I don't know about the debating, but you do seem a little more extraverted than other users here and don't seem to take life too seriously. Since ENTP's debate endlessly for fun rather than to achieve something, I wonder if the silly threads you set up are a sort of similar thing. Plus, although you don't show it, I'm fairly certain you Fe is a little stronger than most users here (you also once said you head a group to help people deal with addiction, which is clearly an Fe thing, but you don't like to show it.). And I don't get enough feeling in anything you write to say an F dom.

You're more Intuitive and I just get the impression of being smarter than you let on. And that thread about species of INTP-f seemed like the kind of bonkers sense of humour my ENTP son would come out with.

I still think I'm INTP. Every MBTI version I've taken says so. Idk much about typing people, maybe just myself. Maybe my forum behavior suggests ENTP, but irl INTP. But let's type me based on forum behaviour, I'm curious.

Am I wrong - Almost certainly. But what was the question?

I just haven't seen much of your Ti, I guess. I don't know. Some people seem obvious, others don't.

Who knows - I tend to talk more here so likely come across as more extraverted, when in reality the longest conversation I had today with anyone who wasn't one of my children was to explain my order at KFC, and I often end up looking like a stuttering idiot who can barely put a sentence together if I'm unprepared for an encounter. So I have no idea what you're line in RL.

Anyone that socialises on a forum is probably an introvert even if being on the internet makes them a bit more outspoken.

I think what Rixus meant to say was that CD's Pness is weak.

INTJ, for example:

Creeping Death said:
If there is unofficial mail addressed to any former occupants, it will still arrive at the address. Vacant houses can accumulate mail. "Official" mail (from banks, govt) can still arrive at the address if the former occupant hasn't changed their address (filled out address change form, told their bank, the dmv)

If the mailman knows the house is vacant, he may not look for the flag. I wonder why you'd mail from a vacant address. What's wrong with your current address? Even if you're not within a reasonable distance to the post office, surely there's got to be a mail drop box around you. Just put the address of the vacant place on the package and drop it in one of those.

The first paragraph is descriptive i.e. perception based, whereas the second is expressing judgements*, and they are extroverted judgements, and logical. The first paragraph is probably intuition rather than sensing, for whatever reason - like, deals with possibility/likelihood.

*well , the question nature isn't judgements per se, but imply a mindset of looking for reasoning

Rixus themselves is probably EXTP so could just be extrapolating similarities to mean you're a similar type to them.

I do think that your predisposition to bastardising popular concepts/memes is an extroverted tendency, where INTPs are more likely to present a more guarded or idealised face to their peers e.g. the way PhoenixRising/Shieru/Cherry Cola/Auburn would tend to do.

Their avatars are typically reflective of an inner sense of identification with the subject matter, whereby it represents an inner ideal or somehow encapsulates some core thing their inner being identifies with.

RB you sound so full of shit.

I agree though maybe? CD is kinda playful, trollish, avoids being taken seriously. While I expect an INTP to do this, I would expect to see that behaviour wrapped around a more serious outlook. I obv. haven't kept close tabs on errything CD says, but it seems like the proportion of srs bsns to posturing/fluff/messing is askew for what I would expect from an INTP?

I wouldn't even necessarily conclude ENTP either. That stuff is pretty cultural these days and not necessarily indicative of much at all. I partake and I'm libcuck af.

@CD
Obviously I'm commenting only at the level of a very loose gestalt. I could see you being any kind of XXTP pretty easily.

I thought the point of MBTI was to be full of shit but in this completely unfalsifiable system no one can prove you wrong and everything has the ability to be mysteriously valid despite that bullshit soundingness.

Correct me if I'm wrong someone please.

But you kind of just made my argument for me - INTP's do it but it isn't the defining trait, it's a side thing. Those who do it regularly are not likely to be INTP and if they are they're using a persona.

But you do think we do actually have an objective/absolute type, in like, reality, right rb?

RIGHT? :eek:

I admit I was probably FOS when I suggested it, but was just trying to explain CD's playful nature, that appears to me to hiding something deeper. Much as I think you do.

That's the second time weekend ENTP has been suggested. Unhealthy ENTP is entirely possible, but since I'm actually a lot more reclusive in RL and find extroversion to be quite draining, I stick with the INTP I always test as.

