Type me (and be honest)

[QuickTwist]

I'm an ISFP. I think logically, but I also make a lot of guesses and assume a lot of things because I am also under the assumption that I will just "get it" with a little bit of information. I'm right more often than I am wrong, but I am wrong a decent amount. I am an intuitive thinker, meaning my subconscious does most of the heavy lifting. I'm also a pretty deep feeler and can't tell if its from traumatic events happening early in my life that cause me to feel things strongly or if I was conditioned to think logically.

Go 'head. Type me. I have more to say, but can't be arsed to say it without someone asking me about it.

Can't say I am honest or not honest about typing people because honesty has to do with intention not understanding concepts such as functions which I have to know first. It's like sports, you can't fake your skills but you can say you do not put your whole heart into it. I substitute my Feeling with Thinking when I type. And my Ne.

Ichigo Kurosaki is ISFP.

Currently this is my methodology for typing people.

Spoiler

Ni - Convergence
Ne - Association

Si - Immersion
Se - Sensuality

Fi - Will Power
Fe - Selflessness

Ti - Delineation
Te - Construction

I like your summary of the CF. By that I would say I Have Se, Fi, Ne, Ti and not sure what order I would put them in.

BTW, nice to see you around AK.

I don't have an issue with your self-typing. SFP seems to fit you the most reasonably, from seeing you here and elsewhere. But you seem to have figured that out.

I lean towards I (versus E) based on your posting style, compared to other ISFPs and ESFPs I've seen post online; but I'm less comfortable in that facet than the rest.

Can I pick your brain Jenny? You mentioned I vs. E. As far as I can remember I have been much more withdrawn than expressive in my delivery of communication. I remember when I was in Kindergarden I was in the school play (that I was forced to be in) and I believe there is a video floating around at our house somewhere that shows that I was not at all feeling the material for the play so I decided to sit down and take off my shoes because my feet were hot. With that said, I believe I am an introvert.

Getting back to the point, I'm interested in how you can tell and introvert posting from an Extrovert. Like what exactly are you seeing that lets you know if someone is an introvert or an extrovert by posting style?

 

[QuickTwist]

As far as this thread goes (and my posting on this forum in general) I'm going to do my best to not be tied down by what I would otherwise feel the need to be randomly spontaneous in how/what I respond to and the tied perception of my wanting to fit in here while finding the need to be a bit reckless from what I would otherwise feel to be topics that are a bit lacking so to speak. It will take practice, but one thing I will try to offer this community is giving my earnest perspective on things. This may be a bit of a different perspective that people may be use to here, but know it comes from someone who has lived a little.

That would be impossible. The best way to understand your own type is to take a variety of tests and read the descriptions. The methodologies for each test differs so educationally guessing with your own experiences as a guideline is only, pretty much, the only way.

As for your own type, the descriptions for an ISFP might match yours, considering what I remember of your posting history. But then we'd have to look at the function orders and see if they make sense. Personally I've scored ISFP before, same with INTJ, ENTP, INFP and INTP.

Again there's no way you can tell who's an extravert or an introvert from their posting style. It's the internet after all, what you pen is not always your own person in the flesh.

Impossible is a strong word...

I'm an 8w9, 6w5 (phobic), 4w5 FWIW (I believe all three are reactionary types)

describe what you are remembering from my posting history so I can get a tell of if we are on the same page or not.

I Type as INTP, usually.

 

[TheManBeyond]

you have Fi and Se, i would say you are an ISFP, most likely

 

[Inquisitor]

Why would you think you are not INTP then?

 

[QuickTwist]

Why would you think you are not INTP then?

Because people here seem to think I am not one. That's pretty much exactly how I drew the conclusion that I was ISFP. I went elsewhere and they all think I'm ISFP as well so I'm just going to roll with it for now.

