So here is a chance. No imput from me in the way of aggressively argueing against anything you guys say.


It seems that noone thinks I am an ENTP. So I will state my case and litsen to any imput you may have. I do this for the sake of understanding perception of types.

I am ENTP word for word by almost every profile that I have read. I am stressed out ENTP, happy ENTP, any ENTP senerio I'm that. I took one test that called me idiosyncratic other than that I have tested I, E, T, N, J, and P but never F even before I knew what the letters meant.

I did test as an S but I admit I was trying to make myself sound good by the standard answer


What is it that you guys are seeing?

Don't know typology that well either do ya?

Coming to conclusions on her own is her Ti. Read any of my posts lately?
Dudes around here think Im a J for the same reason, but being sure of something is just indicative of strong T (not to be confused with effective T and), not necessarily I or E.

The forum probably gets the brunt of my feeling capasity. Ive never really known anyone who can offer objective intelligent insight to the things I least understand. The things I am capable of figuring out usually are never brought to surface even with those I am most close to.


That said, I thought I could be ESTP for a while till I actually interacted with one. Totally different trains of thought. I admire ESTP though as they seem to get to similarly adaquate solutions with a precieved lesser effort.



The one who said ISFJ can you elaborate? I am just curious as that seems to be the complete opposite of what I personally can relate to.




Also I have thought at times I could be J, but as the second post showed, I really lack details until I am faced with details are the solution. I am somewhat of a perfectionist in that instead of juggling many details, I minimize them so that lesser details works more efficiently for me. Hence the five outfits in my closet. I had a girl at work rearrange my station to be more organized. It took her an hour. In thirty seconds I had it back to where I thought things should be for covinience and use. To the outsider it was madness.

I figured the best way of finding out what your type is, is not to concentrate on the general callsign aka 'entp or estp' but to get to know the Functions, the types are composed of. The real meaning of the MBTI psychology lies only there in my opinion.

If you look into the Threads BlueWing started for example, you will find useful information on types and function use.

That was extrapolated from your initial diagnosis.

What I'm telling you is, most ENTJ traits aren't really ENTJ traits. People just don't get typology.

Apparently this includes you.

ive always tested as entp. the only time i didnt, i was an intp? either way intp doesnt fit my profile, entp does

idk its all about majority. people assume because of the statistics. i dont blame them, they have some valid reason..but i wish they were less skeptical and narrow minded and accept the truth when its in their face.

I think the ENTJ thing to be not so stupid at all.

1st: you constantly search in this thread for your personality. That means noone has impressed you yet and make you think he could be right. That is logical assesment and weighing of facts in the given situation. What makes it Extroverted Thinking

2nd: You only answer to those things you like to answer to, what is Introverted Perception. Could be that or could be Extroverted Thinking. But one is for sure, what leads to point three

3rd: You do not come up with ideas of your own

What is for sure, noone will ever know you on the MBTIc that way you deserve it as a human being, because we cant.

In my opinion you are entp or enfp that was my thinking from the start and that is true most of the times.

the only think that disturbed me until today, is that you toss people away. What is no entp thing, but I thought it to be a personal thing.

And personal things are absolutely fine. They just need to be solved.

Just, the people here on the forum, can not give you the security, you seek. Ultimatevily you alone will only know who you are and noone ACTUALLY cares, what MBTI type that matches :D

The best thing that propably speaks for yourself to be entp is your insecurity.

I am not insecure, pff, would never go down that road, there is always one or two things left to overplay insecurity.

I recently got brainwashed by an INFJ. Since then I am actually thinking those thoughts.

I hate domeneering people, but I let them do their things, because in the end I will have the revolver they've never worried about.

It's impossible for us to know what you think is the difference between P and J.
Generally speaking Ps prefer to keep their options open as long as possible before making a decision, and Js tend to hate waiting until the last minute to make a decision. They prefer to have things decided ahead of time.

Not necessarily. The questions may have been messed up for F and T but they seem fine for J and P.

Yes. Why? ENTJs are not defective, you know.