ESTP I would definitely say no to. I've met ESTP's and their Se is so glaring it's irritating, and Se I something I simply do not possess. Their thought processing is quite alien to me - they're all about stimulating Se, order and cleanliness; everything is about how it looks, tastes, feels and smells and they seem to be prone to more promiscuous behaviour than I. Relationships are about how physically attractive someone is, rather than who they are. They also seem to have multiple business ventures and it's all about making money and almost psychopathically leave a trail of damaged bodies in their wake.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? No one's ever commented on my typology before.

Strange how you use the plural - as if their is more than one of me. I mean, there almost was but my twin didn't make it to birth so as it stands there's just the one.

Think about it.
ENFP and ENTP both go full on Ne.
Discovering I am INFP I get Ne now.
Redbaron if definitely Te.
AND I think Rixus is Ti dom.

Just did a quick survey of some of your posts and ENTP sounds very likely.

To give an example, see this post: http://intpforum.com/showpost.php?p=568105&postcount=71

You start by describing an objective stimulus, and describing it in abstract terms, followed by a judgement concerning correlations. After the next quoted part you refer directly to the respective person, in an Fe manner. The section after this is a "reminder", followed by repeating the information as it was learned, suggesting Si. After this it seems quite likely that you progress into the unconscious functions, Ni/Te/Fi/Se, making it quite a good post.

I can see what you mean - and you are sort of right about my thought process. Take a piece of work I did last week that my boss had previously deemed impossible and commented on how good it was. The problem was to extract all information from our huge database system into an easy to use spreadsheet. Although this had been previously given up on, it was necessary to acquire a large contract I'd been working on.

First of all - I asked what did it need to do? What would this project need to be? And why had it failed before? Once I'd figured that out, I basically cracked my knuckles, extracted the numbers and made the maths work. Then prettied it up and made it easier to use, before checking it against previous figures to make sure it was accurate.

Along the way, there were several issues that arose because the maths behind something were unknown even to the creators of the system because the libraries were lost and the person who wrote the maths had left years ago. Each time, I thought, "what does it look like it does? How does it do that and what's the best method to achieve that given the answer I want and the tools available to me? Why did they go about it that way, and will understanding that make my method more accurate? Now, does it match up to previous figures?"

And voila - mission accomplished. Since I spend the most time in Ti, I assumed Ti-dom. And is there even a different process that would work? It seems the only sensible way to approach a problem - and they say INTP's can solve any problem given time.

I also thought thinking through problems in this sensible sequential order was how Ti is defined.

Redbaron if definitely Te.
AND I think Rixus is Ti dom.

I agree RB has a lot of Te.

What makes you think Ti-dom?

What makes you think Ti-dom?

Your logic process is internally consistent.

A Te dom like Red projects out into the world his experience which is evidenced by the outcome of events. Thinkings of what exists in reality and what does not. you seem to structure things as introverted by which you deconstruct a system of components to know why a component fits and retrodict the source / root cause. Te, on the other hand, is addictive. It constructs components, experiments with them and sees if it solves a problem. Te tries a shit ton of things until it finds one thing that works. Ti constructs a perfect structure that accounts for all known factors in the criteria for functioning. Because I have introverted feeling I operate in a similar fashion. Fe like Te tries everything until it finds what works. Fi is perfectionistic in feeling. Ne is divergent looking searching for any idea that fits. Ni creates one perfect idea (convergence). Si is about perfect knowledge. Se is about seeing all reality in front of you.

A Ne dom like CD (my current belief). Is board all the time so they constantly search for novelty. Ti being secondary and perfectionistic will latch onto perfect ideas rather than create them. Me, I will look for something that is perfect in feeling and novelty and collect it. ENFP's will not collect things. They will be so drawn by Ne that that will constantly be addicted to new Fi stuff they forget the old Fi stuff (resultant of inferior Si) INFP's remember the old Fi stuff but are poor in Te because of Fi perfection makes Te experimentation harder. ENTP's forget the old Ti stuff in search of new Ne stuff. You Rixus are Ti dom because you are perfectionist in thinking but not inferior in Si.

your link does not work

talking "about" another person type is not the same as unsolicitation.

it would be unsolicited if I insisted someone was one type and berated them about it.

