Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'entheos Thank you for mentioning that language will make people either feel closer to you or far away from you. Use it wisely. I have been trying to educate my friends about the Fe vs. Fi styles of...

I don't know what is the average time to make a decision but we are not impulsive at all. We have very good self control when it comes to delayed gratification. Some decisions perhaps I could make...

entheos Thanks for your thoughts. I originally wasn't referring to the context of a romantic relationship, but I hadn't thought of saying I'll tell you later probably just because in these...

entheos That is interesting how as an INFP the go to question is Are you okay? I have to say that as an INFJ, I don't particularly like this question. I've been asked it in situations where I...

I'm an INFJ and I have had (and given away) many copies of the Strengths Finder book. I believe my top 5 are (in no particular order): Belief Context Deliberative Developer Positivity But...

LordPixel Ohh, I misunderstood what you meant about girls not giving you hints about their interest, as them literally not speaking. But exactly, I heard that some of the most gorgeous models have...

LordPixel Well, okay fine... let's talk about the INFP twin then. He had an approach very similar to yours, only dating girls he already knew from school or work (which is practically what it takes...

Eefje Hello there, I'm not an INFP but I'd like to just share a few thoughts which you can ponder if you like. My first question is, How do you know Rick is INFP? I ask this question because many...

1. Do you enjoy board/ card games? Yes! Mostly board games and party games, not so much card games (sometimes I just can't get into it) 2. Any favorite types or specific games you like? I've been...

I can see how some people (introverts) would love to go to someone's house and enjoy a cooked meal and then start a long term relationship (free of bumps and hassles). Actually though, knowing a...

Hmn, well I stumbled across a great post the other day explaining what INFP's are all about in bullet form. I was surprised that the main 2 things that light them up are psychology and philosophy....

LordPixel, that reminds me of the one time I entered a dance competition. I went to the fabric store and purchased a print that I really liked and had a seamstress make it into a drape skirt for my...

Keeping friends is definitely difficult. I thought it was difficult in my teenage years once we all left to go to different colleges, but it's just as hard now that I'm an adult (unless we all work...

LordPixel, I think your style of communicating can seem so poetic that I can see how some of us types find it even a bit cheesy. Hmn... but I will say that once, an INFP song-writer was singing a...

Grad0507 I can see why you may not open up as quickly or easily with your Scorpio influences. However, on a whole if you were charting progressions of relationships that start at the same time, those...

As for the dialogue of how Ne and Ni argue, I find it quite amusing :p I can remember one time a Ne friend who said, I'm sure if you explain to the staff nicely, they'll let you use the elevator...

LordPixel, I did get the feeling he felt he didn't deserve my compliments. (I try to make them sound funny... like, I said he's so good at drawing, it's like disgusting. In that case, he laughed.)...

I also see a similarity between INTP and INFP when it comes to finding a statement that could potentially be proven false. I noticed on this one poll that most INFP's said they felt most similar to...

LordPixel, that's an interesting perspective ... I don't know anybody in a relationship with an ENTJ. Aren't they a bit rare? But as for your notion that women want a man who is easy to deal with...

entheos I see a surprising amount of similarities between us I believe because of our Aquarius sun sign. We are close in age as well. I've heard many things say that in my later years I will more and...

LordPixel Actually, as an INFJ ... I would disagree with the whole Alpha Male thing. A lot of people even confuse what an Alpha Male is. I had this conversation with a friend recently about how...

entheos Thank you for chiming in on the conversation :) For many years, my guy friends have commented that I don't know what I want in a man OR life OR in general. As a 95% tested J I was...

Hmn, I guess the SO's and SP's that I know seem to achieve less than the SX's. Some common phrases that I hear them say are, Oh well... and Meh. Maybe I just haven't really met many healthy SO's...

Oh wow, another good point that you brought up... INFP is like the most idealistic of us all, aren't they? And practicality is what I desperately need in a relationship. 5 non-negotiables... #5...

