E-Most children are very social and outgoing

N- Lots of children are unrealistic very not caring about small things

T- They say what appears to them is true(the mean type of honesty)

P- Lots of children very unserious unschelduled and relaxed. Also very messy

I wasn't. I was an N and a P, but certainly not an E or a T.

[Nearsification]

Well truley this is before you devolep an actually distinct personailty. How far are you going back?

[snail]

I was an INFP as far back as I can remember, and further back, according to the things my parents tell me. I'm sure a lot of people do change, though. My brother seemed more S and J when he was little, but gradually developed his N and his P preferences around the tenth grade. Until then, I would have sworn he was an ESFJ instead of an ENFP. He was always an E and an F. If I was ever an E, it was impossible to tell because of my shyness, and I can't remember ever being a T. In fact, I was pretty much against T qualities when I was young, and had a very strong bias. I thought of things in terms of good and evil, and considered T qualities evil. That was before I had ever heard of the MBTI, which forced me to reconsider and be more tolerant.

We're talking the classic archetypal children, yeah? Because nowadays, most American children are very different.

E-Most children are very social and outgoing

Most people in general, whether child or adult, are extroverts. But I would say there's an equal distribution of intro and extroversion among both ages since the preference is inborn. Equal to the ratio of introverts to extroverts in adults, I mean. I know that extroverts are the majority.

N- Lots of children are unrealistic very not caring about small things

I would say the high activity and focus on immediate gratification of most children would give them a general preference for Se. In the classic sense, children are grounded in the present, respond better to straightforward communication, and most children aren't thinking about what they're going to be doing when they're 20 as much as what they're going to be doing on the weekend. Those are all examples of Se. I do agree that Ne is more widely accepted among children, though, so one point for ENTP. Kids come up with the craziest ideas.

T- They say what appears to them is true(the mean type of honesty)

I'd say ignorance rather than preference. For instance, would a feeling child who actually knows that something will hurt someone be as unhesitating to say it?

P- Lots of children very unserious unschelduled and relaxed. Also very messy

I would generally agree that most children seem to have a preference for extroverted perceiving (hence my view on Se above).

I've seen it said, that the vast majority of children meet the DSM diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder, and people call us sociopaths, a lot, so the Ne in me can see what you're getting at. lol I was probably always an ENTP. I was a mean, ornery, little shit, and constantly in trouble, and when I would get caught and punished, the only lesson I ever learned was how to get better at not getting caught and how to get better at putting the "fear of god" into those who would tell on me. I was only that way, outside of school, though. I was very introverted at school, and very polite and obedient.

[Liminality]

I was more on the feeler side of things, but for a while, I was a tad.

But other kids I knew were a veriety of types.

There are a couple of kids I've know I've known have had strong Ni, both NFJs, even with my poor people reading skills.

I always end up debating with you...

E-I would say most children are extraverts because they have no

N- I guess i could agree. Although plenty of childrens want to be astronauts and whatnot.

T- Most people consider Ts to be ignorant. And yes to your qeustions

I'm not trying to debate you. I'm just trying to join the discussion.

Eh, I forgot about that whole "I wanna be ____ when I grow up!" period.

It's taken me a while to work out my son, but having done so, it seems to me his F has been pretty obvious since he was a baby. I know a few introverted kids, and kids who really need order in their lives, get stressed in the presence of chaos or lack of planning, so no, I reckon I have met plenty kids who are not ENTP. My daiughter is, and she is not typical of most children, that's for sure.
