Jovial State

Determination →ActionRegulationValuation
Perception →SensationConceptionEmpathy
Disengagement →AbstractionInstinctionDetachment

Also called Convivial—The best concept to define the focus of this state is mood. It is the state of keen instincts and humor. It represents a psyche that is rationally relaxed, but physically and emotionally flexible. In this state we are aware of our surroundings looking for things that may propose a treat or threat, reacting with emotions, or attributing and perceiving emotions from them. In other words, experiencing sensorial emotions. We look to sense, connect and express ourselves. We are easygoing, sensitive and free spirited. This state is social, engages in new activities easily, and evokes sympathy.
By definition, this is the state of sensation, instinction and empathy. Its main characteristic is sensing the surroundings for inspiration, or empathizing with what is presented to our senses, while avoiding rational stress. This defines our ability to sense what is happening at an emotional level without having to question or rationalize it. It also defines our ability to follow social vibes and swings.
It has one tendency towards introversion:

  • Instinction cultivates arbitratity and rebelliousness, demanding self-confidence.
Topographic Map location: Club
MBTI approximation: ESFP
Archetype: Trendsetters

Socializers, Entertainers… People who have a strong tendency to this state are simply cool, hip, groovy. They have low patience for explanatory details, deliberation and reflective analysis, their attention goes to where the physical emotion is at; they are natural deejays, comedians and emcees. For them, being spontaneous, funny, and able to connect and follow the vibe is more pressing than order or propriety. Being alert and open to bond with others gives them a chance to get involved in several interests and topics. But, their participation can be subjective to the moment and the opportunities to unwind and be festive. They can be organized by following social codes or common sense. They enjoy sports, but are not necessarily competitive. They also enjoy art, but preferably in tangible forms (music, dance, fashion, etc.). They enjoy being part of the audience or crowd, and not necessarily struggle to be a contender or critic; although, they make great performers.
People that are strongly jovial look for fun and free expression, and feel out of place in solemn or serious environments. They react to feelings with expressivity, and are susceptible to their social environment. They focus on perceiving and connecting to the moment and transmitting these emotions to others, and have an amazing ability to bring people together. This gives them the ability to recognize other’s humors. They use personal instincts as guiding norms.

Consider this archetype a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to frequent several states, and become multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

Not an ESFP lol

Also called Psychological—The best concept to define the focus of this state is meaning. It is the state of essence and purpose. It represents a psyche that is physically relaxed, but emotionally tense and rationally flexible. We are in this state when searching ideals, meanings, significance or transcendence; when we are involved in abstract reverence. We look to reflect on our values; conceive and expose our feelings. We are devoted to ideas, and enjoy exploring and elaborating on them; being focused on emotional concepts and experiences.​
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, conception and valuation. Its main characteristic is pondering sentiments or placing values on concepts, all while avoiding physical stress. This defines our ability to be exalted, repulsed or devoted to abstract ideas, while being absent from physical surroundings or escaping what is tangible or presented to the senses at the moment.​
It has two tendencies towards introversion:

  • Valuation cultivates particular interests and sensibility, causing self-absorption.

Archetype: Therapists Missioners, Psychologists… People who have a strong tendency to this state focus on their feelings and analysis. Their attention goes where ideals and beliefs are. For them, being a visionary is more pressing than physical possessions or industry. They plan and care for what is emotionally important or relevant, and avoid more practical but non-transcendental activities. They feel comfortable in secular environments, but will always question the purpose in search for better things. Their visions may seem compelling and pleasurable, while reality may seem dull and dirty. They may abandon quests following their feelings, and dislike definite, predictable and rigorous things. They are impulsively protective of things they value, but might overlook physical abilities, facts or needs. They may be biased about their preferences; but, they are open to reflect on their feelings.
People that are strongly existential are open to suggestions, information and exploration, but these are all conditioned by an intense desire to carry an ideal. This can make them reject or adopt things, and may interfere with interpretations, giving a sense of clarity at times and disdain at others. They pursue passion in order to be creative; they tend to be drawn towards arts in many shapes, specially abstract and surreal.​

Interesting test, lets see:

I/E: 26/74%
N/S: 65/35%
T/F: 33/67%
J/P: 42/58%

ENFP... surprise surprise!

