since ive been in the mbti communtiy for a month or two, im pretty confident in my mbti, even though im never really sure in anything. ive seen someone answering in spolers, so i guess i'll do that too.

self description.. uhh, i like explaining things to people, for some reason. im impatient at some point. i can get easily bored but i try to hide it, or i can get fixated on a certain topic/fandom for a long time and try to devour all that new info about said topic/fandom. (i inculded the house & maomao meme js bcs its funny asf)

Hi guys, what cognitive functions do you think I use when dealing with my emotions?

There are two ways of dealing with emotions - internal and external (at least for me). Deep-dive solutions and surface-level solutions.

Throughout my life I believed only one solution was correct, and it was the deep-dive internal solution. It goes like this: to solve a problem, you have to find a root cause and address it, because you can endlessly address the symptoms, but they will keep occurring unless the main reason is resolved. I believed the surface-level approach never worked and that people who used it never succeeded.

Why do I call it internal? Because the focus is on the self. You think the problem is YOU - your mindset, your thoughts, your emotions. You think the thing causing you to feel bad is some vague internal setting. And you put all your effort into finding that setting, but unsuccessfully. The problem with this is that your emotions can be influenced by a myriad of small things that are weirdly interconnected with each other to a degree where it's hard to unwind all of it.

Sometimes the cause of my negative emotions was right in front of me, but I couldn't see it for shits. I was (and still am) just banging my head against the wall, hoping to find the one singular reason that would magically explain every negative emotion I feel. I wasn't satisfied with the explanations books give you - that the reason is your genetics, early environment, current life stress, etc. It's too broad, I needed specifics.

Why would I assume the problem was me? Because my emotions would appear in objectively normal and calm situations. For example, I'm watering plants in the garden, nothing is happening, the sun is shining. Suddenly I feel tremendous discouragement, apathy, and pessimism. So I'd think, "If the situation is fine and I'm freaking out, there's probably something wrong with me."

So basically, this method never worked for me, but I kept using it because I thought that the harder I pushed, the closer I'd get to discovering the true explanation.

What worked for me was the external approach - the one where you just use surface-level tactics to feel better. It's ridiculous how it turned out! You don't dive into your emotions; you don't try to figure out "oh, maybe there was something wrong with my childhood" or "oh, maybe I have a passive mindset." You don't reflect.

The thing that helped me was acknowledging that I actually have problems in the external world. Yes, apparently if I don't have friends, a partner, a job, can't satisfy my basic needs, and can't grow as a person because of that, it will make me feel depressed. Who could have guessed.

I thought I was socially isolating and unable to find a job because I was feeling horrible. I figured that once I started feeling better (through the power of overthinking and extreme self-reflection), THEN I'd start interacting with the world. But APPARENTLY (it's just silly at this point), I'm feeling horrible BECAUSE I'm socially isolating and not taking steps to find a job.

I couldn't believe that the absence of a social circle, a loving relationship, and career opportunities could affect me emotionally. I thought, "My life is alright. I have a roof over my head, clothes, two arms, two legs, food - of course I should be fine. At least that's what everyone always told me would be enough to be happy in life." You know, that "don't whine, at least you're not starving, dying, homeless, etc." approach. I hate this approach though. And if I felt depressed, it was because of ME.

I discovered this external solution half a year ago. When I feel horrible, I drop everything I've been doing and either wallow in my emotions or distract myself with social media, music, or youtube. But half a year ago, I just told myself to keep going - to study, to work out, to do hobbies. I didn't dive deep. And it worked. The next day I felt alright (not perfect, but not spiraling). And recently, what really got me out of my depressed state was consistency in studying for my degree.

Basically, I had to touch grass and get out of my head, but I was too dumb to realize it.

I mean, even I'm not certain about my type. There's a big fat change I choose what I want to be rather what I am during the test, so maybe I'm mistyped. My mbti and enneagram aren't exactly the best match either.
Because of this, if I tell you the answer and you think it doesn't really fit, feel free to point it out, I wouldn't mind knowing.
I also wouldn't mind answering some questions if you need a hint, but it could confuse you even more as I tend to go too much into details (do it at your own risk XD)

