Am I INFj or ENFP? (Video typing)

[audreyhope]

I've been typed as INFj on SOCIONICS but I've also been typed ENFP before but that was on 16p.

It was recommended that I post a video to help with typing. I recently started a YouTube channel so I thought that would actually help with typing.
Let me know what you guys think

Also, feel free to add/subscribe me, I need some online friends Would appreciate the support. Thanks to anyone who has input. My videos make me feel more like ENFP-ish when I make them.

Merci beaucoup!

p.s.
I feel that it is possible I could be an ISFj

Thanks!

Hi, audreyhope.

I see an introvert with high Si. You seem to have lots of Fe and your decor is Alpha. You seek Ti information. I'd say that you are an SEI.

SEIs are the boss of their Duality, even though they are introverts, and they are Caregivers, so they can seem to be both "in control" and extroverted, but they are introverts.

Welcome to the forum.

[Tallmo]

Maybe ESE

[Ikite iru]

your dog reminds me of the one in the game Ghost Trick. anyway, I think you are an IEI, which corresponds to INFJ in MBTI

[Kurt Gabin]

+1 for SEI

[BrainlessSquid]

Not INFj

[qaz00]

C-SEI-Fe

I just looked up the dog - that is so cute haha

So interesting, thank you! When you say my decor is Alpha; what do you mean by that?

not sure if it's your kind of game but the dog plays a large role in Ghost Trick, especially in the plot-twist near the end, which is very creative. part of the game plays in a restaurant funnily (it's a chicken restaurant, though), and it's crime/murder with comedic elements.

I watched this video. I think the part around 1:40 makes it very clear you are not an extrovert but you will find 20 different opinions on this site, even though only 16 types exist.

Socionics divides the sixteen individual sociotypes into four Quadras, each of which shares the same "values" among its four members.

Alpha quadra (Si/Ti/Ne/Fe) has values in common which prize openness, democracy, public virtue, and intellectual accomplishment.
Beta quadra (Se/Ti/Ni/Fe) has values which prize strength, public service, and rationality.
Gamma quadra (Se/Te/Ni/Fi) has values which prize strength, individuality, capitalism, and change.
Delta quadra (Si/Te/Ne/Fi) has values which prize taking profits, personal comfort, individuality, and tradition.

Alpha decor is clean, light, bright, intellectually interesting, and modern. Not a lot of convolutions or complexity, no darkness, and lots of interesting surprises to come upon. It's a lot like Gamma decor, but is more Si and less Se. Gamma decor will also be abstract, but in bold, primary colors. Te/Ni/Se/Fi.

In one of your videos, you show some paintings on the wall. Very mid-century modern. Very Alpha. Very Frank Lloyd Wright, who was ESE. I like them.

I have tons of photos of decor and architectural styles, but there are too many to list here. However, this forum does have a thread in which each Quadra has an architectural preference, although that's not clear unless you know the sociotypes of the posters, and the thread could be a lot better than it is. https://www.the16types.info/vbulleti...ful-Home-Decor
Your preference in decorating is Alpha.

valued Fe

I'm not convinced of SEI, Audrey. My wife is confirmed SEI and i don't see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaEgifwgqBU

You play around with possibilities more than the type, to me.

ISFJ MBTI speak are rules bound meaning a bit rigid with protocol in the way something is done by the book. Like, anything is learned and it is kept that way, it is cataloged and referenced in a museum of past ideas.

If my wife learns something, she says it is hard to learn it another way, it takes a lot of time to adapt to new methods. That is her vulnerable function, with low Ne.

How would you change the world Audrey? A test question for you. N vs S type.

You resemble the Fe types to me in this channel. ^

[fiorale]

I'm not very accurate typing Fe users when they are very young. Fe puts a mask over every action and young people are usually not confident enough to show other parts of themselves. Good luck on your channel.

