I've lately gravitated to using a single key diagnostic for reading people: what behavior that you're normally capable of collapses under stress? You need the two sets of observations under distinct conditions to use this obviously, but it's one of the least noisy tests.

Typical relaxed --> stress transitions: INTPs lose foxy curiosity and turn into INTJ caricature hedgehogs. ENTPs lose capacity for affection/intimacy and turn into weak Field Marshal ENTJs Using Myers-Briggs for convenience (the test isn't dependent on a specific mdoel)

Here's where I think you're wrong. I don't think that people under stress fail into the nearest adjacent MBTI category Perhaps under microstresses? I see way more tendency for people to cross into a different macro quadrant in the 2x2

I think it's pretty messy, but the general rule seems to be something like TiNe flips to TeNi etc. iirc that's the calculus they use. I don't use their inference mechanism, just the language/labels

Probably both the phenomena we're talking about happen. When I first read your post I immediately thought "this sounds like enneagram-ish dynamics" and I recalled situations where I've seen people forced to perform/function way outside of their most intelligent roles

What you're pointing at makes sense, though, yeah. NT's and NFs under stress move away from their strong suits of either I/E, or P/J and conversely the SPs and SJs move away from their strong poles of I/E or N/T Yep...ok I'll buy that hypothesis for a dollar

please don't... it was funny one time, but definite book-keeping headache if people start doing it generally
