MHS, I bailed out

[Blink]

IF you're an ENTP, it would validate a hunch of mine that you might be as oblivious to what's going on in the inside as I am.

Both ENTP & ENFP have an "inferior function" known as Si - Introverted Sensing.

Inferior functions are part of your cognitive function stack, but are extremely underdeveloped. In the case of our underdeveloped Si, we have a hard time identifying what's going on inside our bodies. for instance, i could have a headache for a few hours before i realize i'm having a headache! i'm just not naturally in tune with what's going on with my senses.

I don't mean to try to speak FOR you when I say that you may also be experiencing this. But the knowledge of my inferior function (si) and how it holds me back sounds like it could also apply to you. That you're an ENTP, sharing the same inferior function, makes it doubly so.

Correct me if i'm wrong here

I can't relate to what you are talking. I usually feel what is going inside though I wouldn't say it's a perfect thing. If I eat too much I go right away to the toilet, the pain come really fast.
I used to be oblivious to my environment before doing subs but I was quiet aware of myself. I would be more naturally ultra sensitive to everything that affect my body, like the tinnitus reaction I got from sound, or like fainting after a little scratch


I may not be an ENTP then I would say I used to be INTP before subs.

The ENTP is the "nerd" right?

Anyway I don't feel like the MBTI is precise enough, I'm not convinced by any means. At best it's better than IQ rating or other stuff used in schools but far from the tools I use. Chaos seems to be very good at using MBTI but as far as I can see it's more due to his skill of detection than the MBTI itself, exactly like the guy I watched who taught the MBTI on youtube. At best the MBTI seems to help you know the different kind of personality that exist but the hardest work matching those personality with people is more up to you than the MBTI system. That's where it is biased the most in my opinion, other system on that are not perfect either but do a better job in my opinion. Most people don't know who they really are so asking them question doesn't seem to be the best thing to do.

Did you know the Introversion and Extraversion definition seems to match exactly the Yin Yang definition?
That's one of the reasons I think the MBTI is a copy cat of another system.
But it would be hard to tell others than they are more Yin than Yang, people would feel upset, because Yin is associated with female.
I think it would be particularly hard to for some people to feel that they are more intraverted than extraverted after knowing that.

Keep in mind that it tells you your preferred personality type, the one you exhibit most under normal circumstances, and it's not set in stone. There are currently 16 types identified in MBTI, and you exhibit the behavior of each one of them to some extent and different emotional states bring out different types in you. Think about how you behave when you're under stress compared to when you're feeling confident. They could well be totally different types.

It could be a copy of another system or it could not. That would not invalidate it. There are lots of examples where people explain the same exact thing in different ways. And that's probably because of the fact that people perceive and judge information in different ways, which is what MBTI is trying to explain. Hope that makes sense

Having said that, I'm no expert on this. The information I've got so far about it is what I've gathered from different internet pages. The topic is so fascinating to me though and I plan to read the original work on it very soon.
