ENTP Females I’ve Met (by an INFJ)

What I noticed and observed about them: (2 FEMALES)

They underestimate their social skills. They don’t think they’re good in socializing and even if they say that they hate it, they’re so annoyingly good at it. They just don’t realize it. They just dislike the thought of forced socialization–when they have to talk to people they’re not genuinely interested in. 

This continues on to the fact that they’ve got good social skills. They know that as long as they’re nice to people, they’ll be nice in return. But they do admit that only the first few hours of meeting people is exciting. If it reaches a certain point, socializing may get tiring and unbearable.

It’s true, they’re smart and they don’t even have to try hard. Genius people. Both of the ones I know are considered as the beauties with brains. One of the ENTPs I know learned in a rather different school environment where teachers would just leave their students in a quiet classroom to self-study– so she got used to learning on her own pace effectively and independently. The other ENTP I know has a curious mind and picks up things quickly–probably because she loves thinking a lot about how things work. I swear, they can study a few minutes before tests and ace them.

They hide their stress or well, they do their best to avoid it from getting to them. They pretty much don’t like dwelling on their problems and they find talking about stress or expressing their stress pointless. 

One ENTP female I know doesn’t appear extroverted at first but then you realize that she can actually thrive well in big groups–even if she says she hates parties. I don’t even know how she does it. But she really does prefer small groups.

The other ENTP female I know appears extroverted and is extroverted. But she really still prefers a small group of people because she tires out in big ones.

They are rebels. They go by their own rules. And they don’t do it to be cool. Their coolness is just natural. 

They two ENTP females I know are fashionable. They’ve got their own style and they pretty much surprise people by what they’re wearing. 

A lot of people like them and they have no idea why–like really, they have NO IDEA. Their ego doesn’t even inflate because of it. 

The two ENTP females almost always have suitors. They just attract people so easily– like they have this magnetism. However, they’ve only had a few relationships (or well, just flings) or even none. They seem to be in love with the idea of being in love, rather than actually being in love. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain but I feel like they feel this way. And well, it’s hard for them to find someone that really attracts them. They want to fall in love with someone’s mind and it’s hard to find those kinds of people nowadays. 

They love arguing in a nice and non-harmless way–just for fun. I guess they just want to see if anyone could try and prove them wrong. They actually do get competitive when it comes to things they believe in though. 

They are so fun to be with and when they’re around, the mood is just so light (they do it to remove the awkwardness–they could actually be really anxious inside but are so good at hiding it).

They tend to misplace and forget things and this trait of theirs may make them seem irresponsible and reckless. But this doesn’t stop them from being witty and intelligent people.  

They can’t be mean, even to the people that they secretly dislike (or even to people that dislike them). They forgive easily and don’t really care about how people perceive them and always choose to kill people with kindness; because they find hating people so tiring. They would rather watch people be slowly killed by their own conscience. They let karma do its work. 

There are days when they just don’t want to socialize and just wanna stay home and play Sims and be around their pet dog. Or binge-watch their favorite series. They can pretty much go both ways: be with people and be alone. 

One of the ENTPs I know gets so disappointed in herself when she doesn’t get a high grade (even if it’s ALREADY HIGH). They’re actually really hard on themselves but don’t show it, which is why they seem effortlessly smart.

When they end up failing though, they may end up bursting into tears because they have such high expectations of themselves. One of the ENTPs I know has an extremely strict parent who expects her to do well all the time; while the other one has a scholarship to maintain. 

Their sense of humor is the best. And their spontaneity. You feel a sense of belonging when you’re friends with them.

The two ENTP females I know get clumsy and it’s just really funny and cute and makes their personality even more real and perfect. 

Both of the ENTPs I know are the ultimate grammar-Nazis. They cringe every time they see wrong grammar and express their disgust for it with their close friends. (But typos are okay for them–probably because they keep making a bunch of them)

They are actually deep people– and they may hide this trait of theirs by putting on sunny and happy-go-lucky facades. But they’re actually really into poetry and they enjoy analyzing things in their spare time.

The ENTP females I know are good and skilled at a lot of things but they don’t even mention them; you have to be the ones to find out for yourself. One ENTP I know can play guitar and has been a valedictorian for years (which I didn’t even know about until people told me), and the other one I know is actually really good at sports and can sing. 

The stereotype of them wanting to do so many things but not actually starting or finishing them is so true. The two ENTPs I know keep sharing their ideas and goals in life and well they do start–but that’s all they end up doing. Starting.  

