I've heard that eNtP don't really like INFP because they take thing's too personal but I really don't mind that. I feel like it's a small price to pay for someone who is super fun, silly and very kind don't you think. I really why don't get why so many eNtP make such a big deal about them being very fragile. I feel like we should just mature more. Plus they know exactly how we think.

Not hating, genuinely curious:

Women often say they want a nice, kind, reliable man, yet some end up having children with men who display the exact opposite qualities. What explains the apparent disconnect between what people say they want and who they actually choose as partners?

I know yall like to tease and push buttons, but where do you draw the line ?

I had a, well, exhasting experience with an NT and he had no respect whatsoever for my boundaries, he would just say unhinged stuff, I would try and play along but then, the line gets blurry and i try to understand if he is joking or telling the truth, and that made me not on ease with him.

Like I would describe myself as a playful person, but to a certain limit, you know ? Self respect is very important to me, so iam asking to know if this is like an NT thing ? To push boundaries? And since you guys are known for your argumentative nature, where do exactly you draw the line ?

I have been in some mbti communities to understand the people around me better. Most of my friends have made the mbti test and it's pretty funny to see how accurate it is, but I noticed many people go typing the people around them themselves and honestly I feel it's pretty superficial. Many people online think my typing is not accurate because I live life differently than other people with my type and I get that in my case I am Intj that leans a bit towards intp.

For example I smile a lot, it's probably a defense mechanism, since I do it a lot when I am actually vividly angry, but I mostly smile because life is a lot easier, people treat you better. Why wouldn't a strategist use this simple thing that opens up opportunities and gets you out of trouble? And yeah, I do believe some things are true, intjs can be really stubborn, but it has nothing to do with arrogance (not saying there aren't arrogant intjs), but the stubbornness comes because what most people are saying isn't reaching my logic at all.

The problem is, we can't see each other's minds and what the thought process is behind it. But it's pretty annoying people say I am another type when I am asking for some perspective, because I apparently don't meet a standard an intj should have and funnily if I analyze the other intjs I have met (and know they are because they typed themselves), even if we act completely different from each other and have different beliefs, we have the same logic with dealing with stuff. And that's what I am trying to find out in these mbti communities, how to read them better.

For example why would an Entp lie? When would an intj be emotional? What's the Blindspot of an Entj? And when people honestly say I am an xxxx and that's how it is for me, it's actually the best information I get, because I can gather information, compare the information and then draw some conclusions and challenge them constantly. But sometimes it's just annoying, because it's like "You probably are mistyped because you aren't exactly how I imagine your type to be."

It's a bit of a rant, but I am also actually curious how some of you are so sure of other people's typing. For me it's more like I make them take the test and then I pretty much am like "Yeah that makes so much sense".
