#I could mbti shitpost or something

[mbti-ramblings-and-whatnot]

You know you’re having a good time when you (INFP) and your cousin (ISFP) both take a 100 question mbti test and are both told you’re INTJs (my results below, hers were similar)

[noroi1000]

hi! i come here with a request for a romantic male matchup please.

female she/her. i’m a 19 year old, bisexual chilean disaster. my mbti is infj. i’m an intersec feminist, so normally things like misogyny, homophobia and racism annoy me. also, the most important of it all, i’m an enthusiastic shitpost enjoyer like “yo who the fuck is mary and why she poppin”.

i’m 5’4, i have almost a hourglass figure(?? i have hazel eyes and light brown hair or a very dark blonde i’d say? idk. it’s also short and fluffy. my love language i would say is words of affirmation and physical touch like hand holding and cuddling i like, but straddling someone’s lap or making out makes me uncomfortable tbh (not too sure, my ex cheated on me and now almost everything romantic makes me uncomfortable 💀).

i can come off as mean sometimes, and i’m very headstrong too. i say things the way i see them but i also cry whenever i get yelled at so ye, i’m just very emotional. my group say i’m really funny, that i’m loving and they appreciate i don’t hide my opinions.

i love my family and my friends. i have that type of love you can’t express with words y’know? like my parents, mis primas, mis awelos, my friends have made me the woman i am today, which i’m proud of for the most part. also i adore all types of animals and i’m currently studying along that field. i worry a lot about the people around me even if they are not that close to me, and i’m also the type of person that gets sad when i see other people sad lmaoo.

i am very dedicated to my studies and the grades i get. i can be extremely organized and i don’t give up on a subject until understand it. i just like feeling smart honestly, though i wouldn’t call myself a genius. just smart.

in large environments i get pretty nervous and that comes out with me being extremely serious and awkward. when i’m with my friends tho i can’t stop laughing, jumping around and overall just being extroverted. but i don’t hang out too much. i mostly spend my time listening to music (declan mckenna, princess nokia, baby tate, half•alive), playing minecraft or cs:go, dancing, drawing and sleeping. i also watch a lot of internet and biology documentaries. if i’m not doing that, then i’m playing volleyball which i also just fucking adore since 5th grade.

i’m interested in someone that doesn’t call me weird, that stays by my side and understands me when i get hit with depressive episodes and most important of all: they need to love humor (chilean shitpost mostly, trixie mattel/katya type shit). laughing is my coping mechanism.

and i’d say that’s about it. idk. i probably missed something 😭

I think your Jujutsu kaisen matchup is

Yuji Itadori

He is a very enthusiastic person who enjoys contacts with other people very much.

He tries his best for family and friends. He loves everyone and he certainly wants to protect them. Since someone close to him has remained, he can worry about them. He would not like to lose any more. Is it under normal circumstances or because of his own stupidity.

He would never want anyone to be sad because of him. And especially he suffered. He couldn't voluntarily hurt anyone.

He pays no attention to anything but character. He couldn't discriminate against someone. Generally, he himself will defend people who are hurt by someone else.

He's really nice. No matter who he talks to. (It is important that this person is not brutal and does not abuse others.) He tries to make people in his surroundings happy, feeling the same emotions as they do. He couldn't smile and be happy when someone cries in the corner. First, he would like to make that person smile.

Being stubborn in certain situations is good, you know? He will never give up when what he does is good for him and for the rest. Just as he doesn't like others telling him that he is doing anything wrong, even though he knows he meant well.

He is devoted to friends and family. He makes their moments nice and happy. He could do anything for them.

Every learning and training he does is such that he won't understand half of what he has to learn. He just can't learn it. However, if he knows he must do this, he will try to whatever he can. Among strangers, without his friends, and in the environment of people who are not welcome in his life for what they do mean, he can be serious and calm. He will not always smile and have fun. When he is alone, he may not even laugh. Likewise, he feels awkward when he's with someone he even accidentally pissed off. He knows his friends won't kill him for anything. But he's awkward when he wants to start talking. The same when he makes a mistake.

He may need sedatives when going out with everyone. He is unable to resist vigorous behavior.

Headcanon:

• He will not call you weird because he will say that he is weird. He just says he's weird and stupid. Some may think it's true, but he's a smart boy. It has its deviations, but it cannot be said that it does not have a brain.

• He would love to be with someone who laughs at what he does and fails to pretend.

• He could cry if you were the one who yelled at him.

He would never want to raise his voice to you in a wrong way. He wouldn't want to yell at you. He just wouldn't want you to be sad because of him.

But he never told you you couldn't yell at him. Do what you want. Yell at him, hit him. Hit pp on the face, on the head. Make him hate himself. To make him cry. But no one will ever make him do the same to you.

• He respects you very much. He respect everyone's opinion, but yours is different. When you say something, he wants to listen to you. Even if there are doubts as to whether it will be okay, he will check it for you. You may not go well or nothing. But with a smile, he will be ready for the next try.

• He is sad when you are sad. All he want is your smile.

• He would love to talk to you, you are smart for him because he is stupid. (Don't let him say he's stupid because he isn't always like that)

• He will do whatever you want with you. He is not afraid of any activities. He is young, and he certainly knows how to play games. You can play anything. If he has never played anything like this, don't be afraid. He learns quickly.

It will be harder to make him dance. He will definitely not be dancing to any quiet music or gentle steps. Choreographies and maybe something dynamic. This is what I see in him.

Everyone would like to sleep. But it's one of his favorite activities outside of meeting friends.

Also doing sports. He is ready to play any game or run or just plain training without any sense.

He loves watching TV. No matter what he will watch.

• As a very understanding person, Yuji knows very well that sometimes you have a bad time. He knows exactly that sometimes life sucks, and sometimes even he needs to disappear for a while to take a break from it all.

• His love language is certainly physical touch. Words of affirmation and spending time too.

When he loves you, he will be with you every moment. To cheer you up or keep you in the mood.

He understands your insecurity. Therefore, he will hold your hand or hug you. Nothing by force. He will try to keep you safe so that you always know that you can rely on him. He will only do everything else if you want it yourself. When you let him.

"Don't worry. I will always be with you. You can count on me. Trust me. I would never hurt you."

𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗰 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁

Hello stranger! Welcome to my blog and to my pinned post, in this case. You are probably reading this because you are stalking me or considering to follow me (if you are not you should consider it y'now?), so keep reading. Also if you see this on your dashboard this works better on the "web" blog I don't know how to say it. Like, when you go to the url.com that thing. So go, what are you waiting for?

I'll put a cut because this is infinite. I don't want you to be scrolling till death if you don't want to read. I recommend reading it though. Well, if you're already a mutual you don't have to.

