'Hmm, so to translate this: INFJs bother me, so I dated several of them. That way I can justify being a sociopath.
Maybe I missed something. This was my thought process: The OP writes about an INFJ friend and reflects on how great that relationship was with that friend. I thought you were joking about that by...
You don't see the ridiculous implications of it all? An ENTP poses as an INFJ and befriends a person as a caricature of another person. It is the implications of pulling off such a con that amused...
It all makes sense now.
At this point, I really have no tangible explanation as to how the original post bothered me. I wish I knew why, because it might help. I am not knowable in that sense. I personally don't find the...
You're an ENTP. Why? Because of your fondness toward INFJs. It's a different type of fondness than other types exhibit. It's closer to the fondness one has for their childhood favorite pet. Nobody...
I get a Ne vibe from your post, but that is just one post. The reason I say Ne has to do with how you are connecting your thoughts. Also, those online tests don't do well distinguishing between...
My salads usually only have romaine or red lettuce. If I'm being adventurous, I'll add onions, carrots, eggs and cheese, but I have that salad maybe six times a year. Otherwise, it is just going to...
Whoever said INFJs were human? Ni is quite 'alien'.
The INFJ/ENTP thread in the ENTP forum amused me. Mostly for its excessive hyperbole. I think every INFJ-related thread in the ENTP forum should be stickied, if for no other reason than to amuse the...
Personality can also have an impact on this. A type 4 or an NF is likely going to have a different reaction than say a type 1 or a ST. By the time my idealistic self recognizes reality in its present...
Communication isn't just a buzzword. The INFJ can use Ni to predict trends and Fe to determine what needs to be said to maintain a balance. I can identify problems before they happen and prevent...
I did not do well in public school. Sexual abuse, bullying, and inept teachers and principals left me a very dysfunctional teenager. I'm an independent learner with excellent memory. I read my...
This topic is making me want to replace my broken car radio.
I think you are just going to have to wait. Sometimes things get in the way of my best intentions and I don't always put the first things first. My advice is to wait and give him time to...
I also enjoyed making a custom class, but I became fascinated with min/maxing in Morrowind. For some reason, I refused to use the console codes, but would painfully figure out what skills to get to...
Shhh. Those are trade secrets. What cognitive functions cause an INFJ to be so cautious and second-guess every single planned scenario and action? I always wondered why I was so uncomfortable...
On the back of your receipt should be a survey that you can fill out. I am certain that they would love to hear about how they can better improve your dining experience.
I wasn't able to navigate, much less survive, the social environment of high school. I did alright in college and even better in my masters. I think it just takes time for everyone to grow up. Part...
When I was younger, I struggled with anxiety. Experience taught me that people were not to be trusted. I could be intimidated by powerful peers who were self confident or overly aggressive. Now,...
I think it's interesting that the INFJs make up such a significant segment yet have so few posts in their forum. It could be that we don't post often. I've been here a while and have only managed...
I think the panda bear fits me very well. I even think bamboo is fascinating. I don't really have a reason why I like bamboo. I think pandas are mysterious yet captivate people. They are powerful...
That sounds like an INFJ doorslam. I don't know what advice to give you. For me, that is an extreme solution to a problem where there are no other valid options. You should read up on the INFJ door...
My resolution this year is to be more direct. I imply a lot of things rather than stating them outright and assume everyone else is able to think on the same wavelength as I do. I can be too passive...
I haven't heard anything about that. Interesting. I was under the impression that things like the steady state theory weren't even remote possibilities.
I haven't kept up with recent developments, but isn't redshift on the majority of stellar bodies observed proof of an expanding universe? I actually cannot think of anything with a blueshift right...
I'm not completely sure that I can actually define what I am looking for. I think it has to do with relying on intuition on a regular basis. I'm future-minded so if I cannot envision even a vague...
I've never had those horror stories, but that's probably because I'm cautious and move about as fast as a turtle when it comes to dating. For me, asking someone out is a very vulnerable moment, and I...
I don't like arguments. It doesn't help that I am terrible at them either. I would rather discuss and learn than argue. I cannot think of a single example where I have ever won an argument - even...
I'm sorry to hear that.
I know some people believe that you can't mix with headphones. I don't agree with that completely. Sometimes, that's the best option at the time. I would encourage you to try to play your song on...
I just turned up the volume on the tablet. I can hear some of it now. However, I am still having trouble, and I couldn't hear it at all before. I'll try listening on something else in a couple...
The timing in the lead guitar is a bit off at points. It is most noticeable in the opening riff. Drums are good. They could be slightly more present in the mix. No toms? Fills? The hi hat and ride...
I prefer stability, but I grow restless if I am not free to create. As a result, when my job becomes more about petty details and less about using what I believe are my unique gifts, I become...
I have no idea how I was able to function before GPS.
Attrition?
I've been there recently. I turned 30 in September, and that made me reflect on my life thus far. Add to that unexpected and significant stress from work, and I disengaged from the world. Little...
I like ISTPs. I tend to either be stuck in the past or dream of the future, and ISTPs are focused on the present. That can bring me back to reality, which is sometimes necessary. ISTPs seem to be...
Are you using Internet Explorer? Try a different browser. I can't create carriage returns in IE, but it works fine in firefox.
I ACTUALLY FIND THE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS TO BE MORE LIKE SHOUTING> ESPECIALLY IF I HOLD MY SHIFT KEY DOWN AND PUSH REALLY HARD> IT ALSO SEEMS TO CHANGE MY PERIOD INTO AN ANGLE BRACKET> I do...
Technology is moving precisely as fast as they can make money off of it. For example, when I was looking to purchase a high-end laptop over a year ago, the particular chip series that I wanted for...
I don't know anything about this, as I tend to stay in the INFJ forum. I know a few ESFJs and we get along fine. However, I must not know any ESFJs because the statements here are nothing like the...
Forget Napster. Kazaa is where it's at. With those new DivX codecs, you can download movies overnight. Well, over a few evenings. Besides, you aren't really going to miss your phone line then, are...
I'm using noscript on firefox which is preventing the redirects, but here's all the redirects from the log(as far as I know, all were from PerC). It's definitely something on PerC. I highly...
I dated someone who typed as an ENFP for a few years. I describe her as a mirror image of myself as her extroverted functions are my introverted functions (and vice-versa). What I found fascinating...
Even within personality types there is tremendous variety. I'd recommend you hang around the INFJ forums a little and take note of the variety of behaviors and attitudes. Much of what you are...
I spend too much time reworking my posts in order to make sure that the wording is correct. Wait, I think for this time I'm going to actually keep [some] the process of posting visible so that I...
Negative self-talk is incredibly harmful. It will grow stronger if you let it continue. I am a melancholic, and with that comes a brooding personality. There are things in my life that I am...
I didn't like the descriptions I had read of the 4w3. I like to think of myself as a 4w5, but I behave more like a 4w3. Would you say this was the same case for you? I identify with the SX/SP...
That sort of makes sense to me. A turtle's pace, an outer protective shell. A porcupine's quills capable of delving ever inward from just a simple touch. Am I close to an understanding? It just...'
