'INFJs will be found anywhere life forces them to be. If you desire an INFJ so badly, what you need to learn how to do is to be able to identify one when they do cross your path.
Thought it was Ne (and Si), at the time.
And yet I've survived this long, using Ti so much that I was even in belief that I was an INTP for 2+ years.
Ever make a move yourself? What defines the difference (between just making interest obvious and taking the initiative)?
Yes, this does mean something; thank you.
While I was happy with what I believed I was, I was still envious of Ni, so yeah, I ain't complaining now or anything. And thanks.
Life isn't easy for INFJs. Cheers!
Ah yes - Adymus the author of The Many Faces of INFJ article. I do believe that individual knows his stuff.
Some reckon that INFJs aren't so rare and rather it's just that many are mistyped. For the same reason why I should justify my claimed type if someone challenges it.
For about two or three years now Ix92ve believed that I was an INTP (based on Internet tests results, but more so on reading into the theory myself). It turns out that I am actually an INFJ, but with a...
Feelers tend to have a larger capacity for good and evil, in my opinion.
Yeah; I would imagine that a lot of them would be in a pit of inexperience, cowardice and lack of confidence. Furthermore (in heterosexual scenarios), because of our generally sexist society, females...
Yeah, it turns out that the natural duty of relationship initiation (probably) reflects Jungian psychoanalysis personality type differences more than it reflects gender differences (I'm not...
Well, a more fluidly creative Ni-user could come with more strong aha moments than a not so fluidly creative Ne-user, coming up with less little aha moments. But eh, well, I suppose...
Well actually, I stole that joke from this: INTPs make ideal companions to INTJs, as neither of them notices they're in a relationship. But yeah, go get them tiger.
I'd imagine everyone manipulates each other to some degree, Linda123. It's not always bad manipulation, and even the bad of it can be very minor.
Wow - interesting stuff people. I know I'm not an INFJ, but I don't think I could ever do something like that; I don't think I could handle such a shift in lifestyle.
I think MoonLight's nailed it here, or, there is no true self really at all (as GreenCoyote might be suggesting), although the latter would be less useful to humans I think. If the former is...
We INTPs love the Ne rush - keep it coming!
Yeah, tbh INFJs, I think some of you need to have a read of The Many Faces of INFJ article, or just any of the countless INFJ threads and posts where a lot of you claim that you wish you could be...
Haha! Too bad in INTP-INTP romantic relationships, neither one knows it's a relationship. :P
INTPs can offer simple, basic, innocent, genuine, unmanipulative love. INTPs can be very honest and loyal. INTPs can be very thoughtful. (I'd say are or tend to in replace of can, for...
Yeah, but then I said that I conceded that the picture reflects Ni more than Ne; Ni reeks of ah-ha moments. Ni ones are more powerful though; Ne isn't quite as powerful, it's more like...
Internet IQ tests are basically complete rubbish (and I'd be willing to debate the validity of the controlled institutionalized ones as well); they can be fun though, at least. Anyways, to...
Haha, this is an area where INFJs' power is useless on INTPs - INTPs are generally honest anyway, and sometimes INFJs simply can't accept that they don't have any alternative motives than the ones...
...? The whole problem with 'fake' people concept reeks of Fi!
Except you know your own future, which means you can change it if you want to. Yeah and also sometimes it's best not to do anything even when one can.
Do you mean you still get 'aha' moments with Ne?
Ok, yeah, I'll admit that the picture represents Ni better than it would Ne, but I don't think the words do (endless ideas). On another note, there was nothing really there pertaining to INFJs any...
Seems more Ne-ish, imo.
I don't have a picture, but I composed the text; someone knock yourself out and make it: INFJ The eyes that hate because they care. Edit: I know it should be something more like the...
Basically I had a theory that INFPs are the best lie detectors because I reckon they can taste the lies with their dominate function (Fi) backed up with their auxiliary (Ne) which can help read...
(I have posted this thread in both the INFJ and INFP boards.) Which type is the best at detecting the lies and reading the emotions of others? I think I've heard around the place that people...

People are a product of the universe.
So, does that mean that us humans, when we exchange memories, only truly comprehend each other's experiences when we also experience the emotions felt then? Can emotions be understood by one who...
Maybe a thought-experiment would assist here: Let's suppose an entity could exist which possesses no effective emotion; for example, some kind of advanced robot or possibly some sort of alien or a...
This was an odd situation indeed. Let none be judged by it.
Maybe your thoughts did exist in my mind at a point, which I would have then concluded: surely you wouldn't be that stupid for thinking like that. Such intelligence belittlement arguments can go...
This is true; I must have had a false memory and I apologize. However, if you didn't believe that suicide was easy or hard relative to climbing out of the depression pit, then what were we...
Unfortunately such a stance on this issue is still an attempt to manipulate people. You're still conveying to people that even though they were forced into this existence, they still don't have a...
You were the one who said suicide is the easy way out; only after you put pressure on me did I concede that sometimes suicide is drastically easier than climbing out of the depression pit, if the...
I believe you possess a healthy(?)/good(?) attitude towards this issue; it seems to taste much better than calling people heroes or ghosts over suicide. However, I don't believe suicide is...
Could be the tertiary Fi of INTJs as well. The lower a function's position on the hierarchy, the more basic it tends to be. Simple values like suicide is wrong might suffice for many INTJs. The...
Yeah, I can relate to those very much, haha.
Yeah, get ya. I didn't articulate it but that was a part of what I wished to convey when I mentioned something from Saint Darkness72 might suit your taste more.
This is the longest description profile for INTPs I have come across on the Internet. It is ridiculously long so only read it if you have the required amount of patience and interest. I am aware...
Once my Fe cools down the grudge usually goes away. Sometimes, though, I will compose a principle to be applied to that person for pragmatic purposes which may seem grudge-like (this is the...
Initially, I was composing my post to be a little more uncertain, being along the lines of: if you are referring to the cognitive functions hierarchy, ... (the uncertainty came from the lack of...
(Introverted) iNtuiting is the dominate function of INFJs; (Extraverted) Feeling is their auxiliary function.'