I honestly was surprised I could be a Fe user! I'm very caring about others but I've always felt very Fi! Like I feel like I have very strong values.
Since I was young I did notice there was a lot of suffering in the world and since then I have tried to just do my best to be kind to everyone to spread positivity. I think everything has a ripple effect. I also always wanted to work in healthcare because I want to help people; it gives me a lot of joy to feel that I am doing little things to help brighten people's day, so I guess that could possibly be Fe.

[audreyhope]

Thanks so much! I'm actually 29 (But if that is considered young then- yay! Haha) But that makes a lot of sense- I was super shy when I was younger!

Sounds like the type. Wanting to service others. Re check my edit too with link.

[audreyhope]

the decor in the link you sent me was like the most beautiful thing ever- I love that style! It's almost like modernized cottage core (which is my favorite aesthetic)

Okay yes the ISFp- Fe seems very accurate; haha that was a good video

I'm glad it found a spot.

i've identified a lot of ISTj types in my life with that channel. I had an ESTp Ti friend from my past via that channel's VI method. I suspected he was, but the introverted extrovert presents weirdly.

If you’ve settled on SEI-Fe (and I completely agree with that as your Sociotype), then you should know that your best match is an ENTP-Ti. I know a few guys of that type. All are married and are 100% dedicated to their wives.

Which is weird because they were complete players and jerks before they met an SEI, settled down, and got married.

I have worked for many years with a female SEI-Fe, and she is wonderful. She’s smart, kind, caring, competent, and concerned about the people around her. She is married to a guy whom I think might be ESE, but when she and a male ENTP-Ti shared an office, they were the best of friends. They worked together perfectly and had each other’s backs.
They were definitely better together.

I love you Adam but we should put pieces of wisdom like this to rest for a while.

clean and bright (and empty!) is also a trend in affluent houses and thus influences Ni/Se aspiration to sophistication and elegant decorum for example in Beta where rules of 'good taste' are more valued than in Alpha.

another case for consideration: clean and bright can also mean someone decorating their house in a "relaxing Mediterranean" style in soft peach and ocean blue because a character in a book series they're obsessed with does the same in their dolce vita fantasy so it's the fantasy they're reenacting. You think it sounds Si but it only demonstrates a aspect of the person's personality (but also that they value the rich European dandy lifestyle which is more indicative of Ni/Se). ESE (the type most likely to 'open up space' by virtue of reshuffling objects and EJ temperament) would be hard-pressed to present a such a case because becoming engrossed in a book series clashes with their Ni polr.

also words like clean and 'uniformly' will have different connotation to the different quadras. Using them as any type of hint will create endless problems for self typing (of people reading this).

Ni/Se aesthetic and decor is either like BAM in your face bold, or if sophisicated it's more exotic and very detailed, like a persian rug.

Si/Ne, especially Alpha is pastel colors, like light teal pair with beige or pink, I see often, and more easy on the eyes softer colors lighter shades in general, nothing imposing like a super fancy chandelier.

So both can be aesthetic but the styles seem different most of the time.

Rusal, you are correct that I'm guilty of imprecise generalizations when it comes to aesthetics. Si is not my strong point, which is exactly why I hired an interior decorator to make my house look human. Not to alter the structural parts, but rather to put up curtains.

In my defense, I can see the differences in taste between the Quadras, but I suck at describing what I'm seeing. In this area, I'm like an IEI describing how to make a firm more financially efficient, or an EIE writing a maintenance and repair manual on the space shuttle engines.

Yes, I don't want to create problems or confusion for people who are self-typing. This is why I tend to just give Te examples rather than Ti generalizations, but even here, I'm not 100% confident in what I'm presenting, because this is an area of Si aesthetics.

Lord Pixel, I agree with this and I tried to say it, but you expressed it much better than my attempt.

Yes, Se is bold colors and Si is pastels. <= Even that sucks as a description.

[audreyhope]

I have decided on SEI-Fe
Makes a lot of sense

Thanks guys
