'She sounds like a healthy Si-Fe-Ti-Ne who needs an ENTP to make sure she doesn't let herself be taken advantage of:)|||I use music to explore and feel different kinds of moods as they are presented by the artist. Basically, it means ditching whatever mood I have currently and just going for a ride.  So no, I don't...|||1) What do you do? Software engineering.  2) Do you like it? It pays the bills and I enjoy some parts of it.  3) Are you good at it? I am somewhat good at it, yes.  4) Do you see it...|||I don't think immortality is the right course of research and action. Have you considered that mayhaps the limited time we have here on Earth is exactly what makes our lives feel so special and worth...|||Oh yes, it is very useful. This world is run by people and without our Fe we would rub pretty much all the people in a wrong way. And then there would be no room to hide.|||Planescape: Torment all the way. It goes deeep.   I would also like to mention the Mass Effect series and Civilization V with all the expansions.|||Got an ISFJ mom and am the middle child of the three of us. 7 year age difference both ways. Hmm...|||So we as ENTP's are very capable of observing the tangible reality and forming abstractions based on that. And abstractions are just models of reality, not a part of the reality itself. So basically...|||Gah. Which type exactly are we talking about here? The Fi-dom, Ne-POLR ISFP, right?  According to Socionics the ISFJ (Si-dom) is our dual and optimal match, and the ISFP (Fi-dom) our conflictor....|||Well I never had any problems with ISFP's, so I don't really know. But they never laugh at any of my jokes, so I don't bother to give them my attention after I notice that. Luckily, this type is very...|||I've always been good at maths. Never a top student, but always among the top. My achilles heel are small careless mistakes, that always took my grade down a bit from the top one. I also used to have...|||A famous but unsourced Albert Einstein quote says the following about the responsibility You have: The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we...|||Poor guy, you have my compassion. It sounds like smoking and drinking are sucking the life out of you. With them it is very hard to identify the cause and the effect because it is actually a loop of...|||Yes, I am battling with anxiety too. Definately it is one of the most common emotions for an ENTP, and yes, it mostly manifests physically. At this moment it is pretty much a constant state for me,...|||Sorry, but I highly doubt you are an ENTP if you find education boring. Or maybe you just didn't try educating yourself in an area that actually interests you yet.|||Ne - Ideas. Visions of the future. Possibilities. Novelties and enthusiasm. Being an extroverted function, Ne is both directed to the world from you and also absorbed to you from the world. This...|||Here's some ideas on how to raise the ENTP's paycheck: - Use your charm to have good relations with your superiors, paving your way ahead in that way - Pay attention to the people you work with in...|||This is exactly how I see things also. People tend to gravitate towards me and there is no need to do any kind of manipulation. I guess the enthusiasm, positivity and ideas are contagious!|||After giving it more thought (inspired by this thread), I have indeed typed my dad as MBTI INTP (socionics INTj) and my mom as ISFJ (Socionics ISFp) and it all makes perfect sense now. That would...|||Welcome! I am a newbie here as well.  Curiosity indeed is a driving force for me too and I think any Ne-driven person should be able to identify with that. I like to see myself as a pathfinder of...|||I totally understand why the ENTP would score so low in such a chart. The ENTP is one of the types least motivated by money, and that's all the explanation needed. We would pick an interesting job...|||What's there not to enjoy? Enjoying life is all about your own attitude towards it. Take a deep look at your own mind and you will find your answers!|||ENTP has Fe as a tertiary and is hence interested to preserve the group harmony, unless he is a very immature one. Social engineering as I see it means seeking to understand how human relations work...|||I was never addicted to alcohol, but I couldn't stop when I started drinking. Just one drink would be enough to disable my Ti to the extent that I would keep drinking as long as there's a party going...|||I am the same when breaking up relations, but I wouldn't draw the conclusion of being disassociated from emotions. We are just good at letting go, because we don't have the problem of Fi attachment.|||Yes, it does make perfect sense. Being an ENTP you would make decisions primarily using the introverted thinking function (Ti), but the next function in your stack is extroverted feeling (Fe), of...|||I have tried to type my parents for a long time and I just can't seem to reach conclusion. But this is what I've come up with so far:  Dad: Definately an Fe POLR... so that means in MBTI either...|||Among my friends there is one other ENTP. We used to get in many sorts of trouble together as teenagers... mainly due to our wise ass experiments. The biggest problem in our friendship is that we've...|||No, just... no.|||I just found out the amount of ISFp's in my own country is not even nearly as much as in the US (where most online resources are based in). Only 7% among females. Damn!|||One of my friends is an ESTP and the relationship is very problem-free, probably due to the Ti-Ti creative functions. We enjoy some similar things and always do some activity together when we hang...|||Whoops:tongue: Tried to edit the title picture to a question mark now.|||Indeed. Just any dual won't do!|||It's not actually a bad idea... I would figure ISFp one of the most likely types to volunteer to help animals and troubled people. Maybe I will join a shelter for substance abusers, as I am motivated...|||Yes, the socionics ISFp is the ISFJ in MBTI. I have plenty of relationship experience with various types, and although the romances with other types usually started well enough, they always ended up...|||Hello there,  I have gotten quite deep into the Socionics theory and understand that one of my best friends is indeed my dual, an ISFp. The chemistry is just amazing and we have very similar...|||I do have emotions and feelings. Most of the time, especially when alone, I would consider my feeling calm. I love my calm feeling and in some ways I am dependant on it - I find it hard to deal...|||Not accurate for me, as I'm 100% sure to be Fe instead of Fi.  42% ENFP   16% ENTP   13% INTP   12% INFP   6% ENTJ|||I would absolutely love to hear more on this topic, although I'm not qualified to contribute beyond my twenties. It's just that during my twenties so many great things and transformations have...|||I consider myself to be luckier than average these days, but it is just a conscious belief. It didn't come to me by nature. These days, whenever something works as expected or something good happens,...|||Thanks for all the responses. I have to say I don't really even know any heavy Fe-users. I work in a very structured field and am mostly surrounded by various thinking types.  According to the...|||Dearest fellow ENTP's,  I seek some type specific help and knowledge regarding my relationship patterns. I have begun to have a greater understanding on the underlying patterns in my past...|||After carefully thinking about you people's replies here and studying more carefully what the different functions mean, I have arrived into the conclusion that I'm an ENTP indeed. The way ENTP uses...|||Makes sense. By my social circles, I meant my groups of close friends though. I have two, one group from my high school times and another group from university.|||Thank you for the video, very enlightening. Very interesting how she's talking about not wanting to compromise if she really wants to do something - like you are welcome to tag along, but it's my...|||I also have a friend who I perceive to be a very stereotypical ENTP. He is more artistical than me and plays a guitar. I never found the motivation to start playing an instrument myself. He seems to...|||Sometimes at work I am trying to find a solution for a problem for hours. Then finally when I give up enough to ask for advice, I go to the most knowledgeable person about that specific problem. When...|||What you are saying about me having a hard time to seriously consider what the other person is actually saying, sounds very plausible to me. Just today I actually had this almost very same situation...|||Here's a few more details regarding the INTP/ENTP choices: -I work as a software engineer and wouldn't consider any other career choice at this moment. Ever since I started out, I noticed I learned...|||Interesting! What made you rule out INTP, or especially remind you of your ENTP ex?'
