#mbti personalities
I made this months ago.
Taking a closer look to the opposite MBTI personalities with Ace Attorney characters!
the fact that some people actually believe ENTP’s are selfish, manipulative, rude and don’t care about other’s feelings often makes me feel unlovable.
whenever I start liking someone (who are mostly feeler types), I begin to feel insecure, “maybe I am a real horrible human being but I just don’t see it”
like I get mbti is just a test I took for fun, and I totally get I am just overthinking but I just wanted to share my thoughts about those moments of weakness
The worst part about MBTI is feeling down, and starting to think that perhaps your type’s flaws are your flaws. But trying to prescribe something as complex as personality will always have its flaws.
Remember: you are always more than your MBTI type. Sometimes MBTI is wrong. Thinkers can be emotional, feelers can think logically, sensors can have ideas, intuitives can undertake actions, introverts can be social, extroverts can be alone, percievers can be productive and judgers can get distracted.
Just because your type is stereotyped as one way, that does not mean that you are that way. Trying to boil down a person to 4 letters is wrong.
Someone was complaining about the lack of sensor memes. Should I tell them to start a sensor memes tumblr blog?

A while ago I found a chart that lists mistypes.
As can be seen in the chart, ISTJs very often mistype as INTjs. A lot of folks over on reddit’s r/INTJ chided people over being mistyped ISTJs.
I started reading about enneagram yesterday, and I think that enneagram may help explain why this happens so often.
Ennegram sorts people into 9 enneagram types, called 1, 2, 3, and so on. Each enneagram type resembles another type when growing and when under stress.
According to thought catalog, the most common enneagram for ISTJs is enneagram 1 at 37.5%.
Some quotes from the enneagram site on enneagram 1s:
Ones are conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders, and advocates for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid of making a mistake. Well-organized, orderly, and fastidious, they try to maintain high standards, but can slip into being critical and perfectionistic.
INTJs often think of themselves as perfectionistic and willing to point out the flaws in systems. They are also known for the significance they put on their moral standards. This may make type 1 ISTJs think they are in fact INTJ.
Ones often persuade themselves that they are “head” types, rationalists who proceed only on logic and objective truth.
INTJs have a reputation of being heavily logical types, providing another opportunity for mistypes.
Ones have a “sense of mission” that leads them to want to improve the world in various ways, using whatever degree of influence they have.
ISTJs are stereotyped as people who want to preserve the status quo, as the quintessential conservative. 16 personalities, the most popular mbti site, calls ISTJs “conservative” and “by the books.” However, if you look to the enneagram, many type 1s seek to improve the world and are dissatisfied with the status quo, causing them to avoid the ISTJ label and instead think of themselves as INTJ.
*For the record, the whole stereotype of ISTJ being conservative is untrue, and especially so for political conservatism.
There is also the issue of enneagram stress.
If you look to the chart below that I stole from the enneagram site, we can see that 1s tend to act like 4s when under stress.
If we look at the description of enneagram type 4s, we can see the following:
Fours feel that they are unlike other human beings.
While enneagram 1s are under stress, they start to feel like they are unique. And in MBTI, when someone talks about being unique, it’s often the INFJ or INTJ types, the two most rare MBTI types at 1.5% and 2.1% respectively.
It is possible that many ISTJ type 1s who are under stress feel like 4s, and thus think that MBTI explains why they feel so different. Indeed, how can an ISTJ, being the most common type at 11.6% of the population, feel like no one understands them? They determine that their feelings of alienation make it impossible for them to be ISTJ and thus the type 1 ISTJ mistype as INTJ.

However, this is just an idea. Not every INTJ is a mistyped ISTJ. As always, cognitive function typing is the way to go. If you’re confused between ISTJ and INTj, read this article.
Every time someone brings up how there are so many intuitives in mbti, someone else inevitably says that sensors actually have a life
I feel robbed
Everybody on tumblr offers analysis of functions and tritypes and enneagram wings and so/six doms, and I’m here like:
Can I offer you a meme in this trying time?
“I think so I’m real.” -day cart or something probably
Other tumblr blogs: use drafts as a way to save posts that they will refine so that they can publish higher quality material
Me, an intellectual: uses blogs to store stuff that I want to post but am too lazy to tag all 16 types

Whenever someone points out my quietness, my heart just drops right onto the floor.
For the longest time, I thought that I was INTJ because I wasn’t a conservative. Pro tip: politics, no matter how much you are into them, are not a good indicator of mbti type

ISTJ when first meeting a person/particular social situations: Composed, educated, rigid, ambitious and admirable. When you speak to an ISTJ, they seem the perfect person who accomplishes his goals in life. They are in any case well disposed to have a chat if it is necessary and carry it forward with maximum education, also seeming fine and “elegant”. Low-key and unconsciously judging everyone and everything.
ISTJ with family/friends:
“I HAVE NO TIME, A FUCKIN CREEPER IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, also bring me some chips please”
“Come here, let me hug you, I didn’t do it once in 17 hours”
“Next step: conquer the world of the fantasy talking about assassins I just read.”
*Everyone enjoying relax time in the house until… * “ZA WARUDOOOOO”
May I say that ISTJs are underrated? Yes they are.
INFP: I wanna move out about at my 2nd semester. Just telling you because if you do too, I would want you to think of me as your future roommate.
INFJ: Sure. I couldn’t live with strangers anyway! I need a lot of personal space, you know that.
INFP: YES! Me too! We should start the Ultimative Introverte Unien! We’d be maybe about three people living alone together!
When I asked you ‘How you are doing’, I want a detailed anwser, so I can discuss it with you piece by piece for your own good.
The fanfic tropes I choose to read are telling more about me than any personality test or horoscope could.
ENTP: “Ladies and gentlemen” is unnecessarily gendered, overly formal, lengthy, and honestly I’m falling asleep already.
ENTP: “Cowards,” on the other hand, is inclusive to all genders, casual and fun, short and to the point, exciting, and dramatic.
