INFJ Jumper Self Typing (OPS 9 Coins)


When I take an online personality test (MBTI), like at 16Personalities, Truity or Personality hacker, I usually come out INFJ or INTJ. From reading the descriptions of these two types and from knowing the cognitive functions it's quite clear to me that I'm not an INTJ. I feel much more at home in the INFJ box. 



But not completely. On the one hand, many descriptions of the INFJ fit me like a glove, but, on the other, some not at all. This is why I kept searching and eventually found the Objective Personality System and the INFJ Jumper.



 

It was immediately clear to me that I was a Jumper, that I was respecting my third function (Introverted Thinking) instead of my second (Extraverted Feeling). But I never really bothered to type myself all the way down to the most granular level of the OP system, down to the 512 types. 

Now that I understand the system better, hopefully good enough to be able to type myself correctly, I decided to give it a shot. So here goes.



9 Coins

I'm using below video as a starting point. I don't think it's the absolute latest iteration of the 9 coins, but it will do.



As I'm sitting down to write this I have (not surprisingly) already typed myself, but I will try and walk you through the process as though I hadn't. 

I tried to "forget" my presumably known parts and pretend I didn't  know the OPS system very well and focused on the terms/information available in the video/list.... at least when starting off.





I started by going through the coins one by one to see if there were any obvious ones from the get go.

  • Observer vs. Decider
This one isn't immediately clear to me. The terminology used for this particular video doesn't help me much. Don't know if I feel stuck more often than I feel judged. Not particularly afraid of being killed or put in prison (afraid of dying though). Don't think I'm very involved with the people game either? I think I have an explanation to why this coin is so difficult, but we'll get to that later.

  • Oi vs. Oe
Introverted or Extraverted Observer? Easy. Oi. 

Options open? Not a chance. I'm a narrowing-down,  refuse-to-gather-new perfectionist. 

  • Di vs. De
Introverted or Extraverted Decider? First instinct is to choose Di. But I wouldn't bet my life on it. I do have a strong sense of fairness. And with the tribe I often shut down my ego to avoid conflict. But I'm not sure that I respect others. I'm the worst team player. I hate having to do anything together with others. Whatever concessions Fe has had me make, they will mean nothing as soon as I'm by myself again. 

Leaning towards Di, but not conclusive at this point.

  • Sensing vs. Intuition
I'm easily Intuition over Sensing. I hardly know where I am most of the time. Have to write details down if I am to remember them. Physical reality is not my responsibility.

  • Feeler vs. Thinker
Same situation as with Di vs. De. Not immediately clear. If I'm in a social setting, the situation can make me take responsibility for the vibe if no one else takes it. But I don't want it. What I do want is to get back to building the logic of my internal Ti-system. 

Inconclusive.

  • Sleep vs. Play
Sleep first, Play last. NEXT!

  • Consume vs. Blast
Probably Consume over Blast. If I'm forced to talk (force is necessary if alcohol isn't involved) it's in Blast mode. No Play give-and-take. But I don't think I go from Sleep preserving energy directly to Blast. I usually never get that far. I usually stay in Consume-land, learning more about a subject I already know well.

But not entirely sure at first glance.

  • Fem-S vs. Mas-S
Yeah, I could never get away with Masculine Se. My memory (if you can even call that a memory) has no chronology whatsoever. I'm the last guy over the fence. I move for physical reality, physical reality does not move for me.

Def Fem-S.

  • Fem-De vs. Mas-De
Avoiding conflict is all I do with the tribe. Definitely Fem-De.



Wrapping It Up

OK, so what've we got so far? Introverted Observer and Intuition, that makes Ni. Sleep first, Play last. Masculine inner world (Ni + Di). Feminine on the outside. 

In OPS terminology that makes:

FF Ni/Di Sx/x(P) or FF Di/Ni Sx/x(P)

How to proceed? Well... I know that I'm a Feminine Feeler. I'm uncool. And giggly. But when it comes to thoughts... a whole other matter. So, if I'm a Feminine Feeler and a Feminine De, I'm Fe. And if I'm Fe, I'm Ti. And I know I'm not Ti first, because that would make me unbelievably intelligent, so gotta be FF Ni/Ti Sx/x(P). 

Only thing that remains now is to mark Consume and Blast on the map. Then we're done!

I can't be a hundred percent sure, but I am fairly positive that I'm Consume over Blast. If so, that would make me double activated on my Ti, which would explain why I've always been somewhat unsure when it comes to whole Observer vs. Decider question: I seem to be unbalanced with both Things and People! And that's because I am. Being a INFJ Jumper with Sleep first and double activated Ti is like being a turtle with two legs. Don't get me wrong, there are some great benefits of the Ni/Ti combination, but it really isn't the best type for tackling every day life.

Understanding the Objective Personality Animals

Objective Personality is an actor on the personality psychology stage, who, by building upon the already well established Myers-Briggs system, aims to give it more scientific credibility.  In their pursuit of objective typing OP have introduced some intriguing new concepts, which, combined, divides the original 16 MBTI types into a total of no less than 512 discrete types (32 subtypes to each original Myers-Briggs type). The first of these concepts - “ Jumping ” - changes the order in which we respect our cognitive functions (our second “savior” function is replaced by our third function) and effectively splits the original type into two.   The second concept (and focus of this article) is called the “ Animals ”. In essence, each of the four OP Animals (“Play”, “Blast”, “Consume” and “Sleep”) is a duo of cognitive functions working together to create a behavior.  The order in which we exhibit these four behaviors further divides the two parent subtypes - let's call...

INFJ Jumper

What, exactly, is the difference between a Standard  INFJ  and the subtype  Objective Personality  has chosen to call a " Jumper "? In what way will respecting  Introverted Thinking  over  Extraverted Feeling  affect the traits and behaviors of the  INFJ ? This article will unravel the hazy intricacies of the INFJ Jump. It will take you all the way from take-off to landing. You say "Jump" and we say "where to?" and "where from?" and possibly also "how far?"... Where did we Land? Ok, so we've made the Jump. We've packed our bags and waved goodbye to the woods, the fields and the little rivers of our beloved  NF-homeland . And now... yes, now what? Where we at, exactly? Well, not in Kansas, as someone famously put it... Nope, this is  NT-country . Nerd-country. Or, in somewhat more flattering terms, Analyst-country.  Here we will find ourselves roaming the witswept highlands of exploratory logic in the inventive company of the...

INTJ vs. INFJ Jumper

If you're unsure of your type and have been throwing glances at what Objective Personality calls an INFJ Jumper , chances are you've also considered being an INTJ. And kudos to you if you have! Because comparing the INFJ to the INTJ is exactly the kind of comparison you should be making, seeing as the types actually have a functional axis in common: Ni (Introverted Intuition) / Se (Extraverted Sensing) .  Comparing the INFJ to , for example, the  INFP based solely on the letters common to the acronyms would've been plain wrong (and this is why). But never mind that, this isn't your normal type comparison anyway... we will be focusing on Thinking .  Because that's why we're here right? We're here because we're thinking ourselves right out of the INFJ box. We need to move. Either we move down into the finer grains of the OP concepts (i.e. INFJ Jumper), or sideways into the entirely different box of INTJ. So... why is the comparison between the INFJ ...
