I would like to know how do you see this topic: are ENTPs able to differentiate between friends and acquitance? And extraverts in general?
Functianalyst: “You have never known extraverts to refer to their friends when they truly did not know the person? I see it all the time and experienced it quite often growing up. I have never come across an extravert who was actually able to make a distinction.” (speaking difference between friends and acquitance. Complete story is at ESTP board under How do you use your Ti).
Nessie:”I could also look at my best ENTP friend, who was dying from laughter from that claim. BTW, he is also making distinction between social and bussiness contacts and don’t refer as to friends his one night stands.”
Functianalyst:”As for ENTPs, that is the extraverting type that I was actually alluding to since I spent meant years on the ENTP.ORG forum where it seemed everyone was a friend and they seemed to be more than willing to indicate someone’s type as a friend until it was discovered they truly did not know the person. So to the contrary, it is the ESTPs in the url I pasted that make this claim, not me.
It’s interesting that you bring up the ENTP, since that is the type I actually had in mind that generally makes the claim of appearing more introverted. I spent many years on the ENTP.org forum where those proposing to be ENTP were claiming friendships that when actuality after a series of questions, it was obvious they did not know the person they were claiming as a friend. It prompted me to ask on several occasions if they were able to discern the difference between friends and acquaintances, because I knew that I could very easily. My inquiry was met with silence. Until I read the description pasted in the url, I passed off my ability to make these distinctions simply as something I do with my Ti. It also made me appreciate that I could not be ENTP.”