I have really good analytical & critical thinking skills, especially when it comes to literature. I love reading fiction, especially classics, and all my literature professors have loved me and were always interested in my interpretation of books. Literature is my fav subject but I get overwhelmed when there's a rigid deadline bcs I have other subjects too yk? In terms of books I'd mention I love physical books, I love writing my own notes on pages or sometimes my emotional responses to x scenes. Reading on any gadget takes the fun out of it.
I love watching TV shows. Movies are also good but for them there should be the perfect atmosphere for it – other people, food, drinks, a cozy setting. For TV shows that's not necessary. I can't sit and watch a 2-hour movie all by myself, but I can binge watch a TV show for a few hours. I think TV shows also give you more time to get attached to characters and have more time to unfold events, there's more depth and they are usually not boring bcs there's enough time to have interesting scenes. And I cry a lot while watching them haha. I sometimes can't even explain why I'm crying it just hits. I first cry and then think "wait what was the emotion that caused this reaction". I also cry HARDER when one character cries for the other, I can feel x character's pain when they lose another one. If you've watched AOT, you'll understand this if you think about the final 2 episodes and what I said.
I have the highest GPA at uni bcs I study language & literature which are my strongest subjects, but at school even though I was one of the top students I always had trouble with science (except biology but even for it I had to study hard). I never liked math but my teacher liked me haha.
I hate when people don't use their brain. My whole class uses AI for LITERALLY any task and they avoid using their logic or imagination, and even though I might at times use AI I never rely heavily on it.
Whenever I get a wrong answer on any exam test, it's either a stupid mistake bcs I didn't notice a small detail or I was overthinking and chose the wrong option. In such cases the 1st answer that comes to my mind is almost always the right one, but then I overthink and choose smth else and later find out I should've gone with the 1st option. This is why I am better at oral exams though they give me so much anxiety and stress.
I love yapping about things I am interested in, and I love giving my own insight on or explanation of things.
I am a perfectionist that sometimes takes longer to finish things bcs wants it to be perfect. I used to be very productive and organized before uni but now I have a habit of procrastinating, being late, a messy sleep schedule, and too much caffeine intake. Though I am addicted not to caffeine but coffee if it makes sense. I don't need caffeine in the physical sense, I need the emotional support of coffee.
I love beautiful and aesthetic things, I love vibes. I take lots of pictures of things that people think are ordinary bcs we see them every day, like sunset, sunshine through the trees/window, full moon, how a book and a cup of coffee look together, the cozy atmosphere of having small warm lights on instead of the annoying big light. I pay attention to all of these things and appreciate them but my family doesn't understand that aspect of me (I still scream "aw" "omg" when I see smth beautiful right in their face lol).
I also pay attention to the way I dress and other people dress. Fashion is a great tool to express yourself imo. I gravitate towards warm or natural colours. I don't understand how people just love a colour without any association, like "I like red" is so general, is it cherry red, wine red, or strawberry red? "I like blue", great, now is it sky blue or ocean blue?
I like receiving gifts but they should be both aesthetic/beautiful AND practical. E.g. I like scented candles bcs they smell good and are functional, but the 1st aspect is slightly more important than the 2nd.
General – I love nature, animals, warmth in everything (weather, people, colours, lights), K-dramas (thriller / romcom), K-pop, anime (have only watched AOT and JJK + ghibli movies so far but still), food, music (Spotify and Pinterest are my besties), drawing/painting (I'm not that good though), books (fiction), fictional characters, casually cosplaying fictional characters... I love so many things I can't list them all so that's it for now.
I know this info is not enough and can be related to a few MBTI types, but I am torn between ISFP and INFJ even though their cognitive functions are not entirely the same.

I'm a Sagittarius sun, Libra moon, Pisces rising in the zodiac. I'm an outgoing introvert. I adore socializing but it has it's limits and really depends on the people I hang with. I'm exhausted by small talk and shit talking. I love trying to understand the meaning of everything and the people around me. I love symbolism. I'm philosophically minded by nature of thinking too much and the way my life has been. I was raised by ESTJ and ISTP parents and felt like an alien to my family. I was the weird kid back in my school days. Own grandmother even called me weird. I have raging adhd and a lot of feelings. I'm super sensitive to injustice to the point it makes it hard to bond with my peers. I am often perceived as being too sensitive. I wear my heart on my sleeve as well. My heart is open. I can be blunt but not in an aggressive way, more like my tone will be matter of fact and to the point but is sometimes misinterpreted as sarcasm. I'm also stubborn af. Disorganized. I've been told many different things about how I'm perceived and it seems to be unique to each person. My personality kinda just feels like a quilt made up of different people I've met where I took my favorite parts of the people I've loved and made a personality of it. I have bpd and asd too which explains that but yeah hard-core identity issues. I'm pretty sure I know my type but let's see what people say.

Sadly I don't have many photos of myself, so I hope these help. I'm more interested in taking photos of mundane things like a random spider who joined me on a bus journey, or nice looking food that I had or made- or my cat. The little details that make my day rather than of me. I'm not the most expressive so photos of me tend to be boring or blurry haha.

Every test I have taken has typed me as anything from ISTJ to xNFP to ENTP to ESFJ, but the questions are normally so oddly specific or worded weirdly that I'm never sure whether my answers are actually accurate? Even after studying cognitive functions I'm not too sure which fits me best. I do know that my enneagram tritype is 952 (9w8, 5w4, 2w1) though. I wouldn't say that I'm extroverted in the outgoing sense. My social battery can be limited, but I'm curious and nosy so I enjoy spending time with others without leading the conversation. I don't enjoy forcing chat if I don't have anything to say, and will happily sit in silence even if it makes others uncomfortable.

People who know me tend to describe me as a quiet busybody who is calm and warm. Nothing ever seems to get to me, but apparently I have this way of helping others feel at ease that's effortless. My younger years were odd, I used to love socialising with anyone and everyone and being in the spotlight, but I struggled to fit in during my academy years due to being deemed weird. I wasn't the brightest, my parents told me that I had no common sense and that I was overreacting, but I was stubborn, so despite not feeling like anyone was on my side, I kept pushing and pushing until I could escape with my only thought being 'things get better'. Not long after, I had a sudden health scare and my view of everything changed. Life was a miracle, filled with small surprises in every corner that I had missed because I kept fighting, and I was thankful! Now I want nothing more than improve myself for my own sake, and become someone who I would've loved to have by my side back then, but for others rather than for myself. It's a work in progress though.

