Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Probably waaayy late now, but I would just reply: [City], why? You don't want to appear too explicit about how you feel about him yet. Keep some of the mystery to yourself to keep him...

haha, I get it now! I was puzzling over it for quite a while!

I can totally relate to this thread. I wasn't 'in touch' with my feelings for most of my life, as for school / work I didn't really need to use feelings and ended up working in a very male-dominated...

Can you explain at bit more how an ENTP Dad and ISTJ Mom created a PERFECT environment for you? I have a INTP Dad and ESFJ Mom, and it was extremely frustrating growing up as none of them were able...

LOL! Thanks guys. Kind of confirms my suspicions that though he was initially attracted to her looks, he’s grown tired of her and their inability to have to good mental connection. It’s interesting...

Do you mean your mom is ISTJ or INTJ?

Yes I agree with this. I definitely sense his resentment and growing apathy towards her. The other day we met up after work and she called him and asked him when he would be back. He said he was with...

Thanks everyone for all your comments. From what you guys have said about the ENTP/ISTJ match, some of you won’t want to enter this partnership and those of you which have experienced it have had...

One of my best friends is married to an ISTJ. It was a long-distance whirlwind romance and they got married pretty quickly not long after dating. However it's been a few years he is not doing too...

WaterEarthFireAir Funny you should say youth minister, as I used to lead the young adults group of the church I grew up in, which I found to be a great experience! I've since moved around quite a...

Being out of school a number of years, I have found my social circle getting smaller over time. I chose business/finance as my career path, and there really arenx92t too many INFJs, in this line of...

You're welcome! Look forwards to the update. All the best!

Let me just throw something out there. His brain is going to work very differently from yours as his dominant function is Ni, while yours is Ne. What this means is that whilst he may appear to be...

The fact he tells you this but still wishes to keep his distance might mean a couple of things. 1. He does like you, but feels things are moving too fast and hasn't had the time to process his...

It's been noted that INFJ and ENTP make a good match. Do you think this is only the case for heterosexual relationships where INFJ is the female?: I think this is a good question, and I've been...

Lise A Sounds like you are INFJ rather than ISFJ to me. From your detailed answers picking up Fe/Ti which is common to both but also strong Ni/Se vs Si/Ne. INFJ love people and what makes them...

I don't think the OP is going to be able to garnish much useful information from this question as to finding out unhealthy traits commonly found in INFJs. INFJ can demonstrate any number of...

I have encountered something like this before. One of my main issues with INFPs is that because they judge so quickly with their Fi, they come across like they think everyone else judges so quickly....

My parents struggled with codependency issues throughout their marriage. After understanding more about MBTI I can see a lot of it I think has to do with their cognitive functions. They share they...

My sister is an INFP and her husband is an ISTJ. I thought I would revitalise this thread rather than starting a new one as there's quite a lot of good things here, which I have seen in their...

If I am analyzed in a NT way, it would lack an emotional connection, and I would feel uncomfortable. If I am analyzed in a SJ way, it would lack sufficient depth, and I would feel detached. ...

Even though an ENFP and an ENTP have the same dominant function, Ne, would their areas of interest and emotions, or lack thereof clash? I have seen conversations between the two and the 2 of them and...

I would agree with this. I have found no matter how much you want to change things or stop bad things from happening things may take months or years before they fully play out. You may have the...

Mix of low to high intensity sports, food comparisons, driving fast cars and cornering real hard, thrill seeking. Buying new things and gadgets that I probably don't need but just want to have.

I got the same from enfp and Esfj women. I would say I can see why people would say I am stone-faced though. Never got commented on by guys, but I think half of us are stone-faced anyway regardless...

It's really not as you say it is at all, but I don't expect you to be able to understand as you've never felt a strong sense of connectedness to any type, which is sad....

I think any of those subjects are equally good, depending on your area of interest. You can probably excel at any of them at an undergraduate or graduate level, and find meaningful work with any of...

Yeah, I’m with you here. It’s a pretty harsh article, and I can’t identify with what he says much at all. Personally I don’t think this guy is an INFJ even though he says he is a ‘solid’ one. My...

May I just say, it was not instant and it wasn’t a decision. It was based on intuition, and was actually an Ni theory that took time to develop and which I got based on the fact that your answer to...

Ok, I can see where the misunderstanding could come from, and I accept your interpretation. Discussing someone's type IS sensitive which is why I have been very careful in my wording from the...

,

Really strange behavior here. I took the discussion offline as I thought it might be more comfortable for you, and the thread is not really about discussing your type. But actually it was you who...

I don't purport I know you well or indeed better than yourself, but I know what it is liked to be mistyped and not truly identifying with my type for so long. Then when I found my true type I felt...

1. Not really. I have developed strong, deep, values over time and generally stick to them, and live according to them. But for most of my life I was a chameleon, blending in to social situations and...

L Fair comments. I can be quite abrasive too!

I would second this. Might create more answered questions but at least you will be questioning forwards. The answers are out there, you just haven't found them yet.

1. INFJ use Ni which goes from broad to deep and narrow, so the point of this thread is to explore the breadth of INFJs experience with loyalty in romantic relationships and to examine some of the...

As far as I can tell from your story, the good news it there really doesn't seem to be anything unusual going on. He sounded really into you from the start, enjoyed your company, got creative, had...

Thanks everyone to your many interesting and varied responses! I fully appreciate the discussion, but I thought I would come back to provide some added context to the OP. This thread was not...

I can definitely identify with the development of INFJ Children. My sister is an INFP, and watching her grow up, I can totally see how her path differs from the INFJ.

How is this a potshot? It helps to know which type you are so you can learn to grow in your type and not think you are one type when actually you are another. I have nothing against INFPs. I know...

I don't think that Utopia can be achieved in this world. Too much evil exists for the world to be purged in its entirety. What would be needed is a whole new world to be created. However, there...

I mean this is in the best possible way, but do you think you could be an INFP rather than an INFJ? At the end of the day, everyone has to get comfortable with his or her MBTI type, but there were a...

I don't what it is between ENFP and ISTJs. According to socionics they are conflicting pairs. I had a similar experience once. At first they got along, but I think the ISTJ couldn't handle the ENFPs...

No, we are not a heartless bunch, in fact we love helping people. However, there are several reasons why an INFJ is likely to walk pass a homeless person. 1. Deep empathy: Contrary to popular...

There was an INFP girl I was great friends with for years but when I was interested into turning it to something more it didn't work out. She wasn't looking for a relationship at the time, which left...

I've been playing chess for year. Not training or anything, just playing random games online for fun. I made some decent progress initially but don't seem to have improved that much after. probably...

Thanks for a brilliant quote! Trust Jung, the Godfather INFJ, to have something to explain my behavior and that of my friend's! I guess it makes sense now that these steps were taken as a...
