What other type irritates you the most?

[Kianara]

What other MBTI types do you find to be the most annoying and why?

Personally, I find that the ESFJs and the ISFPs just rub me the wrong way. It's probably the SF thing, plus the fact that ESFJs seem to become emotional train wrecks the moment someone who refuses to be politically correct disturbes their 'bubble.' I am usually that politically incorrect person who won't be nice to spare someone's feelings.

Your thoughts?

 

[Ermine]

Yeah, pretty much any SJ. Even if they aren't feeling, they are very easily offended by any disrespect for convention. To them, I'm a walking load of dissidence, and therefore, a target for their wrath.

 

[Agent Intellect]

extroverts and judgers of any kind. i find sensors more boring then irritating, and feelers are simply an enigma.

(god i hope this doesn't double post, i lost it the first try)

 

[Artifice Orisit]

ENTJ

They assume being introverted is somehow wrong and will constantly remind INTPs of it, dispite being warned of consequences.

@-Fernando
My mother is an ISFJ with a high IQ, talking to her is like being on trial.
She's clever enough to find offense in anything I say and assumes it's my intention.

 

[Ermine]

The exact same thing happens with my mom. Whenever the way I word something rubs her the wrong way, she takes offense, assumes I did it on purpose, and goes into "interrogation mode" until I either run her down or she breaks me down. I think she's an ISTJ.

 

[Artifice Orisit]

Perhaps our INTP personalities are are result of our parents?

A defense mechanisum maybe?

 

[Ermine]

However, what is the use of having a defense mechanism if it's easier to agree? So far as I know, I've always been this way, even before I started arguing with my mom on a regular basis.

 

[fullerene]

Not too many people grate against me... I don't so much like ESTJs just because they remind me so much of this horrid culture. It's not their fault... it's just run by them, and I hate it, so it's hard to look past the similarities when meeting the people. I thought that ESFJs were a pain in the ass too, when I was younger... but I've met a couple of really good ones who have pushed me back from saying I don't get along with the type at all. They do, however, get obnoxious whenever I do something a little bit strange.

I think I'd go with Ermine... SJs in general are obnoxious. AI is right, too... that S-types in general are just kind of boring to me (my roommate this year is, I think, an ESFP. We don't really talk at all, because neither cares much for what the other person has to say). Intuitives in general are my absolute favorite. NTs are amazing as long as they're not arrogant and conceited, and NFs whose values make sense are my absolute favorite. I don't know many SFs, but the SJs all have their little quirks that get on my nerves a lot. Of the SJs, though, ISTJs are my favorites. One of the ISTJs I know has a really nice sense of humor. If you locked the kid in a room, he'd find some way to glue the furnature to the ceiling. Any time he's left alone, something funny just happens.

 

[Kianara]

Hmmm, interesting. My step-mom does similar things to me, taking everything I say/do, finding fault with it, and presenting minute details that mean nothing but point to my guilt in whatever it is, despite my intentions.

I think she's an xSTJ.

As far as finding sensors to be boring, to me boring is irritating.

 

[grey matters]

If it is any consolation, the personality difference thing can get a little easier when you get older. First of all older people have, or are developing, their other functions. Second of all many older people are more mature and have learned to appreciate the differences in others. These two things are not always the case though, there are always your garden variety pain in the butt holdouts who refuse to mature.

I am currently in a bible study with a bunch of female feeling types (this could be a potential disaster for an INTP). I am surprised by the fact that they actually like my analyitical personality. It's weird. The only thing differerence in this social group of feeling types, as opposed to other (somewhat disaterous) groups of similar type, is that in my current group there are a lot of mature people.

 

[Kianara]

I hope so, seeing as I was born middle aged and get older every day. I generally act like I'm 40 except when someone (generally an S type) pushes me too far. Then I lose a couple of decades and start acting my age.

 

[Ermine]

I've experienced the same thing in the Young Women group at my church. I am totally at odds with the personalities of everyone there, but not only do they accept me, they like and appreciate me. And this only gets more amazing when this is a group ranging from 12 to 18, with leaders in their 20s and 30s. The maturity doesn't even matter sometimes.