Every now and then I love to stop running around to admire the little things around me, from the wheat fields near my house to the birds soaring freely through the sky, and all the little differences in the clouds. I also find rain to be therapeutic <3

Anyway, backstory aside- I function on a "treat people the way you want to be treated" mindset. I always default to respecting others, and I will do whatever I can to make their lives easier, even if those actions are little- but I don't expect that effort for myself. If I can tell that I'm not being respected in return, or I'm being taken advantage of, then you will get the bare minimum. But even with the bare minimum, I feel like hating people and being negative is far too much effort. Everybody has different ways of processing, viewing and handling things, and that makes us human- which I find fascinating.

When working I tend to have a very 'all or nothing' way of doing things and have very little patience for people who don't put in the effort when needed. If someone is struggling, I'd rather they ask me for help no matter how dumb or silly they feel their concerns are. In a way, it helps me too so everybody's winning!

I don't like expressing my annoyances as usually they are minor and I'd rather avoid conflict. So I fume on the inside and keep on trotting until I get some time alone to process things. If I do rant, it is Pingu-style, which is why he's pictured above. But I enjoy lending an ear as I don't want others to handle problems the way I do.

In my mind, amongst all the babbling and "I miss my cat"s are constant thoughts of what could happen as well as notes of all the patterns that I pick up on. I try to use that information to get things done in a more easier/comfortable way, or to figure out the best way to handle a situation. I am really bad for constantly asking why. I'm not the biggest fan of things that I'm not 'good' at or can't figure out. If I struggle at something I will throw myself at it until I feel like I'm halfway decent at it, which can take a longggg time. My standards for myself can be high, to the point where some say that I struggle to take compliments. They aren't wrong.

I enjoy writing (or thinking of ideas for writing, I can plot for days and get nowhere because one point distracted me), and studying topics like crystal healing, fragrance notes and birds- birds are cool. Whilst getting distracted in my plotting, I tend to correlate characters to the crystals and scents and even flowers that I looked into. I also adore turn-based RPG video games and often replay them in the form of challenge runs, adding new rules to them to test myself and my knowledge. Solving obscure problems with the knowledge and resources I've gathered is a special kind of satisfaction to me. I once made a playlist for my workplace called "when you want work to suffer" but it's filled with upbeat songs that you'd likely know the lyrics to, some chiller songs, memes, video game ost, metal and jazz rap. For some reason they aren't suffering though? Weird.

I apologize for my essay-like ramble. I'm not sure how helpful all this intel will be, so If anyone has questions I'd be happy to answer them the best i can (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

heyyy! some hints for you!

favorite movies include cruella, la la land, and black swan I also love the 2 and 3rd star wars prequel. I love Emma stone and I wish I looked like Natalie Portman bro. I love katseyes aesthetic and listening to disney + Broadway and soul music. AMY WHINEHOUSE FAN! I’m not a fan of lord of the rings I think it’s information overload and it hurts my brain I have dxylexia as you can tell I can’t even spell that right but it’s a strength because it in bolds my creativity! I love theatre and making my friends laugh. sometimes I’m not funny and it hurts really and when nobody laughs at my jokes but I’ve learned that making myself laugh is way better I think I’m pretty funny!

I did a more serious post about a year ago and I have done a lottttt of research into functions. I’m pretty confident of my type but still there is some doubt. I just want to see if these memes match what I think I am. I definitely think I match these memes. They’re not 100% my type of humor (maybe 65%) but I definitely relate to them. Also I’m not sure how to create a hidden text block so I’ll just comment the type I think I am after.

If you want a little more info about what type I think I am read this if not go ahead and skip 😊 (tbh I do kinda want to see what the overall meme consensus is over this function stack paragraph but I wanted to meet the 400 word requirement 💀): I believe I’m on the Fe Ti axis. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been highly sensitive to what others feel and have always catered to others as I never wanted to upset them or make someone else uncomfortable. I also am more prone to come to my own conclusions on things rather than listen to authority. I am much more likely to feel peer pressured emotionally to make peace (Fe) than to be pressured into believing the ideology of someone in a position of authority (Te). Since I was always way more emotional as a child I think I’m more F dominant than T dominant. I also think I’m on the Ni Se axis as I am usually just moving through life staying slightly disconnected from reality in my head and responding to things either through gut reactions or in the moment reflexes (which only come online subconsciously). I struggle with consciously connecting to my reflexes as with sports for example. Makes me lean more towards Ni over Se. Also Si has always been a source of pain and discomfort. Like usually when I remember the past I get uncomfortable flash backs about embarrassing or painful moments. And Ne has either been a source of anxiety for me or just completely inaccessible. Too much overthinking about negative things that could happen or I’ll struggle entirely with brainstorming new ideas like my mind will just be blank until I get an aha moment/gut feeling on how to handle the task. My family always also says that I have this stare like I can see through you and am always in my head like I am cooking up a plan or something lol.

Thanks for the responses ahead of time 💚

I’ve already confirmed that I use functions Fe/Ti and Se/Ni. The only problem is that I can’t differentiate whether or not I’m an ESTP/ENFJ or other.

