At least in theory, INTPs are twice cursed by a lack of both Te and Se...it is the latter that might be the real culprit. INTJs have both in their conscious stack and so have much more psychic energy from which to work. Finally, Fe in INTP is rational, it is just not used very well...short of a...

ENFPs are often quirky, empowering, emotional, and embracing story-tellers who read people well (Ne-Fi). Fi is the stuff from which good artistry can spring forth. Si would help with learning from past mistakes, namely comparing and contrasting the present with the past if they can keep Ne from...

INFP...No study, I just could not resist picking at the assumption, being that Ti is eighth for INFP...theoretically speaking of course. Dario Nardi and a few others have CF tests, but the scale they use is too arbitrary in my opinion to be very accurate. A subjective scale of 1 to 5 can be off...

It was unabashed braggadocio iirc...which I considered unfounded, and for that matter rather untethered from existing CF theory. I was just curious not just for the perspective offered by Ti-doms here, but also of those not Ti-dom who have a good grasp on theory. Believe me...I have just a had a...

And that is my biggest peeve...getting accurate definitions, because until you can define accurately, you cannot surmise accurately. Getting to grips with good definitions of Ni is particularly vexing, even as an Ni-dom. Regardless of nebulous definitions for Ti, an INFP has no reason to value...

Well I now consider myself pawned!;)

Well I have been a competitive cyclist for over 25 years (mostly indoor training) and my job requires a fair bit of Se monitoring. Even so, I would say no...Se distractions bug me, excessive or flooding details bug me, especially when I'm obsessed with understanding something. I find myself...

"Define better"...That was my comeback, to which I received no reply. I think the assumption was that Ti bestows that qualitative superiority you mentioned.

I welcome the discussion and YES this is a serious query...I'm INFJ fyi.

To make an analogy, I could compare a Ti-dominant user in this debate to a chess grandmaster. Most prodigies start the game at 3-5 years of age. A Ti-dominant user would have being using Ti even earlier than this and be more hard-wired as a result. Long story short? A prodigy playing someone who...

Chess is pretty much THE obsession right now...but with a big tournament goal in mind for next year ($10,000). Since I live and work alone, I can study/play 24 hours a day if I like...and to win next year will require some serious "deliberate practice" over the next 15 months. Competitive...

Chess for you my friend...both art and science...logic and creativity conflated in ways that have the power to make men/women happy. You have to be half monk and half hit-man. Board positions are relative and dynamic, morphing psychotically between logical consistency and tactical/combinatorial...

INFP, judging by the information available on her and the plot summary.

INFJ...as I am...otherwise probably INTP. I cannot imagine not having at least some degree of Fe.

The Forer Effect in "full effect". How rampant is this for introductory MBTI test takers?

It would also appear that Harris has a tiny problem with the 1st Amendment:“I hope to show that the very idea of religious tolerance—born of the notion that every human being should be free to believe whatever he wants about God—is one of the principle forces driving us towards the abyss”...

If you watch Harris against Ben Affleck (ENFJ), you really get to see what Fe looks like up close. An NF Idealist who is absolutely enraged by what Harris is disseminating about Islam. Affleck could not contain his contempt, especially with Harris' not so subtle insinuation that Liberals have...

"Our world is driven by religious doctrines that all educated people should condemn." “The Moral Landscape: Why Science should shape morality." Two Fi worldview examples. In the first, he is saying that "his" view should be shared by all "educated" people. In the second he is saying that...

From interviews of both, I can definitely see more Fe in the body language/facial expressions of Chomsky. The 1969 interview with Buckley makes me think he is indeed INTP. He seemed keen on getting Buckley to clarify and qualify his statements...kept insisting on accurate definitions and context...

As an INFJ/4w5 sp/sx, I don't see much Fe as well...definitely comfortable with confrontation...cool as a cucumber. Aversion to confrontation is a hallmark of INFJ. For myself, there is no way in hell I would be that cool under fire and definitely not over three hours. At some point, my...

The biggest thing that attracts me to INTP is Ti...and how it manifests itself in the dominant vs. tertiary positions. Ni and Ti working together has enough depth to get to the center of anything if the impetus is sufficiently relentless...but therein lies the rub for an INFJ. With Ti in...

Yeah...INFJ...more Ti than Fe these days, as I am pretty reclusive. 36 years of alone time...more Chess time than my 9 years of total SO relationship time. So Ti might be drawing nearer to Fe. I found a nice depiction of the four stages of Ti...from dominant to inferior. Pretty cool, you might...

It might also indicate worst-case scenarios or paranoia.

Ni-Se is what I meant yes. Curiously, I have trouble with clutter, especially in a bathroom. I can have "organized" clutter in my room though. It may be more to do with my mother, who always kept things in order and would rail if they were not. She was constantly cleaning and putting things...

Can you see your ESTJ at Enneagram 5? How can that type be mistaken for E5, unless they are crippled psychologically ... as you mention.

Oh man...Ne-Fi, in the absence of a strong judging function, self-typing is definitely :storks:

Ditto for Se vs. Ni. I think there is an aphorism that goes: "No matter where you go, there you are." I think that applies here. I see the functions in mostly the same way, namely: adult, adolescent, child and infant. I don't know how long you have been studying the cognitive functions but I am...

Hitler wasn't so much concerned with ruling the world as he was with removing all traces of Jewry from it. He was on a divine/messianic mission of God and the World: "If the German nation loses this war, that will prove it was unworthy of me!" It also has a morbid romantic/Shakespearean element...

As an INFJ, I have always had an aversion to real hate. I just cannot hold on to it for very long, let alone the irrational hate of the kind that Hitler displayed toward Jews. I came across a personal blog, seemingly written by an INFP, which makes a very logical/rational argument for Hitler...

Wow...another juicy little morsel to stow away for later...I must confess a modicum of delirium which accompanies new information that pertains to an area of study.;)

Wow...I guess INFP can be Enneagram 8 after all?

As an INFJ, slightly over 40, the weirdest thing is how Ti has become more pronounced. I just feel smarter than I remember in my younger years, especially as I end my Bachelor's in IT next week. I can spend the whole day immersed in something but then I will have episodes where I just want to...

Actually it has perverse, pernicious brain-melting capability, especially when you start thinking that INFP's and INFJ's can be type 8 on the Enneagram. Now I could be wrong, but it seems like the type of stretch one would experience inside a Schwarzschild radius. Te/Se dom should not be...

Well said...as an INFJ in the grips of Ti, the experience is disorienting. For myself, I will pace back and forth if I am really pressed for an immediate solution to a crisis. However, even when a solution is not needed immediately, I just feel like I am in quicksand where time is concerned...it...

For me it means the entire season four of Twilight Zone in one day. The other Se outlet is competitive cycling, although 98% of my training takes place on an indoor trainer, with a laptop and YouTube at arm's length for audio and video sublimation.

INFP and ENFP might be more problematically pervasive due to Ne-Fi and Fi-Ne. Many simply don't like the type descriptions associated with their type. ENFP's in particular have this fabulously fiendish and fatuous fetish for type 4w5/5w4. INFP mistyping as INFJ is even more prevalent. If you...
