And thanks from me too. That's what I am according to most tests I've taken, and almost all of what was listed in the 25 fit me well.

Are you INFJ @evalani290?

Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Answers The Question “What Do You Do When You Feel Down?”

INTJ

I listen to familiar music, drink good wine and take long walks in the park with my dog (not all at the same time).

I play strategy games.

I sleep, do puzzles, and lounge. Also sing Karaoke (alone of course).

I read books, sip whisky, and plot a new strategy.

I meditate or journal- a few rounds of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) works well too.

I either distract or plan: read, craft, cook, exercise (my longest running long term plan is to get fit) or plan a vacation to get myself back up!

I start a new project or whatever else will engage my brain.

I control myself and do not let the situation to control me in order to get up.

My type is INTJ and when I feel down, I spoil myself somehow (get something special to eat, take a long bath, get a new piece of clothing, get a new game/game for hours on end, go to the gym then the sauna, have a glass of wine and a cigarette..). Or sometimes I look for someone to talk to/take a walk with.

I read books, meditate, practice martial arts, and sometimes talk with my kalyana-mitra (Sanskrit for spiritual friend).

I sleep, vegetate or play a video game… basically whatever shuts that conscious part of my brain off for a while or distracts it.


ENFP

I encourage others, journal, read, or find something to celebrate!

I drinks with friends, be with people and good energy. That or listening to songs and have a crying bout. Right as rain after that!

I volunteer or help someone else – or go do something fun (in public) where I have to act cheerful and then I forget that I’m not.

I am an ENFP and when I feel down I usually remember that a lot of people feel like that too and I jump on my page and share something funny with my followers to pick myself (and them) back up! Or I become pretty introverted and just recite songs or write lyrics.

I run away from the crowd and think. Or go to a friend and talk about it over and over until I/we figure out the answers.

I’m the most awesome type (ENFP, of course ^_^) and when I’m down I vent to someone I trust or go play sports and run all my angst out.

I take a walk in a huge, populated park/ chat with a friend/ go on tumblr and scroll through psychedelic pictures of plants for a while.

I’m an ENFP and when I feel down, I go to Costco to pick myself up! Something about walking around aimlessly in aisles and reading nutrition facts on food that just relaxes me.

When I feel down, I ride motorbikes to pick myself back up! Not that I ever feel down though.

When I feel “down” I usually go on a trip/make an adventure to somewhere I’ve never been/ to do something I’ve never done, with friends and family, or alone to meet new people.

My type is ENFP and I am an ultra-sensitive empath who requires a lot of downtime for processing social interactions and renewing myself. For self-care, I rely on meditation, yoga, clean food, reading, listening to ambient trance music for hours alone at night, and long, luxurious baths with essential oils and DIY facial masks created from organic ingredients in my fridge, like Greek yogurt and raw honey.

I go buy something and then dye my hair.

I surround myself around with other people & talk to people, even if it’s to go to the coffee shop and sit amongst the customers I don’t even know. Energy from people recharges me.

I’m a ENFP and when I feel down I retreat into solitude and fantasy and make a world (with fae and without orcs).

I watch a movie I love and try to find the tiniest glimpse of a new idea/adventure and think about it.

I tend to wander aimlessly outside in crowded areas to gain mental clarity – or just go to the gym.

I’m an ENFP, and I have to receive a personal spiritual revelation to get perspective on my circumstances.

When I’m down I like to dance. Impossible to feel sad when dancing.

When I feel down I hang out with friends, exercise, and read research articles to pick myself back up!

I need to do some “fangirling” and I need to start loving people again to pick myself back up!

Depending on the variety of down, I either steal people away on random adventures, and/or pack a hookah and induce a cuddle puddle with close friends.

My type is ENFP and when down, I wait half an hour and forget about it.


ESFP


When I’m down, I usually host a game night and feed all my friends!

I go shopping and pamper myself.

I do yoga!

I like to find my group of friends and hang out with them and either play card games, go on an adventure or just talk or be with them. Usually just being in the presence of happy people whom I care about lifts my spirits.

I’m ESFP and I start messaging my friends hello to chat! Or I go on yikyak or something.

I’m an ESFP and when I feel down, I ask a friend if she wants to get dinner or do some type of fun activity. Or I ask my girlfriend to give me positive affirmations!

I’m ESFP and I invite friends over for movie night – and lots of food!


INTP


When I feel down I tend to isolate and to pick myself back up. I have more than one method – I’ll either binge watch a favorite TV show, read a good book or listen to music.

I isolate and analyze the situation/solutions. After the isolation period, I use upbeat music to get back out of my head and rejoin the world.

I listen to a lot of music and write occasionally when I feel down. Writing tends to churn out a solution to an internal problem after straight thinking and mental fixation take too long! Driving is also a very relaxing and freeing time to think and sort things out in my head.

Either have a 2-5 hour session googling random shit, or go on a bush walk.

I am an INTP, and when I am feeling down, I stay alone for a while, relax and try to think clearly. Music, television, games or reading something interesting also takes my mind off the tension.

I go outside and play with my dogs.

1. Obviously I would solve the problem that was causing me to be down but 2. Otherwise I would escape, escape, escape either into my bed or a book or a movie.

I go do something outside, preferably near water or in the woods.

Seconded on driving and writing. Walking: Solvitur ambulando. Caffeine. Nature. Isolated bubble baths with a fan on so I can’t hear any other noise. Reading.


ENFJ


What make me feel better is talking to my friends about their problems while having coffee with them. Or driving them around while they talk about their problems.

I’m an ENFJ and when I feel down I talk to my INFP wife about it and feel better.

I wish I could be better at fixing-myself-alone, but I am not, so my first reaction is spend time with people I love and trust. If that is not possible, my Se usually kicks me out, so I just go out and walk and usually sensory experiences will bring in a quiet meditation and inner peace.

I’m an ENFJ and when I feel down, I spend one on one time with a close friend and vent my issue (maybe over and over) to try and come up with a solution.

When I feel down I call my best friend cause she’ll usually come over and give me cuddles or a pep talk. When something is really, really bugging me I shut out people and go to the gym till Im usually sick – so I try and avoid getting to that level.

I read an outrageous novel with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s half-baked or meet a friend for dinner/movie.

I hang out with friends (…in the healthiest of scenarios. Sometime I order a pizza, watch Battlestar Galactica, and play tower defense games until I get sleepy).

My type is ENFJ and when I feel down I watch cartoons or read comics. About 99% or the times I feel sad it’s people related so I like to lose myself in some sort of utopia. Those fictional characters have the virtues I’m looking for in people so it comforts me.

I listen to disco music.

I go for a long walk with my Jack Russell, while listening to a book on cd. Preferably a Jan Karon novel.

I find friends having problems that I can try to help them with.


ISFP


Solo kitchen dance party!

I’m an ISFP- if I feel down I select one of the following: going for a drive, going shopping, listening to music, exercising, watching TV with a favorite snack, taking a nap, or writing in my journal. The common thread is that I do these things by myself.

I drink tea and photoshop.

I talk to the right people and/or do stuff from my bed.

I’m an ISFP and I look at pretty things on the internet (or if it’s sunny I try to force myself outside because once I’m out there I find that this is literally the BEST pick-me-up).

I crawl on the sofa, under my blanket with my favorite chocolate and video game, preferably alone or praying.


ISTJ


I’m an ISTJ and if I’m down, I’ll tackle a project or make a to do list to pick myself up.

I listen to music and read books (at the same time).

When I feel down I like to distract myself by listening to music, exercising, reading, or enjoying nature.

I’m an ISTJ and when I’m down I try to do something else productive like cleaning or getting work done.

I reassess my situation, over a cup of coffee with a very close friend (who either has the same logic as mine or different so I can get another insight) and plan on what I will do to overcome the situation.

I’m an ISTJ and I usually sleep or do art things such as drawing to pick myself back up.


ISFJ


I give myself some quiet, alone time, have a cookie, talk to a friend, or pray.

I like to either nap or take walk alone on beach. I also like to have a small piece of a favorite expensive chocolate to savor with a pot of tea.

First I’ll eat a good meal, then I’ll spend all of my time in private and meditate my thoughts on the problem and cry out the feelings. Sometimes I’ll vent all of my thoughts into a journal so I can read it later.

I spend one-on-one time with a safe friend, or do volunteer/ministry work.

I knit/crochet, journal, talk to my partner or closest friends, spend time in nature.

What makes me feel better is having nice drink and watching a favorite (usually funny) TV show, taking my dog to the park, or spending intentional time with a small group of friends.

My type is ISFJ and when I feel down I get in touch with my spiritual blessings or what I received from God and I also go outside and get in touch with nature to pick myself back up.


ISTP

I will isolate and go far away to the beach or for a drive.

I tinker with my aquariums, play racquetball with my brother, go fishing, sleep, plan which wine I could make next. All while drinking.

I go to work.


ENTP


I ride the hell out of my bicycle, and see where the road takes me.

I drink absinthe while reading a book, with classical music playing in the background, usually Rachmaninoff piano concerto #2. Or go do something random and spontaneous with or without anyone around.

I explore (ideas, environment, thoughts, or whatever is available).

I go out/drink (terrible response to stress, I know).

I’m an ENTP and I usually go on a random adventure with a close friend to pick myself back up. Like a road trip without an exact destination while geocaching on the way.

I sleep and watch trash TV.

When I feel down I jump on an indie music blog like indieshuffle and discover extremely new music that most people have never heard of then I go share said music w/ my mainstream friends … To make me feel better.

Whenever I’m down I sing and dance to loud music or simply go explore the great outdoors. Or simply watch sci-fi/comedy movie. Or meet someone. Or… or… or…

What makes me feel better is drinking and venting or vrinking if you will. Often to an ENFP who will provide me with shots and tough love.

My type is ENTP and when I feel down, I get out of the house and explore or I solve a new problem to pick myself back up!

When I feel down, I avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid… Until I can’t avoid anymore, then I shake myself awake go into hyper-overdrive-problem solving mode, get extremely unemotional, dry, determined, somewhat mean and uncaring, fix the problem that has me down to pick myself back up. Or sometimes I just put on lively music and force “the dance” to come forth.

