Oh yeah, just in case you were worried, I took no personal offense whatsoever. I think one of the major advantages of the personality typing systems is that it helps me to be more conscious of *which* major weaknesses will jump up to bite me in the ass if I'm not careful.

Well, I was kind of reluctant to it since, you kno...

Well, I was kind of reluctant to it since, you know, I tend to the personality-types not known for emotional sensitivity and tending to step on people's toes and what have you (INTJ for the curious), so I want to emphasize that it's not a problem I see with ENF behavior in general, just when it goes awry, which is what I think happened.

I guess the shorter paragraph would be: I

Thanks for the follow up, brown shoes. I kind of suspected it was an (E)NF issue, and yeah, I can kinda relate. He-who-shall-not-be-named is *often* referencing his ENFP personality status, and it causes me great pain, since I am also *so* quintessentially ENFP in so many ways. Because part of the thing about that proverbial "sensitivity" is that we're kinda familiar with our own sensitivity/

I was mostly just thinking, purtek, that your description of how some people have a hard time with boundaries and essentially feel compelled to take on the emotions of others, with or without consent - that sounds like ENF behavior gone awry, especially when it becomes suffocating and overwhelming.

Especially in the cases of the J-type where they feel compelled to become leaders of

I'm interested in the connection to Myers-Briggs, too. The questionnaire-based M-B personality inventories tend to give results that seem eerily insightful.

Thanks, belle! :)

brown shoes, which temperaments are those that would have those characteristics? Sometimes I find personality sorting really useful, so I'm curious.

If you buy into the Myers-Briggs sorts of ideas, then that fits pretty well with which "temperaments" are believed to have those characteristics, and the people I'm thinking of who have both those traits and "temperaments". In short, it all kind of makes sense, at least to me.