 

[flow]

I've lately felt a great divide in personalities, those who are intuitive and those who are sensing. I honestly can't stand any sensory type, their conversations seem pointless, redundant, and boring. I also don't really care for introverts.. too socially timid :P

 

[Reverse Transcriptase]

I had an ISFP friend-of-a-friend who drove me nuts, but then I discovered the MBTI, typed him, and understood the source of conflict. I enjoy his company now, and I think it's good for him to stretch his N and me to stretch my S.

NTs are good people, and as cryptonia said NFs are good when their values make sense. Even if their values don't make sense, they are interesting people to be around.

My ex-gf's mom is a SJ. I hate it! I can see how the strong SJ has effected my INFP ex-gf, and I dislike it. My ex-gf has Stockholm syndrome, so she still appreciates her mother anyway.

But being at an engineering college, I don't meet that many Sensory types. If I had understood the MBTI in high school I might have a better grasp how sensory types act.

 

[Kianara]

It's actually kind of interesting. One of my best friends is an ESFP, and yet she doesn't irritate me at all. We've known each other for years now, but don't find the S/N differences to be redundant or to cause boring conversation. Yet, when I talk to other ESFPs, I just can't stand them.

 

[grey matters]

for quite some time now I have been noticing the new hairstyles for older women, and have been perplexed as to why someone would spend so much time, money and effort to screw up their hair like some of them do.

I understand why younger people (both male and female) do this. It's an expression of individuality and, for some, a way to attract attention. At the very least it's a great way to piss off their parents. All understandable motives.

But the reasons why an older women would do this still mystified me until I started going to this bible study group that was full of women with screwed up hair. I believe that it is not the screwed up hair so much as it is the pampering and attention that goes into screwing up one's hair. It can be a real social time for them. One person (the hair stylist) caring for the other and what not.

How did I come to this conclusion (which may be bullshit)? Well My friend had beautiful natural brown hair which used to bring out the color of her eyes. The hairstyle was contemporary but still feminine; It was pretty. The other day I went over to her house she had blond and reddish streaks in her hair like you would find on a wig for a Halloween costume. She was a bit nervous about the drastic change and I said "well I think you could just dye it back toyour original color and wait for your original color to grow in. She was resistant to the idea, so I said "your original color was so nice, why don't you just change it back?" That's when another woman, with seriously screwed up hair, talked about how she liked to have many colors in her hair.

My observation of her was that if she chose just one color she would look better, but I thought that I should keep my mouth shut about this, so (thankfully) I did. Anyway they got to talking and decided that the way to deal with the first woman's streaky hair was to chop up the back of her hair. The next time I saw her it looked like a 3 year old had gone back there with a pair of scissors. I didn't say anything, but I noticed that she was happy with the way it looked.

Now by happiness I mean that she looked like she felt satisfied. As if some deep need had been met. It was more then vanity. That's when I thought perhaps it is not the hair style itself, but the process that goes into getting the hairstyle, and then maintaining it. It's the experience. Some people like to be physically pampered like that.

My idea of being physically pampered is to have someone hand me a hot cup of coffee and a warm blanket while I read my book. I don't like people messing with my hair, nails or whatnot, and I don't feel comfortable with the social experience of doing this either.

Before the hair discussion I had been observing their behavior and had concluded that they might be some sort of feeling types but I can't guess weather they are SF or NF.

 

[Gorgrim]

I like other introverts, I've found some interesting more adult introverted people too. ( im 18 ). but it does appear that it's harder to talk introvert to introvert, unless I know them well, it can be abit hard.

The most redicolous types appear to be judging types, who FEEEEEEEEEEL.... it ticks me off.

judging feelers ( FE's ) annoy me alot. only get a long with INFJS.

 

[bdubs]

I have never bothered to type someone who ticks me off. I tend to be fairly agreeable, so if someone is getting to me its most likely because they want to irritate me or simply could not care less about how their actions are affecting me in a negative way. I do not tend to waste the mental energy thinking about these people in my off time.

Edit: Although I see the potential value of seeing the situation from their perspective, I may simply be incapable of typing someone I do not know well enough to like. (Or in this case only know enough of to dislike)

 

[Kianara]

I understand why younger people (both male and female) do this. It's an expression of individuality and, for some, a way to attract attention. At the very least it's a great way to piss off their parents. All understandable motives.

