Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Her persona is very 8. Of course that is superficial and exaggerated. But why do people think 7 instead of 8? I haven't seen evidence that she is not 8 though 7 makes sense too.

Mind blown. Apparently I effing suck at typology half the time.

I'm glad some people find this post relevant/entertaining/useful even though I have determined I am not in fact INTP, so may be misinformed about them. Then again, maybe not all of you are INTP...

If that's the way you want to think about it by all means I can't stop you. Have fun. P.S. Some philosophers think facts are imaginary.

I was not actually trying to say all INFJ's are like this. Only that a sufficiently large number are as to merit elaboration and explanation. Personally I rarely score as INFJ. I arrived at that...

While I can't say you and @Abraxas et al are wrong because I would have to read all your sources and data and that would take a long time, I can say the following. Incorporating cognitive functions...

So why is it that the official Myers Briggs website talks about cognitive functions? And didn't Jung's theories come before the letter typing system?

I don't tend to. I like to have an idea of what is going to happen. I work in restaurants and I do enjoy having to conform to a changing environment, but if it gets too chaotic I get nervous,...

Myers Briggs type theory includes cognitive functions with it. The 4 letters don't really mean much without them. In fact, just going by the dichotomies creates more mistyping I think because if you...

I definitely think true development to be one's most effective and empowered comes from developing the tertiary and inferior functions. And then if you want a real challenge try to get in touch with...

I've never been able to consistently or reliably do this, although I can relate to the Ni-Ti bit. I have to at least have several well thought out ideas to work with if I am going to pull something...

Au contraire; I am on a facebook group for only INFJ's and someone asked a question about qualities you don't have but admire, and several people talked about these problems. Procrastination was a...

ISFJ Si- focuses on details and the environment, physical experiences, and body parts and functions Fe- personifies everything, describes their interpersonal interactions, mock comments about...

ISFJ Si- focuses on details and physical experience Fe- personifies everything, describes their interpersonal interactions, mock comments on rudeness Ti- sometimes throws some logic in there...

Would anyone like to provide some specific examples from their own lives or of people you know?

So INFJ's are J's, but we still have issues sometimes with J things like procrastination, motivation, discipline, consistency, timeliness, and decisiveness. INTJ's sometimes have similar issues...

I am and my INFJ cousin is. Like painting. I also do other forms of art including writing, but I'm not that good at poetry. It seems to require a form of emotional expression that clashes with my Ti.

312882 Another painting for Grandma's birthday. My camera kind of sucks.

I say ESFP, but that's just an initial impression.

A painting I did for my grandparents for Christmas. 274682

Although, trying to emulate one, I sometimes imagine I can do things they can do really well and it gives me more energy. Like, imagining how it would be to naturally just be good at doing things....

I don't think I do this more often when I'm stressed. When I'm stressed I listen to music a lot and eat sugar and have a low energy level, and get more snappish and irritable. When I'm happy I'm more...

Good information. However, I wish discussions of relationships didn't just center on serious, long-term romantic relationships, especially since if a person thinks they have one soul mate (usually an...

INFJ's don't know what they want. True or false? Please discuss.

She seems totally ESXP to me. I don't know which. So much Se.

You love packing for trips and do it 5 days early. And if you had your way you would do it a month early.

I know she's a culture-appropriating fool and I don't care for her music. My first guess was ESFP, then ISFP, but I thought the song on the radio I heard was by Gwen Stefani at first and she's been...

I wonder if this is more Se.

Why do people think he's an F? My initial impression was ENTP. ENFP could be right, I just don't see it. It's frequently not easy for me to differentiate between the two types.

I lot of people type Light as INFJ. I could see XNTJ though. I think ESFP for Misa and possibly Matsuda. As for Mello, yeah I don't know. He could be in an Ne-Te loop.

Oh wow, this is a long thread. Have people typed the characters in Sekirei? I'm thinking: Musubi- ESFP Tsukiumi- ISFJ Matsu- INTJ Miya- INFJ Homura- INXJ Matsu- ISTJ Karasuba- ISTP?

Hey. I was on here awhile ago but then abruptly left. I didn't really get a chance to get to know many people well, so I might as well be new. (I've been hanging out at Typology Central.) Well,...

I too used to be this way.

That's not the right answer.

This is helpful. I can see some of myself in this. The trouble is I still feel like I do Ti better than Fi because of the emotional component, and what looks like Fi in me could just as easily be Ti...

I keep a mental one. Fi: x,y,z... Se: blah blah ISFP traits: definitely this... Yeah you might be INTP if you are obsessed with systems of analytical categorization. Or you might just be...

Gosh I alienate people everywhere I go. I'm a failure. No one understands me. Life is pain. I should just become a 1. Or an 8. Excuse me while I go pout in the woods.

So basically I guess I'm saying I'm 9 and 6, and here's why.

It's me, not you. Really.

(see my edit) Well I don't think I'm making potshots or getting offended. I just wondering in my #6 way if I'm not as awesome as I think.

Kk Yeah I know the point wasn't to be scientific, just that it doesn't not fit. Like someone might read it and be like, Hilarious! Oh yeah, and I know that type! Maybe they're INTP and not INFP....

Should I get butt hurt about the fact that people seem to be more entertained by the replies to my post than the original, despite the fact that mine are actually grounded in typology? Even though it...

Hm, there is a difference between just saying something to be outrageous and entertaining, and being outright offensive and destructive. I guess it's a subjective distinction. But anyway, off...

Here's another one: do your emotions often conflict with your values? I'm almost always ashamed of mine for one reason or another. Maybe I'm just dysfunctional this way. Maybe I'll be jealous in a...

I have some questions about emotions. Along with some pictures of cute animals for your Fi. :) Do your emotions ever confuse you? Are you aware of what your emotions are, or do they look...

L from Death Note!! He's so hot. And smart and cute and funny.

I have a lot of things in common with this thread. I'm kind of an INXP. I save bugs and worms all the time. And I have an imaginary world with imaginary friends. I imagine I'm all sorts of things....

It does. That and I'm not really sure about what people mean by troll.

I don't think so... I'm just leery of stalkers, so that is my emoticon.

#7 is more the political activist/anarchist type. #6 is totally different, but can definitely be motivation for 7.'
