Help a brother out,would ya?

INFP & ENFP are two of the 16 personality types. INFPs are Introverted-Intuitives-Feelers-Perceivers. ENFPs are the same, except that they are extroverted (E). But that doesn't mean this's the only difference between them. They both have different cognitive functions: (INFP = Fi-Ne-Si-Te), (ENFP= Ne-Fi-Te-Si). Introverted feeling (Fi), Extroverted Intuition(Ne), Introverted Sensing(Si), Extroverted Thinking(Te) and receive energy differently. ENFPS are more outgoing and lively, INFPS are reserved. Both are spontaneous, do not like strict plans, and are open to new experiences, with ENFPs being a little bit more open.

"J" means judging. Don't get it confused with being judgmental, that's not what it means. Judgers, in the MBTI, are the opposites of Ps/Perceivers, like INFPs and ENFPs, INTP, ISFP. They like closure, they make plans/make to-do lists, like being on time/hate being late for things like appointments/outings, they're organized, great at completing tasks -because they do not like leaving things undone, they're very decisive. Ps are the total opposites. There's a lot I could say, hmm. You can take a test Flytefalls posted on her thread here: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

If you want to do other ones to make sure you get the same result, I can send them to you... just let me know. They're a bit more detailed. Make sure you answer the questions as you are, not as you want to be. Or if you want to find out your enneagram, let me know too. They go hand-in-hand with MBTIs, but they explain your inner motivations and behavioral pattern a lot more. You can start with finding out your MBTI first, if you're interested. Hope that helps.

Hey, how true is this personality test?

I took the test time ago on another website, and I was ISFP. Tried it again tonight on the link you posted and it says, "INTJ." And I kept it 100% real, based on what I know about my personality, while answering the questions. To be honest, I don't think a person can judge his or her personality. I also doubt everyday people can also be a good judge of personality trait, since most people see what they want to see. So the whole thing is complex.

What do you think?

I don't trust every online test because some aren't written very well. The first test I ever took was given by my high school and I was also later told I fit the description. There were two people in my class with my type. We had to get up in front of the class because the Psychologist wanted to explain our type to the class and apparently the way we were standing gave us away. People with my type don't like attention or being in the spotlight, so it was obvious to her that we were uncomfortable up there, and wanted to get away. Everyone had to get up though, so it wasn't just us. I guess I had a "reliable" test to fall back on. The description also fit me perfectly, kind gave me that "ah ah" moment, as in "so this is why I've always been like this" moment, lol. I've taken a number of tests since then, sometimes for fun though and always get the same thing. The last I took was again at school, at an MBTI workshop, lol. Many companies also use the MBTI. More than half of the fortune 500 companies use it. It's also used it the military and by many organizations, so the MBTI is extremely beneficial. I'll write a lil' bit I know about INTJs & ISFPs.

Does this sound like you?: INTJs
Very difficult to persuade. If they have an opinion about something, best believe they will stick to it because they think their stance is the correct one. In fact, in arguments/discussions they think they're always right, as in with 110% certainty!, lol. They do not show emotions very easily and hardly express them. It's not because they do not want to, they're just not good at it. Their emotions and values are also internalized. They appear very cold to people. At the same time, they're very confident people. They know what they want, are very straight-forward in their behaviour. With an INTJ, it's either this or that and no inbetweens; this can be a good thing in terms of them being very determined but can end up being a bad thing because they're very inflexible and adamant in their beliefs, often unable to see things from someone else's perspective. Although they're independent and like doing their own thing, when a situation calls for a leader they'll be the first to stand up. They're very logical.

Does this sound like you?: ISFPs:
Like INTJs, ISFPs are introverts. They're very private. They're action-oriented (like getting things done) and are very practical. INTJs also have these two characteristics, but ISFPs are actually much more action-oriented than INTJs. INTJs are practical in terms that they're future-oriented; are aware of future possibilities and can act to make any necessary changes before something happens. ISFPs are present-focused, are always aware of what's going on around them/their surroundings, are very realistic so they will act right now based on what's happening right now. They like facts, whereas INTJs are much more theory-based. Unlike INTJs who are often serious/don't play around, ISFPs are much more easy-going and playful, carefree and spontaneous. Because ISFPs like living in the moment, they don't like making long-term plans. Due to this, they can miss future possibilities of their decisions & actions (unlike INTJs who like to think & plan ahead). ISFPs are very sensitive and people-focused. They're very observant, great at picking up small details, have strong values and do not force them on others. They love harmony, are excellent listeners and very loyal to those close to them. Unlike the INTJ, an ISFP likely dates around a lot more.


Some online tests are good, some not so much. It all depends on which you take. That site is okay. It worked for me. Then again, I'm already sure of my type and wasn't taking it to find out for the first time. I still took it seriously and answered the questions honestly, and got the same thing I've gotten before. I can understand someone taking it for the first/second time and being skeptical, more so if they got one result before and are now getting another this time. I always think it's best for people to take a few tests anyway, especially if they're new to taking the MBTI. I'll send you the link to the test I took at sch two years ago. I've to get the log-in info, will get them by Friday and mail you. It's much more in-depth and has different sections and it's one of the best I've taken. I think that'll help answer your question better - in terms of which you are. There're two other good sites I know of and will include them too.