Have you tried this one:

Personality Junkie

or this one:

Celebrity Types

Based on the threads you've started, you seem to have had a very difficult time typing yourself. Not a criticism at all just observing your thread titles. I would never trust other people's opinions of my type if they hadn't actually met me and interacted with me in person, not to mention the fact that almost everyone on these forums is fairly poorly-informed and not a professional. If you're that confused about it, thought about going to see a professional about this? The MBTI referral network can be a good place to start. I wouldn't go with anyone who doesn't have PhD in psychology and doesn't have much experience administering psych tests. Taking the Big Five can also be a good alternative since it correlates closely with the MBTI and you can get an indirect type that way. Obviously reading Psychological Types, Lectures on Jung's Typology, and Van der Hoop can be very helpful as well. I understand if you can't be bothered, but that's really the best way to go about this in my opinion.

I've taken an official MBTI test and take a guess of what I got? I said I type as INTP and I do.

Haven't read 'Psychological Types' or other CF writings other than a basic rundown of what they are in a nutshell.

It's a matter of how much focus manifests itself (you can figure out what that means yourself if you are familiar with introverted versus extroverted behavior, or the tendency to range broad vs deep)... but it's only an inclination versus a hard marker and life-observation is far more useful than a collection of online posts in that regard, which is exactly why I did not commit to the I/E factor.

Yeah, I don't doubt you typed as INTP on the MBTI...different personality tests can sometimes give differing results though and those I mentioned above are pretty good. Not invalidating the idea that you are an ISFP BTW. You very well could be but there's no way for me to know just based on reading your posts. FWIW, seeking the advice of a professional is something I have done, and that's why I suggested it. I have taken several supervised psych tests (WAIS IV, TAT, PAI, Rorschach) and it was very valuable, and I also took the MBTI with an expert as well.

Before I read those books, I also thought a quick "rundown" was sufficient, but I was very wrong. Turns out reading them in their entirety is indispensable to understanding the subject. Type descriptions are inadequate.

I would also like to consult with a Jungian analyst at one point:

IAAP

 

[QuickTwist]

I took the first test so far. I had quite a hard time with questions 12, 23, 27, 32 and 34

I scored 80, 60, 40 60.

Thanks for explaining. Didn't get the full picture, but I'm glad you explained your perspective.

What does a jungian analyst do and how can they help you?

 

[Inquisitor]

I scored 80, 60, 40 60.

What result does this give? Been a while since I took that one.

EDIT: That's INTP.

What does a jungian analyst do and how can they help you?

Basically they're just clinical psychologists/psychiatrists/social workers that have some training in analytical psychology. I'm sure you can find out more on that website or just do a google search if you want. I saw a psychoanalyst for a while in college (parents forced me) and that was helpful to a certain extent. I wasn't really ready for it at the time though so there was some inner resistance to it. Psychoanalysis is mostly Freud's domain though.

There are various things I remember about you but part of it was during a crisis you were having so I am not sure what I can use to type you.

You are generally light hearted and you are not very critical although you may feel that you are a little at times. You seem to want to help people out encouragement, connecting, or just offering advice.

You appear to care deeply about other people but also somehow you are keeping your distance. You may not express your feelings but not because you don't know how but because you don't want to step on toes or draw attention to yourself.

You seem to feel ignored, forgotten, or that people just don't seem to return the same concern you have for them back at you and this would obviously be bothersome. Since you are not one to just be direct and confrontational with the people around you seem to hold it in until you want to burst.

I am trying not to psycho analyze people anymore so...


I agree with ISFP. BUT I hope you weren't hand holding my subconscious thought processes with little 'self typing' tidbits in the middle of various other threads. If that were the case I might have been misled.?!

Lol. I recently had a breakup and they said they didn't even miss me really... I've always been the guy who was just too shy/reserved to even care about being popular and my ability to have decent social skills has suffered because of it. I basically have all the awkwardness of a nerd without the smarts. I'm basically the guy who never found his clique in high school.

I'm not particularly good at misleading people.