I made that mistake when I "told" jenny what her type was but mild undirected speculation is not the same thing.

It doesn't work? Huh.

I meant it in the affective neutral sense. RB did not ask to have his type read here, and even if he did it really should be its own thread. I'm not saying you were harassing him or whatever. I don't speak as to whether RB appreciates your read, though I have called him a Te-lord before and neither he nor his lurvly missus agreed.

The reason I think I am INFP is because Rixus gave me a good description of my behavior. He did the same for CD and is why he made this thread. Neither of us asked him and it happened in the IQ threads and my own thread. So I am guessing that it is really not about people guessing other people's type but on your gut feeling that red would not like what I am doing because he thinks MBTI is BS whereas the others do not. All I wanted to do was explain to Rixus my new understanding of MBTI because I found it really helpful he said I was INFP. And now Quick Twist thinks I am ISFJ. :^^:

No, it's fine to make a type-me thread.

But this thread is about Creeping Death. As soon as you type someone else, that's a derail. That's in addition to it just being sort of impolite to drag someone else's type into a conversation. I mean, to my knowledge he doesn't even agree with your assessment (iirc he thinks he's more likely ISTP?), and here you are using him as your Te exemplar. That said, I have no idea how RB feels about you talking about him in this way. I'm pretty sure that he opted into the witch-hunt thread, so if you want to talk about his type (or yours), you can do so there.

Type can only be understood in relation to how functions are different from each other. I showed how creeping death could be ENTP by showing how other functions work.

How are we supposed to analyze another person's type without making relative comparisons? It's only rude because red does not want to be in the conversation in that way. I am fine with others using me as an example to compare to find out CD's type.

I will not bring up rb's type again if in doing so I am being rude.

I think Hadoblado's issue wasn't how using your understanding of functions to explain CD, it was bringing up RBs type and the derailing into my type. That derailing began, though, when RB bright my typology into it. Although, it was (I thought) an acceptable point given the question was whether anyone agreed with my assertion
n that perhaps CD possibly comes across as a ENTP on the forum. Whether or not I agreed with Red Baron was beside the point - his opinion and reasoning was perfectly valid on that particular point. And given that he asserted that I may be ENTP, it was reasonable (I thought) for Anime to compare the two of us and give his opinion. On that note, I thought it prudent to explain my thought process so that if that is really the processing​ of an ENTP, then it would show the difference between an INTP and an ENTP and that would be thread relevant.

That said, I can see Hado's point that while I (and you, Anime) don't mind someone offering their opinion, not everyone does. And in reference to this thread, I'm not sure whether my comment to Creeping Death intrigued him or offended him and that's why he's started this thread.

I'm also intrigued now, and may start my own Type Me thread later, possibly do a video as well. Don't know how anyone would feel about that.

(Also - I'm glad my point of view was helpful to you, Anime.)

I cannot understand someone's type without thinking of other people as examples. It's just how my cognition works. (CD is ENTP in my opinion)

If we are going by my type being INFP then because I was using my feeling function then that means I was getting too personal for Habablados tastes. The conflict between logic and feeling? I feel that everything I said was relevant to CD's type and was not derailing the way Hadablado perceived me to be doing. (blame it on me being INFP)

I am intrigue , I am not offend. I never considered ENTP before, and of the NT types it's probably the one I have least experience with or knowledge of. So it was interesting to me to see some people suggest I was ENTP.

Objects in the mirror might look closer than they
I have read very closely all your posts or at least most of them, u seem to inject a few phrases on them, perhaps more precisely words in poison, (TBerg, Redbaron or zerkalo do same thing; watch closely) they encapsulate the core of the anti joke within your projection of steadyness upon those reading. But the mirror never points forward but backwards, this review mirror illusive reflection serves as a sunbeam to which most users cannot protect hence they don't wear metaphorical sunglasses. This means in my view you are an ISFJ who covers his feelings using a shelter wisely yet infant made through their repressed dancing Ne. Just look at your posts above. Never a word about your thoughts. They feed u and u are glad. There's no anger (Te), Ni is rather powerful tho but repressed even lower than Ne. Redbaron is right but fails to see through sunglasses. He is using 3D. Wrong cinema bro.
CD: ISFJ

From what I've been observing, everyone does things in a sequential order associated with their function order. So because you went external to internal to external to internal, and specifically Ne to Ti to Fe to Si, this reflects the ENTP function order.

