Ah, so there’s a fellow ENFP on this forum

im an INFP! I think thats rare?

I’m only one letter different from you

Took the test again, and im now apparently an INFP? I really dont know what personality I could be anymore, as I've gotten ISTP, INTP, ISFP, and INFP. Im definitely an IxxP, but out of all of them I dont know which one I am.

You might try to take the test on a different website!
Some of them change the questions over time, and the result may vary. It can also depend on your mood while you're taking the test.
Personally, I found it more helpful to look at the posts in the subreddit about the personality type I thought to be, and over time I could relate to ENTJs more and more, realising it was clear I am an ENTJ as well

I took the test again and yeah, it still says I am ENTJ and I am not surprised
As I mentioned before, it became more obvious to me that I am ENTJ over time, probably also because I recently got a full-time job and it made me discover and confirm some things about my personality, like my way of thinking, making decisions and the way I manage my feelings and emotions.
One thing that always made me doubt I'm ENTJ is that I struggle a lot with low self-esteem, ENTJs usually are high-confident people while I.. heh, I have had a difficult past and now I often question my abilities and physical appearance, but at the same time since I have this strong superiority feeling which is a very ENTJ-like thing.

Well, you don't act like you have no confidence as far as I've seen, it seems to be more of an internal thing for you.

And about the superiority, I guess being both Thinking and Judging makes you very analytical, which totally matches you. You probably feel (I mean think) we -FPs are so silly! ...until you challenge me to a duel and we have the most intense iNtuition beam clash

I think this really makes sense for you, it stands out a lot to be Ne dominant at least, given the creativity. Then Fi is more about your inner beliefs / morals, which you would go by rather than what other people would think. Fe is more about needing to hear other people's perspective on things and get their opinion (which is me, I will question if I'm wrong and ask someone else etc.), while Fi draws from within and has their own moral compass, their beliefs come from within. It would be similar for your INFP friend but they will be Fi before Ne, meaning they will think first what you would think second and vice versa. Still pretty compatible and it makes sense.

One letter makes a massive difference, especially when it's P vs J (every single cognitive function flips to introverted / extraverted). This leads to an extremely different personality.

It's not really about confidence, but more about how you think. If you are an ENTJ, you will be Te Ni Se Fi. This means you prioritise getting things done and being as efficient as possible (it's often associated with being goal oriented), without going down the rabbit hole to find an even better solution if you already have one which works. Unfortunately I am the opposite as an ISFJ, and I have Ti (Si Fe Ti Ne), so I literally go overboard trying to improve what already works when it's not even necessary (and also worry too much about things that could go wrong and catastrophise). I wish I could be more like a Te user in this way and just stop messing with things when they're good enough.

Then you have Ni, which is all about realising in your head how things are most likely going to unfold in the future. You might be able to take a million ideas and make it into one cohesive idea with a more linear direction, while an Ne user like Ad could take one idea and break it into a million other ideas instead. If both of these things sound like you, then you likely are ENTJ.

I also heard before that an ExTJ will often disregard their own feelings for the sake of being efficient. They may even disregard who they are or not know themselves, and be who they feel like they need to be in order to get things done.

EDIT: I just tried the test on the first page again for the sake of it, and it gave me INFJ. I really don't think I can see myself as that rather than ISFJ, unless I'm really that oblivious to how I think and function. I find these letter dichotomy tests that don't use functions for the results as far less reliable.
ISFJ = Si Fe Ti Ne
INFJ = Ni Fe Ti Se

Unless I completely misunderstand what Si is and everything I read was a lie, I don't think I am INFJ.

Ohhh MBTI! I'm actually very into it hahaha. In case it wasn't shared already, I'd recommend doing the Michael Caloz test since it's the most accurate I've seen imo! However while I say I'm an INFJ, I do still struggle to find my type since apparently INFJ's are wizards experts at reading other people and I'm Autistic lol

At least you seem to have a firm grip of what type you are. Meanwhile I don't think I'll have a clear consensus on what type I am (nor do i think it will bother me that much as long as I'm sure of myself). Took the original test yesterday and got ISFJ.

I think what's really bothering me about these tests is that a lot of the questions I tend to not have a clear answer to bc I either haven't done anything described in the question recently or just don't have an opinion about it which is why I keep getting a different result each time. There's also the fact that my psyche is liable to change over time (clearly it has over the past 6 years), which is funny cuz I don't like when things change.

Oh yeah, you gave me those vibes! I think it's more around the middle though. In any case, I think rarity among MBTI types is probably not very accurate since there seems to be an abundance of intuitive-types online and apparently they're supposed to be rare. Either tests are wrong, or how rare personalities are is wrong. Or perhaps both, in any case I think judging types based on how rare they are can be pretty harmful!