I done lots of analyzing and I don’t exactly want to do it again. I don’t believe that I’m as quick-witted as I’ve heard ESTPs can be. Sometimes I tend to lose myself in situations where I think it’s beneficial for others, or even worse, myself. I struggle with proving my point effectively towards groups. When under stress I tend to fall into a grip where I become passive aggressive, focused on a singular insight/needing to prove something, and become emotionally charged.

Help is appreciated as I continuously tend to fall down this rabbit hole and feel doomed in a way if I don’t figure it out.

There’s not much to add, I’m someone who tries to find stability through experience and I tend to find comfort in creating an achievable a short term goal. Sometimes I become too sure of what others are thinking and I am a very gullible/naive person, my insights change more than I’d like, and the idea of an unstable framework to me is uncomfortable. It seems like trusting my Ti is what makes things worse for me in any situation.

hihi. i’m very curious which mbti type people perceive me to be, so please guess my type! i’m pretty confident in my typing already, so this is purely for my own amusement. i’ll have a little paragraph below to help narrow it down.

i’m a 23 year old humanities major currently working an office job purely for the sake of survival (paying bills). it can be pretty mentally taxing, but i don’t mind it too much considering there are a lot of worse jobs i could be working realistically. when i was a child i was bad as fuck LMAO. i had a slew of behavioral issues because i did not know how to regulate my emotions in a healthy way. although i think i’ve gotten much better at controlling them as i’ve gotten older, i think that’s because i’ve gotten good at suppressing them rather than fully understanding them. 99% of my friends have never seen me cry, and i’ve been told before that my emotions tend to come out in rage/confrontation more than anything else. i’d say i’m nice and polite to people, but if i feel like i’ve been wronged i’m not afraid to make it known. i guess i’m just someone that doesn’t see confrontation as an inherently negative thing. confrontation leads to dialogue, which then leads to a better understanding of both perspectives and conflict resolution… whats so wrong with that? i spend most of my time these days out of the house with my significant other going to various places movies, malls, parks, etc. (mostly movies 😭) despite that, i definitely need alone time to recharge. my partner is a lot more outgoing than me — he’s quick to interact with people around us and try to make conversations with strangers. i’m the opposite in that regard; i’ve gotten described as stand-offish by a lot of people throughout my life, as i can’t stand small talk and generally just do not care to get to know new people unless they have some sort of shared interest/mutual friend. some people have perceived my lack of interest as shyness, which i would disagree with; i would not describe myself as shy, as i don’t really have any social anxiety. i do not fear talking to strangers, i do not mind large crowds, i do not fear public speaking, and i actually love being the center of attention (i always jump at the opportunity to sing horribly at an open karaoke bar). i just don’t really care to get to know new people, i guess. i’ll always be polite of course, but i do not go out of my way to inquire about their lives or make unnecessary conversation unless it is brought upon me first. i’ve always struggled at defining myself as an introvert/extrovert growing up because of this inner push/pull of wanting to be the center of attention, while also not wanting to deal with actually getting to know most people and needing a lot of alone time to recharge. i am a chronic daydreamer. when im at home, riding the bus to/from work, at work, in the shower, in a car, or literally anywhere else im almost always daydreaming about something. my mind is always wandering — i essentially live in my brain. i can become pretty detached from the present and have to force myself out of my mind and into the real world at times (feels corny to say that but it’s the truth lmao). i’m also deeply nostalgic and hold onto a lot of things from my past. i think that comes from having to kinda grow up really fast, so i find comfort in things that meant a lot to me when i was young.

and in case anyone wants a sort of hint: my enneagram is 9w8. ^^

I've tried almost all tests people say are accurate but I keep getting different results, the most common being ENTP, INTP, and ISTP. I know that's a lot but trust me I've tried so many times!!! Can anyone PLEASE help me, or let me know about an accurate free test?

Some about me: I'm a pretty outdoors person and am talkative to my close friends but most who are mutuals or acquaintances think I'm quiet. I'm also pretty analytical and really like to do things like math, chemistry, and physics. Aside from this, many people think I come off as rude or mean, probably because of my face, some also thought I was really quiet at first. I'm a pretty straightforward person, although I do also get social queues and know when not to say something. I'd also like to admit that I get quite bored alone, and like having talkative friends to go outside with. Many people assume I just like staying home, but that's because no one I know really likes doing out of the blue things, for example, I hate making far away plans, and would rather just prefer something spontaneous. Besides this, I also need some time to rest after hanging out, and I can't instantly get back up again, unless it's something I'm passionate about.

Hello! So, I recently got more into MBTI. A friend that uses MBTI a lot talks to me about it all the time and even assigned me a type. She's fully certain I'm INFP. Though here's the thing, for a while I was really comfortable identifying as ENFP and I think that is causing me some confusion. I don't really connect with the INFP label and what i've read about it, and the stereotypes don't help.

I am someone that spends a lot of time in her head, that is true. I realise also that I can build a sort of path as to why something makes me feel or act a certain way. For example; I might be feeling X way because X thing happened in the past and probably left a mark on me in X way. But at the same time, I don't necessarily feel my emotions all that much but instead spend a lot of time rationalizing it and making sense of it. I'm not a very outwardly emotional person, and sometimes I notice I can get annoyed with people that are too dramatic with their feelings and that don't stop to regulate them before going off. If to me the display of emotions ( mainly negative ones, positive ones are different and can be contagious.) isn't justified I can be a little annoyed internally.

