Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

INFJs have loads of inner demons, which is why we can resonate with all the sick puppies out there and be the counselor. We can understand others, but others would be scared of the shitload of...

(1)By catering to the Ni loneliness both types share. (2)By holding your own with them in debate. They will respect you for it.

Persistent.

Almost got me there. It is still Te, albeit operating in Rational Irrationality. When there is benefit in being irrational or epistemically lazy, people will rationally choose to be irrational,...

Disagreements happen, but that is besides the point. It does not contradict the means-ends and uncertainty elements of human action. But if you just wanted to know how I would behave in the gray...

What satisfies people is their own business, even if it is not pragmatic. Ends are ends, they are the goals to personal satisfaction(direct and indirect); and since personal satisfaction is...

If I may consider your answer as a rebuttal, predation and devouring ourselves are human actions in themselves, also subject to uncertainty in the ends-means framework, which cannot be devoid of Te.

I don't think so. Most of what we do to survive, we don't know the inner intricate workings of. We just do it and experiment accordingly despite the uncertainty; and to cope with such...

lol, I doubt any one of us can live in a world devoid of the scientific method(Te).

Well, I always could answer all your points individually if that was what you wished to get out of me.

It's a difficult circle to break, but you can do it by applying the concept of performative contradiction. A person expressing the sentence I do not use language is contradicting himself by his...

Not to a plan or schedule, but ideas, yes. Which translates into on & off commitment(at times lukewarm, at times intense depending on my energy level) till the goal is reached.

Against the worship of State sovereignty, the fountainhead of institutionalized coercion and violence, the deadliest religion in the world, . It has been stated by Jung that since most people are...

Language in itself is a set of inter-subjective values(Fe), so we are engaging in Fe just by the act of speaking or writing to each other as recognized by universal pragmatics. Even if one would...

Why I have Ni as dominant function? I do not know. I started being aware of it since 7 when independently arriving at Descarte's evil demon hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_demon ...

A world without external values is incapable of communication and language. Language is a public, inter-subjective collection of external values, therefore without Fe(external values), talking and...

Your slightly disconnected(Ni) courteousness towards others (Fe) looks pretty INFJ. Search YouTube channels:cognitive types, djarendee and davesuperpowers To get quick crash courses on the...

Best way to learn is through contrast. Universal values(Fe) are projected outwards in contrast to personal values(Fi) that are reserved inwards. Fe is also paired with Ti(logical consistency),...

Means you got some extra love there your fiance has to deal with:wink::wink: Let's hope she can handle it.

Love, yes; understanding, no.

We are in a period of history that rewards opportunism over wisdom, so experimental Se would have a slight upper hand now over Ni. Se presumes less while Ni would be a bit stubborn, not conducive to...

Ideas come and go. Money has more to do with Se facts and execution than Ni intuition.

An interpreter of the ineffable.

From what I gather, Fi is existential(existence precedes essence),their core motives are irrational, no matter how elaborate the logical schemes.

That it is unwise to extend privilege to the unworthy. It damages their already fragile moral fiber. When the cost of being wrong is low, or maybe even subsidized, further subsidization only...

The goal is not to care less, but to care rationally and proportionately to our own means. Regarding the market, if you believe it evil, making money and giving them to just causes would be...

What you think of yourself is your own business. What you are to the world is discovered through interacting with it via action.

Words ought to mean something, otherwise not spoken at all.

On intuition & empathy, either I'm just flippin', or most people around me live in denial, lying right to my face when I analyze their predicaments.

Ni bestows a peculiar worldview onto the INFJ. If the INFJ's worldview does not click with the outside world, he may timid and withdrawn; but when it does click, sparks may fly, making us seem...

um, I heard that socionic INFj is actually INFP for MBTI, and MBTI INFJ is socionic INFp.

Spot on. There's a recent post discussing INFJs looking naive and being talked to like children, which I think is the result of us hiding our Js to keep the peace. Keeping the J down requires...

He's probably sure about his feelings towards you but confused regarding his other impulses and overthinking.

One way you can know is from your inferior Se, which sometimes manifests as an irrational thrill seeking impulse. I'm not suicidal, but when in high places, I feel the urge to jump just for the...

Slow, obvious and possibly murderous if people cross certain extremely basic moral thresholds. But they are sure to get ample warning beforehand.

Same here as 9w1 also. Really hate it when I feel like the only one holding the correct on a certain urgent matter, and that it is up to me to make things happen, since no one else cares. But hey,...

I'm the guy going around acting ESFJ.

Yes, people mistake my positive cheerfulness as naivety. Some even talk down on me.

A moral cause that is logically thought out(in other words, your personal system) could act as a bulwark against negative emotions when your energy level runs low. It stabilizes your emotions and...

A group is comprised of individuals held together by common values. Common values are brought about by mutual consent. So , on big we can get, it can universally encompass all rational beings...

Social justice would be perfect if the definition were not so ambiguous and easily manipulated by special interests.

In print and writing, yes. In person, no.

Weak Se. Outward accomplishments don't yield you as much stimulation as for Se dominant ESTPs. We derive more stimulation from imagining things(Ni) contra actually executing them out in...

Once held a job doing major disproportionate work, all the time convincing myself that I'm cool with it. Had an episode like yours 8 months in, tears came out of the blue and they just kept on...

Maybe I presume too much of your politics, but here's a guy that spent 30 years handling political differences and trying to persuade the country he loves, a situation somewhat similar to yours. ...

Ni/Se vs Si/Ne Ni is an abstract map of possibilities which you explore literally with Se. Si is a literal map which you explore abstractly with Ne.

It's somewhat difficult to find people with Ni that resonate at our level, so yes, low resonance with a lot of people. Of appearances, I favor bright Ne eyes and the authentic Fi smile.

Prediction Market Since they don't differ much in policy, the more practical question would be who you're going to buy. From what I gather, buy Obama, sell Romney and turn a profit(gotta use Ni...

Authentic laughter and smile.'
