What stereotypes for your type annoy you? (Or other types.)

[CallSignOWL]

that all ISTJs are boring, uptight, traditionalists.

[Kayness]

that we're shallow, superficial and not intelligent (as Ss)...
as for ISFPs, well, honestly not enough is even said about ISFPs in the first place.

[Hosker]

Stereotypes don't really annoy me as I know that they are just stereotypes and not a lot more, and I think most others do as well.

[AintGotNoExpressions]

The stereotypes that apply to me piss me off (oblivious,weird), with the stereotypes that don't(nerd, lazy); haters gonna hate.

ESFJs are usually seen as shallow, more stuck in their ways, obsessive controlling, guilt manipulative mother types. O_o They go with the masses, are conformist, etc. I've seen them portrayed as selfish and backstabbing as well. Many people complain about them due to Fe, but then why not complain about other Fe-types? There's serious issues with this stereotype. Those bad qualities don't just belong to an ESFJ -- unhealthy or not.

ISTJs are all tradition and perfectionist.

ENFPs are bubbly, enthusiastic, and high strung. Y'know, take a really extroverted type Seven and there's your ENFP. Intelligent, perhaps, but always for new experiences and smiley, etc. But they have awesome insights and brilliant ideas. They should all go marry INTJs (lol jk).

^ While this may be the case for some ENFPs and it's not "bad", really, as stereotypes go... I simply do not relate. We're not all bubbly and enthusiastic and high strung. Especially not all the time -- there are times when somebody would describe me as enthusiastic. Some people talk about ENFPs "tiring them out" because we're all so talkative and full of energy. I talk and listen equally. I am full of energy quite a bit, but I am pretty dang reserved in how I show it.

ESFPs are ENFPs without the depth. Ditsy and high school girl-ish. Or action-y guyish. No room for interest in psychology there.

The list goes on...

[Finagle]

I have no problems with stereotypes themselves, if they don't apply to me, they don't, that's it, but I have a problem with people that are blinded by stereotypes.

[Angelic Gardevoir]

INFJs are psychic. No...just no. If that were the case, a disproportionate number of INFJs would constitute lottery winners.

[Gnothi Seauton]

INFJs are psychic. No...just no.

I was going to say this, actually. But I realized that being called a psychic amuses me a lot more than it actually annoys me.

David Keirsey* needs a good slap in my opinion...not that im advocating violence being as how im probably a feeler type and yknow....we dont do violence or conflict.

*Actually I used to just not like his theory, but after seeing his money grabbing website im a little indignant.