Also regarding your example of your thought processes in tackling a project at work, I wrote this as how I foresee I would operate if I were to go into data analytics:

Ni - global understanding of data analytics and the task at hand
Fe - interacting with clients to determine what they need from the data and knowing which data will be the most valuable for their purposes
Ti - using the tools of analysis on this data to find the results
Se - the finished product, having something tangible which will be of benefit and presenting it

Have a look at how it compares with yours.

I'm not sure how you came up with that. I don't know much about MBTI or typing but I'm not ISFJ, and I can't see how anyone could think that I am. Have you accurately typed anyone before?

Don't you necessarily need to perceive before you can judge? Surely I need to consider possibilities (Ne) before I can analyze them (Ti) regardless of whether I'm INTP or ENTP?

You should but if we are going FOS mode then.... You can use Si to instantly judge or Fi to instantly judge or Ti using Si to instantly judge or Ni to instantly judge or Ne to instantly come up with a creative method of judging.

I guess that at some point there would have to be perceptions... however, there can be pure/abstract judgement which I think would just reference the more a priori forms of the given function and needs no stimulus.

However, the point of function order, from what I am understanding, is that in a judgement dominant type, they begin each "new" phase of cognition (writing a post is usually, but not necessarily, a new cognition) by using a judgement function.

Now, there is the idea that no function occurs in total isolation, however at any given time - or at least, much of the time, since there are, according to Pod'lair, such things as synaesthesia (multiple perception functions at once), synecision (multiple judgement functions at once) and synomnia (I forget if this is all functions at once, or simply a mix of a perception function and judgement function at once) - our cognition is dominanted by only one of the 8 functions.

An INTP for example will commence their cognition by focusing on the Ti function, then after this will come Ne, and then Si, and then Fe, and sometimes this will be followed up by going further into functions 5-8. I have also hypothesised that we use not just one function order, but multiple/all 16, however this is still a more unknown area, so I won't try to argue too strongly that that is the case. Nonetheless, the primary function order i.e. the one corresponding to your type, is the one that is usually shown.

So during the Ti phase, there probably is aspects of the perception functions coming in - and indeed it is true that the Ti will have a distinctly N/Ne or S/Se quality to it - but it is nonetheless the defining feature.

Models which assert things such as perception coming before judgement, or things like top down and bottom up processing occurring in a specific order, do have their place, however they are not quite relevant to function order. I am unsure of their relevance as I do not have a cohesive understanding of any other model of cognition.

So, to give an example, "a cat is a mammal" is a judgement, and so you would think that perception is needed to have an idea of what "cat" means in the first place, but nonetheless, if someone begins a piece of text by saying something like "A cat is a mammal. It has 4 legs and makes a sound referred to as mew/meow. It is commonly domesticated and may be kept as a housepet" then, and correct me if I am wrong, the person is probably Ti dominant. Similarly, beginning with a more descriptive phrase like "The bird flies through the air and loops around in a figure 8 pattern in the air, before safely landing and proceeding to look for worms in the dirt" - then the person is using a perception function (Se I think?), and if they lead new pieces of text with such descriptions, then they are perception (Se) dominant.

There are common themes to how any function uses languages, like, the kind of sentences used, but it's too early yet for me to give a too comprehensive picture of which function corresponds to which kind of sentence. I hope to eventually build up such a description.

Don't you necessarily need to perceive before you can judge? Surely I need to consider possibilities (Ne) before I can analyze them (Ti) regardless of whether I'm INTP or ENTP?

That's how I always thought of it. How could you approach a problem from Ti unless you looked at the problem first? But only if you started thinking about it with no idea of where it was going. No, if you're creating something you have to have a rough or abstract idea of what you're creating in order to think about it.


Also regarding your example of your thought processes in tackling a project at work, I wrote this as how I foresee I would operate if I were to go into data analytics:

Quote:
Ni - global understanding of data analytics and the task at hand
Fe - interacting with clients to determine what they need from the data and knowing which data will be the most valuable for their purposes
Ti - using the tools of analysis on this data to find the results
Se - the finished product, having something tangible which will be of benefit and presenting it

Have a look at how it compares with yours.

