'Journalist with a master's in mass comm. The MA is overkill but I wanted to get it out of the way so I have the option of teaching college classes later. It's an incredible job but also...
Yes. Yes it is. And the polar bear in space.
I grew up with TNG and Voyager. I liked them both quite a bit, and I've seen all the movies. It's good scifi. I really like Abrams' take on it too, though I wish they hadn't whitewashed the villain...
No. I hate being mean or even blunt and when I feel I have said something mean, I feel terrible and am quick to apologize. I can't get away with being mean, my conscience kicks my butt about it.
I live in a perpetual state of seeking the next experience, the next way to make a difference, the next thing I will love or enjoy. I have left a swath of interests, pastimes, causes and hobbies...
There's a spider in a web around it and you are deathly afraid of spiders. Every time you try to get the spider, it runs into a tiny crack in the ceiling and you have to put your hand close to the...
Keyoke In any event I plan to adopt (*cough* steal *cough*) the phrase when describing myself because it is quite accurate in my case, fwiw. :) Also I edited my post after your quote in case...
Okay, I will retract the unintended implication that *all* INFJs are precisely described by that. I really wasn't trying to speak for all people of this type, and I am sincerely sorry if I offended...
Keyoke That's one of the best things I have heard in describing INFJs, ever. I love it, bravo.
It involved what amounted to a fake suicide note written for the purpose of manipulating me and that's all I am comfortable saying. No, they are not allowed back in my life.
Try reading about the cognitive functions. :) That should clear it up. Functionally the two are very different, even though in outward expression they might seem similar. INFP is Fi, Ne, Si, Te...
As an INFJ I am afraid I am already friends with Ista because I like you, Ista, and people I like are my friends. It's okay, you don't have to be my friend back. In this thread you are clever and...
The old bulb broke off in the socket and you have no idea how to get it out without electrocuting yourself.
Yes. Yes we are, and the e1s are going to win. With our trebuchet. :D Why thank you for the kind reception! My sincerest regards to our compatriots, the e6s. But seriously. To be honest...
Let's build a trebuchet and invade something! No but really. We're almost certainly outnumbered by the other E-types... but if the world is against an INFJ Type 1, it's only fair odds. ;) ...
I can't be around my mother for five minutes without wanting to punch something, apparently.
But it's so interesting in here. :(
I do feel shame... it's a shame I'm so awesome.
I do, and deeply, and I would love to talk about it, but I can't find the right words right now. I will ponder this and come back to it.
I put 4s because I am generally quite happy, but if I rate it 5 I don't leave room for improvement and there's always room for improvement. :)
Yes, yes we are always right. I'm so glad others are starting to recognize this, it will make life so much easier. *polishes halo* Call your mom, she worries.
Had an INFP friend, she was an incredible writer with a fantastic sense of style. She was incredibly talented with words, and she was also very intelligent. Creativity is the INFP birthright. I think...
I honestly would try not to take it too seriously, though I know that's really hard when it feels like someone is insulting not only you but others you associate with. I feel really badly for the...
Love the analysis! I squeaked by stats but I think I get the gist of what this means.
Not stupid, just a hazard of stereotypes, unfortunately. Best of wishes to you in your new endeavors!
I could not live without books. I would literally lay down and die. Or at least lay down and roll around sobbing and exclaiming loudly that I was. I am not picky about the format, if I can get a...
I have the pleasure of having spoken with an adult, mature, male INFJ with Enneagram 5w4. He gives proof to the theory that well-developed INFJs can hold their own when they hang out in the science...
I know what you mean, and I don't think it's so much an issue with self-righteousness as it is with self-confidence. Seriously, I think a large majority of people express themselves and their...
I have a very long fuse but being a 1, I also have some issues with anger. I am the calmest person you're likely to meet, but I do have a bad tendency to bottle up what I'm feeling x96 sometimes I have...
This is very much me. It takes a bolt out of the blue to get me to properly understand what I'm feeling.
This was actually interesting. Thanks!
I do read people, yes. I don't consider it an unusual thing or related to any kind of psychic woo-woo, as I saw someone on here say. It's more like empathy on overdrive in my view.
The closest I have been to being depressed was after a Category 5 hurricane destroyed the city where I was living. I basically sat on my mother's couch for five months and played video games....
Doc, you shouldn't be trying to diagnose anybody with anything over a message board. I'm not sure you're actually a doctor at all. And if you are, what you're doing here is taking advantage of...
I think it's a theory with positive applications possible for anyone who seeks them. I don't consider it an issue of truth or untruth. If it helps you grow, it's worthwhile. Some people just...
Kind, funny, likes books and animals and is always curious. That’s my type. :)
I'm secretly another type just invading the INFJs to learn their ways. In fact I am not actually human. I am an alien. Now if you will please look at this bright light for one second? *FLASH* ...
kotor 5ever.
Engage the Se. Engaaaaage the Seeeeeee. Canoeing. Hiking. Horseback riding. I don't care, whatever they will try. That goes for all INFJs. Feeling down, engage your Se (in a healthy way).
That makes a lot of sense to me. Imperfection is beautiful. Once you learn to forgive yourself, it becomes easier to forgive others too. It helps you be happier and less stressed. It's a huge...
Windu was INTJ! Jedi can be all types and so can Sith.
I had an INFP friend in school and she was great, imaginative and creative, always interesting and very clever. Unfortunately she also got down really easily and often seemed to be pessimistic and...
Well then just consider my post a right back at you. ;)
Darling, you are too wonderful as you are to waste time being something you're not. INFPs are the gentle and lyrical ones of the NF family. You're the seafoam heart to the ENFP's red-blooded abandon,...
I'm dull as dishwater, I have certainly never done anything like break into a cemetery at 3 a.m., leave pinwheels in people's mailboxes, or yarn bombed a city landmark. Nope.
@elvis2010 So let's skip everything where you talk about me/my type/etc. 'cause it's not really relevant. :) This is your thread and it exists, therefore you are responsible for it and any...
When I'm alone and I burp, I rate my burps on a scale of 1-10. I haven't gotten above an 8 yet.
I am most definitely complimenting you, especially now that I know you have seen Mean Girls. Allow me to make us a cake made of rainbows so we can all eat it and be happy. So it's true, I am...
I don't know what made me more amused, your avatar (all I can think is FOR THE HORDE!) or your sig line about serving man. Four for you Glen Coco, you go, Glen Coco. I am starting to think ENTPs...
I love being around people, especially when they’re my minions in an evil plot to overthrow the government and seize power. Those guys are the best. Otherwise I enjoy small groups or one on one...'