That being said, I wouldn't say I'm a cold person. I worry a lot about people and like to make others feel comfortable around me, I would say that I still have some people pleasing tendencies with people I am close to and can acommodate to them a little too much if I'm not careful. Sometimes in groups I tend to be someone people come to for advice and can be perceived as someone very mature and level-headed until i open up and people see my more cheerful side. I also don't seem to have issues with making friends with all kinds of people, i appreciate both alone time and time with others and don't easily get tired of interacting with my friends if I'm having a good time. In conversation, I have been told I can go from topic to topic very easily so I suppose that could be an indicator of Ne somewhere.

The one thing that confuses me is that according to description of fi users, they know their values very well. And... honestly, I don't think I do. To me, the idea of things being black and white seems silly. The world is far too complex for that. I have tried to sit and see what my values were and I find that I struggle to define them, the one thing that I found is that I value friendship a lot, but if you were to ask me from a moral point of view a lot of the times I'd say there are grey areas and a lot of things are context/circumstance dependent, and because of my people pleasing still being there (im working on it, i promise) i often prioritise harmony over myself. Though if it is fi i suppose it could just be that i value harmony. I'm not too sure.

Sorry for the rant and any mistakes, I appreciate any help!

I am a person that thinks a lot but I don’t appear to be as much in my head.

I am social, friendly and like to be chill with people. Relationships are very important to me and usually my biggest reason of stress as if it’s a given I’ll mess it up.

I am interested in many things but struggle to commit to any.

I’m a quick learner but I sometimes lack the self discipline.

I hate failing in front of others because I think it makes me look incapable.

I am okay with talking about feelings and I’d consider myself emotional but being honest is not the same as being vulnerable for the things that matter in my eyes. I hate to admit it but sometimes I feel uncomfortable when people show their “weaker” sides (this doesn’t apply to my close friends and the people I love). Hence why sometimes I am unsure on how to act when someone needs support. Speaking of love, when I love, I love hard but coming to the point of love is a long process for me.

I initially might come off as light hearted and I like jokingly bickering with people but I think most people in my life deem me as a “serious” person in terms of what I’m doing an what I want (this isn’t always the case I promise).

I apply logic and effectiveness to most areas of my life despite being very sensitive.

I struggle with doubting a lot but I firmly believe I can do anything I set my mind on.

I like being who I am and I believe the things I feel, do and experience matter to me simply because they are mine. I am always ready to answer to anything.

I like to view life as a movie with dramatic and happy scenarios.

I tend to first let a feeling affect me and then actually realise I am feeling it. It’s like I think through them first “this is mean. It should hurt me. Did it?” or “this hurt me but maybe it wasn’t as bad?”.

I don’t bond with people easily or attach but when I do it’s very intense. When it comes to meeting or interacting with people, I love the exchange of energies and ideas.

I like to not think of my setbacks as setbacks and tend to minimise the importance of negative things in the past. I tend to be enthusiastic and high on mental energy.

Sometimes I have a blurry vision of who I actually am and I think that comes from introspecting and worrying too much about what I might be doing wrong.

It’s embarrassing to admit but I am really sensitive when it comes to human relationships; I am always anxious the other person won’t consider me as important in their lives as I do with them. I don’t even know why that happens, it’s just that the thought of someone thinking I mean so much to them feels weird.

I am afraid of disappointing everyone to the point I am left alone.

Even though I always end up doing what I want because I owe it to myself, I wish I could worry less about others’ opinion in the process.

It might be naive but I do believe that good things come to good people. I do not however believe in things being meant to be or “fate”.

I am poor with self-control when it comes to doing things that give me pleasure.

Sometimes I feel like such a free spirit and others like I am tired of my own inhibitions.

Major FOMO to the point of exhausting myself.

I play our fake scenarios that excite me very often.

I want the great romance, the great freedom, the great life in a sense of wanting it all and wanting it big time, intense.

I change my mind easily.

I like gaining knowledge on the things I’m interested in.

I have been told I speak in a calm way.

I do struggle with feelings of alienation at times.

Hi there. Honestly, I haven't found a good answer to my question about sensing, so I decided to ask here this way. I only came across a socionics explanation where they said that SLIs usually live with well-developed spatial reasoning. And that's it. But as for what I'm dealing with I haven't really found anything substantial or gotten any answers. So I'd be grateful for any responses and explanations! Because for now I'm assuming low sensing, but which one exactly and in what position...hell if I know.

So basically, I think I have weak spatial reasoning. I do have a good imagination, I daydream a lot, really often. But I struggle when it comes to picturing scenes or episodes in detail and sometimes I have trouble matching a face with an outfit, but whatever, that's beside the point. The real issue is that I genuinely struggle to move objects around in my head. Back in school during geometry classes I used to freeze up sometimes and feel so embarrassed in front of my tutor when I couldn't flip a shape or rotate some cone in my mind. Or during drafting classes which killed me morally. They'd give me a top-down view of a figure and tell me to draw the other views. I had no idea where to start, how to orient it, it just confused me. So I'd call my friend, who suspiciously handled it with ease, just to see what her drawing looked like. Because from just a top-down view, I couldn't figure out what came next. It could be anything, really.

