Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'I don't necessarily have a fascination with evil itself, but more the dark and mysterious inner workings of the mind that orchestrated the evil. I find human behavior, and the core schemata within...

Yep. Totally agree. It's really hard for me to open up to people about certain aspects of myself, but I am more than willing to process what is going on with others on a deep level. Our...

Of course. :) There are always anomalies. And much of what determines awesome lovemaking is subjective, or hinges on the emotional and physical chemistry between the pair in question. I actually...

I relate really strongly to everything you just wrote. I've also found that, while I'm intensely passionate internally, within the confines of my own mind, I am inhibited in revealing this...

My fiance and I just took the four temperament test as part of our premarital counseling classes. I'm an INFJ, and my results showed that I was primarily a Perfect Melancholy type, secondarily a...

Agreed. Manipulation gets a bad rep. We all manipulate, in negative but also in positive ways. It's part of altruism. It's even part of the golden rule (do unto others as you would have others do...

As an INFJ, I'd agree that I am sensitive to manipulation, in so far as sensing it in others and using it myself. The reason I so often suspect it in others is that I so easily play out in my...

@endlessnameless - Interesting about Taylor Momsen. She sounds like a talented, purposeful person, which is refreshing and inspiring. I haven't gotten into Jack White's solo work quite as much, but I...

@endlessnameless - I didn't like the Bullet for My Valentine song as it first began. I thought it was going to sound punk-like. But as I listened to it more, I liked it more. And the guitarist who...

endlessnameless: Forgot to mention, Stone Sour has some new stuff out that I like. What do you think? http://youtu.be/Yw3cHIFny0g

Sorry it took me a while to answer! I've been super tied down with assignments. Yes, I know what you mean about liking Shinedown's older material better. Same for me. 45 is great, and I really like...

Haha thank you for understanding! :) And no spoilers, I promise. What I said about Jon's lineage is just speculation, based off of my wild imagination, paired with very subtle hints given from the...

endlessnameless - Hahaha, that's funny. That sounds like something he would say, with a sly smile. I love the books. I've read the first four, and plan on reading the fifth when it comes out in...

That is amazing you got to see Pearl Jam live. I've always wanted to do that, but have never had the chance! Did you hear them perform Black? For some reason, that one is my favorite. I love this...

Hey friend! :) I have to admit, I've always loved Eddie too. He seems like such a beautiful, soulful man. The way he puts his entire existence into his lyrics, and the passionate way he rages and...

Maximus - Alice in Chains is one of my all-time favorites, along with Pearl Jam, Audioslave, STP, and many other long-forgotten 90s rock bands. Have you heard their new song Stone? Not quite their...

Haha, YES. Despite being very motivated and indefinitely busy, I find that I'm often inefficient with time management. When I sit down to write a paper, it takes me perhaps twice as long as it would...

Haha, yes, I have. I am a very intense person, so it is no surprise that I have a propensity to obsess over the object of my attraction and fascination. It's not something I'm particularly vocal...

I have totally thought of this too. Except with mine, it was 32 people, different genders for each type (you could of course expand this number to 48 or 64, etc., depending on how many gender...

I worry about potential situations leading to my death without being close to death, and I already care way too much (it's called Generalized Anxiety Disorder), so I can't imagine what I'm going to...

WELL. I'm in this graduate program that is attempting to take over my life and make it extremely difficult for me to maintain a balance of healthy self-care and productivity. So, while I wanted to do...

Hahahaha. I love this. This sounds exactly like something my boyfriend would say, and he doesn't know if he's an ISTP or an INTP, so he concluded that he was an AWESOME. That's his type. I think that...

Coincidentally or not, I'm pretty good at this too. I have this zeal for getting to the bottom of what makes people tick, and whenever I learn someone's birthday, I immediately associate that...

I have not read enough Plato and Aristotle, unfortunately, to be able to voice my opinions on this matter with confidence. However, based off of the limited information provided in that picture, I...

http://youtu.be/7x5Rx3WHYQM Because I know, that I'll be coming home soon, with a soldier's eyes, with a soldier's eyes. I think it's a very spiritual song, where home is heaven, and we all see...

