    If you use simple logic,

    It's no longer 16-personalities. It's 32 personalities.

      The A and the T make a big difference. I don't really know how to explain it; I just know that they make huge difference. I guess As can come across as more intimidating for one.
      I, personally, am all bark and no bite in most situations. I'll call the cops on a friend if they break the law, otherwise I'm pretty harmless.

      cognitive functions will go more in-depth on whether you fall under introversion or extroversion. If your functions lean towards the extroverted types, then you might be an extrovert who experiences social anxiety.
      I grew up with social anxiety too. I learned to manage it better as an adult but oof... the amount of physiological reaction I would experience from social interaction as a kid was intense (a pit in your stomach, rapid heartbeat, sweating, etc)

      I'm definitely an extrovert (ENFJ), however, when my mental health takes a dive I don't want to be around people. Or I can only take so much of people because they drain my energy. When I'm healthy, I gain all my energy from others. Meaning, I could stay up all night if I have a group of people surrounding me. So, anxiety and depression seem to switch me from extrovert to introvert.

    My three daughters and I took the 16 Personalities test this week, and the results were interesting. (Although, I gather from what I’ve read/seen on here that it’s not the same as the Myers-Briggs test. I’m hoping that we’ll all take the official MBTI test during the next week or so). The two youngest are twins, and they got almost the same result except one is INFP-A and the other is INFP-T. Having read what they say on the 16-P website, I think, “Yes, of course. It’s obvious now that someone has pointed it out to me.” I’m looking forward to this video.

Assertive but not imposing or judgmental with a chill demeanor . Which makes many personalities feel comfortable around us. Unfortunately this leads to random phone-calls in the night or being dragged to parties we may not like to go to, but we support our friends. At least this is my experience.

    Neuroticism is one of the most important distinctions coz when high it can make hell out of your life, and your relationship no matter what other letters are. Luckily that can be moved up to "normal" by a good therapy. It's a matter of emotional maturity and stability of each kind of personality. And that can influence your interaction with others even more then just what their mbti preference is. So I'm actually glad those letter are there in the test.

    Can I also add that Assertion/Turbulence can change throughout our lives and the decisions we take. Some times of my life, after I've made some good decisions, healed broken relationships and jumped into something new, I've been much higher in the A trait. Other times, often based on our environments and the general state of the word, Turbulence can rise again. It's essentially your mental health. Some people's are generally low, others are generally high. But it can fluctuate hugely based on our choices and situation.

    • @Jackalopefriday
      @Jackalopefriday Pƙed 3 lety +4

      I don't think it's suggesting that one does get anxious & one does not, it's more of an inclination. I walk into a room & immediately assess threats. It's not that I fall apart over them, but I'm very aware of them. Same with ways a situation could devolve or negative things a person might be thinking. It's an awareness that helps me better prepare for worst case scenario. I fell pretty far into the T category. I figure people in the far A side just don't view the world in that way - they can obviously still get nervous about stuff (they're not a robot) & they may handle it well or poorly, but that nervousness, that anxiety, that cave-manesque hyper awareness is not something they encounter as often.
      That's my take anyway

      I tested T and I am a realistic optimistic person. Always have been. If anxiety stops you from doing what you would like to do, then it can be problematic. According to the polyvagal theory, in stressful situations I would freeze up or run away. I much prefer to cultivate a sound social engagement approach to life. I still struggle with asserting my well thought out views as a way to avoid conflict. Having an ESTJ boss has been a blessing in disguise, my skin is getting thicker. She’s great overall 😛

    As someone who went through abuse and and now has complex PTSD, the neurotic category isn't going to always be accurate to describe someone's personality. If you experienced trauma/abuse, a common reaction is for the brain to become more vigilant to protect you from further trauma. If this happens at a young age, it can be virtually impossible to separate that neuroticism into what was developed due to trauma and what is someone's personality

I will react emotionally to things, but in the end I usually blame myself for logical reasons. I always govern my life by logical decision, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t experience and even react to the feelings.

With sugar I'm riding the high seas, and I've learned to be more aware and tapped into these differences in my day to day.

    This has finally cleared some things up for me. I'm introverted, but not anxious. I was always curious why some people equated the two. So a person can have a personality type and be assertive or tumultuous. The assertive types may not experience much anxiety, while the more tumultuous types will experience anxiety. Isn't that something therapy could help with? I'm thinking anxiety cannot contribute much to quality of life.
