Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging

Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.


Agreed. I am ALL about holidays. Let the copious amounts of food and candy from yesterday be testament to that. Or anyone who got one of my Christmas goodie bags >_>

All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.


Eh, I could go either way with the being in charge bit. Though I do follow the work hard, play hard thing.

ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.


Yeah, though when that happens I just get really angry. I spend a lot of time being angry. D:

Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. This sometimes results in swift, immediate action taken upon a transgressor, followed by stern reprimand; ultimately, however, the prodigal is wrested from the gallows of their folly, just as the noose tightens and all hope is lost, by the very executioner!


In terms of disciplining animals, this is pretty true. I'm always really nice afterwards. And I do have a pretty powerful mothering drive, it usually manifests itself in food. I like to feed people. I'm also very concerned with making people comfortable, especially guests. It's funny because I like to tease sleeping people, but I also frequently put blankets on them or give them a pillow. >_>

An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner take all.


Umm....I usually don't even think about decisions all that much. I generally make snap decisions but they are almost always the right ones. I have a good sense for these things, I guess.

As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a dangerous place, not to be trusted. Not that the ESFJ is paranoid; 'hyper-vigilant' would be more precise. And thus they serve excellently as protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary education.


Well, the only time I'm even bothered about germs and whatnot is when I'm cooking food. Then, yeah, I'm very sure to make things clean and germ-free. But the rest of the time, I barely pay attention.

INTJ: Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging

67 50 50 1

Seems about right. I am very Introverted, and very non-Judging. I couldn't care less about 50% Intuition, but I take 50% Thinking as an insult-- Bastard test. *shakes fist*

Best part of being INTJ, is the article refers to them as "Masterminds" 8-)

The judging part doesn't really have to do with how you judge other people and their actions.

Judgers want things settled, Perceivers want thing open-ended.


With me fluctuating between 70% and 100% judging, I don't imagine I'd have too many friends if I constantly judged everyone and everything. It does mean, however, that it irks me when people do stuff like leave garbage laying around, leave chairs not pushed back to the table, go out the 'in' doors, and cut to the inside of corners without looking to see if someone else is coming

I can totally vouch for this <3

Also somehow I'm not surprised both you and Yue are of that personality type in general :P

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty Judging in that sense, though it's still kind of odd how it's only 1% in my case.

ENFP
Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
100 12 50 22

I actually 100% agree with this test! I am a very social person and I love being with people. A lot of people have told me that I'm 'too friendly' and sometimes it does get me into trouble. :(

ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.

Where is the love(making)? <3

Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.

What's life without friends?

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Sometimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.


:D That's totally me. Everytime I go to a party, everyone thinks I'm drunk or high, when I'm really not.
Holy freak! My philosophy:
Party until your head explodes!
Dance dirty!
Rock that girl's world until her head explodes.

Famous ENFPs:
Mark Twain
Dr. Seuss
Bill Cosby
Robin Williams
Robert Downey Jr.
Sinbad
Andy Kaufman
Will Smith

ENFP
1 62 38 11

I think I relatively often jump between ENFP and INFJ... compared to few other times I did this test :<

I have E/I and P/J pretty much in balance. I think there was some kind of noting this as xNFx >.>

And it probably means I am unstable, weeeeeeeeee

Last time I took the Meyers-Briggs test I was an ENFP, now I'm an ISFP.

ISFP - Michael Jackson, Kevin Costner, Britney Spears, John Travolta, Ashton Kutcher, Donald Trump
ENFP - Buster Keaton, Theodor "Dr." Seuss Geisel, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Robin Williams, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey Jr., Andy Kaufman
Oh, good. Those celebrity comparisons don't scare me at all. I'm either crazy in a good way or crazy in a bad way.

More in touch with the reality of their senses than their INFP counterparts, ISFPs live in the here and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run. (One ISFP friend has become nonambulatory within the past few years. He will still, on impulse, leave home in the middle of the night and go to Las Vegas or wherever, regardless of the difficulties of his physical condition.)

ISFPs internalize their Feeling (by nature a judging function) which bursts out spontaneously and leaves as quickly and mysteriously as it came.

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

HAH! I may never finish any of my projects, but at least I'll always be unpredictable and fun.

Well more than a decade after the first time I've done this, I'm still an INTP. However the strength of the N is only 12%, and the P is 22%, which are way down from before. Oh god I'm becoming another person.

However, I've always found it funny how common INTPs and INTJs are on internet forums. I guess most of the real people are elsewhere, having lives.

Oh right, I'm not allowed to edit posts so let's double post this shit:

I'm actually surprised my introvertedness is still so dominant (67%), as I figure I'm a fairly outgoing person now. Maybe I just lived as such a shut-in for so long, I feel extroverted in comparison.

A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (NT) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well have overlooked some critical bit of data. An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition. In this way INTPs are markedly different from INTJs, who are much more confident in their competence and willing to act on their convictions.A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure.

Pretty accurate. I hate fucking something up, because something I want to do, I generally want to do right. I like to spend a good amount of time doing research on a project before feeling confident enough to tackle it. If I feel like it's going wrong or it won't live up to expectations (which will always be very high), I generally prefer to erase the whole thing than push through with it.

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.


Math never quite clicked with me, but I the principle rings true, and it's probably why I enjoyed neuroscience so much. Funny thing was, I had a lot of neuroscience majors for friends, and it was common enough that I had to explain to them what was going on in lecture. As long as I could construct a working system in my head, everything fell together, and I could always fill in the gaps for other people. This also meant I could get away on certain types of exams with minimal studying; as long as I knew the input and the output of the problem, I could otherwise build the rest of the answer from scratch.

Games NTs seem to especially enjoy include Risk, Bridge, Stratego, Chess, Go, and word games of all sorts. (I have an ENTP friend that loves Boggle and its variations. We've been known to sit in public places and pick a word off a menu or mayonnaise jar to see who can make the most words from its letters on a napkin in two minutes.) The INTP mailing list has enjoyed a round of Metaphore, virtual volleyball, and a few 'finish the series' brain teasers.


This ends up manifesting in video games instead. There's a reason why I know so much about a lot of competitive video games, most of which I don't even play.

On another note, one of my best friends in university is almost certainly an ESFP, which is listed as "Novelty" in relation to an INTP. I find it weird, since I rarely had moments of "I don't get your thought process" (to be fair, most of them were explained away by "there was no thought process) in four years of knowing him.

INTJ

Introverted 44%
Intuitive 75%
Thinking 1%
Judging 56%

Results were a good read.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson
