Personally, I don't feel that NEED to be nice.
You can be logical and be an Fe, since you use Ti to support your ideas. This interaction between Fe and Ti would explain why you think someone is being stupid, but succumb to playing nicely. Your tendency to bottle up your logical thoughts is the antithesis of Te, which as an ENTJ would be your dominant function.
I hope that this post did not come off as patronizing or overly judgmental.
Thanks a lot. This didn't come off as patronizing or overly judgmental at all. It came off as very useful.
Well, if said person is my friend I will tell them they're being stupid, but will try to be as nice as I can (which is very hard for me when I believe I'm right). If they're not my friend then I'll be straight to the point.
I feel like I have to keep my logical thoughts and objectivity bottled up or people won't accept me. But it's incredibly hard.
I guess I'm an ENFJ though. But I relate so much to the ENTJ type as well, it's a bit confusing!
This seems very Fe to me (ENTJs feeling function is Fi). My step-dad is an ENTJ, and he doesn't believe that there's any reason for social nicety. If someone is being stupid, then it needs to be corrected....it's of paramount importance.
To an ENTJ, the most important thing is organizing for efficiency/systematzing/structuring/monitoring for standards or specifications being met. To an ENTJ considering others and the group/deciding if something is appropriate or acceptable to others is very low down on the totem pole. It just doesn't even really factor in.
I would say you're an ENFJ...but just because you're an NF doesn't mean you can't be logical, competitive and disliking of authority! I consider myself to be those things, too. :tongue:
Oh, thank you!! I think you're right, I'm probably an ENFJ then. With a very strong Ti. :happy:
I couldn't NOT consider other's feelings. I'd really, really want to though. It's really frustrating. It's hard to ignore the big part of me that wants to be an ENTJ but can't be.