ENTPs don’t like things just to fit in or just to join the bandwagon. They like things because they truly like them. They aren’t here in this world to impress people–they’re here just to enjoy and express themselves with people that truly accept them for who they are.

p.s. I love ENTPs. (sorry if this post became pretty bias) Two of my best friends are ENTPs and man, I just can’t express how much I love and admire them. I don’t even think this post is good enough for them but well–in the future, I will make a post about why I personally think INFJs and ENTPs get along soooooo well. So watch out for that! :) 

Oh and I never got close to an ENTP male (or I’m just not sure) so this is why I labeled this as an “ENTP Females” post. But if you guys relate too, then well–that’s nice!

Shall I expose some ENTP secrets???

Don’t tell me what to do, I’m going to do it anyway.

1. We have no idea what’s going on. Like, ever. Not even one time.

2. We’re damn good at making you think that we know what’s going on, and that it was our plan all along.

3. We’re so frickin loyal it’s not even funny. We play it off like we don’t care about anyone, but we would legit do absolutely ANYTHING for those we care about.

4. If we’re trying to be extra funny, you know something’s up. We’re most likely covering up our emotions with a good ole unhealthy dose of sarcasm and depreciating humor.

5. Our secrets have secrets. We may seem like open books, but believe me. There’s sooo much more going on under the surface.

6. We absolutely need time for ourselves to think. We’re the kind of extroverts that you may have to drag to a party, but we’ll be the life of the party when we get there.

7. We. Need. Attention. For everything we do. Even though we give off this sort of “I don’t care what you think” vibe, we need constant validation, even just someone saying “oh cool”. We thrive to impress people, no matter how hard to believe that is.

8. We feel stress just the same as any other type. We just choose to bury it deep deep down where no one can see it, and let it blow up in our faces later.

9. I didn’t talk enough about validation. We have this hunger to do something and to be someone. We need to make a difference, somehow, somewhere.

10. We hate it when people have us figured out. We hate it even more when people only think that they have us figured out, but they’ve got us all wrong.

11. We hate to be ignored. Like, seriously. If we ask you for something, which is something we very rarely do, we expect you to take the time to listen to us.

12. We are the most caring assholes you’ll ever meet. We love to make people happy, but we’ll grumble about it the whole time.

13. We hate being overestimated. Underestimate us, please. We get strength from being the underdog. If we feel like you’re putting too much on us, we’ll just give up because we don’t see that it’s worth it to fail.

14. Challenge us. For the love of God, give us something to argue about. Complacency is a danger to us ENTPs, and it can lead us to very bad habits. We need someone or something that’ll spark our interest, or we’ll go insane.

15. We’re really full of mushy gushy stuff on the inside. No one’s supposed to know that.

16. We feel overwhelmed a lot, and when we do, you need to give us space to sort things out. Like, two minutes. Please.

17. We lie. Constantly. About everything. Watch your back.

18. We deserve respect. With everything that we do for the people around us, we deserve at least a little bit.

Ok, rant over. Sorry for exposing us for what we really are. Ciao

Mollymauk is an ENTP

Taliesin Jaffe is playn an ENTP

chellerrific replied to your post:

sits up grabs ur shoulders Mollymauk is an ENTP…

DEF one of the two accept no substitutes please share the rest of your thoughts because i may or may not have already been thinking about this (your surprised face)

“I’ve never seen a group of people more in need of a good time in my life” - opening line of ENTP trying to sell you Fun, because there is no hotter commodity.

The ‘patronize’ pun he pulls on Beau is 100% xNTx wordplay. Also Tal’s saying on talks that Molly doesn’t like Beau because she’s kinda apathetic-sarcastic (which is of course SUPER hypocritical, and also very ENTP)

Again, an ESTP would have -actual charisma -an actual fashion sense (that COAT)

The most bothered Molly got was when People were Stupid. “oh dear, we’ve been found out, our VERY CLEVER plot to destroy our OWN SHOW with a zombie has been discovered, whatever shall we do.” I think an ESTP would be far more pissed about the “going to prison” part (YOU’LL NEVER TAEK MAH FREEDOM), whereas the ENTP would be WAY more pissed that people are making such an OBVIOUS, BORing assUMPtion.

While you're doing lower functions, anything for lower Si? I'm ENTP, if it helps. I'm ENTP if it doesn't, too!

Hello, ENTP. Have a Doctor Who gif.

