Hi Reddit, first time posting but I’ve been into MBTI for years now, and have always identified as an INTJ, but I’ve never been 100% certain on it. My test results are always very close together, and always Ne/Ni > Ti/Te/Fi > Fe/Se/Si. I’ve attached a few different ones I’ve done (their decisions in order were ENFP, INTJ, ENTP and INTP), and also added up my results from each for an overview.

I’ve always been pretty rubbish at understanding how I come off to others, so I’d appreciate a bit of input! Here’s some of the questions from the list…

• Give a general description of yourself. How old are you?
23F from the UK! I find it so hard to describe myself haha but I’m an artist and writer, and I’m very into anything unusual, mysterious and creepy. I would generally consider myself alternative. I’m an animal lover and equestrian too, and I’m definitely better with animals than people. I think the most typical impression I give people is “odd, but nice enough”.

• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I recently got made redundant but I worked in business admin / support / PA sort of thing. I didn’t dislike it, I actually quite enjoyed the work itself and won a company award after a year but it wasn’t until I got made redundant that I realised it drained the life out of me. I don’t think I’m very suited to office environments, I can’t be asked with office politics and having to keep up a friendly corporate persona was soul destroying to the point where I felt like I didn’t know who I really was anymore. Previously, I worked in a tattoo studio which was great fun and very interesting but again, I didn’t quite fit in with the people there.
Having some time unemployed to actually be myself again and realising how different I am outside of strict environments is what’s prompted me to write all this!

• Describe your childhood/upbringing.
My childhood was pretty good really, my mum is lovely, and my dad’s… an ESTJ lmao. As a kid, I always had friends but was never “popular”, I got on with everyone but was always somewhere inbetween. I’ve always been socially competent but content to be alone, and usually had close friend groups of 2-4.
I loved art and writing as a kid and still do, I’d come up with whole universes, design all the characters and write and illustrate short stories about them (aged 6 onwards). I would start so many I didn’t often finish them but always had fun with them. I would also get incredibly frustrated if things weren’t perfect or if I wasn’t good at something.
I was always top of my class at school but lazy. Homework was always done but always last minute, and I would always finish my work as quickly as possible so I could sit and draw the rest of the lesson. I don’t think I’ve ever revised for an exam beyond skimming through a borrowed textbook half an hour before it.

• Do you have any mental or physical health issues that might affect how think or choose to live?
My general mental health as a teenager was… rough, but I’m doing fine now. Undiagnosed but I would not be surprised if I had ADHD or autism. Or both. Worth noting I first typed myself as a teenager as INTJ, but I was very unhealthy at the time hence why I’m unsure if it was a mistype.

• How curious are you? What are your curiosities about?
I’m incredibly curious (and just straight up nosey sometimes haha), I love to know things and I’m that friend who has a strange fact to share regardless of the situation, and I have no idea where or when I learnt said fact. I’m particularly interested in unsolved mysteries, paranormal events (even if I’m not exactly sold on ghosts, I just think it’s fun to consider what these things could be caused by), animals/nature, science.

• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it?
I’ll only lead if no one else will. I’m more of a second in command type. I’m okay at it, but I’m definitely no Te dom. I’d hate an actual leadership position as a job.

• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art?
I am! Probably a useful point is that whilst I am very creative in a literary sense, I’m not really in a visual or emotive one. I can come up with endless story plots and narratives, but my art only ever takes inspiration from my writing, or cool things I’ve seen and been inspired by aesthetically. I never draw from my feelings or personal experiences, I love art that does and I’ve tried but it just doesn’t work for me. I’m far better at putting those sorts of things into words than images.

• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
I am generally helpful if I have the capacity for it, or if someone’s doing something so badly it’s annoying me enough that I’d rather do it myself haha. I genuinely don’t mind doing small favours or things I actually find interesting myself, but it’ll have to be someone very special for me to help with something boring or that eats a large chunk of my time.
I will go out of my way to help animals, though. I’m the person that’ll catch injured pigeons and loose dogs, feed the birds and hedgehogs, and move roadkill and dead or dying animals out of the way.

• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
It depends on what I’m doing, but I prefer not to take excessively long amounts of time on things so I don’t get bored. I will admit I’m quite lazy, it takes me ages to get going with something, but once I start, I will do a good job and I’ll get it done quickly.