𝓑𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓬 𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓪

First off, you can call me Kat! I have my name in the blog title but anyway, it could be useful.

Any pronouns. I'm agender and I don't have preferences for pronouns, so as you like, I don't really mind.

English is NOT my first language, expect a lot of mistakes. I usually check a couple of times what I post, but sometimes I'm too lazy to do it. This post is the best example (I'm not checking and I won't do it).

I get bored easily. That's it that's the point.

I don't know what else to put here, I'm a dumb bitch. What do people even put on these? I'm just improvising, sorry.

𝓐𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝔂 𝓫𝓵𝓸𝓰

Surprise! I don't know how to draw, I don't know how to write and I don't know how to communicate with people! Have I mentioned that my English sucks? No? Well, there you have, then.

I can't be on two fandoms or like two shows at the same time (in this case), so don't expect me to post about anything else that isn't JoJo's. Also, expect tons of shitpost or me just talking about things that happen to me.

Every now and then I post something interesting, but not that much. My two most popular posts are an Araki drawing of Caesar and Joseph and a comment on TikTok about Stardust Crusaders and how fucking sad it is.

I used to talk a lot about DIO. Now I don't do it much, but just wait till I rewatch Stardust Crusaders. My gallery is filled with pics and videos of DIO, just you wait.

Caejose is my current brainrot, but I don't post much about it because I suck at headcanons. I think about old Caesar in Stardust Crusaders a l o t, but I just imagine specific scenarios, so that's why I don't post them (oh shit I just had a déja-vu).

I sometimes post about my dreams, when I'm not too embarrassed of them. I once dreamed with Abbachio poledancing, another one with Bucciarati and me in a jacuzzi and the last one I had I was hiding with Caesar in some secret place, I don't remember the context. My dreams are elite I don't care what y'all say.

I love tag and ask games, so feel free to tag me. I'm bored 80% of the day. If you like you can leave a random ask, I don't mind. Actually, I like random asks. Do it.

Also, I have like "sections" of my blog, like tags. "Kat draws" where I... post my sketches???, "Kat is mad" where I just post random stuff I'm mad at, "Kat kats"... I don't know what this is about it's me in my most pure state, that's why it's called "kats". I had to invent a verb.

If you see this tag ":]" on a post (most likely to be sth about DIO), hell is going to unleash on the rest of the tags. You can check it for yourself just by searching it on my profile.

Everyone is welcomed here and I want y'all to feel safe on my blog, unless...

𝓓𝓸 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽...

(I have to fix this part but it's 1 am I'll do it tomorrow ig)

If you are or support proshippers, this is not your blog, I'm sorry. I'm not comfortable with you around here.

If you are TERF/rad-fem. I don't share your ideals, sorry. I'm not comfortable with you around here either.

If you are or support pedophiles, racist, homophobic, transphobic people. Don't be an asshole please, open your eyes.

I want this to be a safe place for everyone and you are a threat to my goal.

𝓕𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓸 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝓮

Well, you can skip this, this will be long.

I'm dumb af, you can notice in many of my posts but it's important to get this clear before starting.

I'm a minor. I don't mind adults interacting as long as they aren't weird and aren't mentioned in my do not interact. Thank you.

Sometimes I'm too friendly, but please do not misundertand my words. I'm aro and I don't want any relationship. Sorry if you're uncomfortable with how I talk, just tell me and I'll stop.

I think I'm funny but I'm not.

I don't know how to communicate with people. I don't even know how to do it in my mother language, I don't know what you are expecting from me. I'd love to talk to you if you want though, I just suck and I'll probably run out of things to tell after 2 minutes of chatting.

I vent sometimes, but just trivial things. I think I do not have any TW to put like, in the general blog. If it is one, I'll put it on the specific post.

I get obsessed over a specific series, anime or book and I stick with it for months. In that time, I can't watch any other series or anime that isn't the one that I'm obsessed with at the moment. Right now I'm on my JJBA obsession.

Also, I've just watched the anime parts. I would start reading the manga, but I'm waiting for the Stone Ocean anime release. I don't know if I could wait til then though.

My personality type is INTP in MBTI and 5w4 in Enneagram. I was True Neutral in Alignment but I did the test on January. I have to do the tests again. By the way I know this tests aren't 100% accurate but it's the unstoppable need to try to know myself that keeps me inspiring me to do them on repeat, don't mind me. Annnd because I'm too lazy to read all the personalities one by one.

I don't know if anyone wants my Discord, but here it is anyways:

sakima#2527

I usually forget things a lot so expect a bunch of "I was going to say/complain about something but I forgot what it was".

I had more things to put on here but I forgot so this section will be constantly updated.

𝓚𝓲𝓷𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝔂

Again, the unstoppable need to know myself. Here's my kinwheel:

If you don't know how this works, in the centre is my main kin, then medium or highkey kins and lastly, the lowkey ones.

𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓼

JJBA

Get my blood sucked by DI- Oh no I shouldn't say this publicly sorry

That's it that's the section.

Recommend books and songs thank you

𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓭𝓮 𝓸𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻

I think that's it by now. Thank you for doing it this far! Now, can we be mutuals? Or besties maybe? I don't have much to offer, but here is my visual representation:

If you want to know about my JJBA opinions search the tag #jjba 30 day challenge. I left it on day 6 but I'll continue soon. I promise.

Well, now's definitely over. I hope you see me as a cool person because that's my goal in life. Also, I'm praying for this shit to work well on my blog, this ain't Amino.

Have a nice stay! Thank you for making it this far. And remember: you're cool, you're loved and you matter. Take care of yourself please. See ya.

Kat out ;)

PS: If you read this, you have to follow me, I don't make the rules /j

[multidimensionaldrunkgiraffe]

Hello from the other side

Didn't wanna clog up my description so I guess after fucking around for two months or so in this lovable shithole of a website it's time I posted an intro of some sorts?

I promise I'm a decent person on my WordPress blogs: the writing one, which is 4.5 years old and counting *puffs out chest proudly* and the art and photography one, which I created recently. Both of these are places where I post my original stuff, and I'd very much appreciate you taking a look at them.

Here? Well, we all know what we're here for. Here I reblog stuff relating to my 3000 hobbies and fandoms and hyperfixations, shitpost randomly and occasionally come up with original quotes or jokes. My MBTI says I'm INTP, which, fyi, is also Sherlock's personality type.

The story behind my username is- do you remember that episode of Doctor Who, when Eleven's regeneration is drawing near, and he says to a bunch of kids on another planet something along the lines of "Cool is not cool. Let's do the Drunk Giraffe!" and proceeds to do this dorky little dance? Yeah, well, from then on, 'drunk giraffe' for me became the kind of geeky, unabashedly weird, fangirly, tumblr-cool nerds that I'd always thought I'd fit right in with.

