Hi

What are the most daredevil types?
I have 2 friends (girls) who are quite daredevil. One seems to be extraverted but I don't know her enough, the other one more introverted. Both seems to be feelers. The introverted one is for sure percieving. And the other one, I don't know. She seems to be extraverted, feeler. Very much into hiking in groups, cooking, skiing, painting (seems to be kinda artsy or acting so) and daredevil stuffs. What type could she be?

She also likes flashy colors and always wear an artsy hat. (Not sure, it helps but she is acting silly, goofy at times and artsy. Not sure she is ENFP because she doesn't seem to be close to my temperament.. More daredevil, more depressed at times)

I would say INTPs are intellectual dare devils. But ISTPs are the racecar drivers and stunt men/women.

I can't see an ISFP being much of a dare devil. More likely ISTP.

This is person is a Sensor.

Ok, she might be a sensor. But quite sure, she is a feeler. She speaks a lot about feeling down at times, feeling sad (in private, I think, not sure though how much I belong to her private zone) etc... Even though she acts funn, goofy and silly at other times. I can't see an INTP/ISTP talking like this about their mood and love's issues

So more "J"?

ENFPs are so fun. Really, I hardly ever joke about fun. But I digress.

Huh? ESFP could easily be right for the extryverted one, and they're common.

ENFP? I don't think so, but maybe some ENFP is going to contradict me. Im not that daredevil for example... A little but not too much. My lack of "S" and "J" ability to plan my comportement according to the dangerous situation, makes me unsure in difficult situations like canyoning or other sports that type... Which contradict my "NP" will to explore new possibilities to have fun


She is school teacher for little kids in case it helps (kindergarden... we have a true school for little little kids with true teachers here in France who teach them tons of stuffs)

^Precisely!

You're ENFP. Your buddy could be ESFP.
Cality

Ok, i see your point! It's not my buddy actually. Just someone I know through someone else but I am not closed to her.

being a daredevil is different from an ENFP's wanting to try different things. ISTP is the typical daredevil type. SP's in general like seek simulation and splashes of excitement, so i would think they are daredevils in general. hmmm... so that's ISTP, ESTP, ISFP and ESFP. makes sense to me, i know people from all those types and i'm sure they all like blowing stuff up and riding motorcycles etc.

Yeah, exactly. I am just curious but not really willing to explore dangerous situations.


But she can't be SJ?

Just because she is a "Thinker", does not mean she does not have emotions. Thinkers feel and can get depressed too. The MBTI Thinker/Feeler label is only about how we make decisions. Does she feel her way through decisions or does she try to figure out if decisions make sense?

"An ISTP who is over-stressed may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which they feel compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). An ISTP who is down on themself will foray into the world of value judgments - a place which is not natural for the ISTP - and judge themself by their inability to perform some task. They will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst."

She doesn't seem to be an ISTP. Too goofy, silly at times for that. Rather extraverted I think. Or she hides it well.

She was depressed at times because she was still in love with a friend who got married. Nothing to do with decision. At least, no decision to stop being in love with a married friend.

ESxPs are very open to trying new experiences. ENxPs are open to new ideas for change.

Define daredevil.
I imagine bravery will be a component.

E_TP is the likely the winner, with E_FP and ISTP runner up.

Sorry INTPs. You's guys are way damned dormant almost always.

Since no one apparently agrees with my ESFP guess, I'll put ten bux on it.

the word daredevil implies a calculated risk, not foolhardy or dumb. so ISTP.

I'm not sure if I'd call it 'daredevil', I don't exactly blow up motorcycles, but I spend a lot of weekends hiking, and I've spent summers trekking in the Himalayas, rock climbing, rapelling, and white water rafting. I'm also planning to try out paragliding and a couple of adventure sports.

And I'm very much ENTP. Why do most people think you'd have to be an S to like all these things?

What are the most daredevil types?

I have done some stuff that made people see me either as a daredevil or just stupid. I'd like to think I was just living in a moment or something like that.

I think the motivation of the daredevilish behaviour is the key in this question. The most important stunts, I've done them to find out something about myself. The least important stuff, I either wanted attention or make people laugh.

I don't promote myself as some daredevil, but people are always telling me how dangerous my things have been. I never do stunts - but I just casually go biking on a mountain, chatting with some group of the most hostile drunken bastards etc. I think I'm in control for the most part. Yet, I've sustained a lot of injuries and I'm not afraid of getting some more.

For what I've heard, my mother was always afraid if I was going to live. Tho then, she was one of the most cautious persons, perhaps at 80% percentile at general cautiousness :D

I'm not seeking to win the daredevil price in here. I know and acknowledge some are much more acknowledgable in this regard; they do wild shit all the day, just shrugging the matter when asked about it.

My mother says that she's prepared to find me dead by the side of a mountain. :D

That's cool. I've gone hiking a lot with an ENTP and we'd often talk about politics, religion, history, etc. while climbing up mountains. I'd like to go to the Himalayas...
