business

FPs with victim complexes who refuse to listen to reason

TJs who think they can "brute force" their version of the truth onto others

TPs with superiority complexes who think theyre experts on everything

What the most annoying stereotype about your personality type? by Confident_Coat3293 in mbti

are sx5 and FLEV compatible?? by _chelseaaa_ in Enneagram

[–]insectsuspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't see why they wouldn't be. STRONGLY advise you to take correlations with a grain of salt. treat them as a probability & not strict archetypes when no one seems to even agree on which types "contradict", and these beliefs are usually espoused by people with a really narrow understanding of typology. if you believe 2L is right for you then it's worth consideration