And just some general bits you mind find helpful…
I’m very intuitive to the point it freaks people out. I can read someone from quite literally the first time I make eye contact and have had some very strong and very accurate gut reactions. I can read tarot cards and whilst I am naturally quite sceptical, they’ve also never been wrong for me so I’m inclined to trust them. My pattern recognition abilities are also very good.

I can be wildly inconsistent with things. All of my drawers are organised with dividers and all of my stuff has a home, but I will also just leave a pile of washing sat on the side for three days instead of putting it away. People also seem to get very different impressions of me, some think I’m funny, bubbly and chatty, others find me quiet, awkward and off putting. Everyone thinks I’m a bit strange though and that’s fair haha.

I’m quite minimalistic, I don’t like having stuff everywhere or owning several of the same thing and I hate people buying me presents. I like fashion but I only have a small wardrobe and I don’t shop much. None of this stops me from bringing home an endless amount of cool rocks and random feathers.

I never really think about the past naturally, I have to consciously look back and analyse things and tend to do this through journalling or meditating. I’m naturally future driven but that’s gotten a bit depressing recently so I’ve been trying to live more in the present and short term future.

I get on best with INFJs and INTPs, they make up most of my friends, with my best friends both being INFJs. I like ENFPs a lot as well, and I do like INFPs but tend to accidentally offend them… oops.

I’m not an argumentative person and can be sensitive sometimes. I’ll speak up for myself and others when necessary, but I just cannot be bothered with genuinely arguing. I do enjoy a playful wind up and can be purposely annoying when I get going, but I never intend to be hurtful. I can take what I give, but I will genuinely get hurt by jokes or comments aimed at things I actually care about or am insecure about.

If you’re into astrology, I’m a Sagittarius sun, Pisces moon and Cancer rising. I don’t really believe in astrology, it’s just a bit of fun to me, but I do at least somewhat relate to my signs.

I think I’ve rambled enough there but any typing help is very appreciated! I’ve never had an outside perspective from anyone who understands MBTI so very interested to see what you guys think. Feel free to ask anything further. Thanks! :)

My looks might deceived you at first, so stay tuned.

I’m very easy to talk to. Hell, I might just come straight to you and talk to you, especially at school and company.

“Work hard, play harder” & “What can kill you makes you stronger” is my motto. Why is it so true to me? Observation and self-reflection

Because I don’t like to giving much of the book’s hints, so, I’ll be detailed about my hobbies, thoughts, etc. I like to go out, listen to people that I love and care, talk to all sort of topics that related in academic, psychology, karaoke, and reading book if I was being by myself. I don’t like routine since it trapped my flows, and I’m bad at following one too lol, but I can easily produce an almost good result/product in a quick amount of time, idk why, but I just do it quick and do it good(just not the best).

Weird hobbies: obsessed with infrastructures, public transport system. Literally, feel orgasm looking at the Shinjuku’s metro station blueprint.

I will talk a lot when you work with me, and outsite of work, you will find the opposite of me, unless you get to know me more and I start trusting and opening my inner world to you. Because I could be tough outside, but my closed one are the one easily impact me, that’s why I have to be selective at this, a kind, knowlegable, morally good, love for improving is something that I’d adored of a person.

And how other people described me. Some said that I am the most reliable to play with, cheerful, helpful, warm, determined. Others said that I’m intimidating, blunt, arrogant, workaholic(working on improving all that). I do cry too, alone, when I got betrayed, realized that I’m getting taking for granted, when I burnout and my workloads burden me, I felt like a burden to everyone.

could possibly be mistyped i want to know just to be sure. I feel like i fit infp heavily.
I notice everything even the small details and patterns that nobody else could notice, I’m a quiet introverted kind of person, I tend to constantly be in my head thinking about new possibilities, I’m very empathetic and helpful without being asked, and im very kind to others, I get sometimes overwhelmed when things dont go my way, I am very authentic, for example if someone doesn’t have the same moral beliefs as me I get defensive. it taked me seconds to process my emotions, i almost instantly feel my emotions i am highly sensitive. i am a visual learner and if i dont see something physically i just dont understand it, sometimes if i dont know exactly what to do i just come up with different scenarios in my head of how things are going to play out, for example if i had a test and i knew none of the answers i would overthink every question and think there is something more to it that im missing

I posted a couple days ago something similar to this.

I don't really believe in tests but since the weaknesses and strengths are known I decided to give it a go.

I used to believe I was an INTJ then transitioned to INTP before landing at ENTP and now I'm confused.