As for multidimensional, it comes partially from the actual love of my life Castiel. I see so much of myself in him and so much of him in me, and his whole journey, his arc; I guess that’s why I love him so much. It also comes from all the self-contradictory thoughts and feelings and traits stuffed inside me so yeah.

That’s about it, I guess. Not gonna write any more of a friggin’ character sketch for myself, nope. You could dm me, start a convo, we might become friends, and you’ll automatically get to know me. On that note, do not hesitate for a nanosecond if you’d like to talk, because it seems like all you queer nerds are holed up here and I can’t find any of you irl :((

[ill-be-istj-if-no-one-else-is]

(1/X) I’ve been casually interested in MBTI for awhile now, but I’ll be honest I still don’t 100% get the distinction between Te and Ti. Definitions? Yes. In practice? Much more questionable. Here’s a concrete example. In some round of DnD asks, you assigned someone sorcerer (I think), in part because they were a dom/aux Te user and you thought a Te user would enjoy reading a handbook cover to cover to get the ins and outs of their class spells, or something like that—don’t know a lot about DnD.

(2/X) This stuck with me, because that’s definitely something I would do, but I’d only ever thought about this from an enneagram perspective and never though of this in terms of Te vs. Ti. To apply this directly to me, I decided to try out League of Legends awhile back with some friends. Friends jumped in to learn as they played, but the game really punishes people without information parity. E.g., everyone knows how long this or that ability’s cool down is, and if you don’t, big disadvantage.

(3/X) So I spent a really long time learning the ins and out of character abilities, read guides, found best strategies, etc., before really allowing myself to play. Like I said I really only thought about this from an ennea perspective, because this is me (5) not wanting to look incompetent and pulling back to try and master something before allowing others to see me learn by failing. But for Te vs. Ti, I could argue this both ways, I feel like?

(4/X) Te, because sure, Te likes to collect practical, external knowledge it can use. Te appreciates the structured, organized approach to breaking down how the game works, understanding the pieces, and putting it together to get better. Like a game plan, but supported by research. But I feel like I can also make an argument for Ti. A Ti user does this because they want complete knowledge of the system and a sufficient understanding of the game is not “perfect,” and therefore not satisfactory.

Te would have said “reading cover to cover” (or mastering the mechanics for the game) goes past the point of diminishing returns and you’ve wasted time getting a perfect understanding of something rather than a good one. So which is right? I know behavior =/= cognition, but these seem conflicting, not just “eh, depends on your specific motivations, not the action.”

------

Hi anon,

I think the biggest thing to consider here is that when I do the D&D asks things I get a lot of questions from different people often who have given me very little information that does not directly translate to a D&D setting (eg, liking video games), and I have set a time limit for myself and them such that I’m just like “well this seems possible and I can justify why in some way.”.I cannot stress how much that is a game based on a shitpost, ie, not that deep, and not remotely suited for learning about typing.

With that said reading the D&D rulebooks cover to cover could very easily be either Ti or Te for three main reasons:

1. It’s really common for Te-auxes to be 5s. Off the top of my head I think INTJs and ISTPs are roughly tied for percentage who are 5s.

2. This is a game with a specific and finite rule set, vs. life in general and as such people are often going to engage with it very differently than they would with life, and Te users specifically might enjoy the optimization options open to someone familiar with a specific and finite rule set. I don’t know what this person’s type was, but if they were an STJ that might have influenced me as well for Liking Rules reasons.

3. People can like things and be interested in them and as such engage with them more than is absolutely necessary to get a sufficient understanding, because they’re having fun doing so.

I’d also add that in what you wrote here I don’t feel like a conflict is mentioned, until the end? Like, in the third and fourth parts you say you could see an argument for either Ti or Te (which is true) but then say you can’t see it for both by the end and I don’t quite know how you got there.

Basically, I’m not sure what you’re asking but either a Ti or Te user could reasonably do this. So could anyone, honestly, for reason 3.

Socionics functions vs MBTI functions vs Jung

So I mentioned Socionics and MBTI functions are different. They both come from the same source, Jung’s cognitive functions, which are rather different, too. Here’s how.

Se

Jung: Perceives in a realistic, concrete way--concerned with facts but not with drawing logical conclusions from them. Strong aesthetic sensibility--even draws moral conclusions based on “aesthetic purity.”

MBTI: Perceives “here and now” or “with the 5 primary senses.” Pleasure seeking, loves novelty, loves beauty. Good in high-intensity situations. Needs freedom, individualistic, fun.

Socionics: Perceives in terms of “kinetic energy.” Knowing what levers to pull and buttons to push to get results. Seeing weak points. Powerful, willful, competitive. Associated with aesthetics but only for their power value--cool, fashionable, intimidating.

Si

Jung: Absolutely fucking epic mythological internal world, but barely any ability to communicate appropriately with the outside world. Would be a great artist but tragically rarely will.

MBTI: Boring. Staid. Your parents. Your boss. Conservative. Terrific memory. Responsible. Level headed. Needs structure. Dislikes change. Nostalgic and focused on the past. Really good at improving at something gradually over time (because muscle memory, etc).

Socionics: Relaxed, cozy, love beauty, strong aesthetic sensibility, good at organizing their environment to produce the best internal sensations for them, carefree, very adaptable and willing to adapt without requiring explanation, poor long term planners.

Fe

Jung: Women be crazy, don’t they?

MBTI: Social and popular, smooths things over, good at blending in/getting along. Focused on finding objective moral conclusions. Tries to find a solution that is best for everyone.

Socionics: Can read and create passions, excitement, liveliness, fun, moods, emotional states. Can calm things down but is more likely to shake them up. Gets emotionally invested, gets others emotionally invested. Dislikes secrets. Focused on the immediate social/emotional landscape rather than the relationships it may impact.

Fi

Jung: Women be crazy but in a different way, don’t they?

MBTI: Personal values, individual morality. Always knows what they believe and puts their own individual opinions over the group. May seem less feeling, “still waters run deep.” Skeptical of conventions and norms.

Socionics: Evaluates relationships and psychological distance. Sense of etiquette and propriety. Does not see a need to be very demonstrative with emotions. Principled and serious.

Te

Jung: The reason nobody takes my ideas seriously. Concerned with concrete facts, data, organization, goal setting.

MBTI: Wants to make the external world more rational, by creating and upholding objective standards. Impersonal, blunt, “to the point.” Might believe that facts don’t care about your feelings.

Socionics: Deals with how things work and how they could be made to work better. Has a need to gather factual information, might love research and books. Really disturbed by saying anything they know not to be factually true, so blunt, not socially graceful.

