I've always considered myself an introvert , yet I am an ENTP as it turns out . I don't really need people and enjoy my own company, however I don't avoid parties etc and don't stand in the corner so to speak and like to connect with people and have a good conversation , as long as they're smart haha . So , for me whatever happens - alone time or company time - I'm content and make the most out of both . Great video by the way , I really enjoy your content , thank you !
Interesting. I have maybe even overdeveloped Ti, I spend a lot of time thinking. I can't really do that among other people, they seem to jam my Ti. I always start to come up with most ideas when I leave social situations and have the time to listen to my inner voice. But I also like to just hang out and chill and talk with people, because it makes me more energized and moving, like you said. When I'm alone for too long, I start to get really sluggish...
Same for me as an ENFP, with my Fi. I have a really strong Fi and also a weirdly strong Ni. I don't particularly like being around most people because I'd rather be researching my own interests, feelings and ideas, and experiencing life in my own way. I'm an empath and I get really tired and overwhelmed by too much sensory stimulation or too many people. I don't have great social skills, not terrible but not great, particularly if my Fi is out of balance at all. I prefer being around like-minded people I can talk to about our shared interests or emotional experiences (Fi). I do much better in situations that involve an organized group activity like a workshop, class or retreat. However, I'm so sensitive and have strongly felt intuitive sense of the people around me...if I really don't like someone it can really throw me off and I'll likely not want to be in that environment anymore. -_- I thought I was an INFJ for a long time because of how open I am to feeling everything. I also get my inspiration more in solitude, but I get a lot of energy and motivation from satisfying social interactions. If I'm alone too long I just stop caring (like, most of my recent life...amazing to find out I'm an ENFP and actually an extrovert, now I know what was wrong). I also have always interacted with people a lot through the internet, probably more than in real life a lot of the time. I like having youtube videos playing all the time even if I'm doing something around the house, to sort of feel like someone is there, but not have to deal with anyone actually. lol It's hard for me to find people I can truly connect with. I don't know if it's the same for ENTPs, but my dad is one, and I think he likes being around people who are mentally stimulating. I can imagine him getting bored or annoyed with a lot of people if they can't keep up with him. Fortunately for him he had a long career where he met many interesting friends. I'm more of a loner and I never fit into any group, I don't really feel part of society at all, which is hard as an extrovert.
My experience as an ENFP has been that I'm extremely extroverted when in the presence of others but I don't crave being around others unless there's a reason for it in my mind. I enjoy spending time alone as long as I have something fulfilling to do & could easily spend an entire weekend in my home w 0 outside interaction. But when I'm out with people I can't sit quietly & do nothing and must be engaged. I was much more extraverted in my teens to early 20s but now at 28 I'm matured to being more comfortable alone. As long as I have something fulfilling to do I'm happy either way. It's the enfp style lol
ENTP here. Loves to party with few close friends in my house the way I want. Mostly gets drunk and talk about bikes, art, women and all while appreciating metal music.
Hey, ENTP here. I enjoyed your video and could relate in a lot of ways. The stress coping mechanism of shutting off your mind when it becomes overwhelmed is spot on. I wanted to ask you what you think is the best way to keep moving forward, when you don't know what it is you want to move towards? I'm facing a period in my life of uncertainty as far as my life's direction is concerned and it is causing me to become very stressed out.
Hope things are working out for you right now... I've been in the same boat for several times, to the point that I wouldn't mind not waking up just to not have to decide anything anymore. I feel exhausted by my train of thought during those times. Now, I can assure I would never take steps in such drastic direction, it's just the intense feeling that keeps coming back.
Thank you...today I finally typed myself correctly after mistyping as an INFP for years and never really bothering to look into it further. I am absolutely an ENFP and am so thankful for more knowledge!
which is why we identify as ambiverts. something i read once was helpful to me when i was questioning my own z-troversion (well, i can't call it x-troversion, that's too easily misunderstood, lol) : an enfp often questions whether or not she might be an introvert. an infp KNOWS she is an introvert. (or he.)
A problem is that extroversion is always thought of in social terms. But being receptive to the outside world is not limited to just social situations. IMO social extroversion scale most to least Fe Te Se Ne, with a big gulf between Te and Se. In other words, judging extroversion is much more "extroverted" than perceiving.
I am ENFP, and for the longest time i thought that i was both extroverted and introverted, the mythical "ambivert". I was always an independent person, who did his own thing
This is helping me come to terms with being ENFP when I was so sure I was an INFJ (yeah yeah I know, like the rest of the world). I feel VERY introverted but do feel energized AFTER a good conversation with someone. Edit: thought I was ENTP when I posted this; turns out I'm ENFP
Hm. According to my cognitive functions I'm definitely an ENTP but I always felt like an introvert. I guess that's just Ne being Ne and the fact that my Ti is very strongly developed
I’m confused! I always read that ENFPs thrive on contact with people, are energized by surrounding themselves with people, that they can’t stand to be alone! Whereas it’s INFPs who are drained by too much contact with people. Hmm! I’m going to listen to the video again. Years ago, I took the MBTI at the suggestion of my counselor. It turned out that whether I’m an “I” or an “E” Is inconclusive. I’m on the border between the two. Very interesting video! Thank you...
The first time I did the test I was intp, years later I did it again (yesterday) and turns out I am entp, but I'm not very extrovert so I was looking for a response lol
Yeah like im extroverted in a meaningful way. Like i get really overwhelmed by large crowds and an overwhelming amount of cheap, commercial things. I seek whats hidden and abstract
ya i am a typical NE person ...entp....we are extroverts and we are freedom lovers, extremely independent, self sufficient and always trying to deny self and helping others with time, knowledge and support...and people think we are not so outdoorsy but we are super curious travelers & explorers ...except that our kind is called mental exploration. it gives us energy.
The « too much sensory input » as you call it is also a typical trait in people with Asperger’s. We call it « sensory overload » and we often shut down too when it gets too loud, bright or crowded. In fact I had to double-Check that I wasn’t listening to a video about Asperger’s. I’m an intuitive ENFP as well as a woman with Asperger’s and this really resonates with me! 😃 spot on.
This is important I think. I feel as if I'm not particularly good at being alone but allso easyl overwhelmed by to much sensory. I have a constant need to think together to get input of new ideas and feedback on my own. I want to be with a few people that ether wants to go a bit deeper in charing there storys or are happy to explore ideas together with me. In those situations I can bee very extroverted, energetic and enthusiastic. Unfortunately ther is a lot of how do you do's between those ocations. I find it a bit hard to need so much inspiration all the time in ordet to not get stuck in that numb zombie mod. In that way I'm actually really dependent on the extroverted world around me.
That's what I've been trying to figure out this past couple of months. How can I be an extrovert, If I would prefer to stay home and learn stuff and try it out for myself. It's the EN contradiction. Yep, that's it!
Isn't it also a bit that if I say I'm an introvert they want to be the same, because EP socially responsive is dominant over looking inside themselves?
Enfp, flava flav..😂🤣 Thanks Eric, I love to go out and have drinks at a club like twice a year. 🙃 I dance and drink all night, and it is very sensory, and that calms me. I typically search for deep thinkers, someone who can keep up with my brain!! 🤣😂 I feel so misunderstood, We do feel like aliens here. 👽 I find when I am excited, high on a bullet train of ideas, I get pushed away. I gather, but because I read others, I have to isolate and process hurts often. This is a gift, but also a burden. I see, and feel everything!!!!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!! 😁 thanks Eric!! 💜
Thomas Cintron Something that can make use of your creativity, logical thinking and problem solving. It needs to be something that is not repetitive. Web development and Graphic deaign is perfect for me to get the best out of those mentioned elements. Web dev and graphic design are evolving every year and there is always something new to discover. Projects are usually refreshing and can differ much from before since clients have different needs. This career path is also usually really chill. I am personally happy so far :) I also know another ENTP who is also happy doing web dev and graphic design.
I consider myself ENTP, and I finished business college in the past, now I study in biotech. I think its good to be in a field where theres constant development and improvement. It gets you to wonder about future possibilities, and the work from day to day is pretty diverse.
Moving forward rings true for me.But is this something you realized while theorizing or did you experience something that made you change your mind about the notion?
I read alot of articles about introversion and extroversion and neuroscience and came to the conclusion that introversion and extroversion was influenced by dopamine d2 warning receptors and stop signals in the brain that make us either feel A) In the need to proceed or B) In the need to reflect on mistakes before we move forward.