I really have to say that I am probably ENTP almost all the time. But, when it comes down to interacting with others or integrating lifestyles, working on projects, I get very ENTJ. I love to finish ahead of the deadline just in case something doesnt go as planned and adjustments must be made there is plenty of time. If I am going out I have to make sure that all plans are set forth in advance. organized free time. Like mentally dropping your brain off at a day care where it will be safe.

If I have to interact with people I make sure that their actions wont hinder me. I am not sure what that means. But inevitably I am called controlling by everyone. People take a stand against me for no reason at all in order to "prove" to me that I cant always get my way, but I am never getting my way only. I come up with plans that bennifit almost everyone in some way and the ones that are not bennifited remain at neutral. People dont trust me because I take control of situations.

On the other hand, I would love to never have to. I would prefer that people take care of their own crap so I am more than satisfied going about my buisness in lala land than having to crac the whip all the time. I like to go off on a tangent and just go. Run with it. I hate having to stop during those moments and focus on details or carrying someone along behind me. I am perfectly fine interacting with people on temporary basis because as soon as we start to get close ENTJ comes out like michael jackson during thriller.

The functions apply as well. Both were accurate to what I described here.

I really do think I am ENTP not because I want to be but because I thought that if people knew I was ENTP they would have a better understanding of my thought process and who I was so I wouldn't have to sit back and explain myself all the time. For some reason I bring out the worst in people. I also thought it would help to understand other types,

but inevitably I find myself disconnected in perception from what others see. usually that doesn't bother me any except that in my current RL situation, being able to precieve myself from the out side could be incredibly advantageous. I thought MBTI was a system but it doesn't really offer any more clarity does it?

Hold on now, on the flip side, and there is a flip side. I can't stand people who are so far in one direction that they loose their perspective. Extreme Js are so in a box that I don't see much room for growth unless it is personal. Up against the NTJs that I know I seem very P. I give people the bennifit of the doubt beyone the average persons limits, but as I see it if there is a different explination, it should be explored. It is not until all avenues are exausted that I will say, yes this person is such and such. I find people fascinating in their rationality. I love to study them. I hold a very objective view of people as they don't pretain to me. It is not until it gets personal that the J side comes out.

I love the freedom to explore as I see fit without having the standards of accountability. For instance while I may plan the primiter when I go out, I leave enough room in the middle for complete freedom of action. I am usually the life of the party, or you cant find me while I bounce around from person to person to see what makes them tick.

Case and point, I go out with INTJ friend who prefers piano bars and classy stuff. We are at the club and she is miserable. I tell her "Do you know how many stories are floating around this place? If you just allow yourself you can have fun here and find it interesting." To prove my point I pick a random guy from the bar and sit down to talk to him. In under five min I found out that he had spent jail time for buying a cop lunch with counterfiet money. I thought that was hilarious and continued to analyze with INTJ on what would motivate a person to attempt such a thing. He knew the guy was a cop.

I am very easy going if I don't have to get close to you. I am known for being wierd, creative, and "larger than life", motivated, dominating, not trustworthy, funny, not afraid to look like an idiot, objective, and easy going. I can't spell to save my life and I am not a linear thinker. I hate paper work.

I dont understand how I get such mixed reactions.

I don't believe everything is so concrete

Even as a kid I was highly motivated to figure out the things others could do that I could not. I wanted to have all the skill and talent for myself so I could take it apart and understand it.. Not to one up but because I was fascinated and could only really use myself as research,



Is the craving to learn, refine, and master everything, a feeling? Because if it is I am deffinatley a feeler.

You haven't given the kind of information necessary for me to discern if you are a J or a P. Not only that but you are prejudiced against being a J, so you're not being honest with yourself therefore it's impossible for me to discern your type. However the tests you take always say you're an ENTJ. The Discordia test is the only one I know of where you can't skew the results because of your preconceived ideas... or at least it's very difficult.

The other post where your friends accuse you of being a control freak. That's the one that I tend to believe more. Why? Because your friends are feeding back to you how they feel about your personality. ENTJs come across like a steamroller. And that's what they're telling you.

Perhaps you should study more the difference between J and P. There are whole threads on the differences. Also it's important to remember that the preferences are compared to other people. I used to think I was really observant until I met my husband. Now I understand what they mean when they say "observant".

