: I think it sounds strange that she should "act" like an N, I can't believe that.

Why not? To her, the S trait sounds stodgy, and she's embarrassed about being that way. See your comment at the bottom.

: Just as I can sound like an ESFJ in real life, I am sure she can seem like
: an ENTP, whitout pretending( but she's your shadow, so you are likely
: to project evil...)

I don't think she's pretending at all. I think she's convinced herself and then cultivates those traits.

:She could be an ESFJ-ENFP. Just as you can be an INTP-ISTJ That's :really quite possible.

Umm, don't think so.

: It's to easy to limit people down to one MBTI type, I think we share atleast two.

That makes no sense to me. Maybe if you're talking about the Enneagram--people having more than one basic fear/motivation, which also it fits with how people test and behave. But MBTI is exclusive by its very structure.

: I think the author of the types have made the N types to favored, and
: the way they are described they might seem better than the S's, that's to bad...

Yes, that's probably the issue.