Ti

Jung: Subjective, uses deductive reasoning, wants to abstract a system to its most fundamental principles. When they have created an idea/structure, they’ll release it into the world like the most negligent parent, letting it sink or swim on its own. Jung was Ti (Ti-S or what potentially might be Ti-Se).

MBTI: Concerned with how things fit together logically and if they “make sense,” not whether they are factually true or false. Wants to understand the “essence” of things. Independent, prefers working alone, potentially rebellious because of being critical of externally imposed structure, sometimes rigid.

Socionics: Can evaluate if things are logically consistent/correct, generate systems and structure, prefer to rely on their own experience/conclusions rather than authorities. Sensitive to redundant information. Dislike practicality. Dislike those who behave “irrationally.”

Ne

Jung: Function of entrepreneurs. In a few respects sounds more to me like how the other systems define Se and/or Te. Brainstormer, flighty, indecisive, focused on potential--in these ways, clearly not Se/Te-like.

MBTI: Wacky and creative, “outside the box,” can always see more possibilities, “looks behind” the data to find new connections and hidden potentials. Loves novelty, needs freedom, might seem scatterbrained.

Socionics: Able to see new possibilities, to accurately assess the talents (potential) of themselves and others, to see parallels between very different types of information. Sees many different ways something could happen. Likes the beginning stages of things.

All of them: Focused on potential, unable to tie own shoes, one of the better types.

Ni

Jung: Pulls together a wide array of phenomena into one, synthesized, image. Difficult to sway from their worldview and the images they perceive, which are often heavily abstracted from the reality that others see around them. With no outlet, is a “voice crying out in the wilderness.” Two subtypes: one for whom the imagery/associations they perceive is the only thing of value, and one who recognizes a moral value in these images and wants to communicate it.

MBTI: May appear “psychic” or have insights that “come out of nowhere” after they subconsciously piece something together. Feel things will play out with certainty according to what they foresee. Interest in archetypes and resolving paradoxes. “About the box” (as opposed to outside). Jung was Ni (INFJ).

Socionics: “Intuition of time.” Sees how things are developing, and where they are going. Focused on cause and effect. Rich mental world. Lazy and inactive. Can thrive in situations where they’re inexperienced or lack data. (However, they do not improve over time, unlike Si types.)

I’m sorry. This turned into much more of a shitpost than it was supposed to be.

I don’t think these definitions are fundamentally incompatible--in fact, I’ve illustrated each with a gif of a character who I think is correctly described by each system--but they don’t overlap 100% of the time.

The MBTI types as people I know (from an infj perspective)

This is based on the few people I've met in real life with these personality types. I haven't met all types so maybe yours isn't here.

INFP: So quiet. Works as a cashier with me in a grocery store. Says every "hi", "do you need a bag" etc like she has practiced in front of the mirror. Is super afraid to be left out of conversations. Asks "what are you laughing about", "what are you talking about", "what happened" all the time. Seems serious, but it's probably because she takes her role as a cashier pretty seriously, because it has to be perfect. Would hate herself if a customer was mean to her, but wouldn't tell anyone. Often says "I don't know" and is never mean. Instantly smiles when I smile. Likes to build on my weird thoughts, but it's hard to read her actual opinion on things.

ESTP: Leader of a youth organization for atheists. Loves ranting about politics. Has a strong opinion on every matter, but has no opinion when it comes to taking peoples feelings into conversation, other than what he knows is morally correct and practical. Accidentally uses master suppression techniques to win arguments. Regrets being to harsh when he accidentally hurt someone, and awkwardly tries to apologize. Has a partner who he listens to before anyone else. Loves emo punk, computer games and discussing existential, social and political issues. Reacted to his personality type by saying "I guess I'm ESTP" *sighs* as if any answer would have been a disapointment. Oftentimes asks the questions we needed to hear, like "so if this is the case, then what are we even discussing here, this is a meaningless conversation, isn't it?". Very practical. Very nice. Wishes everyone well.

ISFP: Friend of enfp. Is obsessed with this one thing, MMA. She sees everyone as competition and wants to prove them wrong. Wants to go against the big and though guys and be respected equally. Pushes people away, then says she didn't initially like them, but instantly takes them into their life again when they take initiative at all. Is a real soft girl, but pretends to be emotionless. Rants about how stupid this one guy she met at the store was. Is very spontaneous. Goes on dates with the most handsome people, because she actually takes initiative and comes off as confident. But analyses people because "what if they don't actually like her". Has a beautiful smile and everyone listens to what she says. Good story teller and manages to get people on board with her opinions quite easily. Comes off as super extroverted, but is really in her own head, likes being alone and secretly seeks intimacy

ESTJ: Person 1, a guy. He talks before thinking. Oftentimes seen as a big jerk and doesn't mind saying things like it is. Is very traditional when it comes to certain things. Doesn't know how to cope with my feelings, and might say "seems like you have a bunch of problems man", instead of saying something that helps. Potentially saying "at least you have this and that" or "people are dying". Listens to ABBA, loves cars and cats. Has never been in a relationship because he is afraid people judge him like he judges people. Will scream at you if he finds you anoying, a hypocrite or stupid. Doesn't care. Wants to care about politics, but hates all the parties. Loves my hugs but won't ever take the initiative for them. Very practical, knows how to fix everything. Could build Ikea furniture without looking at the manual. Asks me for advice he doesn't take. Jumps to conclusions. Beliefs me as if I'm God, and will hand me his phone to answer messages more emphatically if he really likes someone, so that he doesn't come off mean. Likes to annoy me because I react to it, then smiles after and make me smile to. Beautiful smile. Never talks about emotions, but has a lot when I ask him about it. Has no time for bullshit. We actually fit together, despite the stereotype that infj and estj dont have anything in common. I see it as we can learn from each other. Person 2: Has been through a lot of family issues and sick people. Listens to rap and ironically terrible music. Once went up to her boyfriend at work and yelled at him in front of all the customers because life is more exciting that way. Very fashionable, yet comfortable. Is her own mom figure. Does her chores. Will tell you to snap out of it if you're too emotional, which I need sometimes. Mom friend. Sits with the older people.