I listen to stand up comedy.

To pick myself back up I need to have a challenge that is isolated from whatever’s getting me down. So like a strategy board game or an escape room or something along those lines. Also it’s better if its a social activity.

I get out of the house and onto the busy city street. Immediate uplift. I don’t like being isolated.


ESTJ


I workout. It helps me to work through the problems in my head, while burning off the stress/sadness and find a solution.

I have a really long quiet bath.

I have a variety of options but would most likely seek out something that helps a cause that I support. Helping others less fortunate quickly resolves my own situation.

I write out a plan.


ESTP


I make a trip to Target and make a few impulsive decisions (like buying my favourite ice cream)!



INFP


I’m an INFP and when I feel down I give myself time for introspection and writing.

I read self help books/blogs or watch romantic period drama TV series.

My type is INFP and when I feel down I pray about it, I talk to my husband to help process the feelings, and then I remind myself that no matter how crummy I feel if I just give it some time I will start to feel better and there is no way to force or rush the process. It always works.

I like to go to the beach alone!

My type is INFP and when I feel down, I watch I Love Lucy or British comedy or other funny movies/films to pick myself back up! Or I write out all my thoughts until I get out all the toxic feelings.

I listen to music, read a book or play “World of Warcraft” and when i’m really deep down I used to talk to my mother.

I run while listening to badass music….or else completely retreat and write piss-poor, gloomy poetry (They both work. The first one works faster).

I listen to music, bake bread and snuggle with my doggies.

I go on a long stroll with a loved one that leads to a long sit by the sea in silence, that ends with a long journaling session that helps put all the pain in proper perspective.

I drink tea, eat chocolate, and watch tv until I’m rested…but if I’m really in a funk, it’s volunteering or doing something creative that will pull me out!

I do mundane chores, take long walks, plan getaways, make playlists, swim, write, or find someone I trust to cuddle quietly.

I’m an INFP, when I’m down first thing would be to get some hugs from my niece and/or nephew since they’re usually good at brightening my mood, then find something to fix/work on (car/stuff around the house) or take my bike out for a ride (weather permitting).

I knit and binge watch sci fi.

INFP and nothing. I just observe my feelings and dwell into it, I don’t try to push them away and after some time they will pass and I will calm down like the ocean after a storm. Talking to another NF about my feelings is also helpful.


ESFJ


I listen to upbeat music, watch a movie/show I love, or talk with my loved ones.

I’m an ESFJ and I blast music in my car/home and sing my lungs out. If I can get a group of friends together to go karaoke, that’s even better!

I volunteer!

I focus not on helping someone else (working as a nurse is good for this)!

I normally seek my friends’ company to hang out and vent!

I hang out with my friends and have a cocktail.

I am ESFJ and I usually seek out my mum or sisters to talk myself better. Talking a brisk walk also helps.


INFJ


When I’m down I tend to either isolate until I’ve thought through the situation enough to come to a conclusion or call someone I trust with everything and talk to them until I feel better.

When I feel blue, I shed a few quiet tears alone, then I read the quotes made by the greatest people in the history of earth (or read their stories) and tell myself even though I might never get there, I must never stop trying.

I cry it out in a hot shower while possibly listening to sad music.

When I feel down I generally shut myself away from other people, listen to music or play an instrument and, if the problem is particularly severe and confusing, I’ll write out my thoughts so I can identify exactly what’s going on in my head. Or I’ll go for a walk with my dogs. I also rely heavily on my faith in God. All of that usually helps a good deal.

My type is INFJ and when I feel down, I read a favorite fantasy novel to pick myself back up.

When I’m down I like to think about the situation, listen to music and write affirmations, or talk with my close friends that I can trust.

I usually curl up with a good book. If I am just too severely down to even concentrate on reading, I’ll usually try isolate myself to just think about life and listen to very loud, powerful music. If the down-in-the-dumps attitude continues, I’ll either change my environment and go somewhere completely new or reach out to one of the few souls who know me well enough to make me come to my senses. It’s difficult to get out of a funk sometimes because I cannot make myself simply think about something else. When I get this way, i cannot simply allow myself become distracted. I suppose I’m a tad stubborn in that manner. I have to work through it, feel it, and then move past it with an improved mindset about whatever had me down.

I light a high quality scented candle or put on a favorite perfume.

I pray, take a walk in the woods, or write.

I either figure out the most rational way to fix the problem, or (if it can’t be fixed immediately) I find someone else who is struggling and overwhelmed, and help them the way I wish I could be helped. Keeps me from focusing on myself once it’s past the point of being helpful, and I get a second-hand mood boost.

Here are a few things I do: Swim in the sea, drink wine or tea with a close friend and analyze the situation, walk in the park with dogs, send snail mail to my family, write a letter to a friend.

I take a walk alone to a solitary place with a beautiful landscape and think.


ENTJ


I’m an ENTJ, and when I feel down I go out to a restaurant or café, or gym, and enjoy the company of others and the surroundings.

I do something physical, like skating or weights or organizing closets.

When I feel down then depending on the time available, I accomplish something small but significant or reassess my systems for accomplishing things so I can be more effective.

I volunteer or do something social and fun.

ENTJ here. I usually assess the situation and context, figure out where things fell apart, then put a plan together to address the problem. Talking things out with trusted friends helps. And sometimes just “sitting with it” and letting time do its thing is the best thing; this isn’t my natural tendency but it’s been a useful skill to learn.

I work more, or make a list of things to do (including fun things) and do it!

My type is ENTJ and when I feel down, I like to evaluate my life progress and make goal lists to pick myself back up! Or else anything productive.

I engage with people to re-energize.

I analyze the situation to figure out why I am down, what caused it. Then I research and read about it as much as I can so that it doesn’t happen again. When I am satisfied and confident enough that I have it under control, it’s all good again.

Here’s Which Drug You’re Most Likely To Enjoy Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

INFJ & INTJ – Psilocybin Mushrooms

Ni users are all about seeing the bigger picture and understanding how everything is universally connected. Mushrooms allow for an introspective high that focuses on the innate truths about the world that Ni dominant types so deeply crave to understand. This perspective-shifting drug allows the user to disconnect from many of their usual cognitive biases and examine the world through a new lens – which is incredibly attractive to the meditative INxJ types.

Mushrooms allow their user to experience a meaningful high without completely losing control, which appeals to the guarded nature of INFJs and INTJs. They may derive additional comfort from the fact that mushrooms are naturally occurring drugs, rather than synthesized chemicals. INxJs are all about keeping it authentic and mushrooms allow them to do just that.

ENFP & ENTP – Speed

Extroverted intuition is somewhat of a high in itself – but a high that lacks focus. Ne dominant types are constantly searching for a way to defy their physical needs and improve their follow-through on their many excitable ideas – and speed (or amphetamine) provides a shortcut to accomplishing both. ENFP and ENTP types are highly at risk of developing an addiction to this intense chemical combination that both strengthens their concentration and increases their energy levels.

Many Ne dominant types are prescribed Adderall (a pharmaceutical drug that contains amphetamine) as a method of concentrating their racing thoughts. Many others self-medicate with speed or its sister drug methamphetamine.

ISFP & INFP – DMT

DMT has been described as “The most potent psychedelic (drug) known to man.” This powerful hallucinogenic sends users on a short, solo journey that many describe as spiritual, ethereal and life-changing. For Fi users – who live for the process of extracting the deeper meaning behind unique experiences – DMT may be just the spiritual experience they’ve been searching for.

It has been theorized that DMT occurs naturally in the human brain and is released both during REM sleep and at the end of our lives. Anyone who enjoys trying to decode their dreams is likely to enjoy trying to decode their DMT trip – and Fi users are highly likely to enjoy finding the meaning behind both.

ESFJ & ENFJ – MDMA

Fe is all about feeling connected to others – and MDMA presents the chemical-based formula for just that. This classic rave drug heightens the user’s sense of joy, connectedness and empathy – three things Fe users already experience in abundance. ESFJs and ENFJs tend to appreciate the social aspect of this drug, which brings everyone out of their shell and allows an already close group of people to feel even closer. It’s basically a quick fix for what the Fe user is constantly striving for – to foster close connections and feel harmonious with those around them.

ESTJ and ENTJ – Cocaine

Extroverted thinking is all about getting shit done as efficiently as possible – and cocaine offers the elitist solution to doing just that. This highly addictive drug serves as the energy booster that allows these highly industrious types to get infinitely more work done in significantly less time. It’s no surprise that a noteworthy amount of Wall Street employees have run into trouble with the drug. It increases efficiency and offers a competitive edge – at least until its highly addictive properties take hold.

ISTP & INTP – LSD

Known as one of the most intense drugs on the market, nobody drops LSD unless they’re seriously interested in pushing the natural boundaries of their mind – and Ti users are notorious for wanting to do exactly that. Regardless of whether their introverted thinking is backed up by sensing or intuition, LSD has an allure for many Ti users. ISTPs enjoy the extreme visual and synesthetic effects of the drug, whereas INTPs tend to enjoy its contemplative nature – and both types take advantage of the opportunity to step outside of their regular mode of thinking and adopt a new way of analyzing the world.

ESFP & ESTP – Weed

Extroverted sensors are among the most ‘wired’ of all personality types – they are highly in tune with their external environments, to the point where the constant sensory stimulation can become overwhelming. Many Se users turn to weed as a method of calming their over-active senses and chilling out. It’s the anti-anxiety pill of the black market, and many smokers find the mere act of rolling and smoking a joint to be calming in and of itself. There’s something relaxing about the ritual, and if there’s anything Se users need to learn to do from time to time, it’s relax.

ISFJ & ISTJ – Alcohol

Si users are all about adhering to tradition – and alcohol is the most traditional drug of our time. North Americans have been legally consuming booze since the early 30s and don’t seem to have any intention of stopping. Si users are the most likely to appreciate the social rituals that revolve around alcohol – the venues we’ve created for it and the traditions that involve it. That being said, Si users are not prone to over-indulging in any drug – they enjoy maintaining control over their actions and usually find that one or two drinks is enough.

