Category: not a typing post

How do you determine type? I know you analyze body and facial movements but is there a particular method that helps you sort out types. I find it so interesting. Thank you.

1. Find people who are basically the stereotype of their type and/or people I know who I’m pretty sure about (these have sometimes been wrong, which I end up fixing in step four).

2. Match other people to these people.

3. Find people who do not match and either wait to find someone who does match or make a tentative jump, based on type dichotomies (e.g. are you most likely to be a P or J?) and going with my gut feeling.

4. Re-evaluate when it becomes clear that a person/persons are not fitting the categories I’ve assigned them to.

5. Repeat 1-4.

“ENFJs, who… don’t do this? At all? And if they did, wouldn’t tell you about it on television because it’s not anyone’s business but theirs!” Hm interesting… bc I knew this person for several years before I found out they were Tolkien obsessed. Is the secrecy thing an NFJ thing or does it apply to SFJ too?

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.

It’s ok – I slipped and did a thing, and now I have a wordpress.

That’s mbti-sorted.home.blog.

It has a functioning search bar!!!  I’ve also enabled anon commenting on posts so you can discuss amongst yourselves.  I would appreciate if all the asks still come in through tumblr, though.  It’s easier to manage if they’re in one place, and I can’t enable anon asks, anyway. 

Unfortunately, I’ve got some issues with tags/categories yet and I’m not too sure how updating or crossposting will go, so it’s already a little out of date.
