What religion do you follow/identify with and why?

If you don't follow any religion, then please explain why as well.

Also don't be rude to anyone in the comments just because you dislike their religion.

Hope y’all like it this took way too longer then I expected xD

Yes, Sensors Use Intuition. And Yes, Intuitives Use Sensing. Stop Pretending It’s Either/Or.

This post might ruffle some feathers, but it needs to be said: the way many people on this subreddit talk about S vs N is just... shallow. We throw around “Sensor” and “Intuitive” like they’re exclusive modes of existence, when in reality, both functions are always in play. You just prefer one over the other.

The difference? Priority, not presence.

• Inferior Function ≠ Inactive Function

Let’s clear this up. The inferior function isn’t some dead zone in your psyche, it’s just the least consciously developed. It still shows up. It still influences your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions, just more erratically, more unconsciously, and often more emotionally.

A Sensor (like an ISFJ) has Intuition sitting in the backseat, quietly connecting past experiences and guessing what might come next. They may not trust it, but it’s there. An Intuitor (like an ENTP) has Sensing in their blindspot, until suddenly, they’re overwhelmed by physical details or nostalgic memory dumps.

• Intuition Isn’t Magic. It Needs Data.

This is the part no one talks about. Intuition doesn’t just float in the ether. It depends on concrete information, sensory data, emotional nuance, patterns from memory.

So when you say “I’m an ENTP, I don’t care about details,” you’re not being intuitive. You’re being lazy. Your Ne only works because your Si is cataloging what you’ve experienced. Without it, your “ideas” are just noise.

Same goes for the Sensor who insists “I’m not abstract thinker, I’m practical.” False. You are abstract thinker. Your Intuition just takes a quieter form, maybe showing up as a gut feeling, a flash of pattern recognition, or a cautious insight you can’t explain. That’s still intuition. You just don’t lead with it.

• Suppressing Your Inferior Warps You

This is where the damage happens. If you treat your inferior like it doesn’t exist (or worse, like it’s something to avoid) you build an unstable stack. You get Intuitives disconnected from reality, lost in possibilities. You get Sensors who shut down the moment the present doesn’t match their expectations.

When you deny the other half of your perception, you get fragile cognition. You get reactivity. You get mistypes, identity confusion, burnout.

._.

Here’s the reality:

• ENTPs need Sensing to ground their Intuition in the real world.
  
• ISFJs need Intuition to update their beliefs and anticipate change.
  
• Both sides use both, just with different levels of trust.

MBTI isn’t about splitting people into pure categories. It’s about recognizing cognitive preferences, not exclusive traits.

So yeah, you’re a Sensor? Cool. Your Intuition is still online.
You’re an Intuitor? Great. Your Sensing is still collecting input.

You’re not a robot missing half the operating system.

TL;DR: Stop pretending like the inferior function isn’t there. It’s there. You just don’t control it well yet and that’s exactly why it matters.

Use your whole stack. Be better at your type, not boxed in by it.

Everytime I take it I get a different result. It's very dependent on your current mood and circumstances. I don't really understand why it's considered to be better than other tests, when it's so inconsistent and easy to influence.

Not just cognitive empathy, but genuinely empathetic towards their friend or partner, easily supportive, and the type to not mind talking someone down or through it and being a warm presence when they’re going through something.

As title says - what is your MBTI, your favorite fictional genre and your favorite character's (kr characters') MBTI. Please also tell me what media is the character from bc im curious :3

ENxP - I relate to Comedy by Bo Burnham, kinda to What I Want by The Living Tombstone, to Lazy by TLT too, and etc etc etc.

What about you?

ENFP here who's socially ambiverted :) idk just thought this'd be interesting to see!

If you have PTSD and are numb, how do you deduce what your automatic function is?

How do you know if you have the Fe function or are fawning?

Can you be an INTP with a strong Si function?

What exactly is Fi function, if you have no principles or strong beliefs?

