Are You Good at Creating Distractions, Based on Your Personality Type
There are some situations where you need a good distraction, sometimes because you are upset about something and want to think about a more pleasant reality. Some people are great at providing these distractions for those around them, and just know how to divert attention elsewhere. Here is how good you are at creating distractions, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs don’t usually find themselves naturally wanting to seek distractions, they initially try to show their support. If someone they love makes it clear that what they really need is to neglect their problems and focus on something else, they can be surprisingly good at doing this. INFJs simply want to be sure it what this person really wants, since they don’t want it to seem like they are insensitive to their feelings. They are actually good at distracting people since they have so much going on inside of their minds already, and so they often try to take their loved ones away by laughing or discussing one of their many thoughts.
ENFJ
ENFJs do their best to make others happy, and so if someone needs a good distraction they will give it their all. They usually are good at understanding people and their personal needs, which helps the ENFJ create unique distractions for each person. If someone they love needs to go out and have a good time, they will plan a great get away for them. If this person simply needs to laugh and be distracted with some one on one time, the ENFJ will provide this as well. They will often tailor it to each person and so this helps them create a unique experience for them.
INFP
INFPs are often easily distracted themselves and have minds that take them in many different directions. This is something which helps the INFP create distractions or escapes for their friends and loved ones when it is needed. It does depend on the current mood of the INFP though, and if they are currently feeling capable of distracting someone or if they are personally feeling emotionally drained and need some sort of catharsis.
ENFP
ENFPs are great at creating distractions and finding ways of getting someone’s mind to go elsewhere. They enjoy being able to help their loved ones feel happier, and so they want to take their mind somewhere more comforting. ENFPs enjoy having a good time and will have so many different ideas and things they can talk about or participate in. This creativity is truly helpful when they are trying to help their loved ones distract themselves.
INTJ
INTJs might not fully recognize when someone is looking for a distraction and so they need people to be a bit more direct with them. At the same time they do enjoy helping their loved ones, they just need them to be clear about their needs, since INTJs aren’t good at naturally reading the emotions of others. If someone they love needs a distraction they will do their best to take their mind elsewhere and can often come up with plenty of topics and they are often surprisingly willing to go somewhere to get their mind off things.
ENTJ
ENTJs care about their loved ones and so they want to be able to help them if they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed. ENTJs just aren’t great at knowing what someone else needs, since they cannot naturally read their emotions. For the ENTJs to be capable of providing a distraction, they need that person to make their desires clear. As long as the ENTJ knows that a distraction is needed, they can often come up with different ways to get their mind off their struggles by going out and blowing off some steam.
INTP
INTPs have a hard time really sensing when someone wants to be distracted, especially since they are naturally in tune with the emotions of others. At the same time INTPs do want to be helpful, they just don’t always know how. For them it often seems more useful to try and solve the problem, and so they might not really know what the best distraction is. They can provide support and are great listeners, they also will be willing to try new things in order to bring tomsone a sense of comfort or distraction.
ENTP
ENTPs are often great at creating distractions, and this is probably more natural for them than just listening to someone complain about their problems. For the ENTP creating some sort of distraction to get their minds off of what is going on, is something they are skilled at. They are creative people and so this helps them come up with new ideas, whether this be different activities or simply subjects they can discuss in detail.
ISTJ
ISTJs are naturally focused on solving problems and so creating distractions might not be their greatest talent. ISTJs want to get things done and if someone is struggling they will want to step in and find a way to fix it. For them it is much easier to focus on the practical aspects of a situation, and so they might seek to fix whatever their loved ones are struggling with, instead of finding ways to blow it off for a while. For the ISTJ this often seems like the best way to really care for others, and so it comes from a good place.
ESTJ
ESTJs sometimes struggle with finding distractions since they are naturally more inclined to fix whatever problem is in front of them. If someone they love is upset the ESTJ wants to find a way to solve this problem and make the situation better. Sometimes this causes them to struggle with realizing that their loved ones just want support and to find a distraction to keep them from getting too upset over the problem in that moment.
ISFJ
When someone the ISFJ loves is in trouble or is upset about something, the ISFJ often wants to go right into fix it mode. They try to find a way to solve the problem and so sometimes this isn’t what other people are really searching for. While ISFJ can be good at creating distractions, they don’t always realize that this is what someone really needs. This is simply because they feel like the best way to make their loved ones feel better, is by fixing whatever is wrong.
ESFJ
ESFJs might go straight into fixing their loved ones problems, wanting to find a way to make the situation better. If they realize that what is needed is a distraction, ESFJs are actually really good at creating them. They want to do whatever they need to in order to make their loved ones happy, and will go above and beyond to do so. The ESFJ will find a way to create distractions but they also want to show their support in whatever way is necessary.
ISTP
ISTPs are good at creating distractions often by finding some sort of activity to take part in. They are good at finding different exciting things in order to help those around them feel more engaged. ISTPs aren’t naturally good at dealing with emotions and so creating distractions is actually something they are more comfortable with. If someone expresses that they really need to get their mind off of their troubles, the ISTP often knows just how to do this.
ESTP
ESTPs are often great at distractions, mostly because they enjoy finding new and exciting things to experience. For them creating a distraction often means going on some sort of adventure and finding an activity they can dive into. This helps the ESTP really immerse themselves into something new, and it gets their mind off of whatever is upsetting them. They are also good at doing this for their loved ones, especially since they enjoy having someone to go on these adventures with.
ISFP
ISFPs are good at distracting themselves and they enjoy providing this for their loved ones as well. Sometimes they find distractions in art, music or simply finding some sort of fun outdoor activity. ISFPs might become drained after a while though and they distractions don’t always last too long. They enjoy being supportive for their friends but they often need time to themselves in order to recharge and feel like themselves.
ESFP
ESFPs definitely know how to create a good distraction, especially since they do this naturally all of the time. They understand when someone just wants to run away from their problems and so they do their best to help.