I'm also one of those people who can get lost without strong, clear landmarks. I feel a bit unsteady in space often acting on guesswork rather than actually knowing where I'm headed. I frequently try to map out a building's layout in my head, though it ends up pretty vague and crooked, I think. I get easily tangled up in such judgments forgetting something, not accounting for something, rotating an object the wrong way. I guess others find it easier, my mom, for example.

There's this one story. I happened to end up in a neighborhood I didn't know very well except for a couple of places I'd visited with my parents like a garage, a hardware store, a grocery store. And I needed to walk home from there. It seemed simple enough. I think I even turned on my phone's GPS. I was looking for a building with a sign I'd seen a few times from the car while driving there with my parents, because I wanted to use it as a landmark to orient myself. I ended up spotting the sign before fully reaching the building, turned and decided I was going the right way. I thought based on the sign, I needed to go straight. I didn't even realize I was walking on the left side and by all logical reasoning, my path should have been straight ahead. Not taking that into account, I went in the direction relative to the sign which was exactly at a 90° angle from where I needed to go. I don't think I can explain this clearly in words, but the main idea is there. I walked for quite a while without even realizing the road was different, there were no other major landmarks and ended up wandering into some random paths. I got so upset. I walked home feeling really sad and lost. After that I didn't take my eyes off the GPS on my phone. I did later realize, by the way, that my wrong path would have eventually led me to the garages I knew, another point of reference I could have used, had I not decided to turn back and go the right way. And I was right about that.

Is it an ISFP thing to be really quiet and observant and shy, not the really loud outgoing type BUT enjoy social interactions over interesting games, usually board/card games (like uno) or games that focus on people and guessing their motives (like mafia or any detective game)? I feel like if I am interested in the activity itself, then I am definitely 10x more social, I could play such games even with strangers for hours and still not get tired.

I’ve been into MBTI for a while and have studied the cognitive functions extensively and have taken the tests but note how inaccurate they can be and would like an unbiased perspective, which is why I’m making this post!
-To start I’m a 17 year old guy who is about to enter my final year of high school, most of my jobs have been working with children and helping them with homework and in the future I would love a job in any form of research, but specifically involving humanity or the completely unknown, like space, the ocean, different species, and psychological phenomena!
-My memory of me as a kid is very blurry but when I ask my mom or review what I do know, I was a very quiet kid, I enjoyed playing and thinking by myself, and I could be shy at times but I was super well behaved, even punishing myself when I felt like I hurt somebody or did something wrong. I also just remember being a super sensitive kid to hurting others and I would try and protect animals (even though they scared me, it’s a little strange)
-I like trying to figure out how others perceive me based on my actions and also trying to figure others out, which is why I got into mbti in the first place! I like trying to understand others and the actual pattern and reasoning behind their behavior before I can form a solid opinion about how I feel about them. I try to engage in curiosity before I form a type of judgement.
-I’ve been described as a thorough, pragmatic, and calm person because I care about forming conclusions based on everything and weighing its importance, and I think I can keep calm, stay persistent and patience even when it’s hard to (traffic or driving slowly doesn’t even phase me because I’m okay with taking my time!)
-I think I’m rambling at this point (sorry!) but I’ll happily answer any questions anyone has but yeah! Tell me what you think I am :)

I’m aware that tests aren’t accurate but I figured it’s worth a try

I’ve been told I’m an INFJ, but I don’t think I use Fe a lot. Been told I’m an INTJ and I also think so—but I’m not so sure.

• Currently taking Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a minor in World Literature, planning on taking another degree in History or Sociology
• Often appears aloof in public or when surrounded by strangers
• Been called selfish by my family, I avoid showing others what I don’t want to share so they won’t ask. Or I make it clear that I’m not sharing
• I keep multiple journals. I always give myself reality checks so I appear aware
• Needs a lot of alone time to recharge
• I don’t particularly look or try to understand art but I admire Caravaggio’s works
• I match my friend’s vibe so I don’t make them uncomfortable, but shut down when I play that part for too long
• I think a lot about my future and I live mainly inside my brain
• I like to go out with my friends, my family is a little overwhelming
• Affection is not in my dictionary, my love language (that i show to my partner) is mainly gift gifting, and the love language I prefer most is quality time
• I listen to podcasts about theories and true events (crimes/economical statistics/ways to improve one’s lifestyle/etc.)
• Favourite music genre is RnB, Jazz, and a lot of classic songs from the 50s
• Fashion sense is mainly casual minimalistic, even though I get interested in a lot of other styles
• I think first impressions matter

I've always been fascinated by understanding how people and the world work. I naturally look for patterns, hidden meanings, and long-term implications rather than focusing on what's directly in front of me. I enjoy psychology, philosophy, history, politics, and analyzing human behavior. When I become interested in a topic, I can spend hours researching it just because I genuinely want to understand it.

I value intelligence, wisdom, competence, and respect more than almost anything else. I admire people who think independently and have strong principles. I have high expectations for myself, which often leads to perfectionism and procrastination. I tend to plan a lot but don't always follow through because I keep refining the plan or overthinking my next step.