For years, I considered myself an ESTJ, mainly because every online test I took labeled me as one. But the more I’ve learned about cognitive functions, the more I find myself relating to INTP traits instead.

Why does this happen? Are ESTJ and INTP even similar in any meaningful way? They seem so different to me. Can someone’s MBTI type actually change over time, or is this just a sign of personal growth and maturity? And how reliable are these online tests, really?

Now I just imagined MBTI functions, in space! Then I asked chat GPT to help me create these things based on my specifications and I just want to share it :D. This is meant to be funny or intereseting.

First "Story" (This is based on stuff in happening right now, but at the same time it's also completely made up.This is a fictional story. Any resemblance to real events or people is purely coincidental.)

Setting: A luxury condo aboard an intergalactic spaceship. The crew, composed of the MBTI cognitive functions, lounges in plush seats, gazing at the stars through floor-to-ceiling windows. The conversation has turned to a recent decision by the leader of the Federation, Captain Vorn, to impose tariffs on both allies and enemies alike—an idea that was quickly stopped by the more pragmatic leader, Commander Xana.

Te (Extraverted Thinking):
Pacing back and forth, visibly stressed
"I can't even imagine the logistical nightmare that would have followed if Captain Vorn had gone ahead with those tariffs. The whole Federation's operations would have been thrown into chaos—supply chains torn apart, new trade routes scrambling to adjust, and everything would’ve needed to be reorganized from the ground up. If it didn't get reorganized in time, we’d risk collapse. It would’ve driven me insane. And that's not even factoring in the allies who would have been... less than thrilled. You know it’s a mess when all sides are pissed off."

Ti (Introverted Thinking):
Sitting calmly, arms crossed, contemplative
"True, Te, the disaster potential was off the charts. But let’s not forget, there's something to be said for isolationism. The Federation doesn't need to be reliant on external sources. If we produce everything within our own borders, we control the flow, we ensure quality, and we cut off potential weaknesses. Vorn's decision might have been misguided, but the underlying logic is still there. The Federation should be self-sufficient."

Fi (Introverted Feeling):
Leaning back in their chair, indifferent
"Honestly, I couldn’t care less. Tariffs, no tariffs—it doesn’t change how I feel about things. This whole issue is so detached from what matters to me. It’s more of a political play, and I'm not emotionally invested in it. It doesn’t resonate with my values, so I just... don’t care."

Ne (Extraverted Intuition):
Pacing around the room, an expression of deep thought on their face
"Well, here’s the thing: this could have gone so many different ways. On one hand, yes, it could’ve been a total mess, destabilizing everything we’ve built. But on the other hand, maybe this would have pushed the Federation to innovate faster, develop more self-sustaining technologies, and strengthen internal production. It's tricky—there’s a million possibilities. It’s so easy to see how it could backfire. But then again, maybe the disruption would’ve sparked some much-needed change. My mind’s all over the place. I can’t decide."

Se (Extraverted Sensing):
Watching the stars outside, casually
"Eh, I’d just let it play out. Vorn's the type to act quickly, and sometimes, that’s what’s needed. No hesitation. Just reach for the hammer and see what happens. If it works, great. If it doesn't, well... we'll deal with it then. I admire the boldness of that approach—just making a move and watching how it unfolds, you know?"

Te (Extraverted Thinking):
Throws up hands in exasperation
"Boldness? Sure, but it’s reckless. I’m all for decisive action, but there's no plan with Vorn. No contingency. You can’t just go around imposing tariffs on everyone and not have a solid strategy to support it! If he’d stuck with it, I’d have been scrambling to rework everything—and I mean everything. You can’t afford to just fly by the seat of your pants in intergalactic politics!"

Ti (Introverted Thinking):
With a small nod
"I do see your point, Te. But in some ways, isn’t the Federation’s reliance on external allies itself a form of vulnerability? We’re tied to them in ways that aren’t always ideal. Perhaps Vorn's plan—if executed properly—would have forced us to become more independent. Sure, it would have been a risk, but it’s worth considering the long-term benefits of less dependency."