Yeah... definitely intuitive bias on tests. As an (probably) INFJ, I got INFP on that test (P = 6%) which is completely off since since I'm pretty sure am on the Fe-Ti axis.... and again, there is a great difference function-wise between P and J. From what I read, you also seem to understand functions pretty well so I trust your ISFJ judgement

The ironic thing here is that if you don't like change, you are most likely Si (introverted sensing), which an ISFJ is Si dominant. Having Si as your primary function is xSxJ, and I also don't like change so I know all about it.

I guess that would make sense also as to why you love replaying games you have played before, it's comforting to you, which would make a lot of sense to an Si user. I have often done the same thing, even just replaying games I played as a kid because it's both nostalgic and just very nice to relive.

I agree that there is definitely an extremely intuitive bias on tests. A lot of people happen to even have a sense of thinking being intuitive is superior and that being a sensor means you are less intellilgent or "shallow". This even causes people to purposefully test as intuitive types even if they aren't etc.

I am also on the Fe-Ti axis, and also yeah the difference between P and J is completely inverted introverted / extraverted functions, so it's the biggest difference between all letters ironically.

I read into it a lot, but I still don't understand everything there is to know. I get the gist of it at least, and I guess you may know a thing or two about the functions also.

No one ever told me this before, it might be true.

Definitely me, I hate emotions so much and I often wish I was a robot, emotions make me less productive by making everything slower and harder.

Oh, nice test!
I tried it out and.. my first result is ENTJ with 90 points

Oh yes that's annoying, what I do is not answer these questions or leave a neutral one if possible because they could change the result

Probably quite plausible as an ENTJ then if you actually prioritise that even at the expense of your own well being without even thinking about it. More about getting the job done and also having very high standards for things too. I feel I also have high standards for things, but in a different manner. For me, it's usually because I see things as personal projects and want them to be the best they can be. I also can not stand uncertainty, and I often get annoyed when I don't know what's going on or there is no news for a long time etc. I think I can be harsh and judgemental in some ways even if I don't mean it, though I do like to help people and look out for them.

I did this test before also. I got INTP on it with 92 points, while ISFJ was 88 points. This is because they share the same functions of course, despite them being in a different order. I always got mixed up for quite some time between INTP or ISFJ. I always got INTP on it, but I also feel like I was being a bit ignorant to certain questions at one point instead of saying how I really think. My most recent attempt at it was as above, and that was only a month ago.

It also seems that HumanMetrics test in the first post of this thread has given me INFJ on more than one occasion, but I am definitely an Si dominant user and not an Ni dominant. This is extremely clear to me and anyone who knows me well enough.

I don't like a lot of the tests for this reason, and understanding how the functions work and which ones you use makes more sense to rule it out. Tests often go on stereotypical stuff that isn't true (such as Ni = wizard, which would mean INxJ are all just Dumbledore), and a lot of the tests try to ask questions about a person's lifestyle and / or interests. This doesn't mean anything, as any type can have any lifestyle or set of interests. The questions should be solely based on cognitive functions, how you think, the order you think about things and prioritise those cognitive functions in. Silly questions that make it out that J = extremely organised with a lot of notes and to do lists, and P = cluttered desk, no plan at all and just doing things as they come (go with the flow) are extremely misleading. Anyone who does these tests needs to know that it doesn't work like this in reality, it's way too black and white to say things like this and there are a lot of grey areas involved.

Wow, this is actually one of the best personality tests I've taken. Thanks to this test, I have a more firm grip of where my personality type fits.

I have come to the conclusion that I am currently an ISFP (76 points). So the functions I have (in order from primary to inferior) would be:
Fi (Introverted Feeling) - Probably have been aware of this for some time now, but I want to stay true with both my friends and myself. I feel this in a sense, explains why I like doing certain hobbies repeatedly (like playing the same video games or watching the same show). I admit that I still kind of struggle to convey my thoughts and feelings to them and I don't like having to hide things unless necessary.
Se (Extroverted Sensing) - I've recently made long-term goals for myself, but I prefer to take things a few steps at a time, doing little goals that are realistic/practical that work towards my ultimate goals, so this definitely feels right.
Ni (Introverted Intuition) - Ever since 2020 when my friends started working on their Rayman project, I've started thinking more towards what I can do for myself and how I can better prepare myself for the future, so I agree where this stands in my cognitive functions. I feel like I am good enough to improvise as well when the unexpected happens
Te (Extroverted Thinking) - This makes sense, as I'm bad at making decisions and I'm not very good at organizing myself or the things I have. I'm working towards addressing this weakness though thanks to my therapy and making more schedules for myself.