Firstly, an ENTP's function stack is Ne - Ti - Fe - Si - Ni - Te - Fi - Se, keep that in mind.

If your familiar with POLR functions, ENTP's would be Fi.

If your not, a quick brief! In MBTI theory, the 7th function is widely considered the weakest due to it directly opposing the dominant function.

Anyway, in many tests like these I tend to rank significantly higher in Fe than Fi. However, as you can see my Ne is substantially high which makes this an anomaly. I acknowledge that there are 16 types and majority of people wouldn't acutely fit into a box, if anyone at all. But, if you're following you probably get the point, yes?

Now, I don't really know if I'm ENTP, INTP, INTJ, or ENFP but I feel disconnected to both Fe and Fi so having Fi as a second function seems bold to me. But, if ypu believe I'm an ENFP and you can genuinely prove that It's possible than I have no issue.

Also, some important information about myself is that I have AuDHD and alexithymia so my experience under MBTI is very nuanced I would say and hard to label.

But, if you have any questions, assumptions, anything to add, etc please do leave it in the comments and I'll try to respond to questions.

So I’ve been trying to figure out what my type is. I am also trying to learn more about cognitive functions as well but it’s still a little hard for me to grasp my head around what it is that I am. Nothing seems to resonate anymore after breaking huge patterns & lifestyle changes. I am a 28 years old & probably going through a quarter-life crisis.

For context, I was a ENFJ for the longest time. Now I’ve been consistently typed as ENTJ/ESTJ. I used to care a lot about what people thought about me and about themselves. I was your classic ENFJ that would prioritize group harmony & people’s feelings over everything. But I’ve completely burned out over the past 6 years. Most of my friends are stuck in their own misery because no one actually puts any action into personal development and/or their careers. All the advice that they come to me for are almost never taken, and they expect me to time and time again be the person they can go to for support. While I do understand that sometimes our friends just need me to play that role of support & encouragement— I don’t see a point in it. Nothing is going to change if they don’t try to be more introspective for themselves or work on things we talk about.

My friends and I come from a pretty traditional Asian daughter background, woman are expected to marry and settle down. After leaving two long term relationships, I’ve concluded that marriage is not for me. While we as human, are wired for connection, I just don’t think it’s something worth investing any more time into especially in this day and age. Maybe one day if someone manages to pique my interest or impress me though I highly doubt it.

I’ve become less emotionally available over the years and my entire life is spent around work, how to grow career wise, how to become more efficient & productive while struggling with ADHD. I’m really hard on myself because ADHD makes me feel incompetent and so I’m working really hard on helping myself & eventually getting the help I need especially because it affects my work. I am often late and work late because I have poor time management.

I still care and show up for my family, attend traditional family events (not because I am obligated but because I want to) and take care of my underage niece who is fully under my care. I prioritize work, family, & personal development.

Not sure if my MBTI & Enneagram has changed after all the things I’ve gone through or if I’m just an unhealthy ENFJ who’s leaning heavily in my Ti & Se functions hence why I am getting ENTJ/ESTJ. I can see ENFJ because that’s what I identified with for the longest time, but I also see ENTJ. However (maybe this is stereotypical) ENTJ doesn’t seem to resonate because I’m not that extreme about optimization.

What are your thoughts? Send me what free sites you use to figure out your type. I really enjoy MBTI quizzes and content but it’s hard for me to fully enjoy it sometimes with how confused I am about what I actually resonate with.

I know my mbti and enneagram but I’m curious to see if you guys can get it. I’m the type of person when they see an opportunity to talk to someone, they will. I talk quite a bit but I can also be quiet at times since a lot of the time I just don’t have an idea on what to say, and I really don’t like repeating myself. So, I do best in group conversation with like 3 or 4 people since I can talk about something other than the little that’s in my head. I do think quite a bit though, and my thoughts are disconnected but I have these few topics that I go back to repeatedly but I view them somewhat through a different lens.

I love connecting with people and being present in an environment with others. I also love hearing new perspectives on things, especially ones I’ve never thought of. I have a lot of things I like to do, and I love doing new things, but the majority of the time I go to my comfort hobbies. I’ve been described as outgoing, a critical thinker, well grounded, engaging, warm, friendly, etc.

I like asking others for their advice and input on things, but sometimes I need to put my foot down and go by what I think on the things I truly value. I want to be liked as a person and I value this a lot, so when someone doesn’t call me back I think they hate me and I come up with a reason why, but I won’t fold on my major values for someone else. I get most of my morals from the outside world, and I can easily change my perspective, and when I make decisions when the group wants something else, I’ll compromise with the group so both me and the group will be happy.