As a highschooler, I can verify this statement based on my own personal observations (like the feelings I experienced when my step-mom got on my case when I dyed my hair purple to stand out. When it started to wear out, I was just more determined to re-dye it.)

My idea of being physically pampered is to have someone hand me a hot cup of coffee and a warm blanket while I read my book. I don't like people messing with my hair, nails or whatnot, and I don't feel comfortable with the social experience of doing this either.

XDDD I can totally agree with that. My hair is too short for any of my friends to mess with it anyway (once one of my friends tried to purposely screw with my hair, trying to get it to look bad. She failed because I could fix it by shaking my head around), and I don't mess with their hair, so 'hair messing' isn't apart of my life.

Which reminds me of middle school, where the teachers would always be yelling at girls that "THIS ISN'T A BEAUTY SALON!!!" Because they were constantly doing each others' hair. Heaven only knows why.

Before the hair discussion I had been observing their behavior and had concluded that they might be some sort of feeling types but I can't guess weather they are SF or NF.

Hmmm, I find that feeling type women (that is to say, most women) are sometimes harder to type when it comes to the S/N difference because the Feeling can dominate in their personalities. Add that to the fact that women don't make sense anyway.

 

[Jordan~]

I would once have definitely said it's Js, since I can't stand people who are all ultra-organised and stuff, but now I'd probably say it's SJs. NJs and SPs are very tolerable, but the SJ combo is a nightmare. STJ might be worse than SFJ, and E worse than I, so ESTJ is probably the type that annoys me the most. I can put up with my ESFJ gran, who's oddly open minded and rational - I suppose with age comes maturity - but an ESFJ who didn't dote on me completely might be a bit difficult to cope with. ESTJs are worse, I think, because they won't listen to reason unless they agreed with you in the first place, in addition to the whole scheming/interfering thing that SJs do. I hate seeing wasted potential like that. They can understand logic perfectly, but they'll never apply it to their own thoughts.

 

[Barachai]

ESFP, but what's most important is what a person chooses, not their type.
Nevertheless, frivolity annoys the heck out of me...

 

[didyouknow]

Well, to be honest, it's mostly my mother. I'm not entirely sure which type she is though. She is in my most personal opinion, the most irritating person on the planet. Heres an example:

Last night when we were watching tv, I decided we would watch House. She immediately started complaining on how much she didn't like him (House) because he was so "arrogant, conceited, rude" and went on to say that she would leave the hospital if she were to ever get a doctor like that.

I, of course, was deeply offended. I reminded her that he was "dedicated, intelligent and good at what he does" though a little...well, 'obsessive' sometimes (to the point of risking his or someone elses life for the sake of curiosity).

She can't seem to grasp that there is more to the value of a person than their "niceness".

 

[Thread Killer]

ESXJs tick me off the most. It's a tie between ESTJ and ESFJ though I usually get rubbed the wrong way by ESTJs first, but I find ESTJs easier to deal with sometimes than ESFJs when they decide they don't like you.

 

[Tiger]

unfortunately i have to go with the grain and say sj's are like natural enemies to me. every estj i can think of is someone i was able to dislike from a distance -mutually. i also find we're always in competition, maybe something to do with being both thinkers and otherwise completly different.
i was in an enternal horn clashing competition with everysingle one. estj and esfj are two types that have proved in real life to provoke the most violence from me.

esfj and i... we scorn everyhting the other values. typical conflicting types i suppose.

 

[Nightingale]

Anything EXFX is pretty much incomprehensible to me.

Which type is comprised of those who accept ideas because their feelings tell them so, totally ignore all rational discussion on the subject, and then go on a mission to crucify everyone who doesn't agree? ESFJ?

 

[Perseus]

Just about all Irrationals SF, especially ESFJ Horseman but also ESTJ Bullies and ENTJ Wolfmen. Usually fall out with all the Judgement types as well. All SJ Guardians tend to annoy.

 

[Perseus]

She can't seem to grasp that there is more to the value of a person than their "niceness".

Mouse or Hamster (ISFJ). She should be sent up to her bedroom with a glass of water.

 

[Lise]

I don't think that someone's compatibility with another person is based soley on MBTI type. For example, I have met several INTJs, some of which I almost immediately befriended, and the rest of which I almost immmediately detested.