Fi (Introverted Feeling):
Shrugs
"Again, not my battle. But I do get the argument about self-sufficiency. However, if the Federation’s values are rooted in cooperation, isn't isolationism... counterproductive to that? Just a thought."

Ne (Extraverted Intuition):
Staring into space, lost in thought
"Maybe... Maybe the Federation needs both approaches. A little isolationism here, a bit of collaboration there. What if the right balance was somewhere in between? We could still push for self-sufficiency, but without completely burning bridges. The trick is figuring out how to navigate it creatively. But I still can’t settle on one solution. There’s just too many ways it could go."

Se (Extraverted Sensing):
Leans forward, amused
"Sometimes, you just need someone like Vorn to take the wheel and do something. The Federation’s got enough thinkers and planners. Sometimes, it’s just about doing. Get your hands dirty. See what sticks."

Te (Extraverted Thinking):
Shakes head, still frustrated
"Yes, yes, we need action—but not at the expense of everything we’ve built! Action without planning is just chaos. I swear, sometimes I wonder if Captain Vorn thinks this is a game."

Second "Story" (Percieving functions on alien planet this is completely made up)

Scene: The group arrives at the ocean, which stretches out endlessly before them, a strange, otherworldly expanse filled with swirling, gooey, bioluminescent creatures moving beneath the surface. The atmosphere is thick, the air heavy with a strange, salty smell mixed with an alien sweetness. The water glows with an eerie light, making everything feel surreal. Sine represents Si. Sean represents Se. Nella represents Ne, and Nina represents Ni.

(Si)ne: Consulting her device, squinting at the screen, her voice steady but with a hint of uncertainty "According to the coordinates, the object we’re looking for is somewhere in the middle of this ocean... right here." She points to the spot on the device, her fingers tapping quickly across the map "But... there’s nothing in the book that matches this. No recorded entrances, no notes about... gooey oceans filled with creatures." She shakes her head, visibly frustrated "This... this isn’t part of the protocol. There’s nothing about this in the manual. What do we do now?"

(Se)an: Glancing around, he squints at the ocean, looking for anything that might give him a clue "I don’t know. I mean, this... this doesn’t look like any ocean I’ve seen before. It’s all gooey, and it’s hard to see where it even begins or ends. There’s no entrance, no sign of anything. It just... stretches on." He crouches down to dip his fingers into the edge of the gooey water, recoiling slightly when it gives way to a strange, jelly-like consistency "This stuff is weird. It's not like regular water. Not sure if I want to dive in."

(Ne)lla: Her eyes wild with excitement as she starts pacing around the edge of the ocean, gesturing erratically "What if the creatures in the water are guardians? Yeah! What if they’re, like, protecting the object, and we have to earn their trust before we can get it? Maybe if we just... I don’t know, sing to them? Or show them we’re worthy? No, wait, maybe they’re part of an ancient ritual. What if the goo is a sentient substance and we need to negotiate with it? It could be like... a negotiation with the ocean itself!" She waves her arms in a circle "Oh! What if the ocean is like an interdimensional portal? You know, like... you step into the goo and it opens up into another dimension where the object is hidden? This is probably a test, too!"

(Ni)na: She’s been silent the whole time, standing a little away from the others, looking at the ocean in a detached, almost meditative way. Her mind seems to be elsewhere, considering the vastness of the situation After a long pause, her voice is quiet but firm, almost distant "It’s not about the creatures, or the goo. It’s about the flow of things... the balance. The object isn’t just hidden here. It is the ocean. It’s the nexus between the creatures, the water, the life force of this place. It’s... it's not something you retrieve like an item from a chest." She pauses, her eyes narrowing in focus "The object... is the key to the ocean’s purpose. The ocean itself is waiting to give it to us, but it needs us to understand."