I am 22 years old, female, autistic and trying to find out my mbti, enneagram/wing and tritype. When I’m alone, I’m not sure what I think about(mainly cause I forget💀😭). It could be random things or ideas. My memory isn’t too good, but from what I can remember, I usually think about how I can become the kind of person I want to be, expressive, fun, loving, outgoing, a social butterfly and I sometimes imagine how parts of my life would be if I acted that way, the way I really want to be that could also help me have lots of friends and have this positive “main character energy”. I also think about my favorite characters, games or anime, hobbies I have (guitar, drawing, baking, singing) and I think about things I want to make or bake and I think about mbti a lot and wonder what I could be, like I think something and then think “this could be Ne/Fi etc.” and I think a lot about what my enneagram is because I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m not sure what I get excited about since my memory isn’t good but I think I usually get excited about getting better at my hobbies, getting new things like plushies art supplies, books or having my favorite foods, finding out things I like, going somewhere fun with my family, watching a movie with my family(especially if it’s something we all enjoy or something new that looks interesting). When my family plans a road trip together, I like to plan and search for multiple fun things I could do so I don’t get bored, even tho I could end up sleeping some of the time. I got really excited for new highlighters because I’ve been waiting to use them on my bible since they’re glittery and I LOVE glitter, I was excited for the new kittens we got from my grandparents because they were Siamese and I LOVE Siamese cats and they were so cute, we’ve been wanting some for a while. I get excited when I hear someone shredding on guitar or playing good riffs since it’s my favourite instrument and my dream to be good at playing and to able to play in front of church for worship one day but practice takes time and I lose motivation easily but listening to others play and thinking about my dream helps me try to stay motivated. I tried making it a daily routine so it could be something I’m used to and I won’t stop practicing once I stop feeling motivated. I don’t have that good of social skills but I’m trying my best to learn and try to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I found out not too long ago that I don’t have very good communication skills, and I haven’t really talked to many people outside of home. I get really excited after talking to people because I feel like I’m improving, especially since I haven’t talked to many people outside of home. I try to watch how other people communicate or watch videos on my favourite characters on whose personality I like so I can try to mimic them and understand what I have to change. I realize things like “maybe when I smile, I don’t look happy enough and people might be thinking I don’t look very approachable” or things like that. I also realized that even with my family, I don’t talk much and I’m trying to search up on google or watch videos on how I can become more talkative because I think that’s one of the reasons why people don’t talk to me much. At home or with my online friend, I don’t talk TOO much but I do like to joke around a lot, make references and I love being fun, funny and expressive. I make funny references from movies that remind me of whatever comes to mind at the moment. I talk about my interests like the games I play or I like to share funny things that happen. At church, when talking to friends, I’m pretty quiet but I try my best to be more talkative and expressive since I think those are what make people want to talk to you even more. I like meeting new people, I always feel really happy after talking to people or knowing that I’m doing better at communicating and trying to engage in conversations or also getting better at being more like myself with others and not being shy. I also think I investigate things in my head a lot or come up with ideas but don’t really do anything to follow through with them. Sometimes I’ll think of an idea or something and add to it more or change a few things about what I should do for an art video, guitar or as a post on my story based on a song I listen to or just a random thought and then I think if I should do it or not and if I choose that I want to, most of the time I forget almost right away, even if I think they’re good ideas that I really want to do. When I sad, jealous, disappointed, angry or anxious, I vent to a friend or family member and I might need some time alone. In my time alone, I like to watch videos of my favourite characters which usually makes me feel a lot better. Sometimes, I’ll watch videos that have sad music or videos where people relate to what I feel. When I’m embarrassed, I’ll try my best not to think about it or tell myself that it’s okay and they’ll forget about it and maybe it’s not a big of a deal as it is in my head and I’ll try to distract myself from thinking about it. When I’m jealous, if it’s because of someone doing a hobby and they’re better at it then I am, I’ll think something like “it’s fine, I’ll keep practicing and I’ll be good too” or I’m better at doing my kind of songs(on guitar) and they’re better at their kind of songs. If it’s jealousy because of my mom spending more time with my siblings or my sister talking more to my friends, I’ll try to push myself in more so that I’m in the conversations too and not left out. I overthink but I think about them a lot and I try to distract myself with other things. I withdraw a lot if it’s