    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    What about those that type themselves INFp and ENFj .... aka me. Do you think I'm another type? I believe EIEs are more likely to mistype as a ego type but IEIs know themselves.

    good point. are you something else? (;




    @hkk - i don't know about what you've said, but i can say from my own experiences that it seems like alphas are least likely to mistype themselves.

    Which do you mean, that a non-alpha usually won't mistype him or herself as an alpha? Or an alpha usually won't mistype him/herself as a non-alpha?

    Reject "all" evidence is of course exaggerated, but I think that, theoretically, you have a point.

    You can add: to make said conclusion fit a logical structure, thereby seemingly reinforcing it.

    I think you're ISFp... you seem way too comfortable with being INFp.... :wink: Si has nothing to do with grace or clumsiness either. You are also not as confrontational...
    Also, your time here.. to become INFp, has it made you more or less comfortable with yourself... wait.... you're probably more comfortable right...
    Si-role or Si-dominant... I think you might have mistaken your in-securities for your motives.. You motive for learning about yourself? Was it to become comfortable?

    The thing is.. INFp... don't /want/ to be comfortable with themselves...

    You're young.. you want stuff to be exciting right now in your life. Your hormones are kicking it up a notch. But once you settle and rest and really reflect on what you really want, I think you'll find you're going to be comfortable with comfort.

    Oh yea... I have a ulterior motive... I am going to build a ray to turn all cute INFp's girls into ISFp's and mount this ray on sharks. SharksWithLazersPewPewPew
    You're kidding, right?

    I'm thinking more like:

    is certainty and simplicity.( cracker, bionic and me)

    is uncertainty and complexity.(XoX and Johnathan)

    So when these types are looking for their type I think would try to make things as uncertain as possible and maybe even try and confuse themselves to find some sort of complexity.
    And would try to make things as certain as possible and maybe even try and block out information that would cause any unnessary complexity.

    Ehh, I dunno if I agree with this. I'm not even sure if XoX is but if they are ... I don't really like to make things too complex in regards to my own type. I think a person should know who they are and to spend so much time over-analyzing after the initial confusion seems a bit overboard. If this is simplicity, pfft, I'll be then. It seems to me that some people like to make themselves out to be this mysterious typeless thing when I do believe that deep down, they know what they value, they just enjoy making a mess out of it.

    Actually is more proper for the "vigorously defend the typing" aspect. is more related to attributing differences in opinion to emotional rather than factual concerns.

    and are subdued. They are simply given less importance than and .

    It's the same thing actually.

    That sounds correct.
