'This is a final post. It is for the record. I don't need to do this, it's easier not to. But for anyone seriously interested in Jungian psychology perhaps it will be useful. But writing this out...
Coming to terms? I love it! C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, Soren Kierkegaard, Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, St. Augustine, among others! AND, a rich and a beautiful lens by which to view reality as we...
I call bullsh*t. Logic is essential to my value system. It's also telling that he says these people. Sounds like a pejorative. My whole value system is nearly all internally logical and it's...
Figured out I must be INFP just by understanding the functions in a new way. I hope it also proves that INFP are not necessarily stupid or irrational by any means. Relevant thread:...
Heck, I just figured out I'm Fi dominant thanks to pondering this issue. And I hope that it proves that INFP are not stupid just because we're Fi dominant. We just cogitate on values endlessly.
I get that emotions are not cognitive functions. What I'm saying is that emotions are like an epiphenomenon, except of value based reasoning due to a valuer being required to make a value based...
I would argue that Te or Ti judgements have an impact emotionally only when value is attached to them. For example, let's say I envison a new type of helecopter design by Te or Ti. I could feel...
Yes, but wouldn't values based judgements have more emotional impact than non-value based judgements? Especially as concerns people-based values? Fi and Fe are rational but about value judgements...
If emotions are not in the realm of cognitive functions then why are F types more emotional by stereotype?
Actually, I regret posting this at all. DELETED CONTENT, but question posed by replier is still relevant
Interesting. This would put me in the INFP camp. But here's the problem: I can logically justify my system of universal morality. At least in a Ti fashion (once the foundational truths are accepted...
Thanks, I'll reply in more detail when I have the time but that is helpful. I have some issues with jungian typology myself but I can give rational and objective reasons for them. I still see...
I'm pretty sure that 99.999999% of this site didn't read it either but I didn't read 99.999999% of this site either, LOL. That's how forums like this work. And that's ok because many of the...
Wow, this is really great and makes sense to me. I would think that one's inferior would wreak havoc, but as one got older perhaps they could really grow into it. So dwelling in emotions to INTP is...
Wow, this resonates so much. I think that I must be INFP, especially upon reflection of what I wrote recently. The hardest thing for me is having beliefs that cut me off from most of humanity...
I feel this for random people at the grocery store I met 5 seconds ago after framing their probable reality in my head and it will be over and over again just in one visit depending on who I...
Interesting... The first reply makes me think I could be INTP (doesn't rule it out by any means). (Thank you for the detail, I will reflect on it further.) The second reply makes me think it may...
Just saw this yesterday. Beautiful film. I want to project, but I think (with why first): 1. Introvert and pliant MBTI type: His entire home is HIS WIFES stuff, so is his entire life and...
You have hit the nail right on the head. Interesting to hear the other side from a woman's perspective too.
I stand behind this sentiment. Amen.
I had a lengthy and potentially entertaining reply including quoting from both of you but it was lost. So, I'll only state that I agree with many points. I just personally don't want to be viewed...
Still trying to narrow down type. Am nearly 100% sure Ne dominant or auxiliary. Focus is now on Fi or Fe and suspecting possible INTP because of a few factors, but I specifically have a question...
Glad you liked it. :-) More comes to mind: 5. A manly INFP fuels the furnace of his passion with knowledge. Nothing stokes the fires of passion in a more manly way than knowledge. Learn the great...
This will probably get me in trouble, but since I'm trying to determine my type I'm going to do it anyway. I'm over 35 and very confused about my actual MBTI type and in general for that matter...
I also suspect some difficulty in that I had an identical twin brother (I swear I'm not making this up) so I didn't need anyone other than him growing up (free best friend, yay) so I didn't have to...
Very funny, yes, laughing at someone's excruciating existential anguish. ;-) Regardless, at this point I am operating on the assumption that my type is ENTP and will see how it wears for a bit....