something with my friend and sometimes I can’t tell them what the problem is because I don’t want them to feel bad or upset or anything and they try to confront the problem because communication is important and try to make me tell them what it is. I try to even if I really can’t get myself to, which usually takes a minute. I like reassurance sometimes but sometimes I really really don’t want any. Sometimes reassurance doesn’t help and it feels like it’s a lie or I might be used to doing things on my own and don’t want help with my problems and I might sit with them in my head for a little while and then get distracted with other things we talk about and I’ll be good later. When I’m super annoyed and stressed, I want to isolate myself and be alone. If someone talks to me or anything, I’ll get super mad and annoyed and probably say a lot of bad things in my head. Like if someone asks me to do something and I randomly get in a bad mood, I’ll hurry up and do it and not really care much if it’ll hurt someone but I’ll just get what needs to be done done while being super mad and annoyed and I’ll leave to isolate myself. In friendships and relationships, I want real love and to be able to be my true, raw self. I feel close to someone when we share similar interests or when we don’t judge each other or help each other out and trust each other. What hurts me is when someone I trust makes fun of things I love or tells people my secrets that I trusted them with. I hate being ignored or disrespected or misunderstood or left out. When I feel ignored, misunderstood, left out or unimportant, if my friend was like that, I’d push them away as well and I’d stop talking to them and put sad things on my story. I’d show them signs that I’m not happy and that I’m hurt or I’d try showing them that I don’t care and I’ll put posts on my story about my favourite interests and that I’m using my time on things I love and not being sad over them because I don’t want them to know that they controlled my feelings as much as they did. It could change a lot and I won’t know which to choose based on what I’m thinking they’ll be thinking when they see my stories on instagram. It could change multiple times in a day honestly. I would love being a productive person, living my life always happy and excited and enjoying things like cleaning or fixing my bed with a smile all the time. I’d enjoy having fun things to look forward to every day and being able to practice my hobbies every day and have no anxiety or social anxiety at all and having my room looking all fun and cute and having lots of friends but only a few really close friends. I would enjoy being able to be the person I really want to be and not having any secrets and being able to share everything I like without having to be judged. My dreams are be able to talk to anyone at all without being nervous and just be able to talk to them like they’re a good friend even tho I don’t know the person. My dreams are also to have my own business, either merch using my art or bakery. I’m thinking maybe both or maybe start with one and add the other later so I can enjoy doing both as a job. People say that you shouldn’t choose doing something you love because it’ll feel like a job later but I want to try it for myself and I want to make cute things like other people do. I want to be able to love without fear or worry or anything. What usually keeps me from living the way I want is fear, or fear of judgment, not understanding how I can be how I dream of being, too much procrastination, fear of not being the way my parents want me to be. I procrastinate a lot. Since I do college, I plan what I have to do for each day so I can have a few days of free time, but instead of actually doing it, I end up playing games or searching up something I’ve been interested in, like mbti, art or guitar. It’s hard for me to keep up with routines, I can for a few days but end up being forgetful or being bored of routines and tired of them. I try to make routines and I go through with them for maybe a few days and then I either get tired of them or I just forget. It’s hard for me to be disciplined sometimes as well. When I start something new, like a drawing, a song to learn on guitar or a sewing project, I’ll sometimes be halfway done or I can see a bit of progress but I won’t actually finish it unless it’s something fast. I was working on an animation because I really wanted to become an animator before and I just couldn’t get myself to finish it because I just get tired of things that take long, which is also why I try to change my style into a more simple style so I can finish drawings faster and move onto the next one. Same thing with when I start a new anime or when I get hyperfixated on a hobby, I think about them a lot but I’ll almost never actually continue it because I guess I’ve already gotten bored after thinking about them for so long or something.

Recently found out about 6w5 enneagram and found that to be the most accurate in terms of the good and bad of the way I am. However my mbti as you can see is a bit all over the place. More often than not I test for INFJ while additionally testing for ISFJ, INTJ, ISTJ, and occasionally INTP. As a person I am typically quite grounded and calm. Im also pretty friendly and personable able to have empathy and care about people and loved ones but don’t always have good advice and understand other people’s emotions. My personable nature doesn’t mean I put that at the expense of what’s right, fair, and logical. Im a big over thinker going over the many points and outcomes of a situation while trying to condense them down into a singular sensible idea. Let me know what you guys think :)