Here’s Which Bratty Behavior Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Needs To Check Themselves For

ENFP: Disappearing on people.

ENFPs have a lot of feelings but a short attention span – which means their feelings for other people tend to change quickly. Unhealthy ENFPs have the tendency to keep their options open at the expense of other people – they may string friends or love interests along while they consider their many options for romance or the future in general. And as soon as something new catches their eye, they are at risk of disappearing without warning and leaving a string of confused loved ones in their wake.

ENTP: Taking advantage of people.

ENTPs have a knack for quickly picking up on just what makes people tick. And in the unhealthy or underdeveloped ENTP, that knack can take a quick turn for the manipulative. This type knows exactly how to push peoples buttons to get what they want out of them – and they often aren’t concerned with how the situation plays out for the person they’re taking advantage of. This type needs to learn to reign in their manipulative tendencies before their bad behavior blows up in their face
.
INTJ: Assuming they have nothing to learn from others.

INTJs are incredibly knowledgeable – and they know it. Unhealthy versions of this type are prone to narcissistic tendencies, and may altogether refuse to listen to what anyone around them has to say – assuming themselves to be the only competent individual around. This type needs to remember that there are different forms of intelligence and they don’t possess them all. Chances are, they have a great deal to learn from those around them – even those they initially deem incompetent.

ISFJ: Unwarranted passive-aggressiveness.

ISFJs like to make others happy – and for that reason, they often feel uncomfortable expressing their own needs. Unhealthy ISFJs may harbor grudges against friends or acquaintances for years – feeling bitter about their needs going unmet, despite the fact that they never explicitly voiced them. This type needs to remember that their loved ones are not mind readers and that their passive-aggressiveness isn’t warranted until they’ve actually raised their concerns.

ESFJ: Gossiping.

ESFJs are interested in what people are doing. And unhealthy ESFJs are interested in judging what people are doing. No matter how juicy a particular piece of gossip may be, ESFJs have to learn when it’s simply time to bite their tongues. Many unhealthy ESFJs develop reputations for being warm in person but judgmental behind their friends’ backs – and that’s a reputation nobody wants.

ENFJ: Interfering with people’s personal lives.

ENFJs want nothing more than to help their friends make the choices that are best for them. And unhealthy ENFJs often do so by manipulating their friends to make the choice they believe to be right – regardless of what their friend wants. ENFJs need to remember that as emotionally intelligent as they may be, they need to let others make their own decisions. Getting caught meddling puts them at risk of losing the trust of their loved ones and making the entire situation worse than ever.

ESTJ: Lecturing others.

If ESTJs are anything, it’s self-assured. This type is confident in their worldview and tends to genuinely believe that they know what’s best for those around them – but that isn’t always the case. Unhealthy ESTJs lack the ability to recognize that their worldview doesn’t always translate for others – and that they have to be tolerant of other people’s choices, regardless of how illogical they may seem to them.

INFP: Holding others to unrealistic expectations.

INFPs almost always see the best in people. And unhealthy INFPs invent the best in people. This wildly imaginative type is occasionally guilty of embellishing someone in their imagination to the point where they become upset with the real-life version of said person for not living up to their imaginary ideal. This type needs to keep in mind that their fantasies don’t always match up to reality – and that sometimes they’re expectations for others can be a wee bit unrealistic.

INTP: Neglecting loved ones.

INTPs live predominantly inside their own minds. This type requires less social stimulation than almost any other type, and an unhealthy INTP may cope by shutting out other people altogether. INTPs need to ensure that during times of trouble, they aren’t failing to appreciate the people who stick by them. Their loved ones may feel neglected by their reclusiveness, interpreting it as a lack of investment in the relationship.

ENTJ: Coercing others into submission.

ENTJs are powerhouses. They are masters of pinpointing the most efficient way of getting things done – and occasionally, those ways of getting things done require the participation of other people. While a healthy ENTJ maintains and respects others’ boundaries, an unhealthy one may cash in on their manipulative tendencies and coerce others into acting in a way that serves them. This type tends to believe that the ends justify the means – which is effective in the best of times but morally questionable in the worst of times.

ESTP: Playing people to get what they want.

ESTPs are smooth talkers and charmers. They can talk their way in or out of anything and an unhealthy ESTP may take advantage of this ability. This type needs to remember that they’re accountable for everything they say while their charm is turned on – and that if they make a promise in order to get something they want, they’re still accountable for delivering on it.

ESFP: Chasing the spotlight at all costs.

ESFPs love to be the center of attention. This type thrives on entertaining others – and there’s nothing wrong with that! But an unhealthy ESFP is at risk of neglecting loyal friends and loved ones every time an opportunity for attention arises. They may flake on plans, drop commitments and even fail to be there for friends in times of need if they perceive a greater opportunity for validation. This type needs to remember that attention is fleeting but long-lasting relationships are not.

ISFP: Avoiding necessary confrontation.

Healthy ISFPs know that as much as they dislike confrontation, it’s occasionally necessary to iron out conflicts that arise within a relationship. Unhealthy ISFPs, on the other hand, would rather throw out the entire relationship than let someone know that something they did offended them. ISFPs need to keep in mind that sometimes ironing out conflicts is a necessary evil – and that avoiding confrontation often only aggravates a situation.

ISTP: Unwarranted grouchiness.

ISTPs need a lot of time to process things internally. And if that time gets interrupted, unhealthy ISTPs have the tendency to respond grouchily towards whoever interrupted their train of thought – even if they did so entirely innocently. This type needs to remember that it wouldn’t kill them to fake social pleasantries from time to time, even if they’re not really in the mood.

ISTJ: Assuming moral superiority.

ISTJs are incredibly principled individuals – they take their duties and commitments incredibly seriously and appreciate when others do as well. In unhealthy ISTJs, however, this sense of duty can manifest as a moral superiority complex – the ISTJ may decide that others are morally corrupt and fail to understand that their own system of morality differs from those of others. This type needs to keep in mind that their own version of right and wrong is the only one they have control over!

INFJ: Pretentiousness.

INFJs are a generally misunderstood personality type – they make up less than 1% of the population and aren’t easy to get to know well. And unhealthy INFJs are thoroughly pleased with being misunderstood. They may use their uncommon nature as a means of belittling others for lacking their depth or analytical abilities, or as an excuse for looking down on the more common types. INFJs need to remember that rare is not synonymous with superior, and that every type is fundamentally misunderstood in some way.

And thanks from me too. That's what I am according to most tests I've taken, and almost all of what was listed in the 25 fit me well.

Are you INFJ @evalani290?

Yes i am but they've been more fitting in the last year or so. 14 cracks me up, i've done that.

14 cracks me up too. I haven't gone quite that far with my thinking about the possible future, but enough to say I can relate to it. 🙂 Good material for a comedy sketch about first dates!

ENFP here. One day, I may find another website where I focus more than DXPNET and up and leave.

Are there any sites that you've found already that you're considering switching to?

ENFP here. One day, I may find another website where I focus more than DXPNET and up and leave.

Are there any sites that you've found already that you're considering switching to?

Thanks! I will check that out for sure!

Update: looks good from what I'm seeing so far. Looking forward to reading more there. 🙂

What Each Myers-Briggs Type Does When They’re Angry (And What They Should Do Instead)

ISFJ

What they do: Holds their anger in, convincing themselves that they can just get over it, but then lets it out subtly, in passive-aggressive bouts.

What they ought to do instead: Communicate their hurt to the opposite party and brainstorm ways to avoid repeating it in the future.

ENFP

What they do: Attempts to look at things from the other person’s point of view and if it’s not what the ENFP would do, shames the other person for their way of handling the situation.

What they ought to do instead: Ask the other person to explain their side of the situation and try to understand the intent behind their actions.

ISFP:

What they do: Holds in their anger and avoids the person they’re mad at, possibly for the rest of their lives.

What they ought to do instead: Explain to the opposing party why their feelings were hurt and then ask to hear their side of the situation.

INTJ:

What they do: Decides the person they’re mad at is incompetent and ices them out.

What they ought to do instead: Let the other person know that they’ve upset them but that they’d like to hear their side of the situation and to determine a solution to the conflict.

INFP:

What they do: Retreats to analyze the situation and determine whether or not they are overreacting. May give the silent treatment to the person they are upset with in the meantime.

What they ought to do instead: Before retreating, tell the person they are upset with that their feelings have been hurt and that they require some alone time to process the situation.

ENTP:

What they do: Attacks the other person’s deepest weaknesses and insecurities, either through a series of subtle insults or all at once in a fit of blind rage.

What they ought to do instead: Consider what role they played in the situation and then explain their point of view to the opposing party and ask for theirs.

INFJ:

What they do: If slightly angered, retreats and ices out the opposing party. If deeply angered (this is rare), will use every one of the other person’s weaknesses against them until they have completely psychologically undermined them.

What they ought to do instead: Communicate openly with the person they are angry with in order to find a solution, rather than letting it reach a breaking point.

ENFJ:

What they do: If slightly angered, retreats to analyze the situation. If greatly angered, attacks the opposing party with cruel personal truths about him or her.

What they ought to do instead: Recognize the subjective nature of their anger and keep an open mind to the opposite party’s point of view while discussing the issue.

ISTJ:

What they do: Oscillates between ignoring the person they’re angry with and directing subtle yet cruel/belittling comments their way.

What they ought to do instead: Ask the person they’re upset with to explain their point of view – and then share their own in a non-confrontational manner.

ISTP:

What they do: Ignores the actual person they’re mad at and engages in a sensory experience that takes their mind off the issue (I.e. Drinking, fighting, exercising).

What they ought to do instead: Find a healthy physical outlet for their anger (I.e. exercise) and then find a solution to the problem that initially angered them.

INTP:

What they do: Ignores their anger for years at a time until they eventually snap unexpectedly and spew snarky insults about the opposing party’s intelligence.

