If you could choose your MBTI which would one would you choose?

bokehgirl91 · Feb 1, 2015

Which perp analogy type would you choose to be if you could?

Tristitian · Feb 1, 2015

I would choose INTP. If it had to be something different, I would choose INTJ.

My answer would, of course, change depending on my mindset. Meaning, if I were to somehow miraculously change type, I would probably have a different way of thinking and perceiving the world afterwards.

If we were to consider this, following my desires, I would never be happy with a single switch. As an INTP, I think the next best choice would be INTJ. As an INTJ, my value for unbiased analysis would lead me to hate my judgement, and want to be an ENTP/INTP. Etc. Etc. I don't care for continued explanation.

A smartass answer that I was planning on building up to would be: "I would just choose ESFJ so I can be stupid and relatively successful, with a touch of ignorance and happiness."

Of course, this is merely a joke and should not be taken seriously.

Sockrates · Feb 1, 2015

As an INTJ, I'd maybe choose ENTJ. But I like being me so...INTJ is still #1\
INTP
ISTJ

Those would both be cool too.

dark+matters · Feb 1, 2015

I would choose ENTJ, strictly because of this chart from TIME.

TheManBeyond · Feb 1, 2015

well that graph seems fitable for me.

I think they forgot to account for Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, which would raise the INTPs' average pretty much off that chart.

TheManBeyond · Feb 1, 2015

bill gates is not an intp by any means, the guy is the most obvious extrovert ever period

Well, Dave Super Powers, Architect, and I would disagree. As would many other experts. Not all INTPs are shut ins. Not all introverts are shut ins.

I'd also want to be intj, than entj. I think most intps are quite satisfied overall with their functional stack. If there is envy it's probably for types that can utilize Te, Se and Ni better than intps.

There's a reason statisticians control for outliers.

If this graph's y-axis started at zero the differences would be far less pronounced.

MellifluousSky · Feb 1, 2015

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

LOL *dries TheManBeyond's tears* Everyone on this chart, including INFPs, is making $60,000 or more a year. $60,000 a year isn't bad at all.

It's household income, not personal.

So it's pretty bad. Time for TMB to become an alcoholic and give up on life.

Oh, okay. So I don't have to change my personality- I just have to marry an ENTJ.

Maybe I'd be an ESFP married to an ENTJ. But according to the chart, the ESFPs' household income would jump higher if I was an ESFP who married an ENTJ, and the ENTJs' household income would go down.

I have no idea how they compiled this information.

Pyropyro · Feb 2, 2015

I'll probably trade some analytic skills for some charisma and discipline so I guess I'll go ENTJ or ENFJ.

Anktark · Feb 2, 2015

INTP. If it has to be different, ISTP.

Hat-Wearing MAN · Feb 2, 2015

I love being INTP, but if I had to switch, I'd go with ENTP. I act like one sometimes, and it's pretty cool having everyone listen to you like that. But as of now, I'll stay INTP.

TheManBeyond · Feb 2, 2015

I find ENFJs quite attractive.

OptiMist_Prime · Feb 3, 2015

Yeah I would go with ENTJ or ENTP. I don't know if I have ever met one of those, but on paper they sound unstoppable. ENTJ = beast mode. And that income chart. Can I get some beast-mode please? For such a long time I even wracked my brains on trying to lower my "I" score, so I could go from I to E. It could happen, right? Right??? :facepalm:

ENTJ. I wouldn't even hesitate.

Hell no that evil retard is indeed INTP. And he is evil since he prevented the movement of open source software with his evil company M$. That retard still lost the 1v1 OS run between Windows vs Linux though.

Back to the thread, ENTJ is never ever INTP and vice versa. ENTJs are not good at logical thinking, but decision making and 6th sense (it's intuitive introversion). Introvert people don't need to transform to extrovert type to being richer because it mean we lost the will to live happy as an introvert. Just get a job and work bitch or choose a right job. IT major might become in handy.

Reluctantly · Feb 4, 2015

Self-empowered INFP, unless I am one. Or INTP with an interesting career. Or an INFJ with a lot of money and the ability to blend into and experience all of the world. I could get lost in the world of the human spirit. It would be pretty interesting, at least. And maybe I could make the world better with that knowledge (nah, people would just think I was crazy like Jung). Or maybe ENFP with a very refined Fi, so I'd find everything interesting, but also be able to relate with other people and improve my own and others lives. Or ENTP that invents ways to replace my body with nano-machines that can evolve with my will and keep me from aging until death.

So, I think, I want to be ... xNxx

QuickTwist · Feb 4, 2015

I would prefer to be INFj3-Ne.

StevenM · Feb 4, 2015

Whatever I am, I'm happy with it. ENTJ would be the last type I'd want to be.

Grayman · Feb 4, 2015

I wish only to be me, but I wish to experience them all. If only one then enfp. I wish to experience that kind of connection with others.

Alomoes · Feb 5, 2015

Actually, nevermind. I'm fine as is. If I'm already perfect, then I'd have no way to get better.

david251 · Feb 8, 2015

ESTJ, the reasons :

1. thinking dominant is better than feeling dominants. feeling dominants are atost women.

2. extraverts are better than introverts because they adapt better to this epoch of history.

3. Ti is a function which doesnt fit well with the current jobs demands.

4. Ni users are considered as the most useless people in nowadays standards according to Jung.

So consequently ESTJ is the best choice.

exactly, that's why ESTJ would be the best choice. That way you don't have to 'adjust' to society, because you were born to naturally fit in.

Quietude · Feb 8, 2015

INTJ or INTP. I have always enjoyed learning more about these personality types and I relate to them on different levels. I am not exactly certain of my personality type after studying the cognitive functions more in depth, though I relate very closely to an INFJ on the cognitive function level.

RandomGeneratedName · Mar 28, 2015

Now: INTP
Change: INTP
Different: INFJ (I wanna know how she(GF-INFJ) holds my attention so well xD)

Not a fan of being someone else at all though.

Seteleechete · Mar 29, 2015

Entp if I had to change.

Ex-User (11125) · Mar 29, 2015

either entp or infj

onesteptwostep · Mar 29, 2015

ENTJ sounds fun. I want to "do" things and earn tons of money for a while, not just "observe" and "think". I wonder how it'll be like to have the order of their cognitive functions o_O

The ETJ combo kind of makes it like they're inherently jackasses.

rainman312 · Mar 29, 2015

<sarcasm>I would totally be and ESFJ</sarcasm>

Spirit · Mar 30, 2015

Ex-User (8886) · Mar 30, 2015

rainman312 · Apr 1, 2015

I honestly don't think I would enjoy being an ENTJ, then again, I would probably say the same about being an INTP were I an ENTJ. Still, I wouldn't give up the intellectual badassery that comes with being an INTP just so I could make more money.

paradoxparadigm7 · Apr 2, 2015

I'd like to find out the benefits of extraversion but I wouldn't want to give up intuition. Fe is something I'd like to keep too but I'd like to switch and see what a thinking style would be like. Perception is another switch I'd like to experience. ENTP it is!

kora · Apr 2, 2015

ENTP looks like so much fun. Happy enough being INFJ though.

Jennywocky · Apr 2, 2015

I'd be decent at being INFJ or ENTP.

If I wanted to stretch myself, probably ExTJ -- "Look at all I am accomplishing, people tremble in terror beneath my ambition!"

I can't imagine what it would be like to be ExFP... kind of like I was being tossed and bounced everywhere all the time in life, pretty unstable from what I'm used to.