I am a steam roller by others perspectives, by my own I am an opportunist. It is just sitting there waiting for someone to grab it but no one is paying attention. By the time people come around, they think I haven't played fairly.

I guess I am a J, I really value control over my own life and that includes the external attributions that are introduced by others. But, I would love to meet someone who is equally if not more competent than I so I can revel in my P-ness under their organization. Problem is I almost always discredit others ideas of organization because of holes that have not been filled.

Thank You all.

Perhaps you should study more the difference between J and P. There are whole threads on the differences. Also it's important to remember that the preferences are compared to other people. I used to think I was really observant until I met my husband. Now I understand what they mean when they say "observant".


INTJMom speaks the truth.

From your descriptions, I would say J. The thing that really stood out to me was you saying you liked to do things in advance, so you could make sure nothing went wrong, and that you liked to plan your leisure time in advance so you could have a good time while you were there. Both those things are really J, and would drive a P batty.

Perhaps you're just reacting to some of the negative ENTJ stereotypes, so you don't want to identify as that?

hey THATgirl
one thing to remember is that J or P only mean that either the judging function or percieving function is extraverted
and since your are an extravert, that would leave ENTJ or ENTP

by the fact that you drive your friends crazy with your steamrolling and organization or whatever, you are more likely an ENTJ - a Te dom

P time are those times where things dont have to add up or make sense or maybe everything is not so decisivley calculated.

This only means that you are an NT that thinks about things.

ENTJ people use their thinking to run as much of the world as may be theirs to run. They enjoy executive action and long-range planning. Reliance on thinking makes them logical, analytical, objectively critical, and not likely to be convinced by anything but reasoning. They tend to focus on the ideas, not the person behind the ideas.

They like to think ahead, organize plans, situations, and operations related to a project, and make a systematic effort to reach their objectives on schedule. They have little patience with confusion or inefficiency, and can be tough when the situation calls for toughness.

They think conduct should be ruled by logic, and govern their own behavior accordingly. They live by a definite set of rules that embody their basic judgements about the world. Any change in their ways requires a deliberate change in their rules.

They are mainly interested in seeing the possibilities beyond what is present, obvious, or known. Intuition heightens their intellectual interest, curiosity for new ideas, tolerance for theory, and taste for complex problems.

ENTJs are seldom content in jobs that make no demands upon their intuition. They are stimulated by problems and are often found in executive jobs where they can find and implement new solutions. Because their interest is in the big picture, they may overlook the importance of certain details. Since ENTJs tend to team up with like-minded intuitives who may also underestimate the realities of a situation, they usually need a person around with good common sense to bring up overlooked facts and take care of important details.

Like the other decisive types, ENTJs run the risk of deciding too quickly before they have fully examined the situation. They need to stop and listen to the other person's viewpoint, especially with people who are not in a position to talk back. This is seldom easy for them, but if they do not take time to understand, they may judge too quickly, without enough facts or enough regard for what other people think or feel.

ENTJs may need to work at taking feeling values into account. Relying so much on their logical approach, they may overlook feeling values--what they care about and what other people care about. If feeling values are ignored too much, they may build up pressure and expression in inappropriate ways. Although ENTJs are naturally good at seeing what is illogical and inconsistent, they may need to develop the art of appreciation. One positive way to exercise their feelings is though appreciation of other people's merits and ideas. ENTJs who learn to make it a rule to mention what they like, not merely what needs correcting, find the results worthwhile both in their work and in their private lives.

I am very easy going if I don't have to get close to you. I am known for being wierd, creative, and "larger than life", motivated, dominating, not trustworthy, funny, not afraid to look like an idiot, objective, and easy going. I can't spell to save my life and I am not a linear thinker. I hate paper work.

Intuitives, in general, wouldn't call themselves linear thinkers.
They are the kinds of people who can easily go from Step A to Step Z often without knowing how they got there.

Also I don't think anyone seriously likes paper work, ;)

It's hard to say if you are an ENTJ or ENTP but you know better than any of us do, :)