Just thinking out loud (the narcissism being at least plausibly justifiable by assisting someone else down the road or providing amusement in this carnival we call life), but I think Se is related to...
Took the functional test again with the following results (trying to be as honest as possible vs what I *want*): Cognitive ProcessLevel of Development (Preference, Skill and Frequency of Use)...
Definitely possible. I can't relate to *any* INFP on youtube. I have a best friend INFP but I am not really like him, but he is precious to me nonetheless. IMHO myjazz seems to classify...
Good ENFP profiles: https://youtu.be/1wQXkIjdAJk https://youtu.be/J7EHubtwH44 Also look at the functional stack for ENFP and there's videos on that YouTube channel that break down the functions...
I agree with a lot of what you said Electra2. There is so much that points to more. The problem of belief isn't one of knowledge but of the will. One's will carries out one's desires. ...
Possible interpretations: 1. He feels so deeply that he has to back off to handle the next few weeks alone. 2. He may also second guess your feelings and doesn't want to scare you away. 3....
Why is Christmas so magic to me? Because God looked down and saw that there would be none to save his beloved, but himself. So he put on his own armor, fastened a sword about his waist and came down,...
INFP and INFJ are radically different due to their cognitive functions so you can't fall between them. But that is a common confusion that I personally have dealt with. One thing that might help...
I dunno about a total reinvent nor leaving everyone behind, but I did something like that 10 years ago. First, got a job thousands of miles away. Then I gave away or sold everything I could or...
Amen. Happily married to ISTJ but that's just how it worked out. Also agree that MBTI is useful and can be used for good but with care. But clearly, people are waaaaay more than their MBTI type...
Just thought I'd post about my experience in an INFP + ISTJ relationship since I find it kind of interesting as a pair and since I have experience with it being married to one for about 5 years. ...
Thanks, I am going to figure out her type for sure (hopefully) next. Just need a bit of a break. Understanding is definitely good for us all. I need to learn more about S types especially. I dabbled...
I'm in awe after reading your post and reasoning, etc. Seriously, I love you. :laughing: I'm etching a monument to ISTJ and you at this very moment. :-) There remains no doubt. I have access to a...
yay, you're absolutely correct. Realized it last night after writing out the last bit (which was summarized heavily b/c I was on phone and not at PC as I am no. I haven't read your post yet, but I...
Thanks, I am grateful for the fact that you care by asking for so much detail. Sadly I've come to expect nothing, but that is in no way intended to be manipulative. It's a statement of fact if you...
Here's something interesting that I remember now. Back in college there was a female friend who started dating an older guy who was into this pyramid scheme style business. Anyway, this has...
Yes, thank you, I got results that suggested Ne as strongest. Suggested type is ENTP followed by INTP. But many functions very close to each other (Ti and Fe very close) Cognitive ProcessLevel of...
*That's what it was. :-D But I think I see your point. It's about cognition and the theory being applied, not numbers or behavioral questions.* Reply also *inline*, above.
Will try to keep content in other thread, heh, but will answer: I know what the interviewer wants and then I craft a persona to match. Includes both attitude and how I respond to things and how I...
Repress emotional side and my beliefs concerning matters of importance. My life is harder than it otherwise might be because my focus is on these matters rather than day to day things. Too strong,...
Now this is hilarious. I am leaning more and more towards INTP due to inferior. So the funny part is I think my wife is ESFJ (jury out on ESTJ), which means I married my shadow type. Also she...
Last time (few years ago) I spent a long time trying to figure out enneatype. Came up with 9w1. That said, at one point I thought 4w5 or 5w4 but ultimately believed 9. Now I often seem very very 6...
Trying to determine type by process of elimination (in part). 1. First, is it possible to be disorganized unplanning and stereotypically P in behavior like J type? If not, I must be P. 2. Is it...
At this point thinking that I am INTP based on strong P behaviors and other continued searching and testing. Sound plausible to anyone over the rest?'