What they ought to do instead: Take note of when and why they’re feeling angry, rather than pushing it down, in order to avoid outbursts.

ESFP:

What they do: Yells, cries and makes a scene – and then de-escalates quickly and apologizes.

What they ought to do instead: Take a moment to consider how they ought to best communicate their point of view – and then calmly let the opposing party know that their feelings have been hurt.

ESTJ:

What they do: Impatiently barks orders at others and shames them for their way of doing things.

What they ought to do: Consider how their reaction to a stressful situation may impact their relationship with those around them and come up with a more effective measure of communicating when under stress.

ESFJ:

What they do: Forgives the indiscretion in the moment but then never, ever forgets about it.

What they ought to do: Learn to process feelings of hurt and betrayal as they occur, in order to let them go and move on from past hurts.

ESTP:

What they do: Feels an intense physical reaction and lets it out by confronting others and/or punching/smashing an inanimate object.

What they ought to do: Find a constructive release for their physical energy (I.e. exercising or meditating) so that they can take a step back from their anger and focus on the problem itself.

ENTJ:

What they do: Turns cold and calculating, then takes down the opposing party’s argument with a single well-timed phrase or action that gets the ENTJ their way.

What they ought to do: Withdraw to process their feelings on the conflict rather than immediately strategizing a way to ‘win’ it.

Here Is Which Workout You Should Try Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

INFP: Yoga

You’re in touch with your spiritual side and you need a form of physical exercise that mirrors that. Various disciplines of Yoga allow you to challenge yourself in various mental and physical ways. You enjoy the chance to disconnect from the never-ending ‘noise’ of everyday living and retreat to a calm, quiet environment where your mind and body feel in synch – and yoga offers the chance to do just that.

ISFP: Dog Surfing

You heard that right. It’s a new workout that’s sweeping the nation that combines all your favorite things – interaction with nature, physical exhilaration and your favorite adorable pet. While the majority of dog surfing competitions involve the human controlling the board, some disciplines of the sport allow the dog to surf alone – just make sure your pet doesn’t get so good that you get ousted as their surf partner!

ESFP: Zumba

You’re a ball of energy and enthusiasm and you need a place to let it out! Zumba offers a fun, social form of exercise that brings out the absolute best in you. It’s impossible not to smile while you’re cha-chaing across a dancefloor with a group of other enthusiastic dancers who are there to let loose and have fun!

ESTP: Any Team Sport

Let’s be honest – you’re a natural when it comes to just about every form of athleticism. And you’re as socially dominant as you are physically. Picking just about any team sport that exists is going to put you on the fast-track to success – you’ll pick up the nuances of the game and then you’ll pick up the nuances of the team. Your rapid-speed reaction time and your ability to analyze the opposing team’s strategizes are a killer combination.

ENTP: Base Jumping.

You’re attracted to the unusual, the impressive and the extreme. BASE jumping offers all of these things rolled into one surreal yet incredibly dangerous sport. Every jump offers a new set of challenges – and we all know you love a challenge.

ENFP: Adventure Racing

Your relatively short attention span means you struggle to commit to just one form of exercise – and with adventure racing, you don’t have to. This multi-disciplinary form of racing keeps you training for various sports simultaneously – every race provides a unique new challenge for you to rise to.

INTJ: Martial Arts

You are all about precision, self-improvement and optimizing both your mental and physical energy. Martial arts allow the opportunity for you to engage all of these desires simultaneously. You can narrow down the Martial Arts discipline that appeals to you and then capitalize on your mental prowess with this strategy-focused form of exercise.

INFJ: Cross-Country Running

Any exercise you engage in must have a highly mental component to it – and what people don’t realize about long-distance running is that it’s a highly meditative sport. Being out in nature sooths your mind and allows you to get in touch with your thoughts in a clear, uncluttered fashion. You can disconnect from the noise of everyday living and experience a pure physical release that refreshes your mind and your body alike.

ESTJ: Rowing

You’re naturally inclined toward team sports – specifically, ones that require endurance, precision and cooperation. Rowing offers the opportunity to demonstrate your own physical strength alongside a group of similarly disciplined athletes who value perseverance and cooperation as a means of dominating the competition. Because let’s be serious – the participation medal isn’t going to cut it for you.

ESFJ: Sailing

You enjoy getting acquainted with the technical aspects of a sport that also allows you to be social and enjoy yourself. Sailing engages you with nature and often provides you with a community of likeminded people who want to come together to enjoy a physical challenge!

ISFJ: Scuba Diving

Your ideal physical activity involves being in nature, learning new technical skills and engaging in some much-needed quiet time. And is it ever quiet underwater! Scuba diving is a sport that requires a high degree of precision and the ability to make smart, informed decisions in the moment – both of which you are adept at. Plus the breathtaking beauty of the world underwater leaves you feeling refreshed each and every time you submerse yourself.

ISTJ: Cross-Country Skiing

Your ideal sport is strategic, focused and independent – allowing you to take full responsibility over your workout. Cross-country skiing allows you the chance to disconnect from the world around you and fully indulge in the sensory aspects of the sport. You can clear your head by getting out in nature and consistently push your own physical limits – something that someone as self-disciplined as you is able to focus on without external encouragement.

ISTP: Mountain biking

You’re an adventurer through and through – and you answer to no one but yourself. Mountain biking allows you the opportunity to get out in nature and explore at your own will. You enjoy the meditative quality of the sport – but your quick reaction time also makes you a natural at it, should you ever decide to go competitive.

INTP: Mountaineering

You prefer mental exercises to physical ones – but if you are going to engage with the physical world, you want to do so in a way that challenges and stimulates you. Mountaineering provides a constantly changing landscape with new challenges to be overcome left, right and center. It’ll keep you focused, engaged and on your toes – literally and figuratively.

ENTJ: Chess Boxing

Yes, you read that correctly. Chess boxing tops the list as one of earth’s most bizarre sports, combining the mental challenge of chess with the physical challenge of boxing. For the ENTJ, who wants to be the Alpha of every discipline, this sport gives them a chance to show off both their mental and physical dominance. Win-win.

ENFJ: Indoor Cycling

Let’s cut to the chase – you have people to see and places to be. You need a workout that is challenging, intense and social all at once. You enjoy exercising in a clean, organized environment where you’re engaged with a group but still have control over how much you’re pushing yourself physically. Cycling ticks all those boxes and doubles as a convenient activity that you can fit into your lunch break.

Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Answers The Question ‘Which Type Would You Rather Be?’

ENFP

ENFPs provided a wide range of responses, but predominantly wished to switch to either INFJ or a slightly different version of their own type.

“I love being an ENFP. I wouldn’t trade! But if I HAD to choose, I’d want to be an INFJ, it would be like I was just turned inside out, and had more structure to my life.”

“I’m an ENFP. I wish to be a more self actualized ENFP. Which is probably very ENFP of me.”

“I would love to be an ENTP. I love my extraverted intuition but would rather have it paired up with thinking instead of feeling.”

“#TeamENFP alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day/life long baby!! Would not want to be another type, but I would like to be a bit taller and have staff and a trust fun and maybe a pet monkey. But one of the NICE monkeys that doesn’t fling its own feces.”

“I wish I were an INFJ because I wish I could structure my dreams and visions in such a way as to make them a reality… And I also wish I had the wherewithal to stick to my convictions and see things through like an INFJ.”

“ENFP here. I wont trade it for any other type. No disrespect though, it’s just that I love being crazy!”

“I wish i could be an ENTP, but i guess i wouldn’t have as much fun. No matter how much being an ENFP is exhausting, its still a lot fulfilling and fun.”

“I wish I was less turbulent and more balanced and organized. If I could choose my type it would be INFJ, for several obvious reasons. They are very inspirational and focused.”

“I’m an ENFP and I wouldn’t change it for a billion bucks, flaws and all! I love and appreciate all other types but I’m pretty sure I would be bored to tears living in any other’s skin. There’s a system in my chaos and I love every bit of it.”

“ENFP, and I wish my type was Carly Rae Jepsen’s ENFP.”

INFP

Of all the types who answered, INFPs provided the most varied responses. The majority wished to be either a thinking type or an ENFP. Others didn’t like the idea of being defined by a type at all.

“My type is INFP and I wish my type was INTP because I wish my decisions were more thought based. Plus I just think INTP is like the coolest type.”

“I’m an INFP, and I really love being my type. However, sometimes I wish I was more like an ENFP, allowing myself to be more outgoing and willing to outwardly demonstrate my inward enthusiasm.”

“I wish I were ESTP, they just go go with the flow.”

“Sometimes I wish I were an xTJ so I’d have a more consistent view of the world. Being open-minded helps me empathize with people, but it also causes me to have frequent existential crises, which make me emotional, and I hate being emotional.”

“I wish to be an INTJ sometimes… because I want to be even-headed at work.”

“I like being an INFP, but in some moments I wish I were INTP or INTJ because it’s really just exhausting dealing with all of these sensitivities and emotions ALL the time. INFP requires a lot of emotional and spiritual maintenance to feel balanced, and sometimes finding direction is difficult.”

“I wish I was an ENTJ. I would accomplish my business goals so much faster, and wouldn’t have to deal with introverted feeling.”

“INFP here, wish I was an ENFJ because I’d rather be a real extrovert and more Oprah-like. Or an ISFP so I don’t daydream so often, both types seem to get more done.”

“I’m INFP and wish I was ENFP because although I love all the passion and craziness that we both share, I feel a wall blocking me from acting the way that I feel. I think ENFPs have way more fun!”

“INFP…I wish I didn’t have a type.”

INFJ

INFJs were split almost evenly down the middle of wanting to be either an INTJ or an ENFJ.

“At times (when I am in my analytical mode, pissed from the world), I wish my type was an INTJ instead, because they have an easier life, and they don’t care about the world. When seeking socializing, I wish my type was an ENFJ, because they have much energy and will power to finish the goals.”

“I’m an INFJ and I don’t want to be anything else. If I HAD to, I’d choose INTJ, because the ones I’ve known were pretty darn great people.”

