@Dheepan

I didn't see anything about Ne specifically in your list... what makes you think you have Ne? You certainly sound way more J than P, based on being on top of things.

 

I know of an ENTJ with a PhD in poetry. personality does not equal job title or hobby.
FWIW, I found your post organized and easy to read. Te is one of your primary function, IMO.

 

In general, I drastically prefer discussions about concepts or ideas. I think some people have confused me as an introvert primarily because if conversation is centered on the day to day stuff (weather, clothes, what some celebrity did) I would rather not take part. If there is no linkage to future aims, or an analytical comparison (this could be a funny take) I really get bored.

I tend to make statements that begin like "have you ever noticed this in people..." or "do you think this part of society tells us..."

Also in regards to my art, I make things where one line spontaneously begets a head, that turns into a boat, that turns into a tree etc, that seems Ne to me. But I'm not really that knowledgeable about the cognitive types.

 

you could try yourself out here What's my personality type?

 

No, I'm fairly sure it's against one of the commandments. The only acceptable professions are consultant, lawyer and Dark Lord of the Sith.

 

< ENTJ and a (UI / UX) Product Designer for a profitable tech start-up headquartered in San Francisco.

I get paid to sit in Photoshop, design interfaces / interaction paradigms, and be opinionated. Oh and people listen and respect my opinion. Highly analytical, a reformer, a stickler for details, and I love problem solving. I connect the dots. I make ideas into reality.

Best part about it? I went to school for Linguistics. I dropped out and taught myself how to build web sites and it's been a VERY intense and fun climb to where I am at. Less than 3 years.

Okay I'm done tooting my own horn. BUT THE POINT WAS -- Yes, it's possible. Stop asking for our opinions and act.

Also, great creatives don't get bored. They're always trying to achieve the best and never feel as if anything they do is "good enough". They continue to aspire for more. If you don't have the hunger, maybe you're in the wrong field?

 

No. It would be like dividing by zero. Or having a good Monday.

 

I think you can. You should never let your personality type dictate whether or not you're allowed to express certain interests of yours. It's just that... I think it's really ridiculous to say that all XXXXs do this and all XXXXs never do this. Because, that's just not true. MBTI is not supposed to take away the individuality of people, it's to group people who have similar (not identical) personalities.

I mean, there still is a chance that ENTJ isn't your true type--and even professional tests vary depending on who's interpreting it--but I would not let your interest in the arts be the reason for you to doubt it. MBTI isn't there to make you feel like you're being restricted to only exhibit certain traits. So don't let it trap you in a box, okay? I personally think it's great that you have an interest that is deemed atypical for your type. Individuality is an awesome thing, and it's your job to show the world how awesome yours is. =)

--I actually had to listen to this speech, in my composition class on Monday, called "The danger of a single story," given by author Chimamanda Adichie. I'm going to mention it here because I think it really applies to your situation. It's about how people define the many by the few, and the basis of incomplete views. I'm too new to provide a link to the video, but it should be the first on the list if you search Youtube for it.

 

Can I be an Artist and an ENTJ?

Yes.

 

Yes. Please post some pictures of your art

My bad. Thanks, Mr. Adrian. Damn, that's some niiice stuff! I just wrote and deleted a long post about a bogus theory that the artist flow-state may have developed your extroverted intuition, but it was total bullshit.

Haha I would be interested in that theory. Here is me in a flow-state, and an example of what I mentioned earlier. It's a timelapse video of me drawing. Sorry about not being able to post links

I think I should mention that the intent of the thread was NOT to ask whether or not it is possible for me to be an artist. I dedicate a lot of time and effort to achieving my dream as an artist, and am wholly of convinced of it's eventuality. Last year I showed my work at Art Basel in Miami, so I'm certainly making progress. I am not going to change my long term plans because of my type, I am just asking if I could be mistyping myself.

I saw earlier than ISFP's and ENTJ's have the same cognitive functions just in reverse order, given that I am a balanced person it could be plausible that my weaker functions are just much more developed. So far that seems like the best answer if I am typed correctly as an ENTJ.

 

I think you're right about being an "ENTJ", butwith other functions more developed. You seem like a very driven artist. As anartist, does extraverted intuition serve you better than extraverted thinking?

 

You can be an artist, even a relationship counselor or a football playing king in space.

 

or a football playing king in space.

Have you been reading my diary?

 

@Dheepan, I don't have anything to say in regard to your type, but I checked out your art and I really like it. Expressionism...I wasn't expecting that. That's the kind of art I make, too (for the most part.).

 

I am an AI sciences student, aspiring fashion designer and dark lord of the sith. I'm a pureblood ENTJ

For many years, I considered the possibility of supporting half of my finances through writing and recording music. Although I did not follow through with that, the answer is yes.

Your post was very Te to me. I think ENTJ seems fairly likely.

Just click "Thread Tools" up top. No need to post.

 

I'm on my mobile these days. trying to live out of a backpack. I don't have a computer. That is good to know though. Thanks.

I would say you can yes; my ex is an ENTJ and she is a really good artist she's studying graphic design and I would say she's an even a better artist than me and i'm an ISFP the title of ''The Artist''

 

Be who you really are. Your skills and talent have no bearing on your personality type. You can be a creative type regardless of whatever type. The way you view the world is what would be affected by your active functions, the things you create reflect that. That's all.

Personality typing is severely flawed in many ways anyway. I mean MBTI was invented to find positions for women at the workplace during a time when things were worse on many social levels. Then there are cultural factors which influence the expression of those eight functions. [My hypothesis is that we can perfect each function to the max. An ubermensch would have everything set to max]

Simply put; don't let a personality theory, a flawed one, prevent you from doing what you are capable of.