74% Social
73% Ideational
67% Jovial
65% Inspirational AND Cordial
64% Existential

So by 1%... that makes me:

Social State

FocusPhysical
Rational
Emotional
Determination →ActionRegulationValuation
Perception →SensationConceptionEmpathy
Disengagement →AbstractionInstinctionDetachment

The best concept to define the focus of this state is connection. It is the state of openness and sociability. It represents a psyche that is physically, rationally and emotionally flexible. We are in this sate when we engage in activities in accordance with our social environment; when we are looking for middle grounds and getting involved, but not looking to be devoted to anything. We focus on outreach and versatility itself. This state is not into reclusion or introversion.
By definition, this is the state of sensation, conception and empathy. Its main characteristic is sensing the surroundings for ideas, pondering about emotions, and being inspired by present events. This defines our ability to fully connect with the moment, on a physical, rational and emotional level. But it also makes us susceptible to it.
It has no tendencies towards introversion. This makes it subject to the social environment when it comes to rules, preferences, response or judgement.

Archetype: Mediators

Communicators, Networkers… People who have a strong tendency to this state are hip, popular and clever, but could be perceived as try-hard, two-faced or lacking identity by more introverted or particular types. However, they simply enjoy to participate and be part of the action and subject matter, and hardly desire to become strong followers or leaders, but enjoy feeling informed and involved. They tend to connect everyone, and specialize in this by practicing many trades or sports, knowing little bits of everything, and trying to accept others and be accepted—feel at home everywhere. Popularity may put them in a leadership position, but they may shift the direction of an enterprise for no other purpose than diversity and outreach; which in many cases is appropriate, but could distract from particular goals or interests.
People that are strongly social like to feel surrounded by all kinds of people and things. They are not simply looking for fun or physical pleasure. They enjoy different crowds—parties, book readings, religious gatherings or business—unless these are extreme or constant. They are constantly looking for points of views, more than agreements. They can be easily influenced, but are even greater influencers. They concentrate in the combine experience of themselves and others.

Consider this archetype a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to frequent several states, and become multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

It represents a psyche that is physically and rationally relaxed, but emotionally flexible. We are in this state when we are alert to experience emotion—expect some surprise, good or bad feelings from things, people or ideas. If we are wrong about threats or blessings, we are willing to correct and reevaluate our feelings. This is the key for empathy, inspiration, and building intuition. It is an imminently spiritual state, but not necessarily dogmatic or moralistic. It devices emotions, moods or likings in order to sense the moment, adjust to it, or spice it up.

Archetype: Charmers Mystics, Muses… People who have a strong tendency to this state are more attentive to emotional exchanges, than physical demands and explanatory details or reflective analysis. They are charismatic without effort. They inspire creativity, sweetness, connection and communion, and tend to bring the best out of others. They look to connect with things. For them, having keen intuition and an open heart is more pressing than being industrious or aggressive. However, their love, fascination or disgust for diverse things make them active or curious about many subjects and practices. But, this fascination can be sporadic or lead to newer attractions. They are appreciative of animals, elders, children and strangers; but make better companions than guardians. They are artistic, and although they may seem shy, they are expressive, and develop talent for painting, acting, singing, writing, etc.
People that are strongly inspirational look for fascinations and empathy. They tend not to focus on physical labor or competition. Violence brings them prompt remorse and fear, since they are emotionally open to others. Their norms tend to be based on intuition more than rational analysis. And, they may get involved in thrilling activities impulsively.

People that are strongly factual may perceive others as emotionally susceptible, uncertain, unpractical, or fanatical and delusive about ideals and feelings. They keep an open mind and point of view, and are highly adaptable to changing rules and situations. They value things using socio-personal interests, tending to be active and supportive of their group, community and family.

Mixed feelings about this test. I've really enjoyed taking it, but twice in a row got ENFJ -- cordial state... Can't post links yet (under 15 posts), but adding a plain text description below.



