#think Jesus and Hitler - do you think they're similar in personality? they're both INFJs

[bat-the-misfit]

Ok, genuine question:

I suspect one member of the groups i listen to is the same type as me. Is there a shortcut or is it easier to know if someone has the same type as you? Like as if you had a radar to people of your type?

He's honestly so much like me I can't help but remember you telling me facts about my type 😭 I can't belive you're dragging me to the typology side of the force

But does he look like you when it comes to behavior or functions and stack? Bc you have to remember you can't type based on how someone acts - someone's functions are spotted when you ask the why and the how of their behavior.

If you type based on behavior you're not only mistyping the person but stereotyping the type in question. In you case ISFJ: closed-minded, very trustful, very caring, submissive, etc. These are NOT things that usually makes ISFJs be ISFJs, bc everyone of any type can be like that (even ENTPs, which are the opposite type.)

What makes ISFJs be ISFJs are using Si-Fe-Ti-Ne in their function stack. That's what you have to look for.

When you say he's "so much like you", is it because everything he does scream Si-Fe-Ti-Ne to you???

Does he look for comfort and security, staying is his comfort zone, having a large data of facts that are proven to be the best data, staying away from anything new and unreliable, chaotic and unreal because it's important for him to feel secure with what he knows it's more trustworthy (dominant Si - inferior Ne)? Or does he do that for other reasons? Does he do that bc of Ni reasons? Any other function reasons? See the motivations behind his behaviors.

Also check if his alleged Si is dom or aux. You have to see if his Fe is there as a tool and as a scale to the Si, not the opposite. See if he seeks out for the community (in this case the group he's a member of) to raise the sense of security and knowingness (Fe supporting Si = ISFJ). If he tends to repeat patterns proven to be the most efficient to make people get to social harmony, seeking the security and routine and physical things that bring "cozy" feelings bc he judges as more important to get that sense of "my group is feeling well" (Si supporting Fe = ESFJ), it's likely that you're mistyping him.

In case of an unhealthy type check if he seems to be in a Si-Ti loop as well. He'll completely ignore his Fe in this state. Same for grips. Look out for Ne grips as well.

Well any other questions you have you can come here and ask me bc you know i love to ramble :D

#i know i talk too much but you asked for it lol #i hope this helps you #I ALSO HOPE TO ACTUALLY BRING YOU TO THE TYPOLOGY SIDE OF THE FORCE #and no there's no shortcuts #even if you're of that type they might be very different from you so it's no use #you have to check for the functions and the stack regardless #it's sad but that's how it works #it won't be easier to spot people of your type #THANK YOU CAMILAAAAAA I LOVE RAMBLING #tio morcego tá tagarela #edit bc i thought of examples: #think Jesus and Hitler - do you think they're similar in personality? they're both INFJs #L from Death Note and Patrick Star - are they similar? “no Bat Patrick is dumb” yeah but they're both INTPs #Bubbles and Kylo Ren are both INFPs and they don't have anything in common. why? Kylo is in a Te grip while Bubbles uses her Fi really well #now if you think about the REASONS and HOWS they do/did things you will be how similar these people/characters actually are #same with the opposite situation: #don't you think my oc Victor acts EXACTLY like Tadeu does? #but Victor is an ESTP while Tadeu is an ENFP like they literally have no functions in common #they might do the same reckless and dumb shit but the reasons behind it are completely different #well aNYWAY
