Which types do you dislike/have trouble with?

Has there been a lot of bad talk about Estps or is it just me?


I kind of get a grab bag with them some are awesome some are bad like.

I dunno I have more of a problem with a subjectivly defined type of people those who are too dogmatic or what not.

not a type per se.

I don't really dislike any types, but I do have difficulty relating to Fi types.

All types have their good points and bad points. As people, I've learned, and still learning, just how much variation there is, and that for the most part, what I may like or not like about a person may not have anything to do with their personality, especially not their MBTI personality type specifically, but of some element of who they are and how we relate.

That being said, there is truth to patterns and people, and the MBTI typology system does contain some nuggets of truth when it comes to compatibility - especially over the long term - in a very general sense. For instance, although I can get along with most people who type xSTJ and xSFJ, I find the interaction only goes so far and it feels as though any little issue can blow up into something unintentionally greater than needed. I walk on eggshells for some reason with a lot with Si-dominant and Si-aux types. I find Intuitives, by and large, much easier to communicate with and enjoy their company more often. Se-aux types, I've been surprised over time, I've grown to have a lot more appreciation for than I once thought. And for some reason, people of my own type, INFJs, I've honestly grown more cautious and even frustrated with[not going to mention any names from the forum here...], even though the ones I like are some of my all-time favorite people. All in all, it depends on the person and not the type - and with that, here's my rankings list:

16. ISTJ
15. ESTJ
14. ISFJ
13. ESTP
12. ESFJ
11. ESFP
10. ENFJ
9. ISFP
8. ENTP
7. INFP
6. ENTJ
5. INTJ
4. INFJ
3. ISTP
2. INTP
1. ENFP
 
I have found I can morph myself to get along with anyone as I value all types individually. Outside of a work setting if you sit me down with anyone one on one (where you eliminate competition and take that out of play) they tend to like and get along with me. Almost everyone I have ever met has their strengths and weaknesses and I can quickly and easily hone in on their strengths and find the good in them. The only time I get upset is when my own personal boundaries are pushed and that tends to only manifest when they feel they have to remove me as a competitor. Why some types focus on this as something extremely important is beyond me as I tend to approach everything as though we need each other in life so competition is never my first and only thought process, instead I value harmony, understanding, and compassion. But you take competition away and I gladly like and get along with anyone.

I find it has less to do with “type” and more to do with who they are as a person. Kind people I will gravitate towards, those looking for attention or to show dominance, control, and intimidation I back away as a place of self preservation as I have dealt with that entirely too much so I will back away and keep my distance because I have found that it’s generally not worth my trouble trying to play on their good side because the more you do so, the more they demand and then they end up draining me. Energy vampires can sometimes suck the life and fun right out and with me being a Gemini who loves and adores having fun and being happy, it’s definitely not fun for me.
 
I just have to say this, but I have far less confidence in typing people (that I don't know super well) than I do in my own self-typing.

Typically, I can get along with most people (and almost everyone in one-on-one conversations). However, the one type that seems to end up causing me problems is ENTJ. Something about Te that largely works against me. They can also be bullies against people who are not "normal" for lack of a better term.

Same. I rarely ever type other people as I tend to want to learn from them and I feel purposely typing people is short sighted because it doesn’t allow you an open your mind as much, as you are getting to know and learn more about them. Putting ppl in boxes and labeling them devalues them as a person because people are generally way more complex than that however with that in mind, I might do so on a subconscious level if I care about them wishing to know more about them but never with direct intention for the purpose of using or manipulating them. It’s usually on a subconscious level to try to pick up on their likes and wants so I can give them a compliment if I feel that would work best for them or buy them a gift if I feel that would make them feel valued more so it’s usually coming from a place of positive rather than negative. I know that can also be referred to as yin and yang but I get the two confused. Anyways I fully do believe in the mantra that what you give out in the world you get back. I don’t know that I believe in karma exactly as too many times I feel sometimes ppl can get away with too much since justice is a whole different section altogether that I can contribute so much talk about, in and of itself, but for the most part if you give out good I do believe good comes back to you so everything I do in life from serving people to giving orders in a managerial position I’ve done with a smile on my face since I tend to recognize everyone’s value within a company or an environment.