However, I think that FJs are generally the quickest to rub me the wrong way. Not literally, of course.

 

[Snail]

She was probably my type. INFP. Her way of determining someone's value sounds very much like mine, and if she is like me, you will never get her to agree with you.

 

[Jesin]

She was probably my type. INFP. Her way of determining someone's value sounds very much like mine, and if she is like me, you will never get her to agree with you.

You sure she couldn't have been ISFP?

 

[Snail]

Could have been. Those are Fi dominant too.

The problem with Intuition is the world-view (different planets). A Christian inutuitive would be diffferent from a primitive animist, a Freudian from a Jungian, but with the perennial philosophy that may be a universal intuitive truth, not shared by the barbarian sensors.

INTJs can work an agenda, as can any type.

 

[adastrac]

I clash with SJs often. But in general, anyone who is arrogant and/or has low self-esteem....... recipe for disaster. (for me, anyway).

 

[Wisp]

SJs suck in general, but E ones are the worst.

 

[Kianara]

What do you find most irritating about the SJ types?

 

[grey matters]

I'm not answering for Wisp (like I could) I'm answering for myself when I say it's that Sj"s are always trying to change me, to get me in step with the system (usually theirs).

 

[NoID10ts]

My wife is an SJ. Poor thing. I'm making her life a living hell because I like to color outside the lines to much.

 

[grey matters]

Well it's good to see that she hasn't managed to change you.

 

[Perseus]

Cats (ISFP) end up being troublesome. Just don't get on, rather than being adversaries. SF is irrational, coupled with good perception equals problems and not seeing eye to eye with the Eagle.

NP: Psychedelic cf. SJ: Guardian

A Guardian criticised me for taking LSD 39 years ago, as though I was an arch villain.

 

[Kianara]

I'm not answering for Wisp (like I could) I'm answering for myself when I say it's that Sj"s are always trying to change me, to get me in step with the system (usually theirs).

I have the same problems with them. I wonder if you guys (the INTPs) find SJs more annoying than I do (INTJ). I hate it when SJs try and force their system on me, mostly because its all Sensing and not my system. I like my system, don't particularly care if anyone else does, and don't like it changed or messed with. Above all else.

 

[grey matters]

Persues, wow, 39 years and still your sins are not forgiven. Now that's being overly legalistic.

 

[Fedayeen]

Any type with weak N. They always assume im doing something stupid because they can't see past the present, and then have to point out what I am doing wrong. Most of the time I don't feel like explaining just how wrong they are.....till I've had enough and explode so to speak.

 

[Luzian]

SJs

The belong nowhere near me

 

[ejames]

ISFP and ESFJ mainly.
IS just don't seem to understand people as well and when you combine that with P their non-commitment can be annoying to others. Any SF is just so hard to reason with and I get irritated when they aren't logical. ESFJs particularly because of how their out-goingness amplifies it.

 

[Melkor]

Intp's.


I can't stand the miserly,shadowy,anti-social bastards.

 

[aahzombies]

One of my friends is an ESFP. I don't know whether it's just her but we clash all the time. She believes in the power of action and so when I try to express myself verbally to her, she brushes it off. Now it's hard enough for me to put myself out there to try to explain something emotional and it drives me nuts when she acts like it's nothing. Half of the time I would do anything for her, and the other half I can't believe how nasty I can be. She just brings out the manipulative bitch in me.

 

[Perseus]

I am getting very irritated by the Cathouse today. ISFP are doing their manipulations.

 

[gpetersen]

ENTJ

They assume being introverted is somehow wrong and will constantly remind INTPs of it, dispite being warned of consequences.

@-Fernando
My mother is an ISFJ with a high IQ, talking to her is like being on trial.
She's clever enough to find offense in anything I say and assumes it's my intention.

Not all us ENTJ's are like that! Most of my friends are I's, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It's S's I can't stand! They're anti-logic and anti-intellectual. S's are utterly impossible to reason with.

 

[Ermine]

What's even more annoying is STs. They hang on to convention so much that their line of reasoning is unreasonable or so subjective it's useless. Also, in my experience, whenever I introduce a new, undeniably useful or good idea, they say, "I'll consider it but..." and go back to what they were reasoning like they never heard me.