ENFP: Person 1, my roommate and boyfriend for four years. Has so much positive energy. Laughs away his insecurities. *Smirks, looks to the side, huge hand gestures and body movements without context*. Over explains everything. Everyone considers him a close friend, yet he doesn't concider anyone a close friend because "they don't know the real him, only the fasade". Insists on keeping it that way, because he knows people like that version of him. Wants to be liked by everyone, and thinks "challenge accepted" when someone doesn't instantly like him. Has really bad or dark humor. Listens to super creepy and intense music to feel something. Talks a lot, thinks a lot, knows a lot about things nobody should know about, remembers practical facts, but doesn't remember to lock the door. Oftentimes has to edit what he says as it comes out weird and people take it literally. Gets easily distracted, especially if there's animals nearby. Can't multitask. Loves children. Person 2: Never sleeps, forgets to eat but loves food, has plans every day. Has 689 friends who she actually hangs out with. Laughs constantly. Is not afraid to meet new people and instantly befriends them. Loves music, especially classical and orchestra. Plays the French horn. Very very patient. Colors her hair, cuts it short, cuts it off, grows it out, burns it. Doesn't want to hurt anyone. When she gets mad she gets real mad. Person 3: Makes music. Talks about it's so passionately. Cried when his favorite band died and everyone listened. Didn't talk to girls before he started high school. Very good at imitations. Has a lot of projects and dreams that he actually tries achieving. Talks so much, but only has introverted friends. (I know so many enfps, I'm not gonna write about them all).

ISFJ: My actual mom. Does everyone's chores. When she gets help with the chores, she will do them again "like she likes them done". Everything around her magically gets clean. Will clean your apartment if she visits. Is super patient and let people be mean to her without saying anything. Is loved by everyone, but doesn't believe it. Very good mom, she thinks you should follow your heart, not your brain. Stresses a lot, but laughs and is super happy when we're together. Everyone comes to her with their problems, my mom doesn't respond, but they still feel better after she opens her mouth. Hates making food, but is great at it. Finds everything funny, but is rarely the funny one. Has a lot of controlling people in her life and doesn't want me to experience that. Very skeptical, but still open.

INTJ: Is one year ahead of her age group in her education. Takes on the leading role in every single thing she can, complains about having much to do, but doesn't quit, and still wants more responsibility. Has perfect grades and actually reads the emails she gets. Would probably read terms and conditions to. Is very negative, and doesn't see her reached goals as anything's special, but most people look up to her for those things. Falling in love is a lot of work in her opinion, so she stresses about anyone potentially liking her. Very calm. Likes being alone. Jokes sadly about existence. Has goals. Very perfectionistic and realistic. Wants what's best for people. Very likable. Always on her phone and has streaks with everyone. Everyone falls in love with her and she doesn't understand why.

ENTP: "FIGHT ME". Is the loudest. Has an opinion about everything. Will answer your sayings with "Or DoEs It", "Or WiLl YoU", "BuT wHaT iF i PrOvEd YoU wRoNg newbie girl. Is politically active and and activist. Shitposts on social media. Both accidentally and consciously hits on everyone. Is never single. Has a lot of anxiety and deals with it by socializing. Meets new people every day. Cares about their physical presence and clothing. Isn't afraid of the dark and will probably go out in the middle of the night thinking "if anyone tries to kill me now I would fight them, or, I would die happily tbh". Knows everyone you know. Spills their feelings. Constantly points fingers. Likes new wave. Very physical. Cares about people. Will point out your contradictions.

INTP: Person 1: Has the sexiest voice. Good at imitations. Knows everything about politics both nationally and internationally. Plays video games all day long and is addicted to energy drinks. Has a really bad physical attitude. Laughs of his own jokes. Is really insecure, and self aware. Often regrets saying the mean things he thought. Acts very cold and seems to not like affection, but will hug you and let you sleep in his bed if he loves you. Beautiful smile. Rarely takes initiative, but if he likes you he will do it when he first craves social interactions. Cuts people out of his life like he's a waking pair of scissors. Has blocked me from social media 10 times I think because I mess with his feelings and because as an infj he doesn't understand my idealism. He would be okay with doing the right thing no matter how many people would get hurt by it. We have the exact same humor. Puns puns puns. Very skeptical and has allready decided what he thinks about every single matter. Is very closed minded, and can scare people off by coming off like that. Listens to synth music. Loves Depeche Mode. Could stay indoors all year long. Hates coping with his emotions. Will say "why" if you tell him you like him in a romantic way, and will get uncomfortable about having to deal with it. Wants to get married, but doesn't know how to start. In my opinion, the most attractive type in addition to enfp. There's just something really attractive about this personality, but also dangerous. The only personality I've met who can make me overthink like crazy. Person 2: She knows everything about pop culture. Loves cats. Listens to David Bowie and Cher. Only opens up to me, and that's after I've asked directly about it. Has a lot of emotions, but never shows them. Will make a face if she disagrees, but won't say anything. Loves watching dry humor programs. Loves candy. Has a whole line of generation in sims 4. Loves her family and would live at home by choice forever. Cares about social issues and wants justice. Likes extroverts because she can sit back and relax. Her interactions with other intps are unbearable as it gets so quiet you can hear crickets. Is very likable. Will laugh at all your jokes, of her own, and of her face with an ugly Snapchat filter on them. Hates group chats. Procrastinates every thing.

ENTJ: The only thing I know about her do far is that she does cosplay, makes her own costumes, says things like she couldn't care less what you thought about it, and has a lot of ambitions.

[mbtiwebcomic]

Hello , sorry, this has barely anything to do with the comic but I've been seeing Ne and Fe in a lot of MBTI places, can you tell me what is means??

Sure! Ne and Fe are the names of two out of the eight cognitive functions, which are, in a nutshell, what makes MBTI useful.I assume you have never heard of cognitive functions before, so I'm going to write a semi-detailed explanation below, and then put some links to some better explanations, because I'm a pretty terrible teacher :D.Just a warning, I'm gonna explain things in a bit of an impersonal, scientific way, because this is getting exhausting.

Cognitive functions:

Perceiving functions: How you take in information:

Extraverted iNtuition (Ne): Engages in the world of ideas, seeing possibilities in everything, constantly searching for new opportunities. Ne users are the people who have countless unfinished projects because they thought of something new, the ones who have an association for anything but might see subtext in things that have no subtext, the ones who focus on all the possible way a situation might turn out, the majority of which, however, are unlikely ("Guys, guys! What if the fishes find a way to turn themselves into cyborgs using the screwdriver we have left close to their aquarium, we need to make sure they can't turn their anger towards humanity, I have seen what these little buggers can do when angry"). Usually quite from reality, they disregard tradition and small details, preferring to use their own methods. The embodiment of the "iNtuitive leap", they jump from one idea to another in a matter of seconds, their line of thought extremely chaotic and unpredictable.The idea generation of Ne users is entirely focused on associations. Unlike Ni users, they can't get ideas from the subconscious as easily, so they turn to the outer world, which is a playground for their active imagination. An ellipse from a homework assignment can take them to some flying spheres that are used as attack drones they saw in a video game, which then can bring them to the fact that the average person's idea of what a U.F.O can look like is quite unfit to fly through space, or enter the atmosphere of a planet, and how those attack sphere drones might be a better design. (I'm a strong Ne user, so I'm really sorry if that doesn't make sense to you). Also, they are quite spontaneous and impulsive, and when they get an idea, their eyes lighten up, and they become hyper-energetic as if the idea has injected something in their veins.

