I just typed my Nan as an ISFJ. I've been going through a bit of a bad patch lately but she's always been there for me when I've needed it the most. So yeah, just wanted to say I think you guys...
The earlier ones were recorded on a digital 8-track which was OK for laying down ideas but not as versatile as I wanted. Now I use a M-Audio KeyStudio 49i as an audio interface for my laptop....
There's actually a theory that autistic people could be overwhelmed by an excess of empathy. My brother has an official diagnosis of Asperger's. He has a lot of empathy and a very strong social...

Thank you! :) Nope, just me by my lonesome. I've tried forming bands/playing with other people in the past but it doesn't seem to work very well. I'm kind of a perfectionist about my music but I'm...

I think the term disorder is generally only applied when it's causing problems in your life. You might meet diagnostic criteria, but if you and those around you are perfectly happy, by definition...
Here's some of my stuff. It's all hosted on Soundcloud. This is an instrumental which seems to be my most popular track I really liked the feel of the recording of this song A Grizzly Bear...
Yeah, I've often wondered about this. I've been diagnosed with depression but I have really strong, rapid mood swings which are more suggestive of bipolar or borderline and I meet a lot of criteria...

I love the idea of an illicit relationship and the excitement of sneaking around. Especially with someone like an older university lecturer. Pretty unfortunate for a morally conscious INFP. I dunno,...
I'd love to write a novel cos I think it would be one of the best ways to communicate my thoughts and feelings but everytime I come up with a concept, I develop it a bit in my head and realise it's...

Yes, I've met some arrogant Ts who have assumed I'm stupid based on first impressions. Jokes on them though cos I'm probably more capable of rational thought than most of them. Preference =/=...
Oh god this is so true. I find other girls especially can be patronising towards me which is irritating. I've had boys do it as well, seemingly thinking I'm some cute brainless thing. On the other...
I have very strong liberal values but I don't always speak out when someone violates them basically because of self-preservation. I don't deal very well with spontaneous debates because although I...
Most of the people in the indie music society at university could be classified as hipsters. There was one guy who was at the epicentre of loads of them but he wasn't that hipster-ish himself. He was...
I think the ratio of types is what it is because it's an evolutionarily stable state (ESS). If you decreased the amount of any one type, their value in society would be disproportionately high,...

Yep. One of my all time musical heroes. Speaking of music, listening to some of your stuff on Youtube. It's awesome! Edit: D'oh

I love slightly unusual names but I'm not sure I'd name a child anything too odd because if they're anything like me they'd hate all the extra attention.
Feeling connected to someone. Music, whether listening to it, playing it or writing it. Learning theories of how things work. Looking at pretty things. Solving puzzles.

I've been reading about Aspergers and I've seen it stereotyped as an INTP or INTJ thing but a lot of the traits seem to be extreme forms of the INFP personality. I score quite highly and was curious...
Just personality wise? In no particular order; Intelligence. I'm pretty smart myself and the idea of going out with someone who isn't my equal in that respect is a big turn off. Sense of...
Wow, I'm quite surprised to hear that some INFPs don't like making eye contact at all. It's one of my favourite ways of communicating with people. Without meaning to sound mental, you can tell so...
My favourite comedy is The League of Gentlemen which is extremely dark. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, it's a British sketch show/sitcom which ran about 10 years ago and involves a cast of...
Ahh, thank you all. Seems pretty conclusive! :happy:
He's taken two tests and come out as ISFJ in one and INTJ in the other so I'm a bit confused about what he really is. He has a tight knit group of friends who he can be totally himself around....
I'm at uni and I've met of a lot of other NFs through the university indie music society. Probably sounds all pretentious, but it's really not. Just a bunch of people who really love their music. Two...
I think it's partly trying to maintain good relationships with people and partly how much I hate any sort of confrontation, but sometimes I find it really difficult to express how I'm feeling,...
This is all so true! I've been incredibly drawn to this as well, but more so since my teenage years hence I didn't mention it in my earlier post. I've often heard of musicians who go wild on stage...
I wanted to be a palaeontologist or an astronomer when I was a kid. I think both of them provided a sort of escapism from the here and now for me.
I recently spoke to my friend about personality types and he took a test and turned out to be an ENFJ. However, he hates the idea of being pigeon-holed as a particular type of person and doesn't see...
Yessss... I came to this thread to mention him! I am somewhat smitten!
Of my favourite artists, I reckon these are the ones most likely to appeal to INFPs generally due to either lyrics or just the emotion in the music. Hope you like! Elliott Smith Joanna Newsom...
Yeah, I definitely agree that I have T tendencies but as strong as they may be, the F is even stronger. It's good to know I'm not totally alone though! It's pretty nasty when the logic doesn't fit...
