First let me say I love the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm listening to the soundtrack right now, which is what gave me the idea for this thread. I'm wondering if Hunchback was really a good idea...

I am a true believer that every type equally has it's pluses and minuses and is just as good as any other type. But I don't get along equally well with every type. ISTJ is the hardest type for me. ...

I did say SOME SP's. I suppose I was thinking the Extroverted sorts, but didn't want to get pinned down too much. Thanks for helping explain in greater depth. I actually do have an ESFP friend,...

I say I am liked because my co-workers stop by my office to say hi, say flattering things about me at meetings, include me in office gossip, etc. At my volunteer job, the others chit chat with me,...

I don't talk with Sensors. I let them talk and I just listen. I don't know how they can prattle on about such mundane stuff. And they never seem to pause and ask me what I think. But I try to be a...

Well, there is good news and bad news. Where would you like me to start first? Let's start with the overall general statement. Human beings act best when things are at their worst. Remember...

I'm not a photographer, but I apppreciate photographic art. In fact, just last Thursday, I was at the Getty Museum looking at some great photographic art. A Photograph is just any old click. ...

This is a thinkers movie. Kafka wrote a lot of odd stories. He had a miserable life, where he felt terribly alienate. He worked in an office where he felt he felt lost in the automation--you will...

Interesting that you say this, and confusing to me. Maybe you can explain and help me. I agree that I am well liked at work, and I really do mean well liked. And I am well liked at church and my...

I personally like INFP's very much. I respect their spiritual journeys. And I like how they are so comfortable in their own shoes. And most of all, I really, really like how overtly romantic they...

Hi. I'm INFJ. One of the things I've noticed that seems to come up frequently on our forum is animated movies or their songs. I find it surprising that adults would still be so attached to what is...

I love internet forums. I love exploring different topics from religion to science to politics to philosophy, being able to harvest all sorts of different ideas from people for me to turn over in...

If a chair is empty, and there is no backpack or books on the immediate reading space, it is reasonable for a person to assume the seat is not taken. When I leave my chair in the library to go look...

I'm kind of odd, because what I think in my head is different than what I intuit. Head: how do you know you aren't imagining all this spiritual stuff? Maybe there's no God and all this stuff is...

I think you were mean not to tell her. You knew he was coming back, and you set her up to be embarrassed. If you had been her, you would have wanted to be told, therefore you should have told. ...

I'm wondering what you guys really think of us INFJ's? Do you think we are strange? That we think to much? Feel too much? That we are interesting? Do you find us oddly attractive? Or are we not...

Is morality objective or subjective, subjective meaning it is different for different people and different cultures. If subjective, that would mean that in some cultures like the Viking culture,...

First, did you have any reason to believe that the guy was going to return? Did he leave a backpack or books there? Had he left items there, or if he had mumbled something like, I'll be back,...

It is extremely important to me that I look good in a mirror. Now I do make adjustments for my age. I'm 56 and I expect myself to look middle aged. But there are just certain things. Like I battle...

I can only say that I matured much much more slowly in some ways. Not that I was childish. But I was just incredibly naive. When I was a kid in junior high, I had lived such a sheltered...

I experience this FREQUENTLY. I have often wondered about it, and I feel sorry for others who don't. For me, it helps make life worth living and gives me gratitude for the little things. In...

Other types love unicorns but INFJ's think they ARE unicorns. Oh wait, so do INFP's. Darn!

The thought that in a million years an ESTP would mistake themselves for an INFJ had me in stitches. :)

On a regular basis?? I most commonly eat a couple of scrambled eggs, a croissant, and iced tea. I am being a BAD girl lately -- I am NOT supposed to be having bread. I WISH I had the self...

Long ago I used to take Kung Fu. One day I mentioned to my Sifu that when he did KungFu forms I sometimes felt I was watching a Tiger. He said, Who told you that? I said, No one, it's just...

I am a firm believer that we should give our children names that MEAN something rather than for just being cool sounding. I named by daughter Charis because it means grace.

We are exceptionally complicated. She's probably feeling more than one thing, and at 2 or 3 months isn't entirely sure of what she's feeling herself. If she's texting you great stuff, not too much,...

If I date a man, he doesn't truly understand me LOL

Going to a party with a friend and there's no one else I know. I get there, and my one friend leaves me to go and socialize. And she's my ride home.

There is a Jewish expression, you save one man, you save the world. Here is an article about a Vet named Lee who is now terminal after having three strokes. When no one came to see him in the...

Music is something else entirely. To begin with, I know I will never feel as in love when with a person as when listening to music, odd as that may sound. For me it's Tchaikovsky. But all the...

May you find you way, and perceive what is best for you, finding happiness. I can tell you that if you have children, you only sacrifice your independence for what will seem a very short time when...

The college years are magical years. Everything that you learn is so fresh and exciting. It really IS hard to make ourselves vulnerable to getting hurt when, as INFJ's, we are so sensitive. I...

Are you asking why we speak tactfully? A better question is: why doesn't everyone? If on the other hand you are asking why we are indirect, aka Look how full the trash is, rather than,...

When I was younger, around 40, and my life was filled with more drama, I tested as a 4w3. A few months ago I tested again and came out as a 2w3.

We have a lot of wonderful threads where we share fa vorite books, sayings and songs. I pick up good stuff to read and listen to. One of my new favorite songs is Let me be your wings from the...

I feel the whole range of emotions depending on the vision/dream. For example, in a short vision of copying manuscripts with brush and ink in a Chinese monastery, I feel a sense of great serenity. ...

Awwww. I'm sorry you've been hurt. And I understand you're need to withdraw for a while. Sometimes a temporary period of celibacy can be a good thing, a time to rest and recover and reflect. I...

Well, yes. You were certainly being unfair, being jealous when it was supposed to be just friends, and jumping to conclusions. You created unnecessary drama. That would be hard on anyone, but is...

I can't tell for sure, especially since I'm 1. going by your report and 2. not viewing him physically. But based on his ultra gentle caring reactions to your pain and sleepless nights, fairly bad. ...

I thought the pictures were weird. Souls are not like anything on earth. We cannot imagine souls. I think we have individual souls, one each. But I think that souls are interconnected as well,...

I don't know what he'll do with the letter. I agree about the charm. He's definitely not going to burn the stuff or take pleasure in destroying it the way some types do.

Every INFJ is different, but I think he will keep the video for example simply because it reminds him of you.

Good job. If it helps, even if he doesn't contact you, he will always care about you.

I used to have a great Kung Fu teacher. He also cut hair at a salon. Just to get to know him better, I began going there. He flirted with me, and over time, I fell in love with him. It turned out...

Whatever you do, don't contact him. He needs SPACE. A lot of it. He got overwhelmed. The relationship got way too deep way too fast. And it wasn't reciprocal. He was the one doing all the...

Certainly SOMETHING is going on. But I can't say for sure what. Past lives is one hypothesis. It is a common hypothesis and a lot has been written about it already, so I won't go into this one,...

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if we each have our own soul, as opposed to being a part of one giant soul? Are you asking if our souls are different from each other, as...

Nature is cruel. Life feeds off of life, and heartlessly so. Even if you are vegetarian, you eat other life forms, and I'm not convinced that plants feel no pain when they are harvested. It alarms...'