A shitpost that describes what Ne does in different positionsIntroverted iNtuition (Ni): Extremely focused on the future, tend to make big-picture detailed plans (Some of them might know what they want to work as, where they want to live, where they will go to university, at a very young age. But to be fair, Ne users do this too, with the difference that Ni users generally have planned one path to happiness, while Ne users have a general idea of all the things that could happen, and their plans are more relaxed, similar to a "Connect The Dots" game, while Ni users' plans resemble a Labyrinth game.). A bit slow to make decisions, because they always think of the possible consequences (and here, the difference between Ni and Ne is shown again, as Ni users will only think of the most possible outcome, which can make them miss something, and Ne users will think of all the possible outcomes, covering everything, but with more choices there are more opportunities for mistakes.). Unlike Ne users, which generally have a lot of varied interests, Ni users are deeply interested in few things and are likely to become competent at them, while Ne users are generally jacks-of-all-trades. They need to be organised in their mental world, which makes them a bit of restrained in their actions, not being able to let go and don't care like Se users.

A shitpost that describes what Ni does in different positions 

Extraverted Sensing (Se): Engages in the physical world, lives in the moment, often disregarding past experience and future consequences. Wants to experience everything that can be experienced, and not be restrained in any way. Actively seeking sensory experiences (thrills?), like sex, drinking, car races, etc., but also tamer ones like art, expensive pretty things (from what I have heard, diamonds and fast cars are really popular with them), and crafting. Se users are usually "hands-on" people that want to do things, not read about them and can get quite restless when they aren't doing something physical that can affect the world around them. They rarely plan, leaving things to chance, trusting their ability to think quickly to find solutions to the problems that arise.

A shitpost that describes what Se does in different positions

Introverted Sensing (Si): This function helps its user assess the current situation by comparing it to the past, and relying on what has worked before to get out of it. While it may not seem like that, Si is just as in touch with the environment around it as Se is, however, focusing on details, memories, and the sense of one's body (It's common knowledge that Ne users are so detached from reality, they often forget to eat, drink water, or sleep. No such thing in Si users.). Si users like to be comfortable, be it physically or emotionally. They generally aren't comfortable with change, and don't appreciate it when they are forced into situations which they aren't familiar and/or okay with. Si users tend to idealise the past, however they are in for trouble when they start living in it, instead of jumping in the present to create new memories.

A shitpost that describes what Si does in different positions

Judging functions: How you make decisions:

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Ti seeks to formulate an inner logical framework, often disregarding systems imposed on them by others. Ti users need to be able to do anything on their own - to be independent AND competent. Everything needs to make sense to them. They just won't do something, because "I said so", and, if forced, are going to do it begrudgingly, and as slow and bad as possible. Ti users are terrified of failure because it confirms what they have always feared - that they are incompetent morons that can never succeed. Maybe this fear, combined with their analytical mind, is what makes them so good at spotting logical errors anywhere they go. It would be more efficient if the elevator was on this side. Some food stands in the park might improve property value. Anything that can be improved, no matter how irrelevant, must be fixed. It must be perfect. They must be perfect. Alas, no one can be perfect, and they know it. This doesn't stop them from beating themselves up about it though. Ti, especially when combined with Si, is a knowledge sponge. They must be constantly learning, be it the theory of relativity, or random video game lore. Ti users are frustrated with incompetence and idiocy (qualities that Ti users are EXTREMELY afraid of appearing in themselves.)and can get quite snarky and look down on people upon encountering those qualities in them.

A shitpost that describes that Ti does in different positionsExtraverted Thinking (Te): While Ti users operate on their own logical framework, for Te users logic is something universal, and therefore, standards and regulations must be imposed to keep the order. Te users like the world around them to be organised, and can't stand disorder and destructive behaviour, and often, see themselves as the person that needs to civilize the chaotic wasteland. Without order, everything would fall apart. Therefore, they usually respect authority, while still having doubts about it, unlike their Ti cousins which seem to be born suspicious to the people in charge. Te users are quite confident and forceful, rarely doubting their abilities (another thing that distances them from Ti users). As said above, for them, logic is something universal, and, for something to be true, facts from the outside must be collected and put to the test. While Ti users might adore theorising about abstract subjects that have no practical value, Te users do so reluctantly, and only if they see the purpose of doing so. Their confidence and love for order makes them great at leading others, and are naturals at climbing the corporate ladders.

A shitpost that describes that Te does in different positions

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Value authenticity. They have a very strong set of beliefs and values, and an almost cult-like devotion to them. Fi users are characterised deep, intense, private experience of emotions, which they are aware of to a great extent, along with a desire to understand themselves. This desire is connected to their fascination with a human's "soul", believing everyone is unique and great in their own way. If someone is pretending to be someone they are not (Common in Fe users that either do not know how to blend in any other way or because of social customs), they are being unauthentic, and therefore, not respected by the Fi user. They might come off as egoistic and "holier-than-thou", because of their bad opinion about externally expressing emotions, and their priority for what they want and feel over others' desires.(Fi is the function I know the least about, and I'm really sorry for the incomplete status of this, make sure to read more in the links provided. Also check Fe's entry, as there are some comparisons between the two.)

A shitpost that describes that Fi does in different positionsExtraverted Feeling (Fe): While Fi focuses on the needs of the individual, Fe focuses on the needs of the group, wanting everyone to feel involved and happy. Unlike Fi users, Fe users don't have a great awareness of their own emotions and will either bottle them up (which will eventually lead to a REALLY ugly explosion) or bring them into the outer world, talking to someone about it. Fe users are usually accepting, and disgusted by discrimination (An important thing, I'm not saying Fe users are always accepting of everyone, or calling Fi users bigots. Things are really complicated. The two Feeling functions might be against or pro discrimination for their own reasons - Fi's values might include accepting of everyone, while Fe might see a person of different race, sexuality, etc. disrupting their social circle, making changes that they are not comfortable with, and etc.). Because of their awareness of the social landscape, they have learned how to fake emotions quite well (something disgusting to Fi users), which can be extremely destructive when Fe shows its dark side in the form of manipulation. Like Te users see logic as something universal, Fe users see morality as such, and often impose their moral views on others in a passive-aggressive way (another thing Fi users loathe) because mother knows best (this is a joke). Fe users are more dependent on affirmation than others, and might strive for approval from everyone around them, devastated by any sign of disappointment. This strive for approval can turn really messy, especially when Fe is in a low position. Quite similar to Ti, Fe can make the person feel like they are not good enough, that they are pathetic and that they are not worthy of others' attention. The lower the Fe is, the higher the chance of social-anxiety-like behaviours emerging, with the person being afraid of letting people know them and avoiding looking at people or striking up conversations.

