'She strikes me as having a lot of Ne and Fe, but I'm not sure of her type. Why do you type her as INFJ? That's an interesting idea.
This really resonates, and I think there are a lot of dichotomies inherent in the INFJ personality that result from a Ni-Ti inner world which is possibly the most abstract, detached combination, and...
I relate to all of this, and it is a curiosity to me because I could write a set of encyclopedias on all the reasons I should be sexually suppressed, and I guess I am except in a trusted...
I would suggest finding a time when she is not stressed, but calm and clear, and ask her directly about it. Ask what you've done to cause the problem, and what both of you can do to solve it. You...
:( Is there a way you can travel or take some time apart? Some people do things like teach english overseas for six weeks in the summer. That is just a random example of the type of thing that could...
Wow, this is really surreal to read because I definitely relate to all of it. I've ended up with a lot of chronic fatigue too, and I think it is because there is so much pain and problem solving that...
Both times I ended long term relationships, i took about a year getting the person set us as perfectly as possible, so it would be easy for them. This last time was the hardest, but I made sure he...
[/I][/COLOR]I have these contrasts, although I mostly feel a lot of inner dichotomies between the Ni-Ti loop and the Fe-Se loop. I can get very lost in the abstract in a lot of unresolved thinking...
Blue Heron
Olivia Dunham from Fringe Also Jane Eyre
I have known and loved many different NF artists and have recently been reflecting on how different various types of imagination can be. I recently went to visit my sister (INFP) and she told me...
Since I don't know about your profession, his profession, and/or any hobbies involved, I have no idea how you would apply this advice. I can relate to being attracted to shy, distant guys and am...
Do you have a place in your house where spiders go to die?
I now officially hate most of humanity and distrust virtually the whole lot of them. My feelings are especially directed at socially competitive women who bully each other by innocently flirting...
I'm trying to overcome insecure jealousy now, and am wondering if i'm even ready for a relationship anymore. My first serious relationship I was the jealous type with an INTP guy who felt zero...
I'm back to thinking he's INFJ. He has way too much Ni and Fe when you talk to him. I think he is just Enneagram 9 like I probably am. I'm also extremely laid back and drawn towards music and dance...
Are you an INTP? I'm an INFJ stuck in a Ni-Ti loop :oP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCUCBCL8KKQ rather INFPish, but I'm enough of an NF to be lurvin this one...
It seems like a reasonable enough question and yet there are those inclined to ingest anything with colorful enough sparkles.
I'm a little confused, but my main advice to everyone is Don't step in or eat the poop, even if it is rainbow colored - *especially* if it is rainbow colored.
One thing that surprises me about myself is that I could write an entire encyclopedia set of books to list all the reasons I should be sexually inhibited, but I'm not. I had sexual abuse, a mother...
I find it helpful to re-contextualize the question into something that can be thought about from a distance. In life, would it be better to experience physical sensation or feel nothing at all? ...
I felt terribly isolated in high school and as life progressed it has gradually gotten better. One thing I would tell any young INFJ, especially if lonely and depressed, is that the only certainty is...
Do you find this true of INFJs, or do you assume people who converse with you in this manner are INFJs? Coherency is important to me, but having a dominant Perceiving function it is an impossible...
Human attraction is rather instinctual and random. I've read that by the age of five our impressions of what kinds of people make us feel safe and appeal to us are set. I've noticed in myself that I...
An abstraction of the abstract. I'll try to be more specific later, but I find systems of symbols and ideas to be too concrete. Concepts can exist without linguistic definition, so it's like fluid...
Empathy
I also agree with those who posted: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Amelie As much as I enjoyed the Matrix, I would classify it more as an INTJ head-trip, but still a Ni based...
May Carrie Donnie Darko Jane Eyre (even a little telepathy going on here) Nell (although not necessarily because she is an INFJ because she might not be.)
When reading over lists of ENFP musicians, I have to say I think most of the ones I've seen listed are ESFPs. I have known and worked with several hard-core ENFP musicians and they have no filter...
This is some of what Jung says about inferior Se in the INFJ, and I find I relate to quite a bit of it. We spend so much time thinking about Ni, that it's easy to forget to think about how we relate...
Wow, Daniel Day Lewis is a hard-core INFJ. It's great to see such a clear example of a male INFJ. He has the distant objectivity/empathy dichotomy nailed. Thanks for sharing that, @BlackFandango.
I was a bit more of the initiator, which is also a shock because I'm horrible at flirting and dating. I just take risks when it's important to me. He is much more of a responder than initiator. I...
I don't think he is an extrovert because his presence is very quiet. One of the first times I met him was after we had all performed on a concert and he just quietly came up and stood next to me and...
Thanks, chimeric. That is helpful. Like me his main passion is music, but a completely broad range of music, and also astronomy and a sense of meaning and understanding the nature of the universe....
Based on this he definitely isn't ENFP. He is an unusually good listener and he doesn't talk and move that fast. He will go way out of his way to accommodate people and will stay in a relationship if...
Thanks, Miya, that is an interesting and helpful approach. I'll have to think about it quite a bit though. I have links to videos of him performing, but since they aren't anonymous, I hesitate to...
Perhaps I should mention that the bands he likes to see are often Black Metal or Death Metal, and some have the most intensely dark emotional expression known to mankind, but some of them are about...
The funny thing is that the guy I'm involved with feels like he falls exactly between the two types. I also have a laid-back, silly streak. There is a confusing way that people whose dominant...
Trent Reznor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JXFCq5QaE0
I agree with the first part. Is it horrible to say that I don't trust anyone, including myself, implicitly in all things?
I want to draw charcoal images of a particular person and he agreed to it, but the impulse in me to do it is much stronger than what would be normal. I think about it a lot. I think it's that whole...
In some ways the differences might seem obvious, but sometimes I'll meet someone who is clearly an NF and clearly an N-dom, but a case could be made for either type. What are some of the differences...

Like with most things, I have an inner dichotomy of clinginess and independence. I'm mostly independent, but when I have no one in an environment I can count on, I feel a great deal of pain. I don't...
NTPs are evil demons who roam the earth to feed on our souls.
Dear Bratty, Selfish, Manipulative Girl, If we lived in caveman days, I would have knocked you out with a club and dragged you to the nearest village of idiots a year ago, but alas we don't....
I only take a lead role if I'm working on a people oriented system professionally, like planning a musical or a recital. In that way I'm organized and can plan out rehearsals and cast people well,...
Clearly, but also nuanced. Metaphor and symbol are an important part of that. Let me give an example of one type of direct communication I have found ideal. If I'm interacting with a person and...'
