Have a friend whose type is eluding me.
Some (hopefully helpful) characteristics:
I'm thinking perhaps ENXP...?
Any ideas as to what type he might be?
Thanks! :happy:
Some (hopefully helpful) characteristics:
- Loves to analyze and speculate about other people. What they were like in the past, what they'll be like in the future, what they're really thinking, how they relate to the people around them.
- Likes to think about the nature/meaning of life.
- Frank, outspoken, sometimes rude.
- Opinionated. Likes to debate. Finds my INTP neutrality maddening, and usually tries to get me to pick a side.
- Dislikes authority/being told what to do.
- Anxious to find love, discouraged that it hasn't happened yet. A proud hopeless romantic, with no outlet.
- Spends lots of time alone, and is comfortable with this, but always open to social activity.
- Asks revealing/personal questions of his friends. It's hard to have a shallow friendship with him.
- Makes friends fairly easily. He's outgoing, people find him unique and intriguing and he's interested in them.
- Always finding a new hobby, a new musical instrument, a new way of looking at life. Tries everything, usually doesn't stick with things for too long.
- Good creative writer.
- Sometimes shows a random/goofy sense of humor.
- Music is hugely important to him. Carries speakers wherever he goes.
- Resents assigned work, but manages his time well in order to get it out of the way.
- When he wants a new car/musical instrument/etc. he does his research and finds the best-rated one, weighing price with quality and style.
- Constantly warring inclinations: do what's best in the long run or be reckless and live life to the fullest.
- Not afraid to put himself out there or make a fool of himself.
- Bedroom is messy: unmade bed, clothes lying around, books, papers, computers, computer accessories, whatever else.
- As a kid he was seen as "eccentric" (and sometimes still is). Was well-liked but didn't have any close friends. (He has lots now.)
- Up-and-down moods, shifting from day to day, week to week, or month to month. Sometimes happy, adventurous and full of energy, other times existentially depressed.