Okay, so it’s 3 AM and I’m fucking tired, so I’m gonna be quick.

Each MBTI type has 4 functions, 2 judging and 2 perceiving. Each function goes in pair with their opposite:

Ti - Fe

Te - Fi

Ne - Si

Ni - Se

I’m really sorry that I’m not able to explain everything about the functional stack right now, I’m really tired, but I’m gonna put some links down here to some great resources:

A really good masterpost that will give you everything you need

Really comprehensive, universally acclaimed, but terrible UI and design

A very good blog with resources

Great post that I kinda copied

I wish tumblr let classify blogs like make different dash. That way you could be more organised, especially if you have a lot of blogs. That way you can have your aesthetic dash, your mbti dash, your insert-fandom-here dash, your shitpost dash, your art dash, your write dash…

I have a lot of interests and I follow a lot of blogs and can’t visit one for one lol.

@staff do you think something like that could be possible?

-what I post about: that son of a gun sure do love those gorillaz. also i post my own mediocre art and make shitposts and memes because i find myself hilarious and i write headcanons and am starting to do fics. but yeah it’s all centered around grillz, and sometimes like 1% damo but never hewll because. i don’t really like him lmao. i think my most common tag is murdoc and i know he sucks but i would fucking die for him in a heartbeat

-last thing I googled: ..........mii channel hip hop remix on youtube and i’ve had it on loop and my roommate hates me but. it’s a fucking bop okay don’t judge me

-following: 939

-followers: 1,233

-favorite color: yellow but like a Very Specific Yellow like strong golden yellow that one might be able to argue is actually orange but Bitch It Is Fucking Yellow (here it is) like half of everything i own is this color which was fun at first but one day i walked out of the house when it was raining and realized i was wearing yellow boots, a yellow raincoat, a yellow beanie, a yellow backpack and was holding a yellow umbrella and it was at that point that i realized that i had a Problem. my friends make fun of me for it rip

-average hours of sleep: half of the week it’s like 4 and half of the week it’s like 14 because of the ol’ depresh so i’m not actually sure at all. probably like 7 if i absolutely had to pick a number

-lucky number: 3

-instruments: classical piano (and i guess keyboard by extension) but i can’t sightread for shit (i’m good at playing by ear tho!), general percussion like bells and xylophone and marimba, i did tenor drum in marching band for like one year but i’m pretty horrible at non-mallet percussion lmao. also i had a vuvuzela for like two years but my roommate confiscated it because “vuvuzelas are not to be played at 3 in the morning, ariel” and anyway i don’t think it really counts

-what I’m wearing: glasses, black skinny jeans, my black x men sweatshirt that has like pictures of the vintage comic panels on it and yes i got it from hot topic don’t judge me for that i was like 14, dark blue baseball cap that says “best dad ever” across the front but i’m wearing it backwards because i’m cool. i got it for father’s day so that i could match with my grandpa

-how many blankets i sleep with: generally like 2 or 3 but at this point they’re all crumpled up at the bottom of the bed anyway so mainly just the big comforter and a throw blanket over that if it’s really cold

-dream jobs: oh man uhh. i used to think i wanted to be like a genetics/evolutionary biology professor and do research on evolution or cancer or hiv/aids and teach at like ucsf or something. or like work for nasa as an astrobiologist, or maybe work as a vet for a zoo. but now i don’t think i wanna do that anymore? to be quite honest if i could be 100% guaranteed whatever job i wanted i think i’d want to be a showrunner for an animated show on cartoon network or adult swim, like not something just with storyboards or animation, but like actually involved in the writing of the show. i’d love to write for a tv show on cartoon network or something like the office or brooklyn 99 or even a story-based video game, or maybe like do something where i get to just joke around and be funny all the time like what the mcelroys or game grumps do but. i have No Idea how to go about doing that and honestly i think jobs like that just happen to people randomly so it’s not really like, a Secure Job Option To Pursue. but i really hope somehow i end up doing something like that. i just wanna do something where i can create something meaningful that i’m proud of and see people connecting with it and feeling happy and inspired and less alone because of it, and maybe liking it so much a fandom or something grows around it. i’d be so fucking happy if that happened. 

-dream trip: i really want to go to new york with my jewish grandparents and see where they grew up and all the places they lived so i can finally experience all the places i’ve heard so many stories about? same thing with my abuelitos like i wanna go to mexicali with them or mérida in the yucatán and just see where they came from and where all their stories happened and meet all the relatives that they left behind when they came to the united states. also i think going to like, denmark or england or germany would be really cool? my friend studied abroad in england this summer and her snapchat story was full of dogs and random cows and those are some good things. i would very much like to softly caress a gentle english cow they have beautiful eyes

-favourite food: kbbq? ? ?? Bitch I Love KBBQ. fuck now i want kbbq. also mangoes, and deli sandwiches from the deli by my temple, and jazz apples, and sugary coffee, and sweet corn tamales, and high mountain milk tea with taro qq but sharetea stopped selling taro qq and i’m still salty because of that. and raw lemons because i’m an inhuman monster. can you tell i’m hungry rip

-nationality: american (specifically born and raised californian even though i know that’s not really a nationality but i love california so much you guys im so glad it’s my home) edit: apparently people are puttin in their ethnicities too on this?? ? i’m half american jewish which is. basically white lmao and half mexican idk i look super white tho im so pale rip

Yesterday, I received an offer from my dream job that made it necessary to reduce my online presence to almost nothing because it requires a high level security clearance. I went ahead and made the decision to delete this Tumblr knowing the content is permanently archived on countless other awesome MBTI and resource blogs. There's no shortage of excellent and established Tumblrs to follow ran by intelligent and experienced people who can provide deep insight into personality theory. You're all in good hands.

The secret (or not so secret) purpose of this blog has always been to give intelligent, driven, ambitious, hopeful, and good people I encountered on the internet who were perhaps lacking the practical knowledge, context, confidence, encouragement (and the occasional kick in the ass) to pursue their dreams the power to do so. That’s it. The MBTI content, the written guides, the photos of nice cars and fancy clothes, the quotes, the dog gifs, the occasional jokes, and the shitposts were just a way to get your attention because the internet would have survived just fine without one more blog like that. What I truly sought to do was to make you understand your potential, your value, and the impact you can make on this world with a little more accountability, a little more effort, and a little more courage. And if along the way I could ease your journey with advice, feedback, mentoring, tips, and tricks then I was happy to do so. 

It was to show you, via leading by example, that a poor kid born in the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia to parents with very limited education who, in 1990, won an immigrant visa in a lottery to move to one of the greatest countries in the world could make something of himself, could live well, could live right, and could spread that to other people in his life without sacrificing his soul, his integrity, or his moral compass. It was to show that you can succeed without being ruthless, lead without being manipulative, love without being afraid, and experience some of the worst this world has to offer without losing optimism that tomorrow can and will be better. 