Cordial State.
Also called Congenial—The best concept to define the focus of this state is congeniality.It is the state of relationship and communion. It represents a psyche that is emotionally tense, but physically and rationally flexible. We are in this state when we look for values to be reflected in our social environment. We are attentive to the things that exalt or threaten ideal views, but rather than the attitude of a fighter or guardian, this state provides that of a critic, teammate and supporter. It is social, alert of what is going around, and will be curious about it.
By definition, this is the state of sensation, conception and valuation. Its main characteristic is sensing the surroundings looking for existential connections, pondering about harmony and aesthetics, or bringing value to objectivity. This defines our ability to look for bonds and emotional connections with our social medium.

They are the perfect hosts, celebrate the efforts and intentions of others, put attention to special anniversaries, and assist friends and relatives when needed. They are social and gregarious, but tend to revolve around their community or group. They value responsive and resourceful people, appreciating actions and results, because they value facts more than mere feelings or ideas.

People that are strongly cordial tend to have a clear vision of what they understand to be right and wrong, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, desired and repulsive. They are open to debate ideas and to explore activities, places or cultures; but, they have a clear identity with a family, social group, culture or set of values, and the interaction might be restricted around this basis. They tend to have a clear idea of who is an ally or threat, and to be sensitive to public opinion.

So I am guessing my Ni and Se can be confirmed, and Fi/Fe Ti/Te could be more or less equally developed? Impossible according to the cognitive functions theory, but according to the functions test, my actual function stacking is not lined up the way it's supposed to be lined up... go figure.

*NFP "inspirational"
mbti equivalent was INFP


okay yeah i have taken this before
seems i scored as an *NF* "existentialist" last time
and my results most closely corresponded with INFJ



it was weird though
while taking the test it finally hit me why being able to learn things quickly/catch on quickly is an N trait. it doesn't have anything to do with Ns being smarter than Ss, but because Ns are more likely to embrace the new and unknown, they are naturally more open to new information, even if it is information they have no prior knowledge of. SJs value Si so when they're presented with new information, them being unable to grasp it at the same speed of Ns has nothing to do with them being less intelligent or close-minded, not at all, it just takes them longer to fit that new information into their preexisting framework of the world (or that particular topic). there's not much tangible evidence backing up the validity of said assertions or statements so for them to absorb this information without at least waiting a while for it to be... validated, wouldn't jive well with them? whether that validation comes from within or without depends purely on their introvertedness/extrovertedness. it always bothered me how the online MBTI rip off associated grasping concepts and ideas quickly with intuitives (i've always under that theories, concepts, ideas, etc = intuitive, but i always felt there was more to it than just that). now i have a slightly better understanding as to why. there's of course much more to it than that and what i said was not a revolutionary thought in the slightest, just a simple epiphany i had halfway through the test. i didn't phrase it as well as i hoped.


on another note, i don't know why my sensing is so low on tests like these
7% last time, 8% this time
also feeling went from 59% to 87%

i have a strong preference for blue/purple/pink. my "favourite colour" was purple both times, just different shades. so interesting. i don't think i agree much with my second set of results. i mean, there was a lot there that resonated with me but the first set of results i got hit much closer to home.

The best concept to define the focus of this state is alertness. It is the state of vigilance and agility. It represents a psyche that is rationally and emotionally relaxed, but physically flexible. We are in this state when alert to engage in activities and aware of our environment detecting any possible event, place, threat or treat.

Their attention is on tangible reality, actuality, the task at hand, and the possible actions at any given moment. For them, being swift to perceive and respond is more pressing than being moralistic or deliberate. They may observe how others over-complicate things; while they have a prodigal clarity, straightforwardness and contented nature, and are the least likely people to confront existential turmoil. They enjoy a change of scenario, diet or exercise. Their vigilant nature can expose them to many ideologies and emotional experiences; but, their interaction may be sporadic or influenced by the moment and circumstances. They are appreciative of tastes, but focus on their own preferences.
People that are strongly sensorial are not often open to develop emotional connections, specially if not based on their clear interests and desires. They focus on the here and now, maintaining emotional and rational freedom, and trying not to stress about drama or regulations. They are not necessarily looking for physical control or competition, rather avid interaction and exposure. They are easygoing, and overall uncomplicated about things. They are clear about their wants and desires, and generally relaxed but alert. They are technical and systematic by instinct. They can be more focused on self satisfaction than empathy.