Pay more attention to your body. Try yoga, dancing, exercise (hoop dancing is a great low-impact way to learn to be graceful and coordinated – it worked for me and it’s great at toning your body) or keeping a notebook where you jot down what you ate or did and how you felt afterward. (If you can learn what causes those discomforting twinges, you’ll stop thinking you’re dying whenever you get a stomach ache from drinking chocolate milk and eating twinkies at the same time. You’re not dying of cancer!)

Take time at the end of each day to think back through your memories, experiences, conversations, and feelings in order to categorize them and process them fully, so you can remember stuff later and/or deal with things as they happen, which will reduce later periods of guilt, anxiety after the fact, or feelings you might not have dealt with. Nobody wants that crap inferior Si dragging up old stuff out of the blue, right?

Devote some time to music. Si is good at recognizing that which it knows or has experienced. If you pay attention to music, you’ll start noticing patterns and being able to recognize who composed what over time (I’ve been doing this since I was a kid – I can now pick up, say, Han Zimmer or John Williams’ musical scores within a few bars of the opening theme because I recognize the tone, tenor, and instruments they often use; I do it with voices too – I can usually know who the actor speaking is before seeing their face / reading their name, even in animated films where they’re altering their voice – it’s a lot of fun!).

Try cooking. I know it requires paying attention and your taste buds might suck just like mine (seriously, unless it’s hot / sweet / spicy, I literally cannot taste it) – but it’s a skill that you can develop over time and Si is quite good at picking out individual tastes and/or recognizing flavors once you know what they are.

Do art of some kind. Any kind. Scrapbook (you don’t have to use family photos, you know; I like to do albums for family and friends of everything I admire or love about them, and use pictures from the internet). Draw. Paint. Craft. Make cards. Become an expert at gift-wrapping with coordinated ribbons and paper or learn to spray paint art. Anything that forces you to be hands-on creative instead of intellectually creative. Try woodworking, or calligraphy, or building things, or painting murals, or coloring books with ten thousand details. You do have natural abilities to pair colors, make something look attractive, etc., if you can just train yourself to notice and/or care. (Just like I recommended for the lower Se’s – get yourself to the library and check out books on cooking, crafting, fashion, interior design, building things, etc.) The more you know about many different things, the more resources you’ll have mentally stored up to use in life.

Do something about your environment. You don’t have to live in a sparse space unless you want to. Your Si-dom cousins are terrific at stuff like surrounding themselves with the fabrics, colors, scents, music, etc., that they like. You can do it too, but you need to spend time finding out what you love and discovering all the different detailed things that exist to help you! (You can’t do awesome things unless you know about the tools that are out there to create with.) Try lots of new things. Feel fabrics. Smell candles (just not too many at once, or you’ll get a headache from over-sensory-smell stimulation like I d… never-mind). Notice how the colors in a room impact you – do you feel peaceful and calm with this color, or nervous and agitated? What do you WANT to feel in this space? (If this color gives you energy, put it wherever you want to be creative; if it makes you feel peaceful, the bedroom or reading spot might be perfect.)

Slow down. I know it’s a pain in the butt, it makes you feel like the world is moving in slow motion, but the best things take time to learn. Try lots of things, but the ones you really like, slow down and try to do them well. Si’s often learn to be really good at something by practice and watching other people to learn techniques. Don’t only watch YouTube instructional videos if you get stuck. Try them first. Try and take pleasure in the process of learning.

Get in touch with your past. If you do this, you won’t have angst later, and you’ll be less weirdly sentimental over strange things  Feel free to think about the past – voluntarily rather than under stress or a period of self-loathing. Try making photo albums, keeping records, writing stories about what happened to you and when, painting pictures to represent periods in your life, whatever strikes your fancy – anything that connects you to memories and helps you ground yourself.

Train yourself to try new things. You do this all the time with Ne, in conceptual realms – now try doing it physically. Don’t always order the same thing at that restaurant. Try something new. Paint that piece of furniture. Go a different way to class. You hate ruts. Don’t get stuck in a sensory rut.

Writers: take a scene from a movie and recreate it in writing, but without any dialogue as a writing exercise. This forces you to describe the actions of the characters, what is going on in the background, how the light looks, what’s happening in the environment. You know, those details intuitive writers miss! If you can train yourself to do this, you’ll notice more in your real-life environment too. :)

PS: Sorry, I know a lot of these examples are kinda feminine… I’m tired.

