I want to listen to music, but I'm in a small hotel room with three relatives (we're on vacation). How do I ensure that they don't judge me?

Blast the tunes for the whole group. ;)

I second JD's suggestion.

I - uh - "aye" JD's suggestion. :) And don't worry about them judging you! If they do, that's their problem. :)

Amen!

Guys! I published my poetry book! I don't want to link to it here, because that would be shameless self-promotion, but you can find it on my profile. :D

WOOT WOOT!!!!

My brother gifted me and my other brother with a MacBook Pro, but I am terrified to make the switch from Windows to Mac. O:O So I'm still using my old beast of a laptop, that doesn't charge, and you can't right click. ;)

Hey y'all! Let's try to keep the random chat like personality types and nicknames, in the random chat channel (this channel). :) That way it's easier for everybody to keep track of things!

ENTP and INFJ are actually a compatible pairing - ie, most they're supposedly the best pairing for each other. I do know for certain that INFJ's are supposed to be the most extroverted of introverts (and having an INFJ sister, I can confirm that). Also, my cousin who I suspect to be an ENTP is rather shy.

Their functions are as follows:

ENTP:
Extroverted Intuition
Introverted Thinking
Extroverted Feeling
Introverted Sensing

INFJ:
Introverted Intuition
Extroverted Feeling
Introverted Thinking
Extroverted Sensing.

As you can see, the two have the same middle functions - their decisions functions, incidentally, - just in the opposite order. They both make decisions based on internal thought and external emotion. An INFJ is more comfortable with the external emotion, while an ENTP will usually go with their impulsive internal thought. It is usually in stressful situations that they fall back on their third function.

However, the big difference that I would focus on would be the first function. Introverted vs. Extroverted Intuition. Their lead perception processes. I did quite a bit of study on the difference between the two last year, as I was writing an INTJ character.

However, I still don't feel quite qualified to explain the difference, so I'm going to point you to this well-written article and you can come back and ask me questions. How does that sound?

*is an INFJ* I don't know if I'd call myself "extroverted" but I have found I like people a lot.

I didn't say that you are extroverted, just that you have tendencies more typical of extroverts - it's your extroverted feeling second function. But acting extroverted takes a LOT of energy out of you.

I, on the other hand, am an ENFP, which is supposedly the most introverted of extroverts. I love people - I crave attention, but ... am also terribly shy. It's a problem.

I am an INFJ and I feel really introverted at times lol especially compared to some of my friends xD I do like people and enjoy company, but I can feel so drained if I'm around big crowds or too many people at once...I think it's easier for me to talk just one-on-one :P Idk, I wish I wasn't so shy at times, but I can't seem to make myself not be lol

Okay okay, so I'm neither. LOL! I just found I had pasted the results from the 16 Personalities test I had taken awhile ago, and I was an ISFJ. Which, between an INFJ, an ENTP, and an ISFJ, ISFJ is the most accurate. So I'm gonna go with that one. ;) It defines me to a T: "Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas."

Thanks Kendra! I now know me! LOL!

I feel drained after being around a lot of people too, which is why I don't think I'm an extrovert, but yet I am not super shy, and hide in a corner and never say a word, actually I tend to talk - A LOT! XD So, I am somewhere in between the two, which is where I think you are too. :)

Mm, well, actually, ISFJ actually still has the same two center decision functions. They just lead with Introverted Sensing. Which is actually my last function. So. Yeah.

ISFJ's are cool. Some of my favorite aunts are that.

Bekah's an ISFJ. Trying to wrap my brain around the whole cognitive functions thing doesn't work very well. But I identify with the descriptions of how INFJ brains work. It helps me understand me.

Do I need to come over and show you my handy flashcards that I made my mother?

True, true. I love helping with first grade Sunday school, but I'm SO tired when I get home. And like Elaina, I do better with one-on-one conversation. When more people than that are talking, I tend to let them talk to each other while I quietly observe and struggle to be assertive enough to make any input whatsoever. :p

Kendra wrote: "ENTP and INFJ are actually a compatible pairing - ie, most they're supposedly the best pairing for each other. I do know for certain that INFJ's are supposed to be the most extroverted of introvert..."

I'm an INFJ and my brother is an ENTP, and our brains are sort of like puzzle pieces--we just "fit" together and we're really, really good at stimulating each other's thought processes. It's quite fun.

Jessica wrote: "Kendra wrote: "ENTP and INFJ are actually a compatible pairing - ie, most they're supposedly the best pairing for each other. I do know for certain that INFJ's are supposed to be the most extrovert..."

I think my sister and I are like that. Not those personalities, but we brainstorm really well together.

That is the best thing :-)

(You're an ISFJ, right? Do you know your sister's personality type? Just curious, if you/she don't mind sharing--I really like personality stuff :-) )

Yes, I am. :) I'll ask her - or have her pop on later. :)

Okay :)

@Jessica, I don't know what my personality type is. The last time I took a test, they got a lot of things wrong about me, so I wrote it off. I will take it again and let you know. Now I am curious. LOL!

Heehee! That happens a lot with the online test, unfortunately . . . I'm curious, too :)

Well, I just took the test, and I don't agree with everything, but here is the result.

ENFJ, -A/-T

And here is the link if you want to read it, though, some of it is wrong. LOL!

Sure. Go for it. ;)

Yeah, that's introvert for sure!

Hm. I'm an INFJ, so if you are an ENFJ you'd be the extroverted version of my personality. Interesting . . .

All right! I'll pop right over!

If there are any ebook fans here I have posted on my profile a list of free and low-cost Kindle deals for today.

If people think it's valuable, I will begin to curate a list of deals on a regular basis. They usually expire within 24 hours so act fast if you want to check them out.

@JD that would be awesome! Thank you so much! I often find myself getting Kindle books because they are far more affordable for me than physical copies. . . I will check out the list! Also, if you want to do a daily or just whenever you come across good deals, I will create a thread on this group where you can drop the links! Thank you for being willing to do that. 😀

@Victoria That sounds good to me! I'll do my best to post every day.

That would be fantastic JD! I am always on the hunt for kindle deals, but rarely find anything worth the trouble. So that would be awesome!

Cool! No problem!

I think I might leave the challenge. It's nothing personal, but I always read more productively when I'm making my own plan, and not going by genre or category. :)

No worries Raevyn! That's totally fine! :)

Back to personalities, I am a proud ISFJ. :) Online tests are only accurate if you're a textbook type. Real people don't fit into concrete boxes. So it's better to have an ameteur expert who knows you help type you...like Kendra! ;)

I always get INFP or ENFP. Without fail. But it's funny cause the I and the E always switch for me.... Guess I'm an ambivert.

Mary wrote: "Kendra wrote: "ENTP and INFJ are actually a compatible pairing - ie, most they're supposedly the best pairing for each other. I do know for certain that INFJ's are supposed to be the most extrovert..."

You're an ISJF too!?!?!? Why did I not know this! Makes sense though . . . I think I'm more extroverted than you, but otherwise, we're very similar. :)

INFP, here! And for the most part, I am a terribly textbook INFP, right down to the propensity for mis-typing at the get-go. Also, I've been a teacher, run the school art club, and am now the librarian/media specialist, which are all so very typical of an INFP.

Sharla wrote: "I always get INFP or ENFP. Without fail. But it's funny cause the I and the E always switch for me.... Guess I'm an ambivert."

I would lean towards ENFP in that case, as ENFP's tend to be ambiverts, while INFP's usually know that they're are solidly introverted.
