Rank all the N-types from best to worst.

[Cherry Cola]

In accordance with how much you like them on a personal level or how much you think they have to bring to the world. Or both. Not both at once.

Personal level:

1. INTP
2. INFP
3. ENTP
4. INFJ
5. INTJ
6. ENFP
7. ENTJ
8. ENFJ

Ability to give to the world:

1. INFJ
2. INTJ
3. INTP
4. INFP
5. ENTP
6. ENTJ
7. ENFP
8. ENFJ

This was much harder than doing the S-types lol.

 

[Black Rose]

Ability to give to the world:

How?
What is important to society?

 

[Cherry Cola]

Whatever you think is important!

Kind of hard to make the list. I usually get along with N types pretty well. This was easier with S types lol

[Minuend]

Those I'm more likely to get along with are probably INTPs, INTJs, ENFPs

INFP can be neutral or an annoyance.

INFJs and ENTPs seems more prone to manipulating and backstabbing. I find them unreliable

Not really met anyone I know for a certainty are ENFJs or ENTJs

Contribute to the world? Well, this will probably seem dismissive and offensive no matter how I write it, but I don't really buy into that concept. I guess I would have to be more of an idealist to make that work. Most people are just something I have to accept are there. Saying they can contribute something to the world just seems like telling someone that even if they can't fly, they can at least jump a little and that will be all awesome and stuff. I don't see myself as contributing either, in case that should be wrongly assumed.

 

[Black Rose]

Do vowels contribute more than consonants? Quantitatively yes but all letters must be arranged meaningfully or its just gibberish. At the level of type no ranks can denote contribution accept for the dynamics between cooperations of combinations of types. Age, Intelligence and self control contribute to roles. All roles are equally relative. Rank only happens at a personal level when an organization is formed and any type can adapt but also depends on the structure. Understanding people has importance but no type has a monopoly on that.

 

[Ex-User (9086)]

Relation-Wise
Best INTP, INFJ, ENFP, ENTP
Average or sometimes bad INFP, INTJ, ENFP
No idea ENTJ, ENFJ

Ease of realising their potential (I will only mention types I think I understand or have experienced)
Utmost ENTJ, INTJ
Situationally self-defeating INTP, ENTP
Self-Defeating INFP, ENFP

Self-defeating understood as ones personality not suited for achievement or strong commitment to profit.

Personally ones share of self-defeatism can be valuable, depending on perspective.

The world has changed a lot faster than the human genome. It makes sense that some types have more to contribute than others in this new world, the old balance is no more. Though of course you have to speculate when ranking the types in terms of usefulness. It also depends on what direction you want the world to go in.

In other words, it's just as subjective a thing as listing types by how much you enjoy their company on a personal level.

 

[Black Rose]

Technology and philosophy are the only reason for advancement so unless type depends on intelligence you cannot rank them.

The world moves towards greater intelligence and intelligence is not a type.

 

[Black Rose]

In other words, it's just as subjective a thing as listing types by how much you enjoy their company on a personal level.

Then rank would be relative to your type not a personal preference because type would be defined by an objective metric. Types are not individuals they are generalities. I cannot choose which type my type best interacts with, at best you are only gathering a statistical sample of the competence of peoples understanding of type.

You're making this more abstract than it has to be and losing me in the process :P

Or perhaps not, but in any case I'm afraid I don't quite follow.

 

[Black Rose]

By objective metric I mean statically differences. Types are different in relative comparison. A sample of people who are generally the same with weak preferences must be compared within that group but if its on the basis of the whole population of earth then you cannot be specific. Rank is a linear metric. Evolution is not linear. If you personally have trouble with specific types its because your sample of interactions do not reflect the whole of that type. So statically some type are better only if we gather the general attitude types have towards each other.

 

[wilsonwatson]

I find it funny that everyone's putting INTP on the top. Of course it makes sense, we're in an INTP forum, but still...it's kind of biased, but I suppose this is about all our personal biases anyway.

INTP
INTJ
ENTP
ENTJ
INFP
INFJ

[Cherry Cola]

Look, I think you're getting too hung up on listing them logically, no list can ever be perfectly logical! See it as mental exercise which might make you think of something you wouldn't have otherwise

Then again what you are doing now is mental exercise so nm lol.