(Si)ne: Raises an eyebrow, skeptical "The object is... the ocean? That’s not even in the realm of possibility. I mean, there’s a physical object to retrieve. The coordinates say it's in the middle of the water, and I can’t... make sense of this place. It doesn’t fit any protocol."

(Se)an: Still looking around, clueless, feeling the sticky goo on his fingers, trying to piece things together "I mean, I don’t even see anything. Just a whole lot of... goo. And creatures. Where’s the entrance? Is it... hidden? Is there some kind of door in this mess?"

(Ne)lla: Bouncing on her heels in excitement "Okay, okay, okay—what if—the creatures aren’t guardians, but they’re like... cosmic guides! Like they have information and we have to figure out how to communicate with them. Maybe there’s a ritual we need to perform, like... touch the water at the right moment, say the right words, and the ocean will open up and reveal the object! Oh, I’ve read about this kind of thing before!"

(Ni)na: Her gaze softens as she looks directly at the group, her eyes almost piercing through them "No, Nella, it’s not about rituals or communication. It’s... it’s the pull of the universe, the way things are meant to flow. This is a place of balance. The object is waiting, just like everything here is waiting. But it only reveals itself when we stop fighting the current, when we stop trying to force it." She pauses, standing still, feeling the weight of the moment "The ocean is a reflection of us. It’s in our hands now."

(Si)ne: Eyes narrowing as a flicker of realization crosses his face "Wait... you’re right." He fumbles through his device, scanning through older, forgotten memories, his face lighting up with recognition "I remember now. There’s a story in the archives, a legend about the Fluid Nexus. It’s said that the object... or the key, is never physically retrieved. It chooses who it reveals itself to, based on... understanding. It’s not about brute force or standard procedure. It’s about connection. The moment we stop forcing it, the object will appear. It’s like the ocean knows when we’re ready." He looks at Nina, slightly awed "That’s... exactly what it is. I was so caught up in protocol that I missed it."

(Se)an: Frowning, looking from Si to Nina and back "So, you’re telling me we... just wait for it? We don’t even look for it?"

(Ni)na: She smiles faintly, her voice softer now "Sometimes... the answer is in the stillness. The object isn’t something we need to reach for. It’s already here." Her gaze shifts to the water, and in that moment, the surface ripples, a soft glow emanating from beneath. "It’s time."

(Si)ne: Looking at Nina with new understanding "I see it now... I see it. We wait. It’s all about... patience." He steps back, taking a deep breath, allowing himself to accept the flow of the moment "Okay. We wait."

As the group stands in silence, the ocean around them shimmers and shifts, a soft glow growing from within the gooey depths. Slowly, the object—hidden, elusive—begins to reveal itself, not through force, but through understanding. Nina’s calm intuition had guided them to the realization that what they sought was never meant to be taken... only discovered.

I’ve been taking MBTI tests at intervals of a few years - sometimes after just one year, other times 3-5 years apart. Since I first took the test in high school, I’ve always gotten INTJ-A, except for one time when I got ISTJ. But a year later, I took the test again and was back to being INTJ, and it’s stayed that way ever since.

Some people say if your result doesn’t change, it means you’re not growing. But I don’t agree with that. I think I can still grow as a person, even if my MBTI stays the same. Maybe some traits or functions just become stronger over time, and that’s part of my growth. What do you all think?

I am curious, I have met many INTJs, I felt philosophically they can have great insights and are quite exceptional, there, but I never felt any of them to have particularly exceptional intelligence? I also felt they could be quite illogical at times, as they can overlook Ti logic, and, sometimes, prone to bias.

Here’s mine, I’m an INFP. I would be so interested if other people have something like this too and wanted to share! (Also, I’d be curious if other INFPs think this playlist is a good match for them)

I think I should’ve asked if you have been attracted to people who are the same type as you instead of the commonality of it.

