Advocate

Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

Rim In some approximate order, it seems like you make a decision about the rightness or wrongness of something, defend that position, judge yourself and find yourself wanting, judge others and...

Rim, how do you react when your buttons are pushed? I mean, beyond just criticality, rationalizing, and projection. What goes through your mind? Inferior Te and Inferior Fe can have many...

Sorry for not responding to the earlier reply after posting those links! I'm in the process of moving house. I would just add that I think you're focusing more on Fi and Se at the moment because...

Thanks for clarifying, I hope I didn't offend with the overemphasis on the social anxiety :happy: That makes a lot of sense. I'm warming to the idea of Ni-dom for you, though I still vote for...

cool :kitteh: I could definitely see ISFP or INTJ for you with a well-developed tertiary in either case. Maybe you could look at the INJ and IFP childhood profiles and see if either of them...

TrippedOnReality Since you're new here, how'd you come up with the username? What does it mean to you?

Neat. So you're facing the river (at its mouth), and it flows past you but not through you in to the ocean of the past? Do I have it right?

Ah, her, i believe, it's confusing with the avatar :happy: but yeah. I agree, she's a tough one to type! I know what you mean about the focus on external judgment. It does look like Fe, on the...

I know exactly what you mean about feeling jealous of other people's brainstorming. If it helps, most brainstormers are not very skilled at winnowing ideas or finding the most appropriate idea for a...

:laughing: Do you find it easier to come up with new ideas, or to evaluate existing ones? Do you find yourself naturally critical of ideas when people propose them, as if you're looking for the...

Cool. This was mostly just for fun and to see how you would respond, it's hardly definitive. From some page back in the INFJ forum, and stolen earlier from elsewhere on PerC: Possibly NP...

Your perception of time is beautiful and inspiring :-) Loads of Ne in there. Or Ni :-) Inure, if you take a look here, do you find yourself relating to any of the four cognitive styles? I'm...

FacelessBeauty I'm responding to your post directly because you narrowed in on some interesting points. I'm not meaning to single you out, but specific points that you brought up made aspects of...

Inure, sorry to drag you back in to this, but can you talk for a moment about how you perceive time?

Hi abigaleblues, I dunno if you're still interested in hearing any feedback at this point, but on the off chance that you are ... First off, you appear to use either a behind-the-scenes or...

:laughing: :crazy:

I sympathize. I'm sure you're not a dumbass or you wouldn't be here :happy:

Hi Overflow, thanks for the invite! I thought your photo response was pure Fi/Ne, I got the sense that you were making use of possibility-projection at a million miles an hour to give us all a...

Ack, sorry for the brusqeueness of the last post! I was running out the door when I wrote it. There's no need to rush to type! If you're feeling stressed out or confused, the individual type...

I think knowing how to handle social encounters is more of an experience thing. Our functions might drive us to experiences that we're more inclined to, so an Fe-dom will probably develop social...

No problem, I'm glad I could help clarify things for you. Well, there's this theory of a cogitive function shadow personality which bears the the same functions as you but with the orientation...

BimboBarbie, I understand the desire to help and the pain at being shot down when you're just giving your opinion, but calling somebody a weirdo when they're putting a great deal of trust in you by...

So would you say that before you had these experiences, you'd react more emotionally when you were engaging with people? Or do you mean that as you've developed your thinking, you've gained...

My apologies, I didn't mean to imply that you were. I was just curious what qualities you think of when you think of ISTPs or ESTPs. It's the way Ti works sometimes, assuming that other people are...

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm sure it doesn't help you in trying to figure this all out :unsure: I dunno. The things you talk about are all pretty common INFJ issues, you know? Patterns of...

Thanks for that! I hadn't seen JungyesMBTIno's post yet, it's a good read :happy: I need to give it some time to process ... I'm not sure this will help. Part of this is just rewording...

I'm glad you like it here :kitteh: Definitely stay a while, explore the different forums and chat with people, understanding is a journey!

INTPs tend to interact with the environment through their ideas and use the myriad of possibilities in their heads to further refine their ideas. INTJs tend to want to observe more first, they're...

I'm seeing a lot of balance between T and F, and pretty much zero Fi. Your perception seems very inward-directed as well. There's many pointers towards possible inferior Se, so INFJ is certainly...

And even the enneagram tritype test isn't great :unsure: I think by looking at many different factors we can get a much better picture, but ultimately introspection, serious thought, and time are all...

You really appear to operate on the Se-Ni axis, and your Se presents very strongly for an INFJ. You seem to have quite a lot of zest for life. Would you say this is true of yourself?

Hi Aim, I think you do lead with your Feeling function. That's been consistent in both Cognitive function tests and in your original post. Can you talk about why you related more to Si/Ne?

Ack, I know you just went through a bunch of effort, but do you mind trying this test instead? I think it will give us all a more clear picture of what's going on.

Yeah, I think the desire to create art can stem from any function, you just see a difference of motivations involved. Ni-doms and Fi-doms are driven to explore art as expression of their internal...

SO TRUE. It took me ages and tons of reading and time alone to process things to feel any kind of confidence in my understanding of cognitive functions and archetypes. I feel the same way about...

Interesting. I don't see anything pointing to a specific type here, other than strong hints of subjective feeling. INFJs are sometimes weekend exhibitionists thanks to inferior Se, and can be...

Hi Opulent, I understand your frustration. Hope I can help to clarify things for you. Te Te Te ... good lord this is very Te. :sad: I'm glad to hear that it's balanced out a bit and...

Hi Cherryblossom, If you don't mind me asking, approximately how old are you? Also, can you describe the nature of your flexibility and spontenaity?

It's important to understand the role that function order as well as the functions themselves play in type. The auxiliary function is the function we parent with, what the ego sends out in to the...

Hi Aim, I get a strong Fi-dominant vibe off of you, with an Se focus on the present and physicality. I'd definitely look in to ISFP, with INFP as a possibility. ESFP or ENFP would be outside...

Cuervo, you shouldn't be apologizing, you didn't do anything wrong and certainly weren't being rude! With that response, you definitely use Fe. I get a strong Ne-Si vibe from your responses, a...

Ummm ... I feel a bit like an invader, seeing as I'm not a christian ... but as a spiritual person, I've been moved to tears by this song (well, really, by this whole album). Written, incidentally,...

Definintely Ti-dom from your sense of disconnect around values and emotions. Your answser to question 6 points to a well-differentiated Ne function as well, and your writing style has the typical...

Yay Sims! I've never assigned enneagram attributes to my sims when I play, but I regularly and strictly assign MBTI/JCF types to them, with the strict requirement that all my sims have a negative...

LOL! I really hope that yelling at computers doesn't make you crazy, cause I do it all the fing time :laughing: I don't think there's anything abnormal about it. Technology is fundamentally...

Doesn't look like 1024rot13 to me. I 1024rot13'd this message and it just looks like the same message! ps, make sure you don't 2048rot13 your message and time travel with it back to 1998 or you'll...

I know, right? I'm always forgetting to rewind my CDs :frustrating:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LMmugjs1kw Perfect for those Ti-channeling moments. I find most music distracting when I'm trying to think, but Die Kunst der Fuge provides some kind of...

Look out, NF invading your humor-sphere! This is NT humor. I especially like the 3rot13 command and the turbo command. maybe is pretty schweet, too :laughing: Aaaaaaand now I feel old.

It's not easy being around someone who's behaving violently regardless of where it's directed - it can be a pretty triggering experience, especially if we think of the object as a proxy for...
