That's probably due to the internet. Actually, I've tested plenty of times both INFP and ENFP either way. I grew up REALLY shy, but I also learned how to be outgoing as well as I grew older. In a way, it's more of a defense mechanism than anything (considering I just joined this site). I'll usually feel the need to be a little bit more extroverted if I'm uncomfortable (which you've substantiated). If I had posted poetry or something instead, would you have judged differently?

Beyond that, you would probably have to know me to really know what I'm about. My values, the way I think, how I act. I may claim to be a party type, and I can definitely hold up with the best of them, I'm also not out drunk right now, am I? :) I've read up on the ESNP type, and while I do tend to "enjoy" being the center of attention at times (who doesn't like attention?), that's not completely me. I lurked on this website far longer before I decided to actually join and post, not really thinking I'd be attacked on my own personality at that point! I'm not sure why I'm having to defend myself here, but do you do this often?

What exactly made you post what you did about me so quickly, despite whatever you may have seen in my posts? In a way, I could say you are far more extroverted than you claim, considering how vocal you were about me... and so quickly! Does that make sense?

Beyond that, certain restrain for me... would be from me not posting long essays, my own threads, or generally much of anything beyond a few joke posts at this point. Quite honestly, I'm sort of upset that you are singling me out here, not to mention the fact that I joined today. Are you trying to run me off before I even start?

I think you are confusing what an introverted extrovert really is, being an introvert yourself. For me, being an introverted extrovert means that I don't go out very much. I stay home on most weekends, unless I go out with a couple friends and/or a girlfriend I'm with. My friends usually DRAG me out of my house, guilt tripping me if I don't come. That's why I'm not always sure if I'm INFP or ENFP, simply because I'm not so sure I "recharge" being around people. I need both. I can't be around a crowd consistently (the internet doesn't count), but I also can't sit home all the time either, or I'll get depressed. So... needless to say... I think I'm a bit more complicated than you've deducted with that logical brain of yours :)

Either way, nice to meet you.

Don't listen to him. Only you know yourself well enough to type yourself

[OriginalChris]

Very insensitive, but I guess I should expect that from a Myers-Briggs site? I don't know why he attacked me though, especially out of the blue. I post a few times, and he reads up on me, my profile, then claims I don't know who I am! I didn't take the test yesterday!

I should probably seclude myself back into an introvert before the Js start rallying :P

3 posts, which includes your introduction. As well as a very brief look over of your profile.

ENFPs are claimed to be the most 'Introverted Extravert'. Which means there generally is a certain amount of restraint. You'd note that the remainder of ENFPs represent that, you'd need to look no further than this thread's page to see that.

However, the ESFPs are supposedly the most attention-loving Extraverts, hence they've been dubbed the "Performers".

You do not strike me as the person who could be titled as Introverted, even in the slightest notion of the word.

I think, just on my own experiences, that I can clarify a few things for you. This may help you in the future, since even with the Kiersey report or whatever you read, you can't judge ANYONE based on what that says alone. I highly doubt you'll EVER find someone that is strictly limited by what that report says. If it was, we would all be the same people! Are you the same person as every other INTJ? :)

Firstly, any ENFP who claims they don't like attention is lying, plain and simple. They just don't crave it like madmen. Either way, going fishing for compliments is definitely one of our traits, and that's categorized as attention-seeking as well. We like to talk. A lot. We post a lot, we talk a lot, and we will fight you FOREVER if you try to insult one of our values or beliefs.

You can say ENFPs are introverted, but I don't think known ENFPs like OBAMA are worrying about their introverted side when they give speeches about universal healthcare.

I also don't think Will Smith is worrying about his introverted side when he is making movies. I don't think any ENFP writer/teacher/journalist/whatever is worried about their introverted side when they are writing their next masterpiece, let alone teaching a child how to read.

Like I said, I think you don't fully understand what being an introverted extrovert really means. I'm not sure you understand what the concept of being introverted/extroverted, in actuality, really is either.
,
Being introverted doesn't mean just hiding in a corner, away from all people, with a book in your hand and not stepping outside for days.

Being an extrovert doesn't mean you are wildly attention-seeking, go up to ANYONE in the world and speak to them, despite how friendly you are or not.

Watch this. You may be surprised. I can't post LINKS yet, so you'll just have to type in the Ws.

I wish my friends didn't live so far away or worked so much. It's kinda depressing

... that my INTJ and I didn't have such a hard time understanding each other sometimes.

I was a catfish swimmin in the deap blue sea

Do you like fish sticks?

... that my INTJ and I didn't have such a hard time understanding each other sometimes.

You know, good sex really helps relationships with poor communication. I'm not kidding either, that's actually supported by research. So if you're frustrated cause the two of you can't understand each other, just have sex :D

Obviously you're not in a relationship with an INTJ, as i am, and i can tell you, sex doesn't always solve everything :p