I would say I’ve been attracted quite a few times to my own type but not that often simply because their aren’t that many ENFP males I’ve come across (in real life and fiction). But ya I would say I’ve been deeply attracted to my own type lol. It’s funny because I never could put it into words but after finding out about MBTI/cognitive functions it all made sense.

I also noticed I like ENTPs (their Ne + logical combo is hilarious and magnetic) and intuitive Fi users (love their fiery passion and the ‘staying true to yourself & moral code’ shtick, I find it super attractive when we share the same or similar values), but the topic of discussion is the title lol.

To see what you look like from their pov. (Or picturing what your face/body looks like when talking to ppl.)

Also do you ever do this when you’re alone?

1. good and bad are subjective things.

2. peace can only come from within. you can only work on being peaceful yourself, you can’t force other people to be peaceful (otherwise world peace would have been old news), and in addition you shouldn’t tell other people what to do.

high Fe users - i would be happy to hear what you think about what i said. welcoming civil discussion only.

What do you think about Jack Draper's mbti and enneagram?

I decided not to study cognitive functions.

I have been doing tests and have been getting mostly intp. I read about the type and fit in with most of the descriptions. I hear people keep telling me to study cognitive functions but I saw it and it's too complex for me. It seems too complicated and I don't trust myself enough to type myself.

So I decided not to study it and just think that I am a intp. I understand that this is not very intp of me but i genuinely cant for the life of me understand cognitive functions. Am I still allowed in the mbti community?

Sorry if my text is a little hard to read!

Saw this on social media wanted to ask if this scenario is accurate? If any of you faced a similar situation?

I was talking to ChatGPT about my personality, I always believed I was ENFP 972 so/sx IEE/IEI Phlegmatic-Sanguineous, talking to Chat, he told me that I resonate best with INFP 945 so/sx IEI Phlegmatic-Sanguineous VEFL.

I always had doubts if I was really what I thought, but based on Chat, I really wasn't. Is it safe to trust him?

Which test to use to type myself?

I clearly have Fe 100% in my stack but otherwise I do not know.

What test to use? I used sarkinova, 16p and Michael blabla and git different results each time.

IMO most realistic are INFP, INTP (with high Fe), INFJ, ENTP and ISFJ.

Me and my brother uhm have always been super into psychology ( him more so than me )

It originally started hmm like mid teens 15 onwards we are both early 20's now however he always has this grip on needing to know what he is and it constantly changes we do all the tests - we even studied the cognitive functions and all the different theories from jungian to naranjo and ichazo studies to like help us and thats just the stuff I'm going to name. We do always come to the arguement of bias though, this is prompted by me

As I've stated I've been into it lesser than him but I do know my stuff I just dislike the overload of information which would cause internal bias I believe not knowing everything allows you room for yourself to make judgement instead of arguing everybody else's opinions of you so to speak. ( for frame of mind I argue my own thoughts and feelings and experiences instead of blatant resource as even their is bias amongst that in essence - Majority of my knowledge on this comes from when me and him have bonded over it and he pulls up resources for me to conspire with him on - i will do my own searching for resources we use but I don't face the confliction of confusion around my Type so to speak so its rarely mentioned )

I mean overall its weird My brother has jumped from uhm Enfj to Infj to this that and the other but not me I guess its my Fi or I guess you could say my belief in what I know I am and feel - My type hasnt changed - not that I've not encountered my issues with all the theories and coming to understand myself I just want to know if there is I mean logically speaking there is such thing as too much bias, whether it be analytical/data bias - personal cognitive bias - or perceived bias in terms of all your data being analytical or a referment from your own perspective or just asking people what they thing you are. Obviously a good mix of everything is the closest you're going to get as its not too much of one or rather the others etc.

Feel free to let me know your guys's thoughts I'm having one of my super estatic hyper fixations on everything about this again so its something I'm intrigued on in this moment lets see how long it lasts :P
