Rational Girl Problems

IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, LIE TO THEM! I know what you’re thinking, oh, a little white lie never hurt anyone (lookin’ at you, ESTJ). WRONG.

If ENTPs smell something fishy about your story, and trust me, they will, they will call you out. Maybe not at first. You may think that you got away with it. Wrong again. They might subtly kill you with it, or they might just slap you in the face with it. They will find out, trust that.

ENTPs hate being lied to. Even if you think that you’re protecting them, you’re only making things harder on yourself. ENTPs value honesty. We are in the pursuit of knowledge, and lying can sometimes block that pursuit.

abigaelelizabeth rationalgirlproblems Patience sucks… take it from this INFJ gal after an INTP guy. I’ve got to not only be patient with him, but also patient with my own damn self. Sigh. 🙃

scintillatingsucculentsorceress I'm an INFJ.....and for me it takes knowing someone is gonna accept all facets of who I am.....there are some I am much more hesitant to show than others. Because it would hurt too much to see that part of me crushed or rejected again. But that's just me.

SUBMITTED by intj-the-cynical-idealist

I’ve typed quite a few characters and over time I’ve developed certain “tells” for the different types. In this post I’ll try to summarize how I look for each type’s functions in a character. Hopefully this will turn out to be a comprehensive system (unrealistic INTJ goals) but I don’t plan on doing it alone. If you see something you disagree with, or something to add, speak up. I’m confident in my understanding of some types and functions, but others are a bit harder for me to understand.

INTJ

Introverted Intuitive Dominant

Comprehension and pursuit of abstract concepts and ideals. A focused and future oriented vision. Is most comfortable when they can see several steps ahead of everyone else and usually they can.     

Extroverted thinking Auxiliary 

Practically pursues ideals and future visions set forth by Dom Ni. Focuses on functionality and efficiency generally, but more noticeably in its pursuit of Ni ideals.

Introverted Feeling Tertiary

Strongly held convictions, often based on abstract Ni foundation. Emotionally subtle and private but fiercely loyal to people and causes they cares about.

Extroverted Sensing Inferior

Prefers to work behind the scenes to achieve their Ni goals. Often uncomfortable with physicality and “getting their hands dirty.” Typically has a taste for the finer things in life.

INTP

Introverted Thinking Dominant

Seeks logical consistency and depth. Enjoys systems of logical framework, building their own and appreciating those that others build. Develops and studies complex systems pertaining to their varied and abstract Ne interests. Slow to form definite judgement. Prefers to take the time to make sure that a conclusion is consistent.

Extroverted Intuitive Auxiliary

Openness to alternate possibilities and a thirst for variety. Often Innovative and inventive. Typically curious and creative, specifically when it comes their logical Ti systems.

ENTJ

Introverted Intuitive Auxiliary
