INTP able to 'land' in perspectives

[GYX_Kid]

In one's disconnected island of perception, through enough strengthening of functions and experience, one might develop a (relative to others) mastery of perspectives through observation and analysis/understanding. They can then land in another- which is several notches above fake manipulation and a few above acting, and is stylistically different from sentimental empathy.

I have admired traits commonly found in the ENTP, INTJ, and ISTP, to name a few.

I suppose ENTP would be assumed to be the easiest to 'switch' to temporarily, since it's only a matter of emphasizing the top 2 functions we use?

the J and S might be a little more deviated, since it would require more than a slightly reordered emphasis on the functions we actually possess. But the ways of thinking can still be learned and added to a library of tools. What do you think?


INTP may be a 'best of' multiple worlds in this way, but we need to harness the ability to equip styles basically. It's like non-concentrate juice, but a possibility of different flavors, and you have to put in the effort to squeeze it out.

I dont think you can change your type. It would be ideal though. Too good to be true.

The old alchemists thought that you could change your personality if you burn it all and rise again. There could be a certain truth to that.

I think we can make temporary changes to ANY type, but we will always revert back to what is natural for us.

I'm only talking about temporary changes

and that ENTP might be relatively easier, due to (at least in theory) the only necessary switch being to focus more on your Ne as a priority.

but also in the end, having more of a worldly-scale library of tools to use. Sort of like multiple personality disorder, but much more super-order than disorder.

In theory then, making a change to ESFJ or ISFJ is also easier than the other types for the same reason... We share all 4 functions, just in different orders.

INTP = Ti Ne Si Fe
ENTP = Ne Ti Fe Si
ISFJ = Si Fe Ti Ne
ESFJ = Fe Si Ne Ti

I'm not sure how accurate it would be to say that changing the order of our functions would be easier than modifying the functions themselves, from Ti to Te as an example.

You can switch to ESFJ easily. Just get really stressed out.

 

[smithcommajohn]

A lot of emphasis is put on the functions, but it seems to me that they probably have shades within themselves anyway. My last test (as seen below) puts me at 100% N and 74% T. Couldn't it follow that my Ti is not as dominant and may be weaker than my Ne? I feel like there is a lot of grey area here that is turned into concrete by people without just cause.

You can develop a model of how different methods of perception and decision occur but I doubt you can use them yourself. It would contradict the exact methods you're using to form the model in the first place.