When you finally make it later in life and someone else needs the help, I hope you take the time to pass on any knowledge, experience, and assistance you can provide. Don’t try to pay back the people who have helped you because most don’t want it and many won’t need it-- instead, pay it forward to the next person. Don’t use MBTI or any other personality science as a crutch for your shortcomings or a ceiling for your potential. Personality theory is just a tool-- it’s not the goal. I’m not successful because I’m an ENTJ, I’m an ENTJ who just happens to be successful. If I was reincarnated in another life as another person on the other side of the world with circumstances much tougher than the ones I grew up in I would still find a way to make it, I would still fight, and I would still win. Your life belongs to you, you dictate where it goes, you decide what’s most important-- the world will just have to deal with it.

With that said, I will miss the good people I've met on this platform whether or not we've ever directly spoken to each other. I accidentally fell into the MBTI community in March 2016 after making one random post about elevating the blood pressure of certain types. With no expectations and no intention to stay, I was drawn in by the warm welcomes and overwhelming positive feedback that culminated in over 3000 followers as of yesterday afternoon. I was surprised to discover this place isn’t a community at all, it’s actually more of a dysfunctional yet oddly functional family with moms, dads, crazy uncles, loud aunts, fun cousins, annoying cousins, bickering siblings, weird in-laws, grumpy grandparents, and nosy neighbors named Shannon and Patricia that hold it together. That resonated with me then and it resonates with me now, I’ll remember that. 

We all have that one job we've wanted since we were young, that one we pictured ourselves having that seemed unattainable and unrealistic at first but that we carried hope into adulthood might happen. After almost 30 years of life I'm fortunate enough to finally get that chance. I’m seizing it.

You have to do it now. 

If you wait until morning, you'll lose heart.

— Khaled Hosseini 

If you want to keep in touch, whether or not we’ve ever spoken, go ahead and drop me a message via Tumblr and I’ll send you my Skype username and/or email address. They’re connected to my phone so you’ll practically have my phone number. I’m always gone but never hard to find.

If circumstances change and life permits, I might find my way back here again one day. Until then, this is goodbye, and good luck. 

Mr. ENTJ

maybe a dumb q but is it uncommon to not relate to any grip/loop behaviour patterns? I for sure must have been in a loop/grip at some point in my life, but i just dont think i relate to just a single particular set of stress behaviours. i read the descriptions and arent they just generally... a bit vague? being irritable, withdrawal from others, self doubt, sleeplessness or oversleeping. how are these related to just one function? arent these things just common traits of a depressive episode? /1

even thinking of the times ive had depression all i did was: self loathe, play pc games, sleep, cook all the damn time even tho i barely ate anything to the point i couldnt fit any more food into my fridge, self isolate, not speak to anyone, despair, overthink, and cry. isnt that mroe or less just... common depressive behaviour? how is anyone suppose to relate that kind of disordered behaviour to any type? sorry if this is stupid btw lol i can be kinda dense /2

-----------------------------------------

Hi anon,

I don’t know if it’s common or not but I’m pretty sure it’s more normal to feel this way than not to feel this way, and here’s why.

You actually might not have ever been in a grip or loop in your life! There was a good shitpost a while ago which was like “remember how you once thought you were so twisted and unredeemable and it turned out you were just like, 15” and I think that the “I am damaged, I am unhealthy, I have undergone such trauma” mindset gets really unhealthily amplified on Tumblr and in typology circles, and it’s one that should get shut down far more than it does, and while that’s a whole other post, the summary is lots of people are like “I think I’m TERRIBLY UNHEALTHY and I’ve been looping for YEARS” and 99.9% of the time either they have a very standard and reasonably treatable mental illness, they are mistyped and so their standards for what healthy looks like are wildly incorrect for who they actually are, or they’re just like, cranky and melodramatic and need to take a nap.

It’s also of course entirely possible you have been in a grip or loop if you were, chances are your mind was on something else and your memories of that time are not going to be Ah yes, I recall when my tertiary function’s impulses were used to validate the worst impulses of my dominant function which then reinforced those tertiary function behaviors; they’re going to be “I remember when I was going through some really bad times.”

I don’t know which descriptions you read because the ones I have linked aren’t quite that vague, but things like irritability, withdrawal, self-doubt, and sleeplessness are indeed pretty universal stress behaviors (and this includes acute stress that falls short of mental illness - like, a breakup or finals week can lead to this sort of behavior). They can’t and shouldn’t be linked to any specific type.

Which brings me to my point, which is I think I have, at least for the past couple years, been increasingly clear in that I think typing off of stress behaviors is an unequivocally bad idea. It’s bad because a lot of stress behaviors are widespread symptoms of either normal levels of stress or various mental illnesses (ie, you are 100% justified in asking how one could possibly relate the general behaviors you describe to a type). It’s bad because it pushes you to focus on yourself at your worst instead of at your normal baseline functioning, which absolutely, in my opinion, is going to perpetuate that edgy I Am Damaged mentality for people who are completely average in terms of health, and make it easier for people who actually are dealing with mental illness to think it’s just who they are instead of a treatable situation that can be improved. It’s bad because people are the least likely to be able to consider themselves objectively and calmly in those moments, and neurologically, it’s actively hard to remember things when you’re depressed, stressed, or grieving - like, if you are clinically depressed for a couple of months, you will not form new memories of that time in the same way you normally would! So typing off of stress basically is like ‘hey take this thing about which you have little in the way of valid information and which makes you feel bad about yourself and hyperfixate on this only and use it to consider something that’s supposed to be a model of your personality at large’. It is such a bad idea and I have theories as to why it caught on but it doesn’t matter because it just needs to stop.

This isn’t to say looping and gripping aren’t worth considering, but if you read Was That Really Me, the text that defined gripping, there are some worthwhile takeaways. First: this book is the observations of an external party (the psychologist who wrote it), not the observations of people actually living it. Second, while there’s some advice on what to do, it’s from the perspective of that therapist, a person who has been explicitly brought in by those people experiencing stressors to help.

I don’t think the intent of introducing the concept of gripping was to help people type themselves or avoid the step of seeking some kind of help during a period of stress, but rather to provide some explanations for patterns of behavior, perhaps indicate some warning signs, and show how psychologists who use MBTI apply it.

More generally, understanding the loop and grip for your type can help show you the specific thought process behind certain stress behaviors you have as an individual that are not explicitly symptoms of depression or anxiety, but it’s a thing to look at after you already have figured out your type from other means, and it’s a potential pitfall, not a thing that you’ve necessarily experienced.
