If you had to choose another type...

**PHS Philip** · 10-11-2009, 01:09 PM

If you had to choose another type to be, which would it be (and why)?

**Synchronicity** · 10-11-2009, 01:13 PM

I'd probably go with INTP, which is my next-closest match. I really enjoy my INTJ qualities, but the Ps have an easier time with the theoretical and abstract, which I enjoy in certain fields of study.

**Synamon** · 10-11-2009, 01:29 PM

I quite like my Ni, so any of the other types with that function as dominant or auxiliary would be ok by me (INFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ) or the even the types with Ni as their tertiary (ISTP, ISFP).

**lincoln** · 10-11-2009, 01:34 PM

Istj just because I'd like things to be a little simpler. The intuitive function is a curse of sorts.

**Malkavia** · 10-11-2009, 02:43 PM

I can't let go of my type....

But on further thinking if I was forced to change I would choose either ENTP or ENFJ

**Vagrant** · 10-11-2009, 03:23 PM

ENTP... partially because they seem to have so much damn fun.

**The Psyentist** · 10-11-2009, 04:12 PM

INTP. Without a doubt. Maybe an ENTJ, but I think I'd prefer to be an INTP if I wasn't an INTJ.

**Latro** · 10-11-2009, 04:58 PM

I guess since I still kinda lack a definitive P/J axis I'd have to go with ENTx, and would probably favor ENTP over ENTJ. So...ENTP I guess. If I were definitively INTP or INTJ I'd favor the other one of the two, though. I don't think I could ever concede being NT.

**Takeru** · 10-11-2009, 07:15 PM

The P is something I wouldn't mind switching. The I is also something I wouldn't mind giving up... if it wasn't so hard to get away from it.
Taking this into account, it'll have to be an ENxJ. And what do you know... ENTJ is an Te Dominant type and ENFJ is a Fe Dominant type lol. This is the opposite of INTP and INFP.

I am more reluctant to trade the N and I really don't care too much about the FvsT.

Any S in my books has to be an I and a T though. So it'll have to be an ISTX.

**Elfrun** · 10-12-2009, 03:14 AM

ESFP baby! :rock-fingers:

T'is a sensors world, really if I had a do over any SF would be fine and normal, can't really imagine what it would be like and happy with who I am, but...

**Squirelznflight** · 10-12-2009, 09:26 AM

I like my current personality way too much to change, but if I had to, I'd go with ENTP. They rock.

**BostonIan** · 10-12-2009, 10:03 AM

ISTJ - Busy, unflaky, it would be nice to find detail more interesting.

**Prunesquallor** · 10-12-2009, 10:29 AM

ISTJ. They're so damn...competent.

**Solaris** · 10-12-2009, 01:04 PM

Type aside, I wouldn't change myself. I've worked long and hard to accept me for myself and understand who that is, there's no way I'd toss that out now.

**True Rune** · 10-12-2009, 02:52 PM

I am pretty much already an INTP, besides the nice little love for closure and the whole Ni thing. INTP.

**runoverazebra** · 10-12-2009, 03:47 PM

I think I would want to be INFJ. I think it's not a far stretch for me sometimes.

**Caedus** · 10-12-2009, 06:39 PM

I enjoy being a developed eNTJ too much to change types, though being an ENTP could be pretty fun as well!

**reckful** · 10-12-2009, 08:04 PM

I chose INTP, but I'd rather stay an INTJ.

**JYFly** · 10-15-2009, 02:35 AM

I've missed out on a lot of networking opportunities due to my introversion. I'd be an ENTJ.

**childofprodigy** · 10-18-2009, 03:20 PM

LOL? I can understand ENTJ....But INTP? what's so good about INTPs? (lol no offense to the INTPs lurking out there)

and I love the fact that only 6/55 voters (as of this moment) want to become a sensor

**Aiss** · 10-18-2009, 04:09 PM

^ I actually agree. The fact that depressed people are more likely to be mistyped as INTPs says something about the fun of it. If I could change my type I'd like to be ENTP, then INTP or INTJ, then ENTJ.

No S for me.

**stiletto** · 10-18-2009, 04:24 PM

INFJ. Ni factors in too much into my spiritual life, I don't like imagining myself without it... also, I think I could use a little more compassion and consideration for others, and tertiary Ti sounds cool.

**Samoan Corleone** · 10-18-2009, 05:10 PM

I'd chose ISTJ, because I really admire their work ethic. Keeping their head down, not finishing until the job is done, not being easily distracted, etc.

**Branden** · 10-19-2009, 01:10 AM

I like my type. Though it would be nice to be extroverted i think, ENTJ maybe? But in reality i like the idea that i am challenging to get to know, it sorta weeds out the unwanted folks from my life. Being so cold might be something i could give up if i was another type. Alas, i yam what i yam

**MrDoom** · 10-19-2009, 03:11 PM

Turning that I into an E would aid in my world domination aspirations. But I like being an INTJ too much.