“INFJ, and I both love and hate it for numerous reasons. I don’t have a particularly strong preference for Feeling over Thinking, so I won’t say INTJ. I think if I had to choose, I’d pick ENFJ because being an extroverted type would make interaction so much easier and I’d feel a lesser feeling as though I’m dying after being around too much for too long.”

“I wish to be an INTJ. I have too many emotional bursts which puts me in a bad situation…”

“I wish I were more extroverted, so I’d rather be an ENFJ I guess.”

“I’m an INFJ and I wish I was INTJ because I appreciate their introverted intuition and extraverted thinking combination that allows them to reach what ever goal they set to themselves in this life.”

“I’d rather be an INTJ. I wish that I could be less emotional and think in cold hard facts. INTJs are very smart, which I wish I was. I also would like to make more sense to other people and to myself.”

“I’m an INFJ. I often wish I was an INTJ to be able to structure things more. Or an INTP to be able to focus on ideas and not be so distraught by all the emotions of people. Or when I’m feeling really burned out, I wish I was a go-with-the-flow ISTP.”

“INFJ and I love it, but if I had to choose a different type, it would be ENFJ. Being a little more extroverted could help me in a few areas of my life…”

“INFJ. And i love my type. BUT i can be so emotionally pedantic – fighting for justice and all that and it tires me out terribly. Think I could’ve managed better if I was ENFJ.”

ENFJ

ENFJs almost exclusively desired to stay the same or switch to INTJ.

“ENFJ and I am happy right where I am.”

“I wish I were an INTJ sometimes. I’d like to be more logical.”

“ENFJ I don’t wish for anything different. I like who I am.”

“I wish I was a TJ… I just have a lot of feelings…”

“I am an ENFJ and wouldn’t want to be any other type!”

“I’ve gradually become ok with who I am, but I wish I was INTJ on days where it feels easier to not be so reliant on connecting with others for energy and purpose – whether because I’m just too exhausted from going out the past 5 days straight, or because I’m temporarily jaded by how unreliable and, at times, undeserving people are.”

“ENFJ and I wouldn’t change a thing!”

“I am an ENFJ but I think I have a tendency to compare myself – and feel lacking in comparison to – INTJs. It’s something I’m working on.”

INTP

The INTP answers were all over the board, showing only a slight preference for xNTJ types.

“I wish I was more INFPish sometimes, to be more expressive of how I feel instead of getting all logical about it!”

“I’m an INTP. I’m actually good with that type. Sometime I wish I were more energized by being around other people.”

“If I had to pick another type it would be ISTP because most of my favorite film/novel/video game characters are this type.”

“Why would I “wish” to be anything else— Besides, I can morph to become others when context requires it.”

“Love my type. No desire to be anything else.”

“I’m an INTP. Sometimes I wish I was an ESFJ.”

“I wish I were anything with an E.”

“I like my type, in very rare circumstances I wish to become ENTJ.”

“INTP and i’m already content with my type. Although if i do need to “wish”, i’d probably choose ENTJ/INTJ for their Te and keeping my NT-ness.”

“Well, I’m rather content with my type, or not, I’m not quite sure. What I wish for, however, is that I acquire that drive to get things done, just like the majority of ENTJs.”

INTJ

Almost every INTJ who responded would either keep their type or change it to ENTJ (but only for practical purposes, of course).

“INTJ ergo INTJ.”

“I’m happy to be an INTJ. But I often strategically masquerade as an ENTJ in situations when I think it will be useful or helpful or advantageous.”

“INTJ and I am proud of my type. I think it’s the best type. But that’s just like an INTJ, now isn’t it?”

“I like my type, I just wish others were more accepting of who I am.”

“I wish my type to be ANTJ. So as being an Ambivert. Though it does not mean my dominant function won’t be Ni. I love my Ni.”

“I’m INTJ and I wish I was ENTJ. INTJs a lot of times have amazing skills and great potential for success, but sadly they’re not extroverted enough to make the connections to get better jobs. We’re secretly jealous of ENTJs because we believe we work harder and more diligently, but they get all the glory and power.”

“I’ve always been glad to be an INTJ, and would not change it. Having said that, if I had to choose another? Probably ENTJ…it would be nice to implement all these fascinating strategic ideas with a much more animated spirit. Yet ENTJs have weak Fi…which can make them emotionally unstable (at times)…so that may be a dealbreaker.”

“I think I would prefer to be an ENTJ just because I agree that extroverts have an easier time in the world (not constantly having to answer ‘whats wrong?’ when there is nothing wrong, for instance)…but I wouldn’t trade the NTJ for anything!”

“I wish that I was a type that could emote a little more, or at least recognize others’ emotions more easily.”

“I am pretty much content with the way i am, but I tend to look up to ENTJ’s sometimes. I just hate socializing sometimes.”

“I have occasionally wished that I could be an ENTJ, but frankly the pros do not out weigh the cons.”


ENTJ

ENTJs basically just wanted to be be themselves on steroids.

“I like my type so I’m gonna stick with ENTJ.”

“I’m an ENTJ… cannot improve on perfection!”

“I’m an ENTJ and I’m very much happy with that.”

“ENTJ always striving to be a better ENTJ!”

“I love the idea of being an INTJ but ideally I’d like to just be a stronger ENTJ.”

“ENTJs are perfect as is… wouldn’t have it any other way!”

“Being an ENTJ is the best! I am en[t]joying myself!”


ENTP

ENTPs couldn’t decide between ENTP and ENTJ and most simply concluded that they’d like to be both at the same time.

“I wish I were an ENTJ so i could get things done and actually stick to goals and have a direction of where I’m going.”

“I wish I were born as an ENTJ or at least a “more schedule oriented and organized” ENTP.”

“Let me be an ENTJ. Dat follow through tho..”

“I’m an ENTP – I wish I was anything or anyone more reliable than an ENTP. But I’d like to keep my ability to see all the possibilities, if that’s ok.”

“If I were not an ENTP, I would not be me, So I shall remain an ENTP.”

“Wish I was ENTJ so I’d be more focused, organized and independent. But then again I’d probably miss being a P, as it grants me a certain open mindedness and spontaneity that many ENTJs lack.”

“I sometimes imagine that having a better developed J tendency might make life a little more structured….but couldn’t really be arsed with it in retrospect.”

“As I consider being any other type, I’m reminded of how each one annoys me in their own special way. ENTPs really are the best, don’t you think?”

“I am an ENTP I wish I was a different Rational or a guardian. It seems that life wouldn’t be so random and exhausting and I could focus on goals and finish what really mattered in life.”

“ENTP! The way the world needs me!”

ISTJ

ISTJs showed no consistent trends other than disliking the ISTJ stereotype.

“ISTJ — sometimes wishing I was an ESFP instead!”

“I strive to be more like ISFJ, as I think my logical brain could use more feeling. I want to be a more loyal and generous person, and I’d like to create an orderly and harmonious environment at home and at work.”

“I’m an ISTJ and I’d wish to be the more daring, careless, outgoing ESTP.”

“We don’t do change. Though being an INTJ would come in handy sometimes.”

“I just wish more people were also ISTJs so I could hang out with them!”

“ISTJ and mostly content with it. It’s only when I read the descriptions of ISTJ that I wish I were something else that seemed a little more exciting to onlookers. From the perspective of living it, it’s fine, but when you read how other people describe ISTJ, it sounds completely boring and unimaginative, which it is NOT. If anything, I wish I didn’t get so overwhelmed by heavy social interaction because I really do like people.”


ISTP

ISTPs were sparse responders, but pretty happy with themselves on the whole.

“I’m an ISTP. I wish I were an INTJ so I could be super smart and confident.”

“ISTP and cool with it.”

“ISTP and liking it. If I had to switch, then maybe INTP. They seem really fun.”

“An occasional infusion of more J is welcome. Otherwise, wouldn’t change my Artisan life for anything!”

ESTP

ESTPs weren’t particularly responsive.

“I fluctuate between ESTP and ISTP. I wish my type was one that isn’t so impulsive.”

“I’m an ESTP, and I sometimes with I had more “N.” I love the cleverness of ENTPs and wish I could navigate theories and concepts more easily.”

ESTJ

I received no ESTJ responses – presumably because they were off actually living their lives and accomplishing things.

ISFJ

The majority of ISFJs wished to be extroverts.

“I’m an ISFJ and most days I’m content with my type but occasionally I wish I was an ESFJ instead so I could express myself more easily.”

“Mostly I like being an ISFJ… social situations not being physically exhausting would be nice though.”

“I’d rather be anything E. Being bored and alone but convinced you’ll be miserable in a crowd is miserable.”

“It would be nice to be an ESTP and not have to care so much.”

“I’m ISFJ and I wish I were INFJ or INTJ. I want to be open to ideas and also independent of others. I’m also tired of my feelings getting in the way but I love being expressive at the same time.”


ESFJ

ESFJs across the board wished that they could take a break from their feelings!

“I’m pretty sure I’d like a type that can find more love and validation internally, rather than just relying on other people to validate me.”

“I mostly like being an ESFJ, but maybe an ESTJ? Life might be easier if there weren’t so many “feelings” going on.”

“I’m ESFJ and often wish I was an ISFJ or ESTJ. Leading Fe is painful sends me down a constant roller coaster of emotion. While I love my Fe (it helps me create art and relate to those around me), it can be a little much to deal with at times. I’m easily hurt, which makes me hesitant to trust others. I often want to spare myself (and others) the pain and deal with problems by myself. But that’s not how it works. I need people.”

“I’m an ESFJ who struggles with the ‘feels’ that go with being a type that just can’t seem to separate emotions from decision-making. It would be nice to happier without others around too.”


ISFP

ISFPs were as mysteriously sparse in the responses as they are in real life.

“I’m an ISFP, and generally it’s my jam, but I do get frustrated with how instinctively reserved I am. It’d be fun to try on a life-of-the-party type, like ESFP.”

“I’m ISFP. I feel pretty good about being my type. I think we get more crap than we deserve. I would rather be an ISFP with a more developed Te. Then I wouldn’t bellyache about my visually cluttered house. It’d be clean instead!”