Wilson: Notice how I put INFJ at the Top ^^

7. INFJ
8. ENFJ

The J feelers are often very manipulative and force me to run around fixing all their mistakes. The INFP's are emotional sob stories and often illogical. The ENTP's often force their way into your life going as far as taking over your computer and befriending themselves with your facebook account. The ENTJ's are at least useful and easy to control. ENFP's are adorable, INTJ's can keep up and INTP's while generally horrible at everything and over emotional are fun to be around if you tweak them and fix them.

Of course I have good relations with all there types (apart from ENFJ) it just depends on the person.

 

[Oddity]

What the fuck is the point of these lists if people don't provide explanations of why they think each items belongs in the order they placed it?

 

[Cherry Cola]

Well you still have to think when you create the lists. But if you don't want to do that you can just do them randomly. Maybe it would be better to have one thread for all lists. Like list whatever the fuck you want.

 

[Jennywocky]

Well, INFJ just got moved to the bottom of my list...!






j/k

 

[redbaron]

Short answer: All of them are shit and need culling.

Long answer:
1-2. ENTJ/INTP
3-4. ENFJ/ENFP
5-8. The rest

For both personal level and usefulness. T dominants are the most constructive and bullshit-free. Still they're so absorbed by whatever area/s they specialize in that they're basically inept neanderthals whenever they're required to engage in any social activity that requires interaction with anything that breathes.

EF's are prone to being moody, but they're open and easy to read. What you see is what you get. Still annoying though, as the other side of this is that you can't actually avoid them when they're angry. Better than that 11-year grudge the INFP/J has though.

The rest are just boring or irritating. T is aux too busy being edgy or abstract to actually be of any use, introverted F's are just as moody as their counterparts. Except they're introverts who bottle it up so it's like playing whack-a-mole every time you interact with them. Except some of the holes contain playful kittens while the other ones have dragons with a toothache. No thanks.

In the event they are actually friendly and enjoyable to be around, they're too vapid to be of any practical use for anything.

 

[Absurdity]

Finally a voice of reason.

 

[Oddity]

All of them are shit and need culling.

I think you are talking about SJs.

 

[The Gopher]

But then we would have to do SJ jobs! I say we nuke the lot or none at all.

I can't really rate my personal preference, since I don't feel convinced of any of my typings.

Your list alternates between NF and NT and all perceivers are at the top.

EDIT: Personally, I think INTPs are actually pretty cool. As are INFPs, INFJs, ENFPs, and ENTJs. INTJ is alright I guess.

EDIT2: There's also this insane pattern in the E and I, it's like two sets that read IEEI and then EIIE respectively.

What kind of cyborg are you?

it's like:

P>J

then F-dom above N-dom above T-dom

and T-aux above F-aux

a very dumb cyborg

 

[ddspada]

As far as my experience goes. My ranking of all types changes constantly, I'm fairly new to MBTI.

Personal:

1) ENFP - I've not met an ENFP who isn't tons of fun. They're bubbly and huggable.
2) INTP - Verbal sparring, Ne humor out the wazoo, sharing ideas, common interests.
3) INFJ - I think I can understand their motives, they usually understand mine.
4) ENFJ - Awesome when Fe isn't manipulative. Terrible when it is (sadly, this is more common in my experience).
5) ENTP - Somewhat hard to speak with in a satisfactory manner -- too easily distractable. ENTP professors are very enjoyable, however.
6) INFP - Allogical, often unable to explain their points of view (which I find fascinating). Easy for them to be emotional trainwrecks or veeeeery sensitive*.
7) INTJ - Fantastic to work with, but that's about it.
8) ENTJ - Bossy, often interrupt, dislike philosophical pondering.


*My current partner in crime is an INFP. He's said he cries upwards of an hour a week -- a video of a baby chick hatching out of its egg might make him cry with joy for a good fifteen minutes. I don't think I cry any more than maaaaaaaybe half an hour per year. Interestingly, he feels very happy with his life. Depression tests and psychologists' opinions say he's just fine.
He thoroughly enjoys the taste of meat, but became a half-vegetarian (he'll eat fish) due to heavy remorse for contributing to mistreatment of animals.
Other INFPs I've known exhibit, to different degrees, similar behaviours.