I've only seen this particular test once in my college life, and now that I've graduated I got curious about what I am.
Hmm.. I seem to be this:
ESFP
Extravert 22%
Sensing 1%
Feeling 44%
Perceiving 38%
I don't know how I feel about this, yet I think it suits me well since I've matured some over the past 7 years since high school.

Well it looks like I really have gone full circle, with the exception I'm now introverted instead of extroverted. Maybe this really is what my personality was all along.

The Jonster wrote: Mon Nov 27, 2023 12:08 am Even though I took the tests multiple times back then, in today's time It's really unclear, and has been for awhile now what kind of personality I am. All I do know for certain is that I am introverted, and perceiving. The other 2 values, I have found are pretty equal in strength that I'm not sure where I stand there and probably need to take several tests multiple times in order to really determine which values I'm more inclined towards. In other words, my personality is I??P.

Steo wrote: Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:54 am Ah right, so yeah your result is most likely IxFP then, due to the fact that Fi is the highest. The results are pretty close though still, and it could have even went towards INFP (Ne is only 2 less than Se). Since you did get ISTP before, it's probably more likely to be ISFP then from this test at least.

When it comes to ruling out the second letter, you've already narrowed it down somewhat by being certain to be a perceiver. It would now depend on whether you're Se or Ne (extraverted sensing or intuition), and a way to think of that would be whether you are a person who would spend more time in your head (brainstorming or maybe thinking about future possibilities etc.), or whether you'd be more into what's happening now at this current time, living in the moment. That would bring you down to either INxP or ISxP, and then the last part would go by whether you're more likely to make decisions due to your own personal values (F) or what seems to be logical to you (T). I'm shortening it down a bit but you could always read over whichever type you end up thinking you are to see if it fits, then check the other one if it sounds wrong etc.

So I guess in the end we were both right about my personality. Turns out, INFP also fits me (70 points), which does include Si. I suppose since we used to talk so much back then I guess you know about me relatively well enough as I do about you.

It's been on my mind ever since it was talked about on Discord years ago and been lingering, so glad to finally have this done and out of the way. Think I'll try an enneagram test one of these days.

The funny thing about this is we both thought we were ISFP at some point lol. There is a possibility of you being INFP actually, I wouldn't rule that out. Myself though I feel like I am most certainly ISFJ. My Si seems to be through the roof and I really am very set on what is tangible. Si is associated with having what is referred to as "a subjective perception on reality", but what this means, is that you literally have an internal database of the world around you. You know where everything is, you know what to expect etc. If anything changes, you will notice, and you will most likely feel uncomfortable with change. This is literally me, that is how I think / function.

For you though, you would be Si tertiary as an INFP, which still means it's going to be noticeable to you if you use it. The functions work in pairs, so you would be Fi and Si together. I feel like this might make sense in a way. Your weakest function then which you would struggle with would be Te. This function is often associated with getting things done even though there's more do it than this. It's basically objective thinking. There is information though as to what it looks like to have a certain function in a certain place, and if it ends up sounding like you, then it's most likely right.

That's good that you narrowed it down, it was the same with me for a long time and I kept going back and forth. My enneagram is 6w5, I wonder if yours will be similar.

A little game I play on Steam (Sky: Children Of The Light) had a personality quiz thing event thing going, and it seems over the last 3 years my personality has shifted!

I went from ENFP to ESFP (What they call "The Performer/The Entertainer". Interesting!

I'd say it's a shift in the right direction at least. And I have changed quite a bit, I can even feel it.

I revisited this again after a few years. I'm starting to think I may be ISTJ. I think I'm more rigid than I realised, and more annoyed about disorder or breaking rules (being a moderator made me realise this part). I always thought I was INTP or possibly ISFJ, but I started to realise I am stubborn or rigid when it comes to doing things a certain way. Not that I want to be, it's just my default way of thinking. Even when someone is suggesting to try do something a different way I'm usually thinking "I told you what way you should do it", or usually "if you do that, X is going to happen", then X happens and they have to do it the way I said in the first place.

I thought I could have been INTP because of looking into things so much, also because of constantly refining things at times instead of moving on, but I think that's only when I'm learning something new and I think it was done "wrong". Of course, whatever type I end up being doesn't matter too much, just kind of interesting to rule it out.

I should try the test again that's on the first page for the fun of it, but sometimes these tests aren't really an accurate representation of which functions one uses, especially the spectrum based ones that just lean left or right (J vs P, F vs T etc.). I mostly rule this out by thinking I have high Si (introverted sensing) and very likely Te (extraverted thinking) given some of the above and being rigid etc.


-- EDIT --

I did get ISTJ on the test, but as mentioned, it's flawed. Even the fact there is only 3% on sensing, and that could completely change the outcome even though that's now how it works. I highly doubt I'd be an INTJ, I clearly have Si over Ni, yet that 3% could have switched the S to an N.
