Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

I'm mostly interested in hints as to how to make myself understandable to people of types that differ from my likely type - especially on the S/N and P/J-dichotomies. Could be with regards to dating...

I would be interested in any high-quality resources that might help my understanding of my type and that of others; how to work with and around them. I suppose we could continue this on pm? You've...

You're not one for hard and fast conclusions, are you? Within the cognitive functions paradigm, you went from me being INTP, because of me wandering subjects pretty well and therefor having auxiliary...

@drmiller100 Ha! Well, well... I'm Scandinavian, Danish, and I think the tendency to suppress Feeling among males is a bit less strong here than in the US. Still, I'm sure there is bit of the...

I have written this post over a couple of days, so if the tone of voice in it seems inconsistent and changing - that's why. The post is divided into three parts, each aimed at each of the posters to...

Now, when I first started searching for my type on this board, the first questionnaire led to a conclusion of 'very strong Ti'; the INTP or ISTP-type, with a leaning towards INTP because of what I...

Okay, let's go about this another way. I do believe that looking at the dichotomies with regards to typing is a relevant way to go about it. The problem is - if you just look at the letters,...

I'm sure you're an unique individual, just as darklands is, with all sorts of wonderful strengths, horrible weaknesses and interesting personality traits. That is completely irrelevant, however. ...

The types that would have inferior Ne would be those with dominant Si - that is, ISFJ and ISTJ.

1. test 2. test Average 76-100 Fi, Si Fi, Si Fi, Si

I think that it's interesting that you identify so much as an 'F' and answer these tests as if there's no doubt you're an F, and that you keep the option open of being anything but a 'Feeling'...

Sounds very inferior Ni to me. I'll buy the majority of the rest of your analysis. ESTP.

I'm not trying to lecture you. I do think you are being a bit blind, though.

It's not a matter of treating people like 'special little snowflakes'. It's a matter of understanding the fact that not everyone sees, interprets and judges the world, and their experiences, in the...

That's a bit... Gut hunches aren't always intuition; what one interprets as gut hunches isn't always the same from person to person. It is the character of the gut hunches that's important, and...

I'm not sure I agree completely, but that's mainly due to lack of information. I'm leaning towards the OP being extraverted, having a stronger thinking than feeling function, having Se somewhere in...

I'll go through this post, answer by answer, and write what I believe I see in each of them. When I'm not sure what to make out of an answer, I'll keep myself from commenting on it. Q3: Seems to...

You don't think making this kind of judgment on such sparse information is a bit silly? I mean, what do you imagine could have gone on inside her head? Anyway. to the OP. Now, I might just enjoy...

If you are in doubt about whether you are an ISTP or an INFP, it is quite likely that you are neither. As far as introverted rationals go, this is as different as they get. No functions in common,...

Do you have a question? Typing in this forum is usually done by the OP answering one of the stickied questionnaires and posting it in a new thread, and other posters replying on the basis of that. ...

You're focusing on action rather than cognition, while cognition is the central focus of this theory. Going by the functions you mention, only INTP would really fit; Ti, Ne and Si are the first three...

I have to agree that the there seems to be a lot of Fi and Te, but the Te doesn't seem to be very healthily handled in that there's a great deal of sensitivity to it. Given that the OP identifies a...

Sure. That and your answer to question 10 suggests inferior Fe, which would make you either an ISTP or an INTP. Of those two, I would lean towards ISTP for you, as it looks like you also do.

Could you try to explain more in depth what you mean by 9b? It points in two slighty different directions.

Can I trust this as reason enough? I relatively rarely experience situations like these, as I have either lived in a quiet town or at the outskirts of a small city all of my life, not getting myself...

I enjoy the recents posts of @NighTi and @arkigos on this part of the forum, so I'm tagging you two, hoping for you to answer. Others are more than welcome to post, too. 0. Is there anything that...

How do you relate to the two thinking functions, Te and Ti?

If you are mostly in doubt about whether you're a Ti or Ne dom, and some evidence points in either direction, I would go with Ne 90% of the time, simply because Ti can have a tendency to swallow up...

If you want other people's thoughts as to what type you might be, I would suggest filling out one of the questionnaires. Oh, and don't read too much into the broad, general descriptions of the...

It isn't just about remembering things. It's more about, well, recognizing previous experiences and comparing and contrasting them to present experiences. If you had a strong preference for Si, you...

I don't have a strong opinion on your type, even though arkigos makes a good case for ESTP. I just have one comment here. I would consider this to have more to do with Si than Se. Se is more 'in...

Because it looked like inferior Fi, rather than inferior Ti or Si. You don't seem to have any issues with your thinking function; it rather seems to be something that you define yourself by, which...

Soren Aabye? How peculiar, considering your interest in moral philosophy. Is this a coincidence? If this is true, you would be a rather clear extravert. ENTJ or ESTJ, perhaps.

I'm sure you know this, but I've read you write something like this twice, so I feel a need to clarify something: You can only have one dominant function that is 'dominating' your cognitition. ...

You seem like a Pe-dominant to me, more Se than Ne though. All that impulsivity, taking enjoyment in new experiences, how you really seem to embrace those Se-heavy moments. It doesn't seem like how...

Being an ExFJ means that your dominant function is Fe, Extraverted Feeling, and therefor that the inferior function is Introverted Thinking. E means that the dominant function is extraverted, J means...

I think your feeling-function is too prominent for it to be anything but dominant. If you're sure that you're an extrovert, then you're an ExFJ of some sort.

Oh, how I search for words. I'll stick to what was the one thing I felt certain about when I read this at first: inferior Fe, and thus dominant Introverted Thinking; Ti. Independence of...

Well, yes. Perhaps I forgot to come out up with half of my reasoning. The reason for my protest was the fact that the way you worded it made Fe sound completely uncrystallised - as if it never got a...

These two things are not the same thing. While people with a strong preference for Fe will certainly adjust their behaviour accordingly to the atmosphere of the group, they will not necessarily be...

This won't be a very thorough answer. I'm going to say ISFP. Your approach to things seems to be mostly a like/dislike thing, coming from a personal stand-point. Taking things mostly as they are -...

Introverted sensing, I would say. So, more Ne.

I agree completely. Which is why I was a bit puzzled about your comments on her answer to question 12; a person with a strong preference for Ti has great use for written communication precisely...

Could you explain what you mean by 'disconnected from reality' and how this doesn't or does fit you?

Here's a standard request on this forum: Could you please fill out one of the questionnaires from one of the stickies and post it in this thread? As you already had guessed, you don't give enough...

I've had similar experiences with the test on Keirsey.com; it's the only website that has these tests, that I know of, that actually allows one to go back to look at prior results later and, well, on...

I haven't read anything in what you have written that convinces me that you are an INTP or ENTP. Could you please fill out one of the questionnaires, to help us get some idea of how you think?

Looking at the title and reading through some of the thread gives me the sense that style or appearance is understood as just one thing here, and that the motivation behind this is relatively similar...

Really not much to go in, which typically makes me consider an ESxP of some sort, because of what appears to be someone rushing through things. A horrible stereotype, I know. Not seeing much feeling...

Let's look at the letters in MBTI. Take INTP as an example. N tells us that the strongest perception function is intuition, T that the strongest judging function is thinking. I tells us that the...
