What´s the most NAIVE of all types? and the WISEST? Easiest types to manipulate?

is the ISFP in general quite naive, perhaps the most naive of all types?
are INTJ the opposite? the best prepared to neutralize an attempt of being manipulated, tricked?
Which type are the easiest to manipulate, to trick?

INFJ for wisest type. They're the only type that I've seen who remained wise no matter how many I've met. I've met some really naive INTJs. If it were an NT for wisdom it would probably be the INTP.

Naive? Any type can be Naive but I say the most Naive is probably the ESFP.

I don't think it has to do much with type, but with balance and maturity. Imho, being wise is the result of having gathered a lot of reference material from the world around oneself, and having learned how to apply it to real life, or perhaps having seen how real life fits together around this reference material.
Naivity, on the other hand, is simply the result of a lack of reference material, cluelessness when it comes to how it applies to the world, or both.
The same goes for people who are easy or hard to manipulate. If you are conciously aware of the fact that some people will try to manipulate you, you can avoid these situations and still be a trusting person.

You've read my mind.

Well as Sensors are meant to be in tune with what is around them, I don't see them as naive. Or I could be wrong. *shrugs*

Actually, all the SPs I know are far from naive. The NF I know is incredibly naive though. And as far as being manipulated... I think a lot of it would depend on the manipulator. I'm pretty hard to manipulate, but there is a couple of people out there that have done it, and I won't even catch it until after it's happened....

IMO, any T and N type are wiser. Wise men aren't emotional wrecks that judge people, they think. simply said~

I've seen "naive" and words like "childlike enthusiasm" in a lot of INTP descriptions (especially when it comes to affection).

**Stephalump** · 01-05-2010 11:49 AM

Naïve? I would say SPs first, and SJs second. Being naïve is basically not being able to see through the obvious to underlying motives and/or properly considering all possible outcomes, right? So, definitely Ss. As far as the hardest to manipulate, I'll go with NTs. Wisest? NFs.

The Naive T expects everyone to be honest, expects people to say what they mean.

The Naive F expects people to be nice or good, expects everyone to respect everyone's feelings and try to get along.

(Maybe the above is only for Intuitives. I'm not sure)

People are Naive in different ways, but wisdom is, as already stated, not merely the accumulation of information, but of relevant information and more importantly knowing what situation to apply which information in.