They may focus on health habits, sleep, contemplation, meditation and tending specific physical work, training and needs. Their ability to keep things simple possesses an intriguing way to inspire, give new strengths, perspectives or ideas. They can be very insightful about purely physical, rational or personal emotional matters, and not so much with social, professional or business related ones. They may struggle to avoid seeming unproductive, negligent, or disrespectful. When things get too tense or futile, they could simply restart and search for new horizons with optimism, which could be seen as pride or rebellion, but can be fruitful, or the basis of constant wandering. Their nature could also be that of rebels or anarchists.

People that are strongly elemental tend to emotional affairs that are not too passionate, unless they are intimate. They may bond as they go and may detach as well, but they develop very personal infatuations. They have a clear idea of the things that please them and the ones that don’t, but do not focus on promoting their values, or demand social ambition or glory. They have low interest in industry, unless it is personal, individual and habitual work. They avoid analysis, unless it is abstract and personal; this means that science, chess and crosswords puzzles, even philosophy, might be attractive, but not law, etiquette, professional and social norms. They are not prone to emotional displays, and tend to make decisions without stress, but under pressure, they can be considered aggressive, stubborn or selfish—sticking to their rebellious nature.

Consider this archetype a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to frequent several states, and become multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

Yes sensing is when you use your sense to perceive tangible things. You can feel the actual touch or texture of something. You can smell the scent. See the color of the object and whatever figure you can see on it. And Intuition is the perception of the mind towards an object. How he describes the object according to his judgment. The result of the informations gathered from the senses. The intuition may tell the object is great and the sensing may tell that the object is colorful. So keen observation is needed for this. And you must understand and differentiate the qualities of the two terms. As an individual you use this sensing and intuition for professional work. Like investigating on a symptom you use these two terms. Being able to classify and differentiate them makes you able to diagnose correctly the symptom.

Interesting test and a type I wouldn't have expected to get (ISTP).

Practical State

FocusPhysical

Determination →ActionRegulationValuation
Perception →SensationConceptionEmpathy
Disengagement →AbstractionInstinctionDetachment

The best concept to define the focus of this state is aptitude. It is the state of dexterity and skill. It represents a psyche that is emotionally relaxed, but rationally flexible and physically tense. In this state we are active, but most of all resourceful, willing to put hands into action and find new abilities. We will focus on an action, but stop to look for improvements or new implementations.
By definition, this is the state of focus in action, conception and detachment. Its main characteristic is acting upon concepts or ideas, or pondering about actions, all while avoiding emotional stress. This defines our ability to perform activities that are guided by our objectivity and reflections, without being distracted or carried away be emotional sensibilities.
It has two tendencies towards introversion:

  • Action cultivates competition and impatience, prompting self-reliance.
  • Detachement cultivates aloofness and disinterest, promoting self-absorption.

Another name for it would be Intellectual—The best concept to define the focus of this state is intellect. It is the state of knowledge and curiosity. It represents a psyche that is physically and emotionally relaxed, but rationally flexible. We are in this state when we want to learn and contemplate concepts and reasons. We are not satisfied with a simple answer or rules, and this ability opens the door to new ideas and questions. It makes us eager to know and conceive things.
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, conception anddetachment. Its main characteristic is the grasp of concepts and information, and avoiding physical or emotional stress. This defines our understanding of abstract ideas without constriction, misguidance or distraction by immediate physical demands or emotional appreciations.
It has three tendencies towards introversion:

  • Abstraction cultivates timidity and awkwardness, leading towards self-reliance.
  • Detachement cultivates aloofness and disinterest, promoting self-absorption.
