ENTps do you see ISFps as better than yourself?

I tend to see SEI's better skilled in areas I wish I had skills. They have no problems talking to people they don't know. They are down to earth, and will come up with practical solutions I would have never have thought of to problems. They are great at artistics things. I like the level of detail they give when discussing something that happen to them.


Also I've seen them get distracted by something, taking place elsewhere in the room, in the middle of conversation and come back right where they left off without missing a beat. Sometimes even hearing what I said while they were distracted, and shooting back with a response. If I did that I would totally forget what was going on, and start talking about something new.


Oh they are very intelligent too.

They have no problems talking to people they don't know.

That is entirely untrue. Once the other person starts talking or there is an opening when I can start talking, I can talk with Fe and such.

Last month, after I took the ACT, there was this cute girl who probably had a cell phone. It took me literally 5 minutes to work up the courage to talk to her. So, no, I have problems.

You are right. What I mean was I percieve the use of Fe and such by SEI as being natural. Therefore I get the sense SEIs talking with strangers is easier for them . I was generalizing. However I do not expect how I precieve something you are doing to be entirely true from your perspective. Especially with a common, isolated situation of a male wanting to talk to a cute girl. Lots of males get that type of anxiety.

On the other hand, I sporadically talk to people I do not know. I also sporadically talk to people I do know. It's a Fi polr thing. Sometimes I just don't know if I am being well recieved while I feel I should always be well recieved. It is an interest thing too. I tend to talk to people only if I find something unique about them that no one has notice.

I should also note when I refer to SEIs I am talking mostly about female SEIs. I know quite a few of them. I only know one male SEI who was my manager at my last job. Quite different because of pressure to gender specific roles society tends to place on us.

Totally not easy!!!


I think we can appear to be naturals at talking to starngers, when inside we are most likely shitting ourselves.

I would be interested to know more about that.

This is comforting

I'm not sure about others but I don't shit myself talking to strangers, I just don't feel like I can be arsed sometimes. Wish I could.
