'Honestly, I'm up in the air about this one. I think I would need more information before I can form a solid opinion. I did consider consulting way back (and by consulting, I assume you mean...
I think your query contains two questions, which are probably best addressed individually: (1) Do you want/like leadership positions at work? My first instinct: hell yes. Not that I'm...
It was my pleasure :smile:. Hope everything goes well for you.
Hi, fellow INFJ here. My degrees are in: finance and law. You weren't the only one who followed your parents' wishes, haha. I got into these fields because I was bright, extremely bright. My...
I have often read descriptions of INFJs as enigma. I had thought of these as simply metaphors to embody the complex personalities of INFJs ... but it wasn't until today that I was actually called...
This whole passage struck a chord with me. It's exactly what I've been learning recently, that as much as you want to intervene, sometimes it's for the better - which ultimately includes better for...
Have you ever accurately foreshadowed something that seemed unlikely, or at most only a chance possibility, at the time? I sometimes wonder whether Ni - observing the underlying patterns of the...
But I wonder whether we spend too much energy trying to discern whether it's the right situation to disclose or not (I relate: this is my natural tendency). We can save a lot of effort by...
No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. I wonder how many INFJs...
Thank you. I felt like that today. To have you express (and so beautifully) what I felt so poignantly on the exact same day is uncanny. The coincidence makes me think that INFJs are like...
I think God has given each of us a problem to solve in life.
I resonate with this. Although, I feel responsible for certain strand of relationships dynamics - I feel responsible for ensuring the well-being of the people around me. Self-blame occurs in the...
As INFJs, our Fe is only secondary, subservient to our Ni. And since we're Ni-doms (with inferior Se), I think we're sometimes not aware of how we can impact on other people - of how our NF comes...
Yes, very much so. In fact, what a wonderful way to put it. You have managed to capture an indescribable feeling that I have long tried to put into words. And I'm glad I'm not the only one ;)
I love my boyfriend/soulmate. It transcends everything that I have experienced and will experience, pervades through every thought and feeling. There's something inextricably caught up with me in...
Dear charming INFPs, an INFJ has a question for you: What is Fi in Love like? How does it make you feel? How do you choose to express it (if you do)? As an Fe-user, when I am in love, I want...
There seems to a vast array of (fictional) characters available as results on this one so I'm curious to see which ones INFJs would 'type' as :proud:. The questionnaire is designed by the Wake Forest...
I guess the thing that you have to bear in mind when approaching INFJs is that we are Ni-Fe users, that is, we are geared towards understanding people at a deeper level and developing meaningful...
I got back from drinks with some peers tonight, and it's left me rather perturbed by what I'd experienced. Some obnoxious, loud-mouthed ESXX (designated as the 'party captain' of the group) made...
@Haydn: I think you drastically misunderstood the point and message of my post. By in general, I meant relationships in general - romantic, parental, friendship etc. I did not mean that...
Though I'm not in a romantic relationship with one, my father is an ESTJ, and someone I know pretty well (understatement), so I can attest that you made a remarkably insightful and accurate list...
Had the perfect INFJ day today :happy:. Woke up, and sent a message to my loved one, to let him know that I've been thinking of him. (Fe) Then went to the gym for an hour and left feeling great...
@meiming8 : ha, so it happened to you too! :tongue: In fact, I was telling my ENFP last night how I've finally understood this poster: ...
INFJ here. He sounds like he has a mental problem, unfortunately :S. There was something very strange about him, from your OP. From your description, and as much as I tried to place myself in his...
Dear Life, Thank you. An INFJ.
1 Corinthians 13:4 - 7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps...
True story: I've lost track of the number of times girls have gone up to me and asked me, very interestedly, whether I had an (older) brother - the presumption being that they would be highly...
Today, the other single guy from work asked me out for lunch again. I had to decline because I had already made arrangements with another friend. He said Sure, no worries - catch you next week. He...
@JungleDisco: I understand where you're coming from. Of course every student, or even mild observer, of MBTI - but preferably every student - should understand that Myers-Briggs is not accepted in...
Yikes : Actually, that was more of an Fe attack :p ... I've seen platorepublic around the forums and he's a cool guy - genuinely inquisitive about things and open-minded. No need to take...
I don't know for certain if I've felt what you're experiencing now, but I share your pain and, if I may, I want to share just one more thing: As an INFJ, I've never reached any sort of resolution...
I personally liked his flaws. The way he thought; the sorrow he held about things. They reminded me of my own - and it touched me like two raindrops falling into one. I didn't mean to sound so...
Diversity is the spice of life -- and here's a little appreciation for all the different variants of INFJs which make us the chameleons of the MBTI world. Abstract future thinkers, Ni-doms with...
As INFJs, our mind is a strange place. Ni, Fe, Ti, Se ... all residing within a mix of Enneagrams. So here's a lil thread for understanding, and appreciating, the strange minds of INFJs...
I was speaking in general based on comments across the forum (not yours) - haha, Type 3 is the most hated (stereo) type :laughing: I actually thanked your post but somehow it's not showing. Thanks...
No, I relate far more with INFJs than I do with people of my own Enneagram Type (Type 3). Not surprising I guess – having come from a competitive home, a competitive high school, a competitive...
Everything in our lives is just a symbol, with the meaning we've chosen to bestow on it. ^This is where our emancipation lies.
Sometimes you need to go beyond the emotional style of her language, to understand the subtext. I admit that whilst her language could be a tad more respectful, but sometimes you have to be...
As the title says. To be clear, I didn't write the below article that I'm going to post up. But it manages the articulate a lot of what I've been observing and reflecting for a long time and...
Is this where I'm supposed to tase - oops, I mean tease - you :tongue: ? Edit: Your dog is adorable by the way.
I'll be brave ... *takes a deep breath* I had a day off work today, and I took a break from writing to share in a beautiful afternoon: ...
It's a beautiful day.
Lol. I'm flattered, honest. But I'm serious when I say that I just want to enjoy the company of ENFJs without any messy non-platonic feelings in the way. I'm not looking for anyone at the moment, so...
Hmm ... I'm 22, a female INFJ, like to consider myself as a good human being, highly educated (last year of law school, honours), pretty ... and single. Guess your friends could be me in 10-30 years...
With yet another ENFJ falling for me, an INFJ, again, I've realised that I haven't come across an ENFJ guy who hasn't fallen for me, or at least entertained romantic prospects. As much as I can be...
Yes, we're slow to initiate ... but we are quite protective at the same time! So I think it comes down to whoever gets jealous first :tongue:. This INFJ guy had feelings for me for a while but...
I had to take 40 questions instead of the standard 25 because he 'still couldn't figure out my type' :P Anyway, here are my results: 33% INFJ 20% ENFJ 10% INTJ 9% ENTP ...
I haven't read all the posts beyond the second page, so quick did my Ni strike and I might add some more stuff later. But speaking as an INFJ who is trying to come up with a practical...
Without wanting to take away from the vibe of this thread, you didn't tell the whole truth. Sure, you should seek self-understanding and self-acceptance; you should have an identity outside of...
I would be scared. INFJs all around the world would be systematically hunted down ... for the ENTPs' amusement.'