ESFP

Though the occasional ESFP wished for an N or a J, they were mostly satisfied with their type.

“ESFP and proud, and I wish we were analyzed more for strengths other than being adventurous. The only thing I’d change is that I wish I had the ability to sit down and focus on work for a while when I need to.”

“I’m an ESFP and I am absolutely loving and contented with my type! Not gonna wish for anything else.”

“I wish I were anything NF. Emotional intelligence is so important to me and I wish I naturally had more of it.”

“My type is ESFP and I really wish I was a ENFJ. I really wish I was a J, because I’m late to like literally everything and usually loosing my mind because of the lack of a schedule. I want to be a ENFJ because they are confident, make people feel naturally at home where ever they go, are awesome at encouraging other and just have a natural sense of believing in others.”

“I’m an ESFP and I couldn’t imagine trading my upbeat, confident demeanour for anything. But I’m bothered by how common my type is.”

“I’m an ESFP and honestly I’m really happy being an ESFP!”

Here Is Your Mental Age, Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

ENFP – 21

No matter how old you become, you maintain the drive, enthusiasm and passion of someone who is just coming into his or her own. You are young at heart but old in spirit – you may best be described as 21 going on 90. You have the energy of someone much younger than yourself but the wisdom of someone much older.

INFP – 60

No matter what your biological age is, you were born as and remain an old soul. You have been questioning the greater truths about life for as long as you can remember, but your wisdom is supported by an inherently youthful sense of curiosity that drives you to explore each issue from multiple different angles. You may best be best described as 60 going on 6 – you have the sagacity of someone much older than yourself but the insatiable curiosity of someone much younger.

ENFJ – 40

You’ve always naturally assumed the role of the wise mentor to those in your life. Your mental prowess resembles that of someone who is old enough to make decisions rationally and compassionately, yet young enough to execute them with an idealistic sense of enthusiasm. Your “Mother Hen” role in others’ lives plants you at the beginning of middle-age, mentally. You have a youthful energy backed up by an indisputable well of wisdom.

INFJ – 90

Chances are, some part of you has always felt older than those around you. You dwell eternally in the deep end of life – questioning its nature and meaning in depth, while remaining endlessly patient with those around you. You have the empathy and insight of someone much older than yourself – you are a natural sage, regardless of your biological age.

ESFP – 16

It’s not that you lack the maturity or depth of your true biological age – it’s just that you embody the enthusiastic spirit of someone much younger than yourself. You are ceaselessly open to life in every facet. You work hard, play hard, love hard and live hard. Regardless of how old you become, you maintain the effervescent energy of someone much younger than yourself and it’s refreshing to everyone around you.

ISFP – 23

They say your early to mid twenties are your peak creative years – but for you, your entire life is your peak creative years. Possessing the insight of someone much older than yourself but the youthful creative energy of someone much younger, your age might best be described as “23 going on 60.”

ESFJ – 30

You’re bubbly, energetic and lively but also mature, responsible and organized – embodying all the qualities of someone who has grown confidently into young adulthood. They say our early thirties are our prime years – when we are old enough to have established ourselves, yet young enough to enjoy good health. And if you’re anything, it’s confident and established. You’ve always possessed the focus and maturity of a true adult, with the warmth and energy of someone much younger.

ISFJ – 65

You’ve always felt a little out of sorts around people your own age – like some part of you would rather be at home, baking cookies with your cat, than out at a wild rager. You were born with the mentality of a calm, collected adult and it hasn’t wavered much over the years. You know old age will be your time to shine. You’ll be the best gran or grandpa on the block.

ENTJ – 55

The age of the average Fortune 500 CEO is 55 so it seemed only natural that this age would suit you best. For the majority of your life you’ve possessed the confidence, diligence and decisiveness of someone much older than yourself – and by middle age your body will finally catch up with the maturity of your mind. 55 may just be your time to shine… but who are we kidding. Your whole life is your time to shine.

INTJ – 80

INTJs seem to mentally age at twice the rate of most other types. Their lifelong quest for knowledge means they advance intellectually in leaps and bounds – they have little patience for the constraints of youth and tend to befriend adults from the time they are young. This type has the wisdom of an old soul and the unconquerable thirst for knowledge that keeps them growing and expanding well beyond their years.

ENTP – 24

You have the innovative spirit of an idealistic child mixed with the professional savviness of an assertive adult – landing you squarely in the ‘young adult’ age bracket, mentally. No matter how old you get, you retain the adventurous, opportunistic nature of someone much younger than yourself, combined with the resourceful capability of someone much older.

INTP – 45

Of all the types, INTPs may be the most difficult to fit into a particular mental age. This type has the intellectual capacity and decisiveness of someone much older than themselves combined with the insatiable curiosity of a very young child. This type may best be described as “45 going on 3.” Their unique way of perceiving the world renders them ageless in many ways – they may be totally inept at ‘adulting’ but intellectually gifted from a young age.

ISTJ – 50

ISTJs are born responsible. This type takes their commitments direly seriously and possesses almost no trace of youthful mischievousness. They often feel older than their peers, even as children, and long to reach an age at which they will finally be taken seriously by their peers. Middle age suits the ISTJ well – they are still physically capable of getting things done, while finally being old enough to receive the respect they deserve.

ESTJ – 45

ESTJs combine the playful, gregarious spirit of a young college bro with the responsibility and diligence of a fully-formed adult. This type is obsessively professional and capable – they enjoy middle age as a time where they have earned the respect of their peers yet are still in good enough health to be able to push their own limits.

ESTP – 18

ESTPs are the straight-shooting rule-breakers of the world, who never fully lose their rebellious teenage spirit. This type retains the energy and enthusiasm of a young adult no matter how old they get. They won’t be held back by the world around them – they get what they want when they want it and just try telling them otherwise.

ISTP – 22

ISTPs are in their prime when they are at their physical peak – usually in their early twenties. This type has a devilishly rebellious spirit that relishes in sensory delights. And yet they do possess the capability and responsibility of a quasi-adult at any age. 22 truly does seem to suit this type, as an age at which they are able to live life on their own terms but are not yet bothered by the societal expectations of adulthood.

9 Signs You’re Dating An ESFJ

1. They’re planning your hangouts weeks in advance.

Every ESFJ has a bustling social calendar – but if they’re interested, that’s not going to stop them from seeing you. They’re just going to make sure they plan ahead so that they can fit you in after Yoga next Thursday, but before their lunch date with their sister, while still having enough time to plan for the charity event they have that night…

2. They remember the little details you tell them about yourself.

ESFJs have incredible memories when it comes to the people they care about. If you mentioned your favorite kind of wine in passing the first night you met them, don’t be surprised to find it sitting on the table the night of your second date. They’re keeping an internal catalog of everything you like and dislike, so they can constantly surprise you in small, thoughtful ways.

3. They’re taking a keen interest in your interests.

ESFJs show their love through assimilation. If something’s important to you, it’s going to be important to them too. They’ll take the time to learn about your favorite sport, hobby, TV show or activity – and then they’ll actively participate in it alongside you.

4. They anticipate your needs before you do.

ESFJs are preemptively attentive to the practical needs of their loved ones. If you walked to come see them, there’s a cold glass of water waiting for you on the table when you get there. The second you start to feel drowsy, they’re already warming up the car to drive you home. This type wants the people they love to feel cared for and nurtured by them – at times, it may even feel as though they’re more in tune with your needs than you are.

5. They’ve effortlessly assimilated your family and friend group.

ESFJs take their social circles seriously and as far as they’re concerned, your friends and family are their friends and family. They’re quick to introduce you to the people who are most important to them and they expect the same in return. They’ll waste no time charming your family and friends to win them over – they know how important it is that the people you care about approve of them.

6. They take each milestone seriously.

ESFJs love special occasions – be they birthdays, holidays or anniversaries – and they’re never going to miss a chance to celebrate your relationship. They’ll plan for special events months in advance, putting particular care and attention into each milestone you reach as a couple.

7. The relationship has never felt entirely casual.

ESFJs are long-term planners. They don’t date for the sake of it – they are constantly sussing out new partners for long-term potential and if you’ve made it past the first couple of dates, chances are they see that potential in you. ESFJs like the formality and security of a well-defined relationship – they probably approached the ‘exclusivity’ talk early on and aren’t shy about declaring you to be their partner.

8. Your entire life starts feeling suspiciously more organized.

Not only is your bathroom looking neater than usual but your calendar has special events penciled into it, your fridge replenishes itself and your life just seems to be running a whole lot more smoothly than it was before your ESFJ came along. This type is the master of keeping things operating smoothly and if they love you, they’re organizing your life alongside their own.

9. You’ve never felt more valued within a relationship.

ESFJs take their relationships incredibly seriously and the happiness of their partner is their number one concern. If you find yourself realizing that you’ve never been as appreciated, valued and encouraged by a partner as you are in your current relationship, there’s a very good chance that you’re dating an ESFJ.

16 Little Fall Things That Remind Us Of Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type

ESFP: When the leaves burst into an array of beautiful colors.



ESFPs are all about the aesthetic – and is there anything more aesthetically pleasing than the fabulous color scheme of Autumn leaves? The colors that emerge in the fall are as varied, cheerful and pleasing as the ESFP themselves. Something about the fall colors makes you feel warm and welcomed by the season – in classic ESFP fashion.

ENTJ: The crisp morning air that leaves you refreshed and ready for the day.



While your summertime walks to work leave you sweating and sluggish by the time you reach the office, the crisp Autumn air does the opposite – it wakes you up and leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Just like the powerful ENTJ personality, Autumn mornings prime you for productivity and leave you feeling clear-headed and focused.

ISFJ: Wrapping both hands around a warm cup of tea when you get home.



Warm, comforting and tranquil, coming home to a warm cup of tea is an experience that can only be topped by coming home to an ISFJ. This type is as gentle, soothing and inoffensive as a well-brewed cup of tea. Exactly what you want at the end of a long day.

INFJ: Oversized fall sweaters.



