Um… I think that every type has different things they consider “not for public consumption.” Usually it’s got to do with your dominant introverted function.
In the case of ENFJs, I would say that their
secrets are less about keeping things secret and more having a very
firm sense of boundaries and of who needs to know what. People who you
work with don’t need to know about your nerd life. I think that if you
are a person who is constantly synthesizing potentially invasive
information about other people (NFJs in particular), you learn to keep
your mouth shut to avoid causing upset and you might also learn not to
put a lot of yourself into the open so that you are not stepping on
anyone else’s boundaries either.
I don’t know about the ESFJs, but I’ve seen a couple of ISFJ boys who were slightly embarrassed to admit to collecting baseball cards which seems maybe a little old-fashioned, but… not that weird? I think ISFJs, in general, like collecting information, and greatly dislike that you have theirs unless they specifically share it under the understanding that you will not share it with anyone else.
