I have ADD (despite being an opposite type from ENFP), and let me tell you, it doesn't feel like creativity at all. It feels like I'm broken, like I cannot direct what I think about. What I mean is, in your normal life, people divide mental energy almost unconciously on a little bit here, lots of focus here, etc. But with ADD, you have to do a manual override of this process. Imagine having to conciously think, "Arm, move 2 degrees left, one degree up", and you have a pretty good idea of what it's like controlling your attention with ADD. Without medication, I have to continuously repeat in my head "Okay, I'm gonna do this. This thing. This thing." so that I don't divert my attention to random shit. Concerta makes it natural, normal.
How? They are intuition inferior types. Try an ISP or an ESJ for a truly more intuitive sensor.
Sorry for any nonsense in there.. I was quite literally half asleep when writing it.
Anyway, I completely forgot to address that. Sorry..
Outside of general intuitive's ADD. (I'll call it "Diverted attention", seeing as it's quite often more of a case of internal thought, rather than a complete lack of attention to anything.)
There is a legitimate attention deficit that is cause by a chemical imbalance in the brain.. I think there's a massive test that would tell you what is off balance, but I can't remember entirely what the issue is.
I wouldn't be entirely shocked if it's low Dopamine, though.. I haven't researched enough on this, so I'm obviously just ignorantly spitballing this. But anyway..
Dopamine is what sends the signals to the neuroreceptors. So logically speaking, that would decrease focus and more.
As for the ESFP thing.. Basically what I was trying to say, is that despite them being Se dominant, ESFP musicians (at the very least), seem to use the inferior intuition to bring something new to the musical table.
I could be blithering nonsense right now, I don't know.
I know that a very very large amount of musicians just put out generic crap that makes me want to puke.. But there are some that seem to step outside of the boundaries of what everyone else has done.
Perhaps I'm just wrongly trying to associate all creativity and unique thought, to intuition.. I don't know.. I should probably start getting more than 4-6 hours of sleep. hahaha
Basically I tend to think of the functions kind of like this.
E/I: Social interaction types
Si/Se: Mental focus (Past, present), and memory
Ni/Ne: Mental focus (Future), and creativity
Fi/Fe: Moral compass. Fi = Independently decided moralism, Fe = Trust in collectively decided belief.
I used law as an example. Fi perspective = I don't care what they say, This is right/wrong. Fe perspective = the majority of the world agrees that this is right, obviously it must be true.
Neither way is wrong, because it's all about how it fits. Fi on TJs is works. Fi = independence, J = grounding.
Fe on TPs is perfect, because TPs are known to step outside of all boundaries, and try new things.. But Fe is what grounds them.
It all works perfectly.
Te/Ti: Thinking styles.. I don't know enough about Ti to really go in depth on this subject.. I'm still learning though. After all, I only learned what MBTI is, less than a year ago.
So basically, we need one of each of these to have complete personalities.
Oh.. And thank you
@cue5c for helping me with that bit.. I was at a loss on how to explain it. hahaha