It's not really about judging what type you are. If you take a good test and the description resonates with you, then that's most likely you. If you take another test and get the same result, then it's definitely you. If you keep getting the same result and know you're answering the questions as 'honestly' as possible, then it's definitely you. I say that because there're people who do not like their result for one reason or another and want to be a different type. This's just a tool to help people find out more about themselves. At the end of day, nothing is gained by skewing the results. No type is better than the other. They all have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. I think you're a very honest person, so that doesn't apply to you. I'm just explain why people somethings get different results. If you take several tests and are getting totally different results, it may be the questions aren't be answered as you are , unintentionally :], or the online tests taken aren't good. That said, It's highly unlikely for someone to take several tests and get totally different results each time. Usually, there'll be one that keeps rearing its head, kinda like the mode. This's the one you most likely are. Once you know which you are, it also does not change. The type you really are, your core self, does not change. One can't be an ISTP one day and an INFP another day. If someone's an ISTP, they'll always be an ISTP. You're always one specific type and not another. Some people can be borderline - in terms of having two two types fitting them well, but there'll be one which overrides the other. Again, if you get different results, it's often due to the tests themselves or the way they questions are answered. If someone's still skeptical about which they are, even after taking several tests, then now it's up to them to decide which fits them the best. I know some people are skeptics and still doubt, regardless of whether they get the same result or not. Reading the descriptions of each, seeing which describes how they behave, which answers any of the questions they have/clears up any confusion - should suffice. If they still aren't sure or don't want to believe one describes them best, then that's okay, no biggie.

Sometimes it's very hard to figure out someone else's type. The best way to know is to interact with them (on more than one occasion) and watch how they work and how they interact with other people. Another way to tell is by observing their weaknesses. If you're aware of those, you can easily pinpoint who's who. That said, some actually make their weaknesses work to their advantage, making it very difficult for others to know at times. At the same time, they'll give themselves away here and there. I'm usually very good at figuring out people's types after interacting with them. Online, it's a bit harder to tell. I do have my reservations about which type I think you are, although my guess is limited, as it's only based on my online impressions of you.

Anyway you are demonstrating the possibilities of dating a nairalander

@Yield

You're a star!! I didn't quote your post because I don't want to muffle everything up. However, I'll take advantage of this opportunity. I know I might never get anything close to this again. It's just funny how the weirdest places provide the best platforms for proper education. I absolutely love this.

Thanks for the analysis, hun. I definitely need to pay you for this!!

I'd say everything you posted is very interesting. I think situation and experience do change people/personality overtime. Perhaps, that's why I'm caught in-between the two personalities.

However, from your analysis, I'd say I'm I think I'm more of an INTJ, with bits of ISFP. Let me break it down and I hope you would be able to find the right personality for me.

INTJ in me
- I rarely show emotions (not cold-hearted but I believe showing emotions make people look weak). I keep my emotions internalised and ponder over everything in solitude.
- Very confident.
- Future oriented. I don't really care about what's happening around me when it comes to achieving personal goals in life. I just focus on myself and run my own race. Not caught up in the matrix of the contemporary and the moment
- I know what I want - and I'm straight-forward and real in my approach. I keep it 110% real all the time.
- I'm difficult to persuade because I'm passionate about my opinions. I've got strong views and I put passion into everything that I do.
- I'm not a good listener (but I've improved in the last 12 months).
- I'm definitely not a leader. I can never be a leader. I prefer pulling the strings from behind the scene. I absolutely hate the spotlight.

ISFP in me
- I'm a very private guy and I like my own space.
- I'm easy-going. I just mind my business and don't get involved with other people. You have to strike first for me to pay you any mind.
- For being playful, carefree and spontaneous - this depends on my mood and who I'm around. When I'm around friends and family - I take those qualities to the extreme. However, I get back into my shell, around normal people.
- I'm also sensitive, very observant, pick up small details easily, love harmony, and loyal to fault. Once you get my loyalty, it's death before dishonour with me.
- I'm people-focused(oriented). I guess that's why I lean towards the ideology of Karl Marx. You know negritude /(Pan)Africanism is more or less African/black socialism. And the values are about equality, accountability and being your brother's keeper. I believe my happiness or should I say joy/fulfilment is aligned with how people around me around are.
- As for ladies and dating: I don't know but I think I'm in-between. I've only been in two and half relationships. However, when I've been in loads of flings when I was younger, with all type of physical contacts (if you get the drift lol). It wasn't like I enjoyed most of it, it was just more of peer pressure, the environment and trying to out-compete others. And I think a lot of beautiful girls are attracted to me for reasons I still can't demystify, since attraction is about more than just looks. I did take advantage of that back then. However, in the last two years - it has been more about harmless flirting with me and nothing else. All in all, I'll say I can chat up any kind of girl and develop instant rapport. But I do get bored of girls easily.

Err...perhaps, I was an ISFP when I was younger, or naturally an ISFP. However, because people and personality do change, with experience, environment and other external factors. See: http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/03/07/personalities-can-indeed-change-over-time/35663.html I believe the changes started around 2006-2007. It was a subconscious thing but a few people tell me about the changes. I guess that's why I still have some of the old personality traits in me.

Finally, I shouldn't be putting all these out here on a public forum. However, the anonymity is a good shield for that. Honestly, I have been trying to understand my growth and who I'm right now, for a while now. Tried a few counsellors and the solutions they proffered more or less complicated things than help. It's just good to understand who you're, so as to know how to relate to people and also plan your life according to your strengths and weaknesses.

PS: from our conversations, what do you think I'm? I know most of my posts on here aren't really a reflection of me because more time, everything I do on here is more of a mood thing - and this platform is more or less a therapy for me. Add being on the defensive all the time, due to attacks and my volume of posts to the equation. And you wont really get a clear picture. However, I know you're very intelligent and observant - and you should be able sieve though all that. I await your reply in trying to solve this puzzle!
