What is your personality/meyer-briggs type?

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Most badboys have the ESFP personality type, so probably a good one for attracting women.

Actually, there are strengths in each of the 16 types that could be leveraged for attracting women. Of course specific types of women (personalities) are attracted to each type. This is why knowing which types work well together and qualifying the women is so important. Ever wonder why some guys keep ending up with the wrong type of woman?

But there are studies I've seen showing that certain types have it much harder because number #1, they are much rarer in the population so it makes it hard to find a likeminded partner, and number #2 because their qualities may not be that attractive to most women. Take for example, INTx guys, INTPs and INTJs, neither one is more than 1 or 2 percent of the population, and their natural instinct is to communicated logically/factually and think analytically. But in the world of dating, it is hard to get anywhere with a woman if you cannot communicate well on an emotional/feelings level. Not saying it isn't possible, but it doesn't come naturally to INT guys who mostly live inside their heads and aren't naturally emotional people. I remember in The Game, style said many of the guys seeking their help were programmers, which is a field that INT guys gravitate too, so it's not a surprise. I'm willing to bet that few guys coming for PUA coaching were salesman, a job best done by ES types. Some personality types naturally have it tougher.

Simply put, there aren't different personality types. There are only people who haven't exercised different parts of their brain. Computer programmers stick with INTx because it's their strength and think that's just how they are. But if they went out and had ESFx experiences, as their brain built links they'd find out that they enjoy it and understand it and can get lost in the process just as much.

I'm an ENTJ...the most rare type...i'm so cool.

Sweet... get a prenup.

Nice to know

Yeah I'm not exactly the nerdy type, but it has its disadvantages. Being a bit of a jerk pushes them away sometimes.

I guess this is where Francisco's theory that certain personalities match with each other qualifies. I did notice that I can communicate a lot better with the personalities that are secure with themselves.. for instance.

I'll have to study these personality types a bit more. When I come to think of it a lot of things make sense now, if certain personalities do match better together than the others.

Whoever said that you had to be with a likeminded partner? You miss out on so many other opportunities. How many people do you know that would date a person just like themselves?

...
and number #2 because their qualities may not be that attractive to most women.

That's why I said that guys need to know the types of women who are attracted to their specific personality type. If a guy has a high batting percentage going against right handed pitchers who primarily throw fast balls, why would he feel that he would have the same success with a southpaw who throws sliders?

...
Take for example, INTx guys, INTPs and INTJs, neither one is more than 1 or 2 percent of the population, and their natural instinct is to communicated logically/factually and think analytically.

That's the drawback in putting a ton of weight on the premise of dating being a numbers game and using it against yourself.

But they are some of the most logical and analytical people. I don't know this for a fact but I would guess that Ross Jefferies is an INTJ. Guess what, he used his strengths in analysis to come up with a method which works for him. Guy's need to understand their strengths and learn how to use them no matter their personality type.

Enough excuses; everyone is capable, it's a matter of whether you are willing to do what's necessary.

I'm right with you. I communicate more freely with more interaction with with self assured people. People who are less outgoing typically sit back and observe and I will usually need bring them into conversations and almost give them a platform to expound upon. With the self assured people they tend to bounce around as easily as I do without a need for any help.

 

[Zhade]

INFP, with some T traits.

My god, a lot of sample INFP traits on most sites are COMPLETELY AFC. And I used to be like that. But it doesn't really matter what type you are, you can learn to be secure, confident, and logical if you work at it enough.

 

[TheNewGuy]

Entp

 

[Bonhomme]

ENFP, with the N/S and F/T tending to be very close, and the extroversion most pronounced in most tests I've taken. That has changed a lot from when I was very young.

 

[JLR]

I'm an INTP, if I recall correctly from the last time I took the test a year or so ago. I believe it wasn't "decisive" for falling into any of the dimensions. For example, even though I'm a --TP, I'm no robot that only takes in info to be processed--heck, I'm known to be a hothead at times and I've been called judgmental as well!!

 

[Street_Fighter]

I am an INTP;Introvert,Intuitive,Thinking,Percieving.Though I have many strong extraverted behaviors,such as adventure seeking,risk taking as well as enjoying the spotlight- though I enjoy my seclusion as well as my time off from the social scene,sometimes weeks as long as months before making my reappearance.I seem to attract many extroverts though they may be mistaking my aloofness and detatchment as coolness or something unobtainable,when in reality- I really don't want to be bothered by anyone on my personal time...
I have always been this way (loner mentality) though always aware and a few steps ahead of the social cirlce,don't know why but I have always been aware of it and it's fluidness enough to change with it and adapt as well

Interesting you say this. As a strong INTJ, I always answer to myself and anyone that asks the question, "What do you look for most in a woman"; that intelligence is #1. By a long shot! I'd love banging a 7 that has an IQ of 140-150 over a 9-10 with an IQ of 90-100 any day of the week. Intelligence is sexy to me. If I can't communicate with them and them have at least the ability to understand what I'm doing, it almost feels like rape to me.

This is one of the areas I disagreed with RT on. Looks isn't everything for me. In fact, it comes in at position #2. Besides, it would actually be as much, if not more so, consistent with Darwinian theory to prioritize intelligence over looks for the male or the female. Though a male wants to "spread his seed", why not spread it amongst the smart ones!

I feel much the same way as you. A girl who is very smart will actually start to look better to me, as if I just put on some sort of beer goggles, or at least triggering that same part of my brain that alcohol does when it makes average women look better.

Maybe INTJs are more evolved?

Huh, I find myself more attracted to intelligent women as well (I'm an INTP). A HB8+ w/ zero intelligence (or humor) is good for a shag or two, but not much more for me...

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Im an ESTJ. When i read the description it said im the person who follow rules and procedures.

What does this have to do with anything?

It probably said a little more than just that.

The ESTJ is probably the most likely of all types to be an Alpha male.
