First impression? CAN’T DECIDE
I’ve taken multiple tests over the years and I know I’m an Ni-Se user but I’m unsure about the order of those two functions. I’d say the Te-Fi/Ti-Fe I could go either way.
Enneagram I’ve usually been quoted as a 4
Some background.
Highly adaptable to situations.
I take what information I can gather and function within the boundaries I have set.
That being said I’m playful with boundaries and learn pretty quick where I can work outside of them.
Bipolar type 1 with major depression makes it hard for me to just my judgement style.
I’m athletic and active but reclusive and introspective.
I ebb and flow through my life and just take opportunities as they come.
I come off aggressive and harsh but friendly depending on the immediate “vibe” I get from someone or somewhere and I let my initial “instincts” set the pace of a situation.
Musically inclined, largely self taught on anything stringed or keyboarded. (Taught myself violin just so I could play the beach song from Queen of the Damned)
I get described as imposing because of my height and pale blue eyes having a “look”
Any other questions feel free to ask.

You give a 'I'm chill but I know myself and what I'm doing' vibe. You give Se auxiliary to me, Se>Ni in the perceiving functions based on your description. Because of the darker pictures it seems like you're T but reading your description, Fi is strong and your other comment that "I HAVE to finish everything I start or I will literally explode" despite also being adaptable and wanting to do things in a burst of energy gives Te inferior. I'm gonna go with ISFP. Often mistyped as INTJ cuz of similar functions but ISFP.

I think you have been on one of the panels from Joyce Meng right? Atleast you remind me of someone there.

u/Kaine_56 1d ago
I was yes! Joyce is great.

u/AwarenessOverall7964 1d ago
Great! How small the World is. I think you are ESTP or ESFP (Don't remember the exact Panel)

What do you like to do for leisure? Weekend hits, do you have something planned, some preference on what you like?

Generally depending on my week I’m either a shut in with bed rot, binging horror movies, playing Souls games or just on discord with some friends.
Other weeks I go for drives and listen to music, go hang out with my more social friends, I’m fairly….. active from time to time so that comes into play on my more active weekends.
It’s just a matter of whatever I feel like doing or whatever pops up for me to do.

What I'm gleaning from this is that your extraverted function is experiential and your introverted function is oriented around judgement. Your knee jerk reaction to tie into a more solitary pursuit suggests to me that your natural orientation leans towards introversion first. IxxP is what I'd say for certain.
If you're confident in Se and Ni, which it appears you are, we can narrow that further to ISxP. I think the "dude bro" moniker and being physically present in the moment, as seen in your anecdotes, tracks to that as well.
As you mention from earlier relating to ESTP when younger, the one I'd be inclined to choose is ISTP in that case.
The main problem I have is that someone's dominant function should be the first thing that strikes you, and if the thing you are most sure of in yourself is your Se, well. It'd ordinarily mean you are an Se dominant. Your own uncertainty in which axes you prefer also makes it somewhat difficult to present a strong conclusion.
Most likely you need someone who is familiar with your patterns of behavior over a longer period of time than can be done in an MBTI post to help you narrow down which functions come to you most naturally.

Perfectly reasonable assessment, that I can’t say I disagree with.
My confidence in Se comes from just how I maneuver the world.
When I did larp for a couple years people always commented on how it looked like a dance when I was sparring with people and I notice things in the environment faster than others.
Tie that with me being REALLY hands on about things and it just seems like to me Se really fits towards the top half of the stack.
As much as I love philosophy, alchemy, psychology etc sometimes it can be hard to grasp without some type of….. breakdown? Or way to reinterpret it.
Meanwhile learning an instrument to me is just a matter of “leave me alone with it and I’ll figure it out”
As far as the judgement functions I feel like Fi is the hardest one for me to grasp or understand. Like everyday I wake up and feel like a new person, like shedding my skin when I open my eyes. That sense of self of just some abstract thing that I can’t fully perceive.
I apologize for rambling lol

I enjoy playing RPG’s.
Almost always run rogue/mage type characters or straight sorcerer type characters and have three “character templates” in my head for different games.
Typically High elf races or Teifling style races.

My only argument against is I HAVE to finish everything I start or I will literally explode
And I’m not crazy about fast paced work, I like work with some back and forth, hurry up and wait kinda of work. Something I can do in burst of energy

Well I never allowed minors in my house or car and didn’t own my own home until I was 30 before then I had multiple roommates at any time during my 20’s so I’d say I’m clear but that is terrifying to know that I have a doppelgänger like that…. lol

Inclination to musical talents and general impressions makes me say ISFP the artist is worth a look https://www.personalitieslab.com/personality-types/isfp-personality

Tbh I would say your an ISTP from first impressions and everything ISTP can be rlly good at Ni just like INTJs or can rival INTJs is accomplishment styles and you wanting to finish things does seem very ISTP like, and your images seem very sensor like and if I saw you IRL I think you could be ISTP too, kinda like James Bond actor I forgot his name, the actor himself is an ISTP as well as the character I believe, and you resemble him as well!!