This makes a lot of sense. I've always felt like an extraverted introvert.
Same with me.
I'VE always felt like an introverted extravert.
@@jtwright4095 same
Impossibly accurate.
And that makes so much sense to us

dusty ytsud “as long as they’re smart”- so relatable
I like parties as long as Im with the right people doing something worthwhile and deeply satisfying

Ya, this, but ENTP
You literally summed up my whole life
So we're basically just 3/4 introverts.

same here man
Very True!!! We seek for meaningful stuff!!! Not boring small talks. We want to dig deeper and find out the real stuff.
I am an ENFP.. This has been very very insightful. Thank you Eric :)
Zoe Stephenson Something about that comment would have had me guess you were an ENFP if you didn't say it

hahaha i hear that quite often, I think it works 75% of the time.
Tributary K yes totally this
This describes a lot of my life and confirms my understanding of myself as ENTP.
Yes! I’m an ENTP 7w6. NeTi is the only function order that makes sense for me, but I definitely feel more like an introvert.
I know I am ENTP because of how much new new new I need in my life. I always need to keep learning.

Great analyze. Accurate
That was really helpful thx

Thomas Cintron For ENTP's, you could be successful at any job you wanted to but ones that fit your personality would be a lawyer or an actor

My ENTP father was very successful as a journalist and magazine editor. It think it's an ideal job for an ENTP.
Attorney takes a lot of discipline, you'll get bored before you get to the place you want.
Spot on.