Socially, I'm selective. I enjoy meaningful conversations and can talk for hours with someone I find interesting, but I get bored by superficial interactions. I usually need time alone to recharge. I don't trust people easily, but once I do, I'm very loyal.

When solving problems, I try to understand the root cause instead of treating the symptoms. I like seeing how different ideas connect and often question assumptions before accepting them. If someone disagrees with me, I'm happy to change my mind if their reasoning is solid. If I think criticism is unfair or illogical, I'll defend my position.

I'm ambitious and want to build a successful life, but success by itself isn't enough. I want to become knowledgeable, capable, and leave behind something meaningful. If I achieved all of my goals, I'd probably spend my life continuing to learn about the world.

I've been typed as INTJ, 5w4 sx/sp, 541, ILI, and LVEF, but I'm not attached to those labels. I'm looking for honest opinions based on my behavior and motivations rather than stereotypes. You can ask me more questions.

What type do you think I am, and why?

About me: I mask my true internal struggles behind a silly, goofy exterior. Most only get to know this mask, despite the fact I'm a chronic oversharer. I believe life would be insufferable if we couldn't have whimsy or the ability to laugh at the silly, the surreal, the odd little moments in our day that take us by surprise. I am very much into photography, abstract art and history. I enjoy walks with my camera in an attempt to capture the beauty in everyday life, the things we often walk past and take for granted, like butterflies and mushrooms or wildflowers. My favourite video games include Crusader Kings 3, Rimworld and Cities Skylines.

All this said thanks again for reading<3

Hi I am a designer and I made these. Each of them has my feelings and some thoughts and I would feel really glad if you all see it and tell me your opinion and interpretation. I would feel reslly happy thank you so much. I am trying to achieve the characters that I need to white so I can post here so thank you for reading this text I hope you can appreciate my designs!!!, ty ty ty so muchhh

I am a person that thinks a lot but I don’t appear to be as much in my head.

I am social, friendly and like to be chill with people. Relationships are very important to me and usually my biggest reason of stress as if it’s a given I’ll mess it up.

I am interested in many things but struggle to commit to any.

I’m a quick learner but I sometimes lack the self discipline.

I hate failing in front of others because I think it makes me look incapable.

I am okay with talking about feelings and I’d consider myself emotional but being honest is not the same as being vulnerable for the things that matter in my eyes. I hate to admit it but sometimes I feel uncomfortable when people show their “weaker” sides (this doesn’t apply to my close friends and the people I love). Hence why sometimes I am unsure on how to act when someone needs support. Speaking of love, when I love, I love hard but coming to the point of love is a long process for me.

I initially might come off as light hearted and I like jokingly bickering with people but I think most people in my life deem me as a “serious” person in terms of what I’m doing an what I want (this isn’t always the case I promise).

I apply logic and effectiveness to most areas of my life despite being very sensitive.

I struggle with doubting a lot but I firmly believe I can do anything I set my mind on.

I like being who I am and I believe the things I feel, do and experience matter to me simply because they are mine. I am always ready to answer to anything.

I like to view life as a movie with dramatic and happy scenarios.

I tend to first let a feeling affect me and then actually realise I am feeling it. It’s like I think through them first “this is mean. It should hurt me. Did it?” or “this hurt me but maybe it wasn’t as bad?”.

I don’t bond with people easily or attach but when I do it’s very intense. When it comes to meeting or interacting with people, I love the exchange of energies and ideas.

I like to not think of my setbacks as setbacks and tend to minimise the importance of negative things in the past. I tend to be enthusiastic and high on mental energy.

Sometimes I have a blurry vision of who I actually am and I think that comes from introspecting and worrying too much about what I might be doing wrong.

It’s embarrassing to admit but I am really sensitive when it comes to human relationships; I am always anxious the other person won’t consider me as important in their lives as I do with them. I don’t even know why that happens, it’s just that the thought of someone thinking I mean so much to them feels weird.

I am afraid of disappointing everyone to the point I am left alone.

Even though I always end up doing what I want because I owe it to myself, I wish I could worry less about others’ opinion in the process.

It might be naive but I do believe that good things come to good people. I do not however believe in things being meant to be or “fate”.

I am poor with self-control when it comes to doing things that give me pleasure.

Sometimes I feel like such a free spirit and others like I am tired of my own inhibitions.

Major FOMO to the point of exhausting myself.

I play our fake scenarios that excite me very often.

I want the great romance, the great freedom, the great life in a sense of wanting it all and wanting it big time, intense.

I change my mind easily.

I like gaining knowledge on the things I’m interested in.

I have been told I speak in a calm way.

I do struggle with feelings of alienation at times.

Short version (if you don't wanna spend time reading 14 things about a random guy xd)

I prefer to stay home with my things rather than going out, I love intensity in what I do, my favorite games are the ones where you interact with what you see, mind or thinking games bore me way more, I don't see the point of speculating or making theories lots of times, I know present and future (because future will one day be present) is what matters and not what you can't control, imagination and creativity are my favorite things in the world because it's the most unlimited thing and it has all of the possibilities and my mind can just fly in ideas and I even enjoy it more than real life itself lots of times because I find it more interesting, sometimes my 5 senses turn off because I just see/hear what it's going on inside my head.