Tricks for Perceivers: ORGANISATION AND TIME MANAGEMENT

The basis of the first part of this post is that perceivers are most content when they can do stuff whenever they feel like doing them. The idea is therefore to trick your mind into thinking you feel like doing it instead of it being forced. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Change the To Do title to Would Like To Do/Could Do/May Do or something along those lines, whatever you heart desires Though this doesn’t particularly work for me it could for you so I threw it in there. It’s pretty self explanatory - it helps you perceive the tasks as if they’re desired instead of demanded.

2. Switch location (and keep switching it) As long at the place you’re doing the task at is giving you that feeling of novelty that makes you a little bit excited, that’s great. Once it gets too familiar, however, switch it. It doesn’t have to be a drastic change, it just has to be a different place - e.g. a different room, a different table at a library, the opposite side of the table that gives you a slightly different view, different cafe… I wouldn’t change the location until it feels too familiar though because this nevertheless is about keeping the interest higher while still primarily focusing on the task.

3. Work when you otherwise wouldn’t I sometimes wake up at 5 am to study for an hour and a half before I head to school. This is not because I’d enjoy waking up early since I generally love staying up pretty late but because if you decide to do something at a time that’s unusual for you, you’ll probably feel ahead of the game and as if you have your life put together. It’s literally just about putting yourself in the mood for being productive.

4. Play pretend Actually getting ready, dressing into professional clothes or something cozy yet still put together and everything that goes along with that doesn’t only make you appear like you’re a productive and organised individual, it also makes you feel that way which will likely boost your motivation.

However, you’re still a perceiver, so… How to not go crazy:

5. Schedule the “no schedule” time Make it long enough so it actually feels like you have some time without any limitations regarding what to do and when to do it. This is especially important when you have hectic schedules. It may seem inconvenient and as if you’re wasting your time if you do that during the hectic week but if you keep following insane schedules for too long you’ll eventually burn out and end up throwing away even more time. Make it possible so that one afternoon or whichever long enough part of the day in the midst of all the crazy days you’ll have nothing scheduled.

6. Don’t plan, visualise  Visualising allows you to imagine how you could spend your time in the future. This doesn’t put on the pressure to follow a strict schedule but it still makes you loosely determine what should be done the next day and when approximately. For me writing down a To Do list can be somewhat cool as long as I make it visually appealing but following it is a huge motivation drainer. So if I know that there are things that have to be done that already demand much attention and focus (e.g. studying), I avoid writing anything down, I stick to just having a loose schedule in my head.

7. The general rule When there are things scheduled for you, do not overschedule in the free time that’s left for you. When there’s little to nothing scheduled for you, schedule stuff for yourself to stay productive but only make 1 or 2 things per day strict. And not long. Add other stuff on the go.

8. Understand when you can work for a short time and when you just have to keep going to finish whatever you have to do  Generally perceivers handle quicker and shorter tasks much easierly than the lengthy ones but sometimes you cannot avoid the long study sessions unless you planned ahead to avoid studying one day before the exam… but that’s less likely I’d say. Some people suggest to take breaks but beware of falling into a void of distractions and end up searching up for like an hour (or more) some random things that suddenly become so interesting. Once you stop doing the boring task and allow yourself to do something more fun you have to trick yourself into following a schedule all over again and that’s a pain. If I know I have a very focus-oriented busy day ahead of me I’ll prepare mentally the day before and just try to make the best of it, avoiding the breaks as much as possible.

Hello! I’m an ENTP, and over the past year or so I’ve noticed my general energy and enthusiasm for life has steadily declined. I tend to get lost overusing my Ne to consider pointless, fictitious scenarios rather than paying attention to what goes on in real life. I would like to regain some degree of passion and have more energy. I realize that with dominant Ne I will always be a bit distracted, but I feel like my lack of energy to do ANYTHING is unusual. Any advice on breaking the funk?

Oh gosh.

This is a problem all the ENXPs I know (myself included) struggle with a lot, but I’m not sure what causes it in each of us rather than inertia and … laziness. See, Ne is the easiest function for you (and the rest of us) to use, which means taking your ideas and making them reality requires lower function interaction… that often involves hard work / analytical skills / follow-through… in other words, thinking functions and inferior Si.

This same inferior Si can cause issues by making you get stuck in a rut, fear you are wasting your life, not living up to your full potential, or that life will never change – the non-creative times in your life will cause you to fear the fog will never left, that you will fail on epic levels. The imbalance between Ne (new and exciting possibilities and ideas) and Si (learning from past mistakes and attending to details) can be… bad.

