Question #1230749190Wednesday, 31-Dec-2008
Category: ESTp INFp
What are the differences in the ways ESTp's and INFp's view the world? -- Simon the INFp
Your Answers: 1+
A1 We INFPs care more about personal satisfaction as oposed to immediate gratification. -- -INFP
A2 Sorry, I meant how do they react to what they see, e.g. what they see on the news, etc. Also I forgot to ask about the similaritis... -- Simon the INFp
A3 We INFPs take in the world through our extraverted intuition, then our intraverted feeling tells us how we feel about it. Basically, we don't care as much about what is as what it actually means to us. ESTPs take in the world through their extraverted sensing (they want to experience everything they can!), and their intraverted thinking tells them what they think will be worth experiencing. Needless to say, the two can be highly annoying to each other at times, as the INFP's perceptions are based mainly on what cannot be seen but only grasped as concepts, and ESFPs could usually care less about anything that doesn't pertain to the real world and what can be experienced with the five senses. Hope this helps, friend. -- INFP

A4 @A3 - I think you're talking about MBTI, not Socionics. MBTI and Socionics are the same for Extraverts, but they're backwards from each other when it comes to Introverts. So while INFP in MBTI is extraverted intuition (Ne) and introverted feeling (Fi) like you said, in Socionics an INFp (note the lower-case "p" in Socionics) is actually introverted intuition (Ni) and extraverted feeling (Fe). What you described is actually a Socionics ENFp. A Socionics INFp is more like an MBTI INFJ. -- Krig (INTj)