You're definition of Ni could be interpreted exactly the same way I explained what you called Ne. You have to begin with a basic understanding of the task at hand, otherwise you are blindly jumping into a problem without knowing what the problem is. And your definition of Fe is just more emphasis on what I said is the first stage. Then Ti - same process. Again, can anyone achieve the result without it or would you call this Te in order to make it fit? Finally Se - but of course you have to have a finished result and present it, unless you didn't finish it. Where does testing it works fit in? If you don't test it, you have no idea whether it works or not.

That could just be an example of different approaches getting at the same thing, and relevant is the fact that a similar process is being described, and it is broken down in the natural way that the task is broken down...

Either way, don't let that particular example detract from the main point that I am making.

(it's also very possible that I've mistyped you; I'll have another look at it later and tell you if I change my mind) (actually, looking at it again, I can't see the Ne any more... still getting the hang of this ^_^ )

(when you said that what I said about myself sounded like what I said of you I was like, wait a second are you INFJ???)

Objects in the mirror might look closer than they
I'm not sure how you came up with that. I don't know much about MBTI or typing but I'm not ISFJ, and I can't see how anyone could think that I am. Have you accurately typed anyone before?

It was a troll typing I thought from the beginning of my post it was clear

I get the introverted ENTP vibe as well, though it should be said my interest and knowledge in mbti is very limited.

There was a thread about how mbti (?) introvert vs extrovert was different than the typical introvert vs extrovert definition. In which you can be an mbti extrovert who's an dictionary introvert, so to speak. I can't remember the name of the thread, though

Also, Rixus is wrong about me being an infj, I'm a quite heavy Ne drinker err user

Oh wait, i think I found the thread. I don't know if this is still mbti, though

Despite popular belief, being an extrovert has nothing to do with how much you talk. Any personality type at all is going to be stimulated by their dominant function, and if their dominant function is an extroverted function, then they are considered an extroverted type. The extroverted type is a personality type that is stimulated (gains energy) by interfacing with a certain element of the external world. This can come in the form of social engagement; however it is not exclusive to this. For instance, Fe is stimulated by the social connection made with other people through social interaction, but Se is stimulated by the sensations of the external world, thus their stimulation could be gained outside of social interaction. The act of extroversion is simply engaging with the external world, this could be in the form of listening to a person speak, being aware of your senses, being aware of the present patterns, or even drawing a picture.

CD dabbles in the memes but like Hado says that's pretty typical nowadays. Overall I'd say it comes off as more an attempt to invite socializing rather than to frustrate anyone.


probably INxJ.

Just because something seems off doesn't mean it's an E/I problem, as ENTP are way different from INTP. It's NeTiFeSi against TiNeSiFe. Could be a mixup with a different functional stack like INFP or INFJ. And the function won't always operate at the same level of efficiency in different people, and different types, so it will look nigh unrecognizable, but still recognizable. The biggest difference is probably SiFe and FeSi. ISTP are more similar to INTP than ENTP, arguably, or rather, they're all the same amount of different from each other.

That goes for ESFJ, ENFJ, and ISFJ; etc.

They're way different. ESFJ is the opposite FeSiNeTi so there's a relation there. But if you substitute an N you get FeNISeTi which is way different from INTP. On a grand scale they shouldn't really get confused together but they'll have a fake, trickster side that if you know the person can tell is secondary.

If anything I wouldn't say the typing is wrong itself but more so the methods were faulty. So he's probably not just ENTP, but maybe some other type.

Memes in my avatar have been brought up a few times in this thread. I didn't know my avatar would come to mind when considering my type.. some may not remember but all of my original avatars were depictions of Anibus.

I do think that your predisposition to bastardising popular concepts/memes is an extroverted tendency, where INTPs are more likely to present a more guarded or idealised face to their peers e.g. the way PhoenixRising/Shieru/Cherry Cola/Auburn would tend to do.

Their avatars are typically reflective of an inner sense of identification with the subject matter, whereby it represents an inner ideal or somehow encapsulates some core thing their inner being identifies with.

You make such astute observations.
Identity is such an important subject matter.
