Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Is he willing to use public restrooms? I ask, because if it gets to the point where he avoids using any other bathroom altogether (like, he will hold everything in for hours until he is safe in his...

I'm talking about between the ages of about six and thirteen... A Story: When I was in 4th Grade, my teacher got up in front of the class one morning and told us about an article she had just...

well, if it's completely empty, then I'd have to take the dirver's seat to go anywhere...;) If it's a given that there's already a driver, then I'd probably sit about three or four rows back on...

Your Se was probably taking over in the moment...

To clarify. Yes, the order of the functions in socionics is as you say. However, according to Model A, they are not ordered by strength. Functions 1, 2, 7, and 8 are the stronger functions; and 3, 4,...

When you posted your song a while back and talked about how you could play by ear and taught yourself...I had the thought that you might be an ISFJ, since Si is the function that seems to be most...

That's the one I used...

I'm starting to figure this out myself... My understanding so far is that-- based on Model A Socionics-- the four strongest functions for INFj are Fi, Ne, Ni, and Fe. The Thinking and Sensing...

Umm, I'm taking a med for General Anxiety Disorder (have mentioned that before). Only four people in real life know that, and they're all family. I still imagine monsters in the closet sometimes....

homemade-quality bread with butter...

Actually, I believe you've got it backwards. A Ben> B, so ISFj (or ISFP) would be Benefactor to INFp (or INFJ) A is Down and B is Across... May be. I take it all with a grain of salt. I...

So, if we're more like the Look-a-Like relation, does that mean that I could actually be an INFP? (because there is no way my husband is an ISFJ) Or can it just mean that I have very well-developed...

First, I did get the right Types the first time. INFp=INFj and INTj=INTp. So, no confusion there :) Actually, the look-a-like relationship does sound a lot like my husband and me. The comparative,...

My husband and I definitely fit the bolded qualification. And, of course we are also attracted to each other (obviously, hehe). So, the Relation of Benefit is apparently what we have, me being...

I can't say with confidence that I would be able to wake up without an alarm clock. But, during the day I usually have a pretty good idea what time it is at any given time, within a 10-minute margin...

My husband and I have recently been trying to figure out the types of his sisters, who are twins. We've come to the tentative conclusion that they must be the same Type, but having taken on opposite...

Those of you who have worked fast food-- or other similar jobs-- what was it like? So, I had a job the summer after high school working at a fast food place before I went off to college. It didn't...

Not at all. And I meant no offense to you. All in good fun? :D

Ah, but if I'm being passive-aggressive, then by definition, so are you :tongue::wink:

Okay, sorry...I only mentioned my roommate in response to the controversry you mentioned in your OP. You're the one who opened up the discussion of Aspergers and Type, my friend. So, what do you...

idk, but I had a roommate in college with Aspergers, and she very well could have been an INFJ...

Sorry I haven't read all the posts in this thread. But finding the term, out-of-the-box several times while skimming through, got me recalling some of the out-of-the-box ideas I've had in the...

Well, it's certainly not Ne...If I were using Ne in those situations, then wouldn't I be making more of a diligent effort to consider all my options and want to try a little bit of everything all at...

I was shy as a kid, but I'm not really anymore. Though I am still reserved about certain things...like, I'm not likely to be one to get up and do a crazy dance in front of a bunch of people. But I am...

Just...WOW. There couldn't be a better description out there of what it has been like for me as a mother. Especially since Baby #2 arrived. I'd quote the OP and bold parts that particularly apply to...

If you do a Google search on Blessing Cleansing your Home, you will get some ideas...I guess, the nature of the cleanse depends on your own personal philosophy/religion and what you want to have...

Me neither. Though I like writing song lyrics once in a while, and I have written a few (and a few really does mean a few) poems as inspired. Prose is really my thing. And dialog; I love plays....

I like some cool stuff...like SWORDS, and LASERS, and SPACESHIPS, and MAGIC, and and and... :laughing: Nope, not into cars and motorcycles and airplanes...unless they FLY! well, I guess...

I write endings a lot better than anything else. I can always see where I want to go in a story, but following a linear path to get there proves daunting. I write snippets, scenes, conversations,...

INJ Traits They have vivid imaginations They're curious about everything, and are always asking Why? They enjoy spending time one-on-one with others, rather than in large groups They're...

Creative Writing...I will get a good idea and write excitedly...and then I will hit a wall mentally and can go no further. I wait and wait and wait for further inspiration to come, and if it comes, I...

I like the OP's groupings. Just found this: Personality and Kids which asserts that the first two letters to be determined in a young child's personality types are I/E and P/J, so...the suggestion to...

I am guilty of this, too...

I do this, too...In MS and HS I used to read while I walked from one class to the next, and managed to never run into anyone else or anything else. Also, when I'm alone (which is hardly ever...

Whistle Blower? I'm sorry, but that just makes it sound like this guy (or gal?) is suggesting that we be tattle-tales. That...doesn't sit well with me...

My INFJ mother-in-law apparently is like this a lot. She'll get into a cleaning frenzy and clean up the home office, including my husband's workspace (he works for the family business); he hates...

So, an INFJ would be a Scionics IEI, right? And here I thought I finally had the MBTI more or less figured out, now there's a whole other system for me to learn! Aaaahhhh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAbCNtk8sOM Disillusioned Ni? lol

Umm, he sounds like he has some pretty serious anitsocial issues...Why won't he go anywhere? What is he afraid of? Has he been hurt in the past? Does he really like it when people make fun of him, or...

I am surely guilty of this, too. When I'm stressed, I start to doubt my Ni and start using Ne instead, but then afterward I realize it was all pointless, that I should have just listened to what my...

Have you looked at INTJ and INTP?

Soul searcher, just curious: what Type do you think your Mom is/was? I think mine is ISFJ...

This part definitely makes you sound like an INFJ. The desire to help people, and to improve society according to our own personal vision, seems to be a hallmark of INFJs. For instance, I want to be...

When I was in college, I would try to show up to lectures 15-20 minutes early so I could just have some quiet time to read, study, or just close my eyes and rest for a little while. I still have a...

I'm with the majority so far. I would love to have a home with a good chunk of natural land, but no more than 20 minutes from the city (not a majorly big city, though; I think we have like, 20,000+...

This is me, too. But I've had to start making myself say no more, to take care of my health. It's hard, though.

The people I am closest to right now, that I spend time with at least 2 times a week or more, are my husband and kids, my mother- and father-in-law, and my brother-in-law and his wife and kids. On...

I know I can't for-sure type my kid yet (didn't I say that in my OP?). That doesn't mean he can't already be displaying some marked preferences for certain functions, even though those preferences...

So, my son is only 3 and a half years old, but of all the personality types so far, ENTP is the one that seems to fit him best. I realize this can change in the future, since I understand...'