I think I know what you mean here. It doesn't happen often, but if I see authority being abused, or if I see some type of inexcusable injustice, I get livid enough to see red. It's like the event...

I wouldn't call it arrogance. I'll see things from others' perspectives very readily. I'd just call it conviction. You've got to stand for something, and you've got to have a purpose. Usually I'm...

Me too. As Aaron Beck once said, anger turned inward often manifests itself in depression (and anxiety, in my opinion). I too struggle with guilt if I externalize any of my anger onto someone else,...

This is interesting. I have found that it is easier for me to relate to and get to know men. I've done a great deal of thinking about why that may be. Is it attraction that compels me to engage more...

I don't know if this is very much an INFJ thing, but I'm an INFJ and it's very much a me thing, so I'd say between the two of us there is a pattern! Seriously, these two things are very relevant...

Dylio I can't help but say, that is quite the avatar you have there. Hahaha. To answer the question: Provided that I have enough money, I'll never drive anything but an SUV. I could even go for...

YES! Cheers. (Clink).

I was raised very traditional Christian, so I am still strongly influenced by Christian values. However, as I grew older and became aware of hateful judgment shown by so many Christians on certain...

1. If you know the answer to something, why do you always have to shout it out before giving the other person a chance to think and respond? Hmm. Not me. It usually takes me a while to process what I...

Hi ISTP friend :) 1. Love your avatar. Haha. The love you and your dog feel for each other is beautiful. 2. I think whether or not an INFJ's feelings are completely obvious to them depends on...

I agree with this. The difficulty with a pseudoscience like psychology (and subsets of psychology, such as personality) is that everything within it operates on some kind of dimension without clear...

Agreed. In my limited experience dabbling within the INTJ forums, I've noticed that INTJs choose to pay attention to theoretical patterns, while INFJs choose to pay attention to motivational ones. I...

Our perception is our reality. Just so, since INFJs usually experience abstract perceptions rather than concrete ones, our reality may seem to others more figurative than literal, or more...

True. I didn't consider that aspect of ethicality, but you're right. Persons pushing the button (especially with premorbid mental disorders) may have suffered a great deal afterwards. I need to learn...

Hello. INFJ infiltrating an INTJ thread. (Sheepish grin). Ever heard of the 1960s Milgram Experiment? In short, it was an [now unethical] experiment that measured level of blind obedience to an...

YES! You can totally argue how A, B, or C could be contributing factors, and unless there have been statistics in repetitive studies that have proven one has a larger effect than the others, there is...

My strong suit has always been my writing. Thus, I can ace an essay/short answer test, but I have historically had more difficulty performing well on multiple choice tests. My problem is that I...

Hey there, Bear :) I work at a suicide hotline, and one of the questions that we're required to ask people that call in is, do you want to die, or do you just want to be out of pain? The...

1: What's your MBTI Type? INFJ. 2: What's your Gender? Female. 3: Are you the eldest child, middle child, or youngest child? Eldest. 4: How do you learn: Hands-on, seeing, or auditory?...

Sun: Libra Rising: Capricorn Moon: Aquarius Mercury: Scorpio Venus: Scorpio Mars: Aquarius I suppose I could say...my Capricorn Rising explains my crappy deadpan humor and the impression that...

I had a very similar experience with a former manager, while working part-time during school. He was overbearing, micromanaging, and (not that I would know, but) he seemed like he was constantly on...

Haha, yay! I heart you for hearting me.

Haha, gotta love our diarrhea of the mouth! :P

Haha, I know! It's awesome. I find myself quoting it all the time. For example, if there's ever an awkward moment during conversation (which, for me, happens daily) I've gotten to the point where...

Haha, and oh yes, how could I forget this: http://youtu.be/Sh8mNjeuyV4 http://youtu.be/Nvs5pqf-DMA I love Monty Python. It's in my top three.'