The myth that Ne-doms never do anything or finish anything is a stereotype; light a big enough fire under a Ne-dom (by choice or necessity) and they can and will get projects done, out of their own desire to see their ideas brought into the real world – that’s a healthy Ne-dom in action: make my ideas real.

Typically, Ne-doms find energy in something they feel passionate about – if you have steadily experienced a decrease in passion over the last year or so, it means somewhere along the way you lost your idealism and/or enthusiasm for whatever you were aiming toward. In other words, maybe you were going to medical school and all excited about that and found out a year in that it’s hard and detail-driven and you don’t like it near as much as you thought… so your passion waned and your energy alongside it.

The cure is to find something that energizes and excites you, which can push you to pursue it with energy instead of lapsing into dreaming and not doing.

A couple of things to remember, in general:

How you start your day matters. Your brain is a computer that has a limited amount of time to boot up in the morning – and how you choose to let it boot up will impact its mental coherency for the rest of the day. People who hit the snooze button and enter a half-sleep cycle fight lethargy the rest of the day; people who choose not to engage their mind and set a mentality of ‘start work’ find it harder to stay focused or get motivated; but the people who get up promptly and create a plan for the day often get a lot done.

When I heard about this, I legit thought that it was idiotic, so I decided to test it over a couple of weeks and monitor my mental process. The days I get right up and do something productive (write reviews, answer e-mails, even write on a book), I feel more alert / motivated for the entire rest of the day; and the days I lay around in bed, only chat with my friends, or watch Netflix before breakfast… forget it, I often have to ‘force’ myself to take action the rest of the day.

Set reasonable goals and reward yourself. If you have nothing to look forward to on the other end, why do it? Give your mind and body what it wants – something beyond a sense of accomplishment.

Exercise. N types tend to think a lot and move not so much. If you lack energy, exercise… it will build your stamina and give you more physical energy. :)

Good luck!

My little entp has depression. She is not herself and i want help her. I'm trying my best but is not enough. Any advices?

Hi nonnie!

I’m sorry that your friend is going through this. Depression is really difficult to beat or even manage, and sometimes it just spring up on ya and it’s just meh. But while you can’t solve it for her, there are things you can do to support her. 

Maybe the first thing about dealing with a friend’s depression is understanding it completely. It’s important to know that even when your friend may be acting like she’s not listening to you, or if she seems to be pulling away, it’s not about you. She’s just trying to deal. Also, know it can’t just be fixed by someone other than the person who is depressed (which makes it so hard to beat, my god). 

So as an ENTP who has persistent depressive disorder, I have a few tips that are actually like low-key super helpful for us. 

1. Make sure your ENTP eats

I find with the low Si, depressed ENTPs quickly forgo the small things required for taking care of ourselves. For me, it was food. I high-key just didn’t eat… and it wasn’t on purpose, I just didn’t care about anything and I forgot about food. My best friend began to ask me to go grocery shopping with her and she’d go out of her way to make me remember to get foods that I like– easy snack type foods that don’t require the effort (but keep me with sustenance). Other friends literally texted me to remind me to eat, and gradually I got back into the habit of eating all of my meals on time. But just eating takes away some of the burden of being tired already from depression. 

2. Invite the ENTP to exercise too

This take time because exercising literally isn’t fun (lol don’t @ me), but it’s good for you, and a great habit to get into to release those stress-reducing chemicals. Health health health hELPS. It really does. 

3. Be open to listening or even talking. 

So this depends on the person, but I found that for me, it realllllly helped me to talk about depression with people who had it before– I only learned this after a few months of therapy (which it’s hard to get to that point in the first place), but after therapy, whenever someone wanted to discuss depression, or its effects, knowing that you’re not the only one, and being able to share it with someone really helps. ENTPs really struggle with knowing what they’re feeling, and comprehending it, so the discussion kind of allows us (or at least it allowed me) to begin to process the problems that I was facing. 

4. Just be there!

This ties into literally all of them. But I have friends that randomly kept me in mind and invited me to random things, and it really helped to get me out of my head. There are up days and down days despite friends being around, and it’s hard to predict each day. But health is the first step because it helps sO much, and having a network of people around who she can trust is also wonderful. 

I really hope that your friend feels better, and she’s lucky to have you! Best of luck to you both. xx

In love with an idiot // I hope you meet someone brave enough to love you.

Tips on getting motivation back?

MOTIVATION IS A MYTH AND WILL NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Practice discipline and dedication. Know what you want and be willing to put in the work, even if you hate it.