Intricate, protective and sheltering, the INFJ and the fall sweater have a great deal in common. Just like no two fall sweaters are exactly the same (even the mass-produced H&M cardigans must all have a stitch or two of difference if you look closely enough), no two INFJs are exactly alike either. They come in all shapes and patterns and you’ll be left marvelling at their complexity every time.

ENTP: Halloween



Is there a single type more devilishly mischievous than the ENTP? Surely not. Halloween seems to have been invented just for this type. For one night, they can prank, dupe and deceive to their hearts content. And nobody can argue with their antics.

ESTJ: Daylight Savings Time.



Turning the clocks back an hour may depress us a little, but it just makes sense. And if there’s any type that isn’t afraid of a little inconvenience in favour of practicality, it’s the ever-efficient ESTJ.

ISTJ: Celebrating Thanksgiving.



Thanksgiving is a holiday that is steeped in tradition, and if there’s any type that values tradition, it’s the ISTJ. This type tends to know the exact history behind any given holiday and Thanksgiving allows them the chance to educate their friends and families on that history, without anyone being allowed to complain (too much).

ESFJ: The return of your favorite TV shows.



Dramatic, entertaining and always right on time, your favourite TV shows have a great deal in common the ESFJ personality. Welcoming back your favourite fall line up of sitcoms and Reality programs feels like welcoming back an old friend – and if anyone makes for a great friend, it’s the ESFJ.

ISTP: Flannel shirts.



Practical, rugged and accidentally cool, the flannel shirt has a great deal in common with the ISTP. This garment puts comfort and practicality first – just like the ISTP, who probably can’t understand why fake flannel is even a thing.

INFP: Curling up next to the fireplace with a good book.



The sweet mix of peace, relaxation and wild imagination can only truly be attributed to the INFP personality type. Spending time around an INFP is like spending time curled up next to a blazing fire – it warms your heart and puts your mind at ease.

ENFP: Making a huge pile of leaves and then jumping in it.



If there’s any type that maintains the enthusiasm of childhood right through to adulthood, it’s the ENFP. This type welcomes fall with all of the joy and enthusiasm of children – and they indulge in many of the same activities.

ISFP: Infinity scarves.



Though something about the effortlessly cool infinity scarf seems undeniably ISFP-esque, this really extends to all fall fashion. If there’s anyone we can count on to be up on the newest trends for fall, it’s the ISFP. Their aesthetic is hopelessly on point at all times, and the rest of us only try to keep up.

ESTP: Stepping on a crunchy leaf and feeling pleased with yourself.



Every once in a while, a particular sensory experience is so intensely satisfying that we can’t even figure out why it feels so good. Welcome to the entire life of the ESTP. This type is incredibly in tune with the world around them and they live for those little moments of sensory pleasure. Life is one, big crunchy leaf to them.

INTP: No Shave November.



INTPs remind us of No Shave November not just because they seem to LOVE participating in it (A socially acceptable reason to neglect personal hygiene? Awesome.) but because they are likely to actually know and understand the cause behind it. Which is more than we can say for all the bros who just want to show that they are, in fact, capable of growing a moustache.

ENFJ: Finding the perfect pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.



Days at the pumpkin patch aren’t just about collecting a Halloween decoration – they’re about bringing together family to bond and relish in the beautiful fall season. And if any type enjoys bringing people together in a meaningful way, it’s the ENFJ. This type enjoys the process of pumpkin-hunting almost as much as they enjoy finding the perfect one to garnish their doorstep.

INTJ: Going back to school.



It’s no secret that the INTJ’s favorite part of the fall season isn’t the crisp air or the pumpkin pie – it’s the opportunity to return to a structured form of education. Fall kicks off the school season and while most students accept this with a mixture of disdain and apprehension, the INTJ could not be more pleased. The return to school means they are right back where they belong.

10 Signs You’re An ENFP, Not An INFP

1. ENFPs speculate first and feel second, whereas INFPs feel first and speculate second.

For the ENFP, the world is a never-ending smorgasbord of possibilities to explore and adventures to partake in. They jump quickly into new projects, then need to withdraw to process their feelings about what they have been experiencing.

For the INFP, the world is a smorgasbord of thoughts, feelings and fantasies that they can explore internally. They choose which possibilities to pursue in the real world by first determining which of the available options is the best reflection of their most authentic self.

2. ENFPs enjoy the spotlight, whereas INFPs shy away from it.

INFPs enjoy recognition for their talent, but they’d rather be behind-the-scenes than front-and-center when it comes to receiving recognition. An INFP wants to be perceived as serious and thoughtful by others, whereas an ENFP is more comfortable showing off their goofy nature to the public.

3. ENFPs use humor to make light of serious situations, whereas INFPs prefer to delve deeply into serious situations.

ENFPs are deeply serious people at their core, but they feel protective of their deepest feelings and often make light of serious situations in order to avoid delving into them in the presence of others. They are quick to lighten the mood with a joke or offhanded remark that veers the conversation in a different direction.

On the flip side, INFPs rarely waiver on the issues they feel strongly about. They are likely to approach serious topics with caution, thinking carefully about what they are going to say in order to accurately portray their thoughts to the opposite party. Or, if they don’t wish to have the conversation in question, they’ll simply remove themselves from the situation altogether.

4. ENFPs leap before they look, INFPs look before they leap.

ENFPs jump quickly into new projects – often before they thoroughly determine how they feel about the project and its potential implications. They have a fluid system of values that tends to morph and change as they take in new experiences.

On the flip side, INFPs, must determine how they feel about a given project BEFORE deciding to take it on. Everything the INFP does has to be in line with his or her pre-decided set of internal values.

5. ENFPs tend to question their extroversion, whereas INFPs tend to be positive that they’re introverts.

ENFPs often feel torn between their intense love of people and their intense love of alone time. They are highly likely to identify as ambiverts, seeing both introverted and extroverted traits in themselves.

On the flip side, INFPs tend to be quite sure that they prefer their own company to the company of others and are unlikely to wonder whether they may be extroverts.

6. ENFPs are more at risk of losing touch with their feelings whereas INFPs are more at risk of losing touch with the external world.

ENFPs find comfort in the external world and may be prone to running away from their problems or distracting themselves with new projects when they’re stressed.

On the flip side, INFPs find comfort in the internal world and may be prone to over-analyzing their problems and avoiding taking action when they’re stressed.

7. When a loved one is in need of advice, ENFPs offer empowering suggestions whereas INFPs offer emotional guidance.

While an ENFP is listening to the struggles of a distressed friend, they are internally formulating a wide range of possible solutions to the problem at hand and considering ways they could empower their friend to take control of the situation and change their circumstances.

On the flip side, an INFP listening to a distressed friend is busy identifying exactly how their friend is feeling and thinking of ways they could reframe the situation so that their friend can feel differently about what they’re going through, even if the circumstances themselves don’t necessarily change.

8. ENFPs fantasize about the different experiences they could have, INFPs fantasize about the different feelings they could have.

In an ENFP fantasy, they’re a talk-show host! And then they’re a mountain climber! And then they’re a best-selling author going on a world-wide book tour to meet their many adoring fans! They use their alone time to explore different interests and adventures they could have and researching how to make those fantasies a reality.

In an INFP fantasy, they fall passionately in love with the boy next door – but then he betrays them! And then they’re dejected. And then they channel their emotion into art – and then they rise above the situation triumphantly! INFPs use their alone time to explore the different feelings they could have and imagine how those intense emotions may manifest in real life.

9. ENFPs are open and welcoming, INFPs take time to warm up to new people.

ENFPs enjoy forming quick connections with those around them and don’t mind sharing their passions and interests from the get-go. They are warm and enthusiastic when meeting others – wanting to learn more about them in order to foster an instant sense of closeness.

INFPs enjoy meeting new people but don’t feel comfortable revealing much about themselves from the get-go. They are guarded about their passions and interests and need to feel as though they trust someone before they can truly feel close to them. They don’t often hit it off immediately with strangers.

10. ENFPs are highly excitable – even when they are alone – whereas INFPs are selectively excitable around others.

Leave an ENFP alone for three hours and they often re-emerge with limbs shaking from too much coffee and fourteen new ideas that they’re bursting to share with others. Though they also use alone time to reflect on their emotions, even their deep reflections tend to give way to bursts of creative inspiration, and their emotional processing may quickly turn into fanciful conceptualizations of the future.

Leave an INFP alone for three hours and they’ll re-emerge with a poem they wrote and a reluctance to show it to others. This type is most likely to feel excited when they are making future plans with a good friend or sharing a joke with others. Their extroverted intuition emerges through the lens of their introverted feeling, so they need to feel an emotional connection to the idea in question before they can truly be excited about it.

The Four Different Types Of Extroverts According To Jungian Psychology

Extroverted Sensors

Extroverted sensors are energized and inspired by the physical world that surrounds them. They are keenly in tune with every sight, sound, smell, taste and touch that enters their awareness – they gain energy by engaging in each new sensory experience. These extroverts may be particularly interested in athletics and other physically intense experiences. They take in people the way they take in everything else – by noticing how people look, smell, sound and hold themselves. Their preferred method of socializing is one in which they are sharing experiences with other people – they’d rather bond over doing something fun together than over a long conversation.

What extroverted sensors love about social gatherings is the intense stimulation of being introduced to new people whom they haven’t ‘taken in’ before. These extroverts particularly enjoy the sensory stimulation that clubs, raves and other such entertainment venues provide – they can almost physically feel the energy that is present in such environments.

Extroverted Sensing types are: ESTPs and ESFPs.
Introverted types that use extroverted sensing as a secondary mode of analysis are: ISTPs and ISFPs.

Extroverted Feelers

Extroverted feelers are the most stereotypically extroverted extroverts in that they gain energy primarily through interacting with people. They enjoy listening to, learning about and sharing experiences with others in just about any fashion – be it a long, in-depth conversation or a simple exchange of small talk. Others’ joy and pain is their joy and pain. Though they certainly require alone time every once in a while (all extroverts do), extroverted feelers require the least amount of alone time out of all extroverted types. People are their main joy and inspiration in life and it doesn’t matter how or in what capacity they’re interacting with others – as long as there’s a plethora of people present whose energy they can feed off.

