Thought I was an ENFP before going on ADHD medication

Light MBTI Discussion

I don't know if anyone else has a similar experience to mine, but prior to starting medication for my ADHD, I totally mistyped myself. I thought I was an ENFP, when I am the epitome of an ENTJ.

I suppose I thought that I couldn't be an ENTJ as my thinking wasn't structured well, leading to me executing tasks inefficiently and not orienting my goals properly.

I couldn't sit still or focus, emotional as my brain wasn't functioning properly, and I was dopamine-seeking which made me "spontaneous," (spoiler alert: just an alcoholic with no care for safety).

Was this a phenomenon for anyone else? And if so, what did you mistype yourself as?