Relying on motivation will leave your ass on the couch watching Netflix for 5 hours because you “don’t feel like studying/exercising/working” but dedication will tell you “bitch, get it together and get going!”

Hi,so I’m a 15 year old ENTP girl,and and for the last few months,I’ve been having some problems with depression,I never want to get out of bed, and I have no motivation todo anything I used to like to do.I really don’t have any friends, and nobody ever invites me anywhere and that’s a main reason that I’m not doing so well.I have a fear of always being alone and I always am🤷🏼‍♀️everyone hates me because of all the ENTP things I do but I really can’t stop..I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Ahh nonnie! I’m sorry you’re going through this, depression is hard and it’s really difficult to get out of the spiral and then stay out of the spiral. I really struggle with it as well. 

The depressed ENTP can have phases of being super isolated and then just plain annoying, but you know what!?? You can’t focus on that! Good friends should actually notice that something is wrong, and not hate you for it. Also, if they hate you, they need to find better things to do with their emotions and time. Regardless of that, what’s most important is that you get to a better place. You can’t focus too hard on your effects of people because it’s a symptom, so let’s solve the cause.

There are a few things and habits I have tried to form to keep myself good–and if not good, at least ok or functioning. And they are under the cut because this is a long post. :)

My Life as an ENTP (with anxiety out the wahzoo)

My name: Liz

My Type: ENTP

Enneagram: 6w7 (I think)

Extroverted Intuition (Ne):

One idea or image conjures a multitude of related ones instantaneously. I love playing with ideas and finding unusual or unexpected connections. I’ve always been respected for my ability to improvise or recognize a hidden connection, especially in academic writing. I’m interested in an an absolute TON of things, and it’s difficult to keep myself focused on one or two, which also makes me quite good at self-sabotage when it comes to the job market. As a child this was especially evident…I was totally into the idea of being both a meteorologist and a ballet dancer at the same time. Because why not?

Inferior Function Fascination

An interesting thing about the inferior function is that it can be a surprisingly noticeable part of a person’s personality.  I think people have a tendency to be fascinated by it.  I’d like to write about how each inferior function can show up in a positive way below.

ENXPs (inferior Si): Those with inferior Si can have a strong appreciation for things that remind them of positive experiences they’ve had in the past.  They can also have an appreciation for aesthetics and have sensory interests such as decorating, dance, etc.

IXFPs (inferior Te): Inferior Te can cause IXFPs to strongly admire efficiency and logic.  It may also cause them to be be good at leading groups of people.

EXTJs (inferior Fi): Inferior Fi can cause EXTJs to be interested in finding their identity and staying true to their values.  They may find that they enjoy emotional stories and making romantic gestures.

IXTPs (inferior Fe): People with inferior Fe may dislike social disharmony and take steps to avoid it.  They may be surprisingly interested in emotional stories as well.

INXJs (inferior Se): Inferior Se can lead to a love of beauty and sensory experience.  It may cause INXJs to have aesthetic or physical hobbies such as painting, dance, etc.

ESXPs (inferior Ni): Those with inferior Ni may show interest in discussing abstract topics and trust their intuition more than expected.  They may be interested in psychology or mystery novels.

EXFJs (inferior Ti): Inferior Ti can cause EXFJs to enjoy solving puzzles and challenging themselves.  They may also find themselves interested in how things work.

ISXJs (Inferior Ne): Inferior Ne may cause ISXJs to enjoy writing, travel, or anything that allows them to be creative and explore.  They may also be surprisingly spontaneous at times.

Little things about the mbti types & astronomy studies 🌌 [info]

Things about you that contrast every stereotype of your MBTI type

(and in general are extremely unlike your type)

Vs

Most stereotypical traits of your's

I'll start:

ESTP (7w6)

Unstereotypical:

I wrote fanfiction, had a phase in which i doodled everyday. Have had one relationship so far, don't drink alcohol and the last time i was at a party was more than a year ago. I also hate team sports with a passion. I love learning new languages and am a total TV show nerd.I also binge watch. Also I have never been in a physical fight. Lmao . Btw i also love to have philosophical conversations with special people and am generally attuned with analyzing my dreams and the meaning behind them. I usually take a lot of time to make friends (real friends).

VS

Stereotypical:

I love the gym , calisthenics etc. I love cars and traveling, and exploring new places with a passion. I generally prefer being outdoors to indoors. I like camping and sometimes am a adrenaline junkie.
