ENJs 2. ESJs 3. ENPs/INJs 4. ISJs/ESPs 5. INPs 6. ISPs  Really, Js tend to be more talkative than Ps. The reason for this I think, is due to the fact that Js are naturally more abstract...|||1.

ALthough they may appear cynical, their Ni makes the INTJ have a rather easy going, unserious, almost fun loving approach to life (although they don't outwardly appear this way),...|||- I tend to overanalyze much which sometimes leads to unnecesary guilt. - I can withhold my Ti judgments (to the outer world) simply because my Fe fears they might hurt someone. - I irrationally...|||Another interesting thing, which many people aren't aware of, is that IPs are actually more judging than IJs. IJs have an introverted perception function as their dom. funtion, whereas IPs have a...|||ISFPs; because they are often very politcally correct (without even realising it, which I find especially annoying) - which in my opinion is synonymous to a lack of independent thinking.|||An S says you're too by the book (perhaps this would be an appropriate moment to use the phrase LOL, but I try to avoid going mainstream, so I'll say it's funny). But maybe situations where he...|||What I concluded in my reasoning is that types which share only the last letter (The extraverted judging preference or the extraverted perceiving one), while the other three letters/preferences are...|||But the differences between INTJs and ESFPs are perhaps greater, compared with the average relationship.|||Eventually the INTPs' TiNe style of talking//acting becomes too non conventinal, abrupt and unpredictable for the ISFJ to identify themselves with their INTP partner, or even enjoy their company. On...|||Perhaps the relationship will function somewhat well in the beginning, because of INTJs admiring their partner's Se Grace, Beauty etc., and ESFP's admiring their partner's Ni determination, ambition...|||I'm an INTP myself, but funny enough other INTPs can bore the hell out of me. Why? Because as Ti dominants we often struggle to orally express our thoughts, or at least it might take some time...|||INTP´s don't have Fi.|||I'll make an orderly list of which type I, as a male INTP, would rather have a relationship (not in the broader term) with:  1.

War tends to get way to physical, in the moment and impressionistic for an INTP to derive much pleasure from the actual experience. Btw, this is only me speculating.|||If you're an ENTP, then please change your profile info accordingly. It really bugs me when people belong to a different type than wht is shown in their profile. So, please:)|||But the fact that the intp's two upper functions are the same, but reversed in the entp's, IS NOT a unique case for the ntp's.

I hope this observation isn't rooted on some far fetched narcissism from my part.|||I don't think this is true.

One ought to be very carefull when labelling any type with one certain description (in this case that INFJs are more altruistiv...|||Are you refering to me? Either way, I agree with you. It might be kind of naive for the INTPs to carry on debating, even if the INTP should know from past experiences that it's a lost cause. I guess...|||I think we are clear.
