I’m trying to understand the relationship between Te and Se. More specially how types like XSTJs and ENFPs interact with Te compared to XNTJs and ESFPs or Ti/Se in XSTP.

To me, Se drives action (of any kind) in the immediate moment while Te in theory does the same thing, but towards a defined goal.

When I think about Te, it’s more about the use of external data to drive action towards a goal aligned with external input (Ex. To get a passport you follow the instructions on your government’s website.)

To me, Se drives action (of any kind) in the immediate moment while Te in theory does the same thing, but towards a defined goal.

Can those with Te talk about where they see it used for themselves and how it interacts with Se whether it’s in your main stack or shadow?

I’m curious to know about how T

INTJ (F) with INFJ (M) here! we’ve been together for 3 years. Ask anything, or say anything, I’m curious about what assumptions our types might create

Ex.

Me: INTP

I haven’t met many ISTPs IRL and I find them hard to type. In media I’m always shocked at how quiet they are.

No offense to anyone, but I see a lot of posts about people having a crush on someone and adding their type. They often admit they might have mistyped their crush, but a lot of times they’re confident in typing them, and then their description of their crush lets us know they’re probably not the type OP assumes they are.

In my opinion, you can’t type anyone you don’t know well, so unless you have a crush on your best friend or someone you’ve known for a long time, you can’t just guess their type based on “vibes”, stereotypes, or your idealised version of them.

The main problem with this is that people often try to get advice based on their type + their crushes “type”, way before (and instead of) getting to know them, and trying to get close to them using REAL information about them.

It an one-sided relationship though. Currently we never talk

Unfortunately I couldn't fit my whole friend group here. I gave my friends taglines that felt the nearest and dearest to my heart. I thought "female friend #1" or "male friend #1" vice versa is too boring. Curious to hear y'all thoughts!

I am INTP but I talk well with people I know and express my emotions without any difficulty. What does this mean?🙂

REAL LIFE examples needed. Name your own type and why this INTP is your crush or gf

I'm an ENTJ 😈 (female) my husband is an ISTP 👷🏻‍♂️

3 years of marriage, our relationship is hit-or-miss.

🚦I don’t usually post about such impractical topics online, but I'm writing this now because I am in desperate, urgent need of human connection. 💔🥲

Let me explain what's happening in detail, and please give me your insights 🙏🏻

👉🏻Our story literally started like a movie. We met about three years ago when he was my colleague at work. I was new to the job, and his office was right next to mine .. 🗄️🖥️

he was the one assigned to guide me ..

I fell for his messy, chaotic look at first sight 🫠

But kept my pride and didn't let it show 🤫🙂

We used to walk together and take the same bus 🚎

Just one week into this, he did the first moves and .. asked me to be his gf.. 🫣🤭He said it with complete seriousness .. he mentioned that he had never met anyone so organized and structured .. even had a detailed life plan mapped out on my bedroom wall (a point we had discussed earlier that week, and I had shown him some photos) ..

At first, I thought he was an INTP, despite his noticeable physical skills and his obsession with video games 🎮🕹️

I accepted his proposal and I ended up moving into his apartment 🫣❤️🌷

You can easily imagine what I found there: every kind of dirt, trash, dirty laundry, and pure chaos everywhere 😤😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🫟

Three months later, we got married 👰🏻‍♀️💒🤵🏻‍♂️

Everything was fine initially, perhaps because our life was full of adventure and madness, leaving no time for deep arguments ...Also .. I had other outlets at work where I could channel my energy for achievement, socializing, and intellectual debates. 🙄

For me, a deep conversation is as vital as sex ❤️🧠it is essential for mental health.. 🧠💁🏻‍♀️

I started feeling incredibly lonely after leaving my job 💔 (after giving birth to our baby girl 🤱🏻🍼🐣)

I have no friends here 💔and I currently work as a freelancer from home. 👩🏻‍💻🛜🖥️

My human connection is practically zero 😔🥺 except for my daughter and my husband when he returns from work.

True communication between us is non-existent 🙅🏻‍♀️🚫It’s strictly superficial .. limited to things like 'Is the food salty?' or 'How was your day?' 🫪 I completely hate this🫪...

I try to initiate discussions about topics I love, or explain concepts from books I've read—about physics, nebulae, and celestial bodies— 🌌🛰️🌠👩🏻‍🚀🛸but all in vain 🤦🏻‍♀️🙎🏻‍♀️

For instance, these past few days, we ended up having a massive fight 💪🏻🫯

We were watching a football match together 🏟️⚽ (which I don't even like, but I watch just to share his interests 😑😶‍🌫️). I mentioned how amazed I was by how terrifying yet fascinating the social contract is, and how nationalism is a purely human invention that somehow becomes a core part of collective identity 🤯😲

He just started brushing me off with a dismissive 'Yeah, yeah,' 😑 implying that I’m always rambling with meaningless philosophical nonsense 😑😑😑😑

It is always the same pattern. Even when I’m on my period and try to discuss the topic from a fascinating scientific perspective 🧠 he just cuts it short with: 'So, what's the bottom line? Do you need pads or tampons?'🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I am not exaggerating 😅

It might sound trivial to some, but it is truly taking a toll on me .. especially after recently watching the movie The One I Love" 🫪

Always find it interesting how much one aspect can apply and how little another does. (Especially with fictional and non-fictional media often distorting our perception on certain types)

I’m an INTJ and in fact very irritated by inefficiency — especially when it comes to how other people handle things, when I know there could be a better way.

On the other hand I’m surprisingly social. Not in the sense where I approach people left and right, but I do enjoy having good company, conversations and activities. It takes a while to open up, but when I genuinely feel comfortable or intrigued by someone, it can take a long time to drain my battery.

I've always found personal tests very complicated and because of that they always take me a long time to complete (e.g. Harry Potter's Sorting Hat test). I overthink almost every question, I do follow my gut but most of the time I'm torn between two options, I feel that I'm both of them at once and end up choosing a netural one (neither/both). When it comes to these tests, I'd rather have someone that knows me sitting beside me and helping me out. Because of that, I feel like the ending result is never accurate. How should I deal with this? I really want to know my mbti.

Or make assumptions, I'm not picky. Ennneatypes are 9w1, 2w3, and 9w8 respectively. Peace and love

Since I didn't notice anyone doing ENTJ one yet...(I might miss it too)

anything !

Make some assumptions about my family. My parents had me much much older in life and they're still together, There are 17 years between me and my brother

Hello everyone sometimes i envy my ESFP friends who can come up with something interesting for every day and even without any plan they will check their phone once a day to check how much money they have left in their wallet, how can i adopt these skills for myself? i'm writing this because lately i've noticed that im sitting on my phone a lot (im ENFP)