That's a shame ... I mean, I get wayyy too much criticism from society for being a woman who asks out men in general, so now I just am too hesitant. I would hang out with him. We haven't done that...

Just curious here, if an INFP man tells me I hope to see you soon ... what exactly does that mean? I mean, can't he like ask me to hang out? Or is that too much for his Fi nature to risk?

I have mostly had hair that was longer than my shoulders, but when it became fashionable to have really long hair (almost to your lower back) I would grow my natural hair to that length. Some people...

In general, men do not respond well to being criticized or when you are complaining while upset. They either go into defense mode (as if it was a battle) or they feel deeply wounded. Since your INFP...

This is a great list! #20 made me laugh! I totally agree. Sometimes, I say: Impossible for you, not for me. But it's not like I can necessarily teach someone how to achieve what they think is...

Sometimes, it takes me a while to understand what exactly an Fi-user was so offended about during our conversations. In one instance, I was specifically ASKED my opinions on a subject (that was...

I remember several instances where if I waited for others to initiate with me, that hardly ever happened so I developed a pattern of always initiating with other people when I was new in a situation....

Wanted Traits: 1) Ambitious (knows where they are heading in life and not just looking to be a hedonist) 2) Social & easy to get along with (if my friends don't like him, chances are it won't work...

I try really hard to make strong connections with people and find that they will still do whatever they want to do and like whoever they want to like (sometimes excluding me from the group on...

Lovable ... Yes, finding movies to watch with guys can be a difficult thing. I have a handful of guy friends who actually watch movies that are gender friendly. Usually, I end up having to sway to...

Hah, you're from Texas! :) I can't stand when people talk during tv unless it is to make one funny comment like She does not think she can get away with that ______ ! I also watch tv with the...

Concerning people who watch a TV show together and consider that quality time ... I want to know how long their relationship is going to last. There is a reason why when you date somebody, the dates...

I agree with so many things everyone has said. My experience is that if I'm in an organization or social setting where we meet regularly (and rely on everyone showing up so there is even a meeting at...

The difference between SP, SP and SX variants is what you pay attention to when you are in a group setting. Are you aware of other people's emotions and reactions, are you aware of only your own...

As for the Quality Time conversation, I agree I want the other person to tell me about news they have etc. but when it becomes one-sided and I realized they forgot to tell me something incredibly...

Quality time is also very important to me. Sometimes, I have to limit the amount of time I spend with someone so that they don't reach for their phones. I'd rather have a shorter amount of quality...

Type Sixes, Loyalists ... I am curious how important it is to you that your friends and loved ones relate to you according to your love languages. (Please only respond if you are a Type Six or have a...

I think with the exception of very outgoing extroverts, generally you can expect to have to initiate with people. Even people who I already consider my friends don't necessarily come up to chat...

Yes, I've noticed how ISTP's lack in taking initiative and I assumed it was because they do not plan things in general. Although they may need more space than most introverts do, if they are...

I think first, you have to truly comprehend what is introversion vs extroversion and what it means to be a thinker vs. feeler or sensor vs. intuitive. Check out these links below. It's obviously...

I agree that my vibe from you is mainly ISTJ (although I can see why you would test INFJ, but you can't go by an online quiz, you have to take the full-length test and not introduce your own biases...

Being a Thinker doesn't mean you don't have feelings or are not sensitive. And being a Feeler doesn't mean you aren't a rational thinker. I'm a pretty strong Feeler and if I were to host a...

I agree with everything WildBlue has said. I get exhausted by small-talk questions that people ask me, in an attempt to get to know me. The running joke that I have is once I lived in a town where...

My reply is not necessarily for OP, but for anyone who is reading this post and wants to actually BETTER themselves. If you're a guy and you've only asked out 5 women in your entire life......

People began to think that I was an extrovert by the time I was 21 and graduating college. The people who lived in my dorm thought I was extroverted because I am very social and sought them out to...

I think he sounds like an ESFP. Although I have very few ESTPs in my life, I have many more ESFPs and they are easy for me to spot. They are quite different in my opinion. The only thing I'm not...'
