I am type 2. A lot of people tell me I must not be an INFJ. They think I am an ENFJ until they get to know me better and see me in private. I may put on a good show, but underneath is this lonely person with doubts about my own abilities. Just this past week someone told me that I sounded unsure about something I am working on for a presentation .I want to do it, I just don't want people to use it cafeteria style to hurt others. That gives me hesitation.
I am type 2 as well. However, after spending 20 years in rooms of recovery, I had ample time to polish my rough edges, and hone my skills even further. The Pandemic sealed the deal for me. In order to be recognized for anything, in recovery, I had to be the chameleon, and "people please," 2 dirty words in recovery. I decided I could not be a hypocrite, and liar, and a fake in recovery, here in Montreal. If i stepped out of my Vulcan Box, people would run in the other direction. I see little bits of a lot of what is in this video, however, not to their detrimental endings. I went to university (as an older student in recovery) as well. Neither experience did anything but force me to face the fact that I did not want to be like many people I came in contact with day in and day out. And having lived out the entire pandemic in Montreal alone, I knew i was done with people.
I am the 2nd one mentioned for sure. I come across as an extrovert but truly I am not. I host a podcast, have performed my own poetry on stage, have acted, danced on stage, and even was an improv comedian giving live performances with a comedy troupe. I was even a cheerleader in high school. but truly I am an introvert even though I am a performer.
thank you for this video... i must say that i have been... currently am... i think i will continue... to be all of these... when thinking of all possibilities of out comes one can get a better understanding if one is like that of what you are judging... not to say that i am flip flopping... but there has been moments in my life where i can reflect... and can say honestly i have experience all of these traits even the bad ones... i dont act the same i did in my teenage years nor like i did in my 20's... i am now 34... and do not exercise those traits that are not popular... but i must point out that it is better to be a warrior in a garden then a gardener in a war... so those traits that are "negetive" can also be a positive... when applied in a way of what not to do or nor want to do anymore...
Hmm.. that didn't help much in terms of confusion - I recognize myself in all four of the subtypes you've described 😕 so how does it work? can one hold mixed traits of different subtypes? or is it that one can shift from one subtype to another over the years? or is it that for different aspects of life different subtype traits will be more prominent? or all of the above?

I'm more the first type and somewhat also a third type. ❤
I'm clearly the academic philosopher 💜