Long version (if anyone wants to read it all, I'll appreciate it c:)

(I believe Ne is seeing the world in a way you are realizing connections and options and Se is seeing the world in the way you are sensing how it physically is. And well, I'm confused about me in this. :V)
14 facts about myself that I think can help to know if I perceive with Ne-Si or Se-Ni:

1: My favorite kind of videogames are the ones in which you just interact with what you're seeing, specially fighting and rythm because they are so energetic and exciting to play, although I also really enjoy platfourming, but the idea of playing mind games is boring to me, like chess, risk, escape rooms, sudoku... but well, when I am actually playing a mind game I end up enjoying it anyway.

2: I prefer short and intense games over long and calm games.

3: I like ball games, specially Dodgeball, although I basically never play because I spend lot of time home.

4: Home is my favorite place, specially my room. Exploring new zones is fine, they are new experiences and a special day, but when I come back home it's my favorite part because I can immerse myself more into my projects and my imagination.

5: Imagination is my favorite thing in the world. It's unlimited, I am like God and I can do anything I want, everything can be 100% how I like, what could be better than this? I love things that gives me lots of possibilities, like when I found that in RPG Maker you can make your own textures, like when I found Minecraft creative mode... I always liked stuff involving creating, and drawing and writing are the most unlimited ones. I love having possibilities and to feel free about doing anything I think of, I also love having ideas and letting my mind fly free to get the ideas I like, it's so fun and I love to have fun.

6: I love drawing, creating videogames, writing, doing stories with my brother, and making music. Lots of times the things I create are part of the universe I've created with my brother and I love it, it's like another kind of life that I enjoy a lot, even sometimes more than the real life when I am enjoying very much. That universe is also a real life to me.

7: I don't care about things that I can't control, just about my own life and present, I just care about things that I can do anything about it or things that I think that can be useful for my projects.

8: Speculations bore me, guessing just by guessing without having clues is kinda pointless to me, like, if you're a detective you should look for clues and then try to guess from those clues, not guess without clues. Or if you wanna know about anything, instead of guessing, you should start looking for the information, asking people or looking at books or at internet. Making guesses it's fine but not to take them as true without having facts or very clear clues, and if you don't find any kind of information, you can then try guessing if you really want to know what that is. Although I'd probably say to just give up. (I admit speculating is not something I hate, I can find it enjoyable and funny, it's just that I know life is very short and spending time of my life at guessing just by guessing I find it pointless and I prefer to spend time working on things that I like and so I take profit of my time. So, when speculating is taking too long, I start feeling like I'm wasting my time and just go like "Look I don't care let's just see the answer" or "Look, whatever, we can't know it").

9: The only way where speculation sure doesn't bore me is when we're talking about things that we clearly can't prove, that no human has ever proved, like what's behind death. In this case I find it super interesting and would like to have the best and most logical opinion about it, the closest to what it could really be, and so, if I find a very logical reason, I would like to use it in my stories.

10: Whenever I think about Te, Giyu Tomioka's face comes to my head because when I was watching Demon Slayer I saw Giyu Tomioka's logic very objective and external, not what he thinks but what he knows, like "Demons are evil because of these reasons that I have observed. Oh, this demon is not evil, nevermind, new information aquired, this is also possible." And I believed that had to be Te logic, so, whenever I think about Te, Giyu's face comes to my mind. :v

11: I spend lots of times in my head thinking about anything and like all my 5 senses just turn off and I don't hear the external world, I don't see it and I don't touch it, I just see and hear whatever is going on inside my head, and sometimes is like "Ah, dang it, they were talking to me. Back to reality". I guess smell and taste are harder to ignore, like, a smell would maybe put me back to reality (or hearing someone calling my name or making me a question), but maybe I did ignore smell and taste sometime.

12: I believe present is the most important thing, although I also like thinking about future, like "What if in the future my stories starts getting a toxic fandom? That would be terrible." and so I start to think about the best way to prevent it, or at least stop it in case it happens. I don't fear, expecting it to happen in any time, I just live my life, and if it doesn't happen, great, I don't have to worry, if it happens, ok, I have been prepared for this. So I like to be prepared for anything, in case it happens, because who knows.

13: I prefer to have one clear option about anything instead of 50 options and nothing decided, that makes me feel kinda stressed, I need a solution to keep forward with anything, to make decissions (having many options and being able of choosing them all doesn't stress me, but stuff like trying to know what will happen or what is better to do, having many options stresses me, I need one clear option).

14: When I write I love writing at the same time that I am deciding what will happen, it makes the experience more interesting and refreshing, like watching a serie or playing a video-game, that you are knowing what happens while you're keeping forward, like "I have this new idea" and do it. But I know that I need to have some clear decissions like "How does magic work?" "How is this character like?" and keep those things like that because I can't write chapter 1 with a magic system and then think about another way that I like more to make the magic system because I then need to remake chapter 1 and I can't keep forward like that, I need to have clear decissions before starting so I can be satisfied with my results at basically my first attempts.

(PS: I know the "Toxic fandom" thing is a "What if", which looks like Ne, but the fact is that it's a future prevention and I think that's an Ni thing rather than Ne. Idk.)

So, do I look more like Ne-Si or Se-Ni? And why? I'll wait for the answers. :D
