Hi! If u wouldnāt mind helping me out, Iām trying to figure out whether I use Se-Ni or Ne-Si, Iām fairly certain Iām ExTP 3w4. Thought I was ESTP but sensors Iāve met irl tend to be a lot more hands on & in the moment than me. Iām not v in tune to the physical world, ex. the light in my room flickers on/off sometimes & I donāt even notice it, my sister had to point it out to me. Iām terrible at sports/dancing bc I have poor spatial/bodily awareness. Other times certain sensory inputs are (1)
completely overwhelming to me & Iām v dramatic abt them, if something smells bad or Iām cold I have to get away asap or I get moody. Sometimes I put effort into my appearance but usually I donāt, I only want to impress specific ppl. I donāt particularly like being in charge but in group projects Iām always thrust into the decision making role bc no one else wants it & I just want to get it over with. When Iām not breathing down pplās necks things just go to shit -_- I avoid working harder (2)
than I have to & chose my major (animation) specifically bc itās fun/doesnāt feel like work & I wouldnāt have to write long essays/do math. Speaking of math I donāt like when things have 1 definitive answer & I donāt like things I canāt make relevant to myself. I preferred English/phil classes bc u can argue p much anything & Iām an expert bullshitter. Psych was fun until we had to learn actual chemicals/brain parts. I like looking at graphs/statistics & I love making lists. Idk what type my (3)
mom is but sheās constantly irritated by me bc I ask her questions she thinks I should just google, but I donāt rly care abt the answer, I just want to discuss. She also hates tht I talk abt what the world āshouldā be like, sheās just like āgo fix it thenā & it drives me crazy bc I wish I COULD but itās NOT that simple. I procrastinate a lot. I wouldnāt call myself a perfectionist but Iāll work at something until itās more than decent bc I hate letting people down. I hate when ppl watch me (4)
work, I only want them to see the result. Iām v risk averse (except when it came to my career path lol) & do everything I can to ensure I wonāt fail. I compare myself to others to see how I measure up. Iām always trying to improve myself; I think thatās why I dwell on my negative qualities so much & why I feel like Iām not living up to my potential. Iād rather impress ppl than serve ppl to gain their approval. Iāve always wanted to be famous & it shocked me when I found out most ppl donāt.(5)
The thought of having āfansā actually makes me uncomfortable but I want to elevate my social status to spite ppl who used to look down on me. I couldnāt stand just being average, I want to be undeniably important and worthy of love. I donāt rly know what I want in life besides this vague need to succeed. Iād be happy doing a variety of things, but I hate menial labor/repetitive tasks. I need alarms for everything bc I zone out so much; literally as I was writing this I was on a walk & had (6)
to sprint back home bc I forgot I had work until my alarm went off. My living space is a mess, Iām fine w it. I hate accountability (canāt drive, too much responsibility/possible crashing). I can form habits if I see a good reason for them, but consistency is hit or miss (sporadically eating healthy vs 100+ day duolingo streak). I have no respect for authority/tradition & only follow the law to avoid punishment. Ppl say Iām creative/funny but I think I mostly just combine/jump off other (7)
pplās ideas & improve them. When I write stories ppl complain there are no sensory details/phys descriptions. Ppl tell me Iām eccentric but Iām just doing my own thang idc abt social norms. Love thinking up unrealistic romantic scenarios, romance is my fave thing to talk about. I feel guilty talking abt my obsessions so much but I GOTTA. I donāt trust myself to judge myself accurately bc Iām always trying on new personas, but the things I talked abt here are all persistent traits (8)Ā

Hi anon,
So I do think you probably are a high Ne user from this, and 3 is possible, but I think youāre an ENFP - some of the traits, especially surrounding leadership, sound like theyāre coming from low Te; your attitude towards math (not that FPs canāt be good at math or TPs all like it, but TPs often do want a single answer and like the consistency of math even if theyāre not into it as a specialty) and the attitudes towards eccentricity and new personas seems more like Fi than lower Fe. Iām not totally positive, and your focus for this question was Ne vs. Se so you may have left out things that led you to type as a Ti-aux, but at the very least Iād recommend looking at aux Fi.
I would also look into 3w2 or 2w3 instead of 3w4 - the part about being important and worthy of love makes me think both 2 and 3 are involved in the core.
