The Destructive ESFJ Destructive ESFJs are manipulative, controlling, and prone to gossip. They adopt the beliefs of the people around them and bully anyone who lies outside of that value system.
Deceitfulness and exceptional manipulative abilities are the most common traits among antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. It is the major feature found in the dark triad personality traits, particularly Machiavellianism.
ENFJ. ENFJs take the crown for the most manipulative personality type. ENFJs have high emotional intelligence and strong intuition. These combined make them very good at reading people and understanding their needs.
Type C personalities tend to be quite controlling, both of themselves and others. They don't like things to get out of hand and may appear stoic because they don't really want themselves to display a lot of emotion.
INTJ, INFP, and ENTP. (INTJ and INFP were explained in other answers). Though not an introverted type, ENTP would also be extremely hard to manipulate for two reasons.
Least Sensitive Type: ISTJ
Because they lack emotional sensitivity, ISTJs frequently choose to suppress their feelings in order to accomplish their goals. They frequently dismiss things and are not readily upset by others.
In short: INFJs are decisive, efficient, and organized while still being emotional, warm, and empathetic. They are also Introverted yet acutely sensitive to others' feelings and needs. These apparently contradictory characteristics make INFJs the most complex personality type.
“A person with a dominant personality type is assertive, courageous, proactive, and self-reliant,” she says. “They are focused and goal-oriented as well. These individuals carry themselves in a manner that is socially impressive and emanates positive vibes to others.”
1. ESFJ. People who fit the ESFJ personality type can usually be recognized by their big hearts and kindly manner. ESFJs are warm and welcoming and their love of tradition means they value good old-fashioned manners highly.
The ESTP and Dominance
ESTPs ranked as being highly dominant according to the CPI™ tool. This isn't surprising as they are known for their confidence, assertiveness, and direct nature.
Anyone can use manipulation tactics or any of the games listed here and not have a narcissistic personality disorder. The difference is that for someone with narcissistic personality, these behaviors aren't rare or situational. They're the way they function in relationships all the time.
Manipulative Behavior
Another common trait of narcissism is manipulative or controlling behavior. A narcissist will at first try to please you and impress you, but eventually, their own needs will always come first.
1. ESTP. ESTPs win the title for the most narcissistic personality type. That doesn't mean all ESTPs are narcissists, but this type is more likely to display narcissistic tendencies than any other.
ISFJs win the award for the most loyal personality type. They tend to be extremely committed and selfless in their relationships and put the needs of their loved ones first. ISFJs are known for being dependable, reliable, and supportive of those close to them.
Studies have shown that different personality traits adopt different strategies to influence or manipulate. For example, those who are high on extraversion (sociable, gregarious) and have an increased need for monitoring their public appearance, tend to use more varied influence tactics.
ESFJ. Those who are extroverted, sensing, feeling, and judging are among some of the most likable people, Sameera Sullivan, matchmaker and relationship expert, tells Best Life. They can be identified by their "warm disposition and big hearts," she says.
ISTP - Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, And Perceiving
People with the ISTP personality type are often described as hard to read.
Submissive personality traits:
Submissives are concerned with facts rather than emotion, and won't spend time getting to know you on a personal level. In conversation, submissives are serious, direct, and formal and often like to be dealt with at arm's length.
Of all the personality types, the ENFJ is often perceived as being the strongest "people person." They can forge friendships with all personality types, even with more introverted or reticent individuals.
ISFJ would probably be the most common submissive type, especially considering that it is the most common type in general. In my experience, INFJ is probably the 2nd most common. Then ESFJ, and lastly, ENFJ. These traits are especially pronounced depending on the way the person grew up.
The INFP may be the toughest personality type of all for others to understand. They are seemingly easy-going and carefree, but when it comes to their values, they can become suddenly uncompromising.
Among the "Big Five" personality traits, conscientiousness is especially predictive of living a longer life. The trait has also been linked to health-related behaviors such as smoking and sleep, which may help explain its link to longevity.
ISFJ: Soft-spoken
Although you are usually quite popular, you are also seen as the shy, sweet one (Rory from Gilmore Girls is an ISFJ, for example).