What extroverted feelers love about social gatherings is the chance to interact with various people, learn about the lives of those people and form new interpersonal connections. They also enjoy the validation they receive from others in social situations and they feed off the positive social energy that abounds. At a social gathering, you will usually find them chatting with many different people and making sure everyone feels comfortable and happy.

Extroverted Feeling types are: ESFJs and ENFJs.
Introverted types that use extroverted feeling as a secondary mode of analysis are: ISFJs and INFJs.

Extroverted Intuitives

Extroverted intuitives are the least stereotypically extroverted extroverts. They gain energy primarily through exploring abstract ideas about the world and speculating over various possibilities for the future. They are extroverts primarily in that their thoughts are oriented externally, toward the world of experiences they could have. These extroverts feed off the mental energy of others in order to form new ideas and come to intellectual conclusions. They particularly enjoy engaging in friendly debates and bouncing ideas off others. If others are uninterested in engaging in such conversations, the extroverted intuitive is likely to go engage their plans and ideas alone.

Extroverted intuitives often enjoy speculating about how a social gathering might go more than they enjoy the actual social gathering itself. They are maximally energized by the feeling that ‘Anything could happen.’ At a social gathering, you are likely to find extroverted intuitives excitedly discussing an idea in the corner of a room with someone who intrigues them. They may also spur friendly debates or intellectual conversations with a group.

Extroverted Intuitive types are: ENTPs and ENFPs.
Introverted types that use extroverted intuition as a secondary mode of analysis are: INTPs and INFPs.

Extroverted Thinkers

Extroverted thinkers are the most structured and decisive extroverts. They aim to impose logical order on their external environment in as efficient a manner as possible. These extroverts are goal-oriented and aggressive – they see a clear path between where they are and where they want to be and they are perfectly comfortable navigating their environments in any means possible in order to get there. They gain energy through working with others to achieve their goals and taking hold of those hard-earned achievements. They are not the warmest extroverts, but they do genuinely enjoy the company of others and they are primarily motivated by external achievements.

What extroverted thinkers enjoy about social gatherings are the networking opportunities they present, as well as the opportunity to gauge their own achievements and social status against others’ (not necessarily in a petty way, but as a means of benchmarking their own progress). These types will often be found trying to ‘charm’ or entice others who can help them professionally, as they almost always have business on their mind.

Extroverted Thinking types are: ESTJs and ENTJs.
Introverted types that use extroverted thinking as a secondary mode of analysis are: ISTJs and INTJs.

The Four Different Types Of Introverts According To Jungian Psychology

Introverted Sensors

To sensing introverts, reality exists as a series of physical observations and experiences that they can sort through and classify while they are alone. These introverts are highly meticulous and detail-oriented, and enjoy keeping their homes, selves and environments in proper order. They are quick to notice patterns of behavior over time and they use those patterns to predict (and plan for) future occurrences. These introverts place a high value on tradition and are extremely respectful of social and societal conventions. They are rule-followers and tradition-upholders. To them, life is an ongoing process of putting – and keeping – things in order.

While alone, the introverted sensor is reflecting on past experiences, maintaining order in his or her personal environment and making tangible plans for the future.

Introverted Sensing types are: ISTJs and ISFJs.
Extroverted types that use introverted sensing as a secondary mode of analysis are: ESTJs and ESFJs.

Introverted Feelers

To feeling introverts, reality exists as a series of subjective experiences that they must explore and internalize to determine the true meaning of. Introverted feelers are highly creative individuals, who often use alone time to create poetry, music or art. They come to understand the world by deciding how they feel about the experiences they’ve had and developing a personal moral code to help them make future decisions. They often care deeply about social justice, and may feel the pain of wronged individuals on a personal level. They are the tortured artists of the world, who feel and experience everything on an incredibly deep, personal level.

When alone, the introverted feeler is reflecting on the experiences they’ve had, uncovering a deeper meaning behind those experiences and determining the corresponding moral principle. Often, they channel their feelings through some form of artistic expression. They also use alone time to indulge their wild imaginations and develop (constantly shifting) future ideals to aspire to.

Introverted Feeling types are: INFPs and ISFPs.
Extroverted types that use introverted feeling as a secondary mode of analysis are: ENFPs and ESFPs.

Introverted Thinkers

To thinking introverts, life exists as a series of objective truths that must be sorted through and fit into a greater system of cohesive, indisputable facts. Introverted thinkers are highly logical individuals, who strive to acquire as wide a breadth of knowledge as possible, in order to determine true information from false information. Unlike introverted feelers or introverted intuitives, they are not as concerned with the deeper, subjective meaning of their findings as they are with simply assuring that their findings are a correct and accurate reflection of the world around them. Introverted thinkers are the true scientists and researchers of the world.

When alone, the introverted thinker is researching topics of interest, comparing any new information they acquire to their pre-existing database of knowledge and determining where – if anywhere – the new information fits. They are creating an internal framework of how the world works on an objective, rational level.

Introverted Thinking types are: INTPs and ISTPs.
Extroverted types that use introverted thinking as a secondary mode of analysis are: ENTPs and ESTPs.

Introverted Intuitives

To intuitive introverts, life exists as a giant, mystical puzzle to be solved. They enjoy gathering a large database of knowledge about the topics that interest them and discerning which knowledge ‘clicks’ with their pre-existing hunches or perceptions about the world. While alone, they are usually meditating on the ‘big picture’ issues of the world and attempting to understand – and find abstract ways to solve – complex problems. They enjoy speculating about the future in a direct, pointed fashion – by predicting exactly how things are likely to unfold and forming long-term plans accordingly.

When alone, the introverted intuitive is usually researching topics of interest and analyzing what they’re learning to discern whether or not it fits with their pre-existing worldview. They also spend a great deal of time deciding upon and laying down long-term plans for their future.

Introverted Intuitive types are: INTJs and INFJs.
Extroverted types that use introverted intuition as a secondary mode of analysis are: ENTJs and ENFJs.

19 Things That Happen When You’re The Only Extrovert In Your Friend Group

1. You have a plethora of friends who are available for a “Quiet night in,” but very few who are down for a raging night out.

2. You’re never at a loss for people to have long, philosophical conversations with.

3. And when you need to talk out a personal problem, there’s always someone around to listen.

4. All that being said, you occasionally just want people to RALLY with and sometimes grow frustrated by the group’s continuous consensus to stay in.

5. You end up tagging along to a lot of parties with colleagues or vague acquaintances.

6. As a result, you end up with a wide circle of extroverted acquaintances, but still feel closest to your core group of introverted friends.

7. You start to feel like a wildly rebellious person in comparison to your close friends, even though you’re pretty sure your lifestyle is normal for most people your age.

8. You sometimes have to withhold information about your social or sex life from your core group, fearing it will shock some of your more reserved friends.

9. You can’t always give the best advice to each other because you usually encourage them to get out of their shell when they need to introspect, and they encourage you to introspect when you need to take action.

10. Other times, however, their opposing perspective is exactly what you need to snap you out of your bad habits (and vice versa).

11. You have to consciously manage your disappointment when your friends describe an event as, “Loud and bustling,” and you realize they’re describing why they don’t want to go to it.

12. Everyone knows not to cancel plans on you at the last minute. Your other friends may feel relieved when that happens but you are annoyed to no end by it.

13. You have to constantly remind yourself that just because a given friend is free, doesn’t necessarily mean they want to hang out.

14. When you do stay in and hang out together, you’re super energized after three or four hours of conversation… and your introverted friends are tired and ready to go to bed.

15. When the group finally does decide to go out, everyone expects you to plan it.

16. And you accepted years ago that going out with your group means you’ll always find yourself alone at the party after about one or two am.

17. Everyone expects you to be happy and upbeat all the time, even on the days you’re feeling mellow.

18. You sometimes wish you had at least one close extroverted friend to help break you out of the funks that talking things out just won’t fix.

19. But at the end of the day, you know that nothing could replace the balance your introverted friends bring to your life – they’re the yin to your yang and you couldn’t imagine your life without them.

The Top Relationship Dealbreaker For Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type

ENFP: Having limits placed on their freedom.

ENFPs have big visions of what they want to experience in life – and they aren’t interested in discarding those visions for anyone else. Though they’re happy to accommodate and incorporate a partner into their lives, the ENFP has no interest in a relationship that is going to hold them back – they need an open-minded partner who is happy to explore and adventure their way through life together.

INFP: Being close-minded.

When Winona Ryder said, “I think too much. I think ahead. I think behind. I think sideways. I think it all. If it exists, I’ve fucking thought of it,” She may as well have been describing the INFP personality. This type is obsessively open-minded and there’s nothing more infuriating to them than a person who refuses to consider alternate points of view. INFPs need a deep, compelling partner who can keep up with their ever-shifting kaleidoscope of thoughts and emotions.

INFJ: Feeling unable to fully trust their partner.

INFJs are long-term oriented individuals who invest their emotions carefully. They aren’t looking for a partner who might bail or run out on them at a moment’s notice – they need someone they can trust to stick around for the long haul. When entering a new relationship, INFJs are consistently evaluating whether or not their partner is someone they can safely invest their love in long-term – and if they get the sense that they aren’t, they won’t waste any more time on the relationship.

ENFJ: Feeling unneeded.

ENFJs live to give to others. This generous type serves a well of wisdom and support for those around them and in a relationship they thrive on feeling needed. If the ENFJ’s partner refuses to open up and share their struggles with the ENFJ, the ENFJ may feel as though they have no purpose within the partnership. And that perceived lack of purpose will be romantically unsatisfying to the ENFJ, who will likely elect to leave the relationship.

INTJ: Dishonesty.

INTJs seek the truth at all costs – and their relationships are no exception to this rule. INTJs loathe being duped, lied to or kept in the dark. They want to make all decisions about their relationships from an informed perspective – and if they feel as though they’re lacking that perspective, they’ll be quick to leave any partner who won’t be upfront and honest with them.
