I do pretty frequently really. I’ve considered that I could potentially be an ENTP, but I think that it might be because I’m very severely mentally ill and tend to act more stereotypically ENTP when I’m dipping into mania. But, realistically, I know the functions very, very well, and I know that I’m an INTJ.

I do it all the time. Simon can testify how most my breakdowns, if not all, end up in me wondering my deep sense of personhood and getting all “i’m not good enough to be an ENTJ”. Specially because I compare myself in terms of my own ambitious plan, and in terms of other ENTJs notable success.

Self confidence is a life time road to travel, in my opinion. And seriously, the worst you can do in compare yourself to the stereotype of your own type. Functions are like ice buckets, sometimes they’re rectangular, sometimes they come in shapes, but they all make ice. You do you. (Easier said than done, but I’m someone who’s learning after a lifetime of abuse and confidence/self appreciation issues, and believe me, its possible).

i actually typed comfortably as ENFP for a long time, even as i understood the difference between functions. executive dysfunction is my middle name and i am a characteristically disorganized and lazy person, so i thought that was just tert Te and i mistook my Fe for Fi because a lot of the way i handle my Fe is from adapting morals from people, i suppose.

Probably think she's already won. But she underestimates me...just as she always did. This is just starting, Lotus. I'll bring you to justice -- if I have to follow you to the ends of the earth.That’s a heavy call. I think mine would have to be Steve Rogers? But I also really, really like Helen Magnus and Kate Freelander from Sanctuary.

Steve Rogers (ISFJ) - “This isn’t freedom. This is fear.”Helen Magnus (ESFJ) - “Do you remember when you were small? You used to come into my room in the middle of the night. You’d crawl into my arms and you’d say, “Mummy, I’m afraid.” Ashley, I’m afraid.“Kate Freelander (ISFP) - "It’s funny. I always wondered what I would do if I ever figured out who killed my father. Turns out it’s not as black and white as I thought.”

hoooough. that’s a tough question to answer. it’s hard for me to answer who my ‘favorites’ are for different reasons because i’ll tend to cycle through favorite narratives rather than singular characters, if that makes sense, but i’ll give it a try.Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks)- INFJRyouta Kawara (Hatoful Boyfriend) - ISFJDana Scully (The X-Files) - ISTJ

those are the ones that seem most… profound to me! i cycle through a lot of media and always find favorite characters here and there for each of them, but those are the ones that i’ve had a lasting fondness for. i don’t have quotes on hand because i haven’t went through any of those narratives in a while!

- claire

i’m going to take the liberty of not choosing favourite characters of all time, but characters who were some kind of... formative experience for me.

Steve Rogers (ISFJ) - “The price of freedom is high, it always has been, but its a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one so be it, but I’m willing to bet I’m not”

James Moriarty (ENTJ) - “In a world of locked rooms the man with the key is king, and honey you should see me in a crown.”

Enjolras, Les Miserables (ENTJ), and Mr. Fox (also ENTJ), from Fantastic Mr. Fox, both book and Wes Anderson film apply, but specially the latter.

Mr. Fox - “Because I’m a wild animal” // “I understand what you're saying, and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna ignore your advice.” // “I don't know, but I have a possible theory. I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I'm the greatest, and if they aren't completely knocked-out, dazzled, and kind of intimidated by me, then I don't feel good about myself.”

Alright, so it’s the inferior function, so even though this is going to be a developed and healthy function, it’s still not going to be strong.

I love math... I'm going to do functions, though. I don't know enough different names of groups or where the lines are drawn.

Yep

I'm not going to explain the entire stack (As in, why the dominant/auxiliary can't both be introverted, or both be judging, or whatever, or why you can't have two thinking functions in a stack), because I'm assuming you know since you asked something specific, but feel free to correct that if it's wrong.

So, the judging functions (Te, Ti, Fe, Fi, or the thinking/feeling functions) create your ability to understand input, and often to create goals.

The perceiving functions (Se, Si, Ne, Ni, or the sensing/intuition functions) create your ability to take in the input to be analyzed, and will generally predict the angle that comes in on (which is why people tend to say Se is present oriented, Si is past oriented, and Ne and Ni are future oriented -- The perceiving functions put a slant on how data is perceived).

That's a difficult one, tbh.

For the emotional highs/lows, you'd probably be able to work around that, since having depression might involve itself in creating higher peaks and lower troughs. You'd probably just have to say "I'm not a dominant or auxiliary Fi user," and if someday you change medication, or get off the medication, and your thinking style changes, you may go back and look at it again.

The way I see it is that the only things that would really change is the intensity of functions. The general pattern of how you think would still be the same, so I don't know that it would impact Myers-Briggs too much.
