I hav...No kidding about the negative ESxx articles. I have very strong suspicions my oldest is a ESFP, and I haven't been too impressed with the articles I've found so far. I think Personality Hacker had some of the realistic and informative ones, but other than that, the best I can get is those funny MBTI lists like "With a Spork: ESFP draws a smiley face on it and names it Gary". Side note from personal observation: ESFP would use a pink marker that glitters, because it's more fun and pretty than a normal Sharpie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-70627703109581363862017-10-06T09:14:59.123-07:002017-10-06T09:14:59.123-07:00S: Yes, as you know i feel the same about conversa...S: Yes, as you know i feel the same about conversation. I can go for long periods without conversing too! <br />Yes they are very complex and you are right they are FUNCTIONS which most people do not think of nor do they realize we have the opposing secondary function. People think of these as just personality frou frou but it has its own science and it is about functioning...<br />Hey I do that when I am ill too! I had a very painful experience after a 6 root canal and filling and that night I just kept clinging to my husband and I am NEVER clingy or very cuddly but when I am in those S moments- I so am! And when I am sick I call my mother and text people I wouldnt normally text. It kind of sucks and must be confusing.<br />Yes there is so much to being YOU! So many layers. Excellent points.<br />I agree with doing that more as we age. I do that too.<br />Love these thoughts!<br /><br />Ashe: YES!!!! Exactly- it is about the way you process! it is a FUNCTIOn which most do not get. It really does shed light on the complex process. <br />Lol I am also the life of the party if it is geeky nerdy interests! And I can also go to a grumpy hermit for weeks.<br />OHHHHHHH agreed! I freaking HATE facebook. Tried it twice and quit it twice. Too frou frou and annoying. Yes def obvious reasons!!! LOL this made me laugh. So true. I am the Pinterest person. And I SO FEEL That about comments on PIns. I get panicky. LOL- I HATE it. and yes to the thought provoking. <br />Yes that is true...I have found it tougher to find articles on my dear ENFJ and my ENFP though there are more than ES types...I feel the worst for Extroverted S's as most of the literature on the net is nill or negative...<br />Great thoughts!

I kinda wish the functions had been better explained to me from the start since that really sheds some light on the whole confusing "I'm an introvert who likes people" or "I'm an extravert that doesn't like people". I generally prefer to recluse away, but if irrelevant trivia and random data or puzzles come up, I'm the life of the party! I get so geared around geeky nerdy stuff like that people tend to forget I'm actually a grumpy little hermit who could go three weeks without human contact and then want another six weeks alone.<br /><br />I think a lot of pockets of the internet are ruled by introverts, but socially lifey things (super scientific technical terms) like Facebook and baby tips/networking sites are dominated by extraverts, for obvious reasons. There are people there and people persons are attracted to peoples. Us introverts are grooming our inner crazy cat ladies and hide in the shadows of Pinterest's kitty galleries and praying nobody comments on our pins so we don't have to interact, unless it's something thought-provoking, and then they wish they hadn't commented because we'll rattle their ears off. :P<br /><br />But that also leads to a stark desert of articles on extraverts. I can find scores and scores of articles on my type, INTJ, but heaven forbid I find anything helpful on any extraverts I want to research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-140142225025738852017-10-04T11:22:13.040-07:002017-10-04T11:22:13.040-07:00I agree with you here. As an INFP, I am seen as an...I agree with you here. As an INFP, I am seen as an extremely extroverted person as I immediately connect with people ( even strangers) and can talk and engage for hours with any number of people. But that is not my preference. And there is also a side to me where I have realized that if the topics of conversation is "S" type I do not enjoy such communication, but somehow go along. I really enjoy discussing ideas and abstract or intuitive topics or topics on idealism/humanity rather than what humans do on a daily basis. I do not like to discuss work or any activities ( be it cooking,cleaning,food, going to market, watching t.v. who is buying what or visiting whom ). I like discussing ( or reading/watching/writing ) ideas, knowledge, book, philosophy, humanity, human motives/psychology, art, nature, etc.etc. At home, with my parents, I do not even feel the need to talk or have any kind of conversation. I keep mostly silent. So, I guess, I am a human chameleon or something. But again, I think that I prefer silence and I do not crave for human company too much...I mean I can keep silent for months if there was such a test or a game that tests our endurance capacity ( of not craving human company ). <br />So, Introversion or extroversion is quite a complex process. But look at the dominant functions. For introverts, Introversion is the dominant function ( be it introverted feeling or thinking or sensing ), extroversion is our secondary function ( be if feeling or thinking ). The dominant function is the most important and preferred function for any types. Secondary functions comes much later. With our secondary function, we can be what we are predominantly not . So, an extrovert can be an introvert ( partly/ sometimes) with his secondary function and vice versa. The secondary function balances( or contradicts ) the dominant function. Also, don't forget that under stress, our inferior functions becomes dominant ( I have read somewhere). So, when I become sick or fall extremely ill, I crave human company or some people around me and then I like to talk a lot too ! In normal times, I am not like that. <br />Also I agree that having aspergers or sensory processing disorder or being highly sensitive, etc. has a role to play apart from personality types. Maybe introversion becomes more prominent/extreme with aspergers. Or maybe extroversion becomes limited ( even if it is a secondary function of an introvert or even if an introvert is capable of certain extroverted behaviour) with aspergers. I am not sure but maybe. <br />Both me and my husband are introverts (" I" ) and also "N" ( earlier, my husband was mistyped as "S" )and that is something that has saved a lot of unnecessary discussions or decisions as we both prefer to be quiet and alone, most of the times. <br />But we both live in a "ESTJ /ISTJ" dominated society/family ( specially, most of his relatives and few of my relatives too) and you can guess the horror we have to face in family get togethers !! But as we are ageing now, and live far away from our extended families, we mostly play the role of a spectator when we are there and we also feel amused and sometimes inspired by their activities :) THe only thing that is missing/lacking/ much left to be desired is the conversation. The conversation and communication is dominated by their "S" type topics and activities. <br />Also, as we age , we learn how to protect our personalities/identities and desires and how to just get along in spite of major differences. For example, my brother and I have completely (well, nearly ) opposite personality types yet we are extremely cordial to each other and avoid " conflicting topics" because all these years we have realized that certain things don't match and won't match at all, so no point in discussing. I wish my relationship with other opposing personalities was like that too, but unfortunately it is not and I just tend to get along /get going even if I do not like something.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363854783134050594noreply@blogger.com
