Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'The similar jokes are due to the characters being written by the same writer. ;-) Sawyer's persona is too dark and individualistic to be ENTP. In my experience, ENTP's have more of need to be part of...

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. She's definitely not INTJ. Maybe ISFP?

You're presupposing that the joy of competition necessarily includes the need to put others to shame while exalting oneself. I disagree that this is necessarily the case, and I also disagree with all...

I don't see competition as an evolutionary construct at all, and don't believe it necessarily has much to do with animalistic behavior. Sure that brand of competition exists, but I would argue it is...

INFP's, tell me this: What about the FUN of competition? For me competition creates conditions in which I enjoyably believe something is expected of me ... helping me to bring my best to the...

Becca Winstone (Ashley Judd) - Missing

Laura Roslin - Battlestar Galactica

Haha! Exactly! And Peace Coffee Shop!!! I was there today.

Anyone ever been to the corner of 33rd and Minnehaha?

I don't think memory is bound to Si - merely a perceiving function. Perhaps the KIND of memory is bound to whether it's Si or Ni. I have difficulty remembering isolated facts (which is perhaps more...

Please disregard

True, I know very nice ENTPs, but he doesn't have that detached analytic thing happening. He seems to evaluate more than he calculates. I've honestly been wondering if he MIGHT be an ENFJ who had a...

Yes. Machetes are the way to go ... all the way.

In my experience, INTJs come in so many different shapes and sizes (figuratively speaking, though ... obviously the literal aspect is true as well). The ones I know are extremely helpful people who...

I am so sorry for adding a hyphen. I just feel so horrible about that! ;-)

Aww man! Well, you did what you thought you needed to do. That's cool. But those videos were so cool. Anyway, God bless, Amber.

Although it won't deal with the question directly, I can give a brief synopsis of what I've seen observing my INTJ sister's relationship with her ISTP husband: They seem to high five it when it comes...

And now I'm back pedaling. John's an ENFP, or at least, the actor is. Hahaha. Why do we care about this so much?

I went back and watched a few episodes, and I've changed my mind yet again about John Locke. He's an ENFJ. He's very unswerving and rigid when it comes to his decisions, very organized. He's also...

At the risk of turning this thread into a ShareFavoriteClipsofData forum, I just can't keep this one to myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L6i5Jko-Lw4#!

Also, I just want to be perfectly clear: I have ALWAYS taken the firmest stance that indeed all bladibloost have rattatttatty; and this is true! I would even include the addendum, ...without...

Hahaha!!! YES, you're right. Thank you for bolstering my point about INTPs. That was perfect!

This is exactly what I was presuming to be meant by deductive - an argument that guarantees the truth of its premises.

Okay. I understand your point here. I wouldn't argue that science doesn't reach toward the specific conclusion; of course it does, but the premises upon which that conclusion is based always involves...

I think you may have been right in saying this idea was part of a faulty perception. It seems that INTPs are much more oriented to deductive reasoning than INTJs because of each's natural orientation...

ENTJs are way more action oriented than INTJs (typically). I attribute this to their Se acting toward Te objectives. So, by real time I mean, their perception is less in their head and more attuned...

I just went for a run, and something occurred to me. It may be wrong, but it's worth a shot. @arsenic, it just occurred to me that one subconscious reason for your starting this thread (I can't help...

First of all, this thread topic REALLY captures my interest, so I hope more INTPs and INTJs can chime in here. Being an INFJ, I feel like I may have a unique blend of both of these types, having...

I think this bears repeating ... so ... WHAT SHE SAID.

Um ... exactly! Haha!

I always love something personalized - but not just something the other person assumes I'm in to - rather something true and reflective of my relationship with the person. If it comes from you -...

Definitely Ne dominant! She's always speaking in metaphors. Yes she pays a lot of attention to fashion items (on American Idol), but I attribute that not to sensing functions but to her extroversion...

I say ENTJ. They're not all executives and CEO's, especially if they have a particular area of expertise. ENTJs are some of the most versatile people I've ever met. House comes to conclusions very...

Hmm ... do you think maybe it's the least significant personality dimension because you're very balanced yourself (ambivert)? To me it's probably the second greatest personality dimension behind...

Haha! Classic ISTP response! I love it.

I'll take one Robohug Pie Machine! Just make sure it's programmed not to hug immediately after dispensing the pie.

John ventures out on his own, making his own rules (Ne) and following his own personal code (Fi). ENFPs tend to challenge the system, and John does this in response to Jack's SJ leadership. He is...

Also consider the shadow functions at work in a character addicted to heroin, but you have a good point. A lot of us type 4 introverts can want to be the center of attention at times, particularly...

Okay, I'll give you Jack being an ESTJ. We agree on Sayid. But Charlie an introvert? And a perceiver? Look at how much he wants decisions to be made no matter how much more information is really...

I think this all depends on one's definition of religious. The word itself may produce a gag reflex in an ENTP because of the implied ball and chain and/or feeling of irrational restrictiveness to...

I would say INTP

Yes! I'd say both Griff and Melody. Such a great movie!

I'm bored, so I thought I'd type as many of the Lost characters as I could, leaving out a few more obscure ones. I categorized them according to MBTI type (adding the Enneatype) and emboldened the...

Funny, I had actually just recently changed my opinion of Merlin (and Colin). I think INFJ too.

Fair enough. :-)

So ... is that WHY you like bugs? Haha.

Yeah definitely more INFP. Made me smile too though!

Ni/Ti vs. Ti/Si. Let's go! Bring it!

Oh, more brilliance! Great interview, both of you. I really enjoyed both perspectives. I always feel challenged by the Te perspective, in a good way, like a Why can't I just be more that way; it...

Whoo-hoo! That was such an awesome video! I'm literally (well maybe not literally) shaking with excitement after having watched you two talk. I related so much with ALL OF IT...esp. the paradox of...'
