'Haha! My ENTJ dad acts like he can read me perfectly...in reality he doesn't understand me at all. I think I can read him like a book too, but maybe I'm just as wrong as he is. Hmm...I love...
I would say the same of my dad. I think some of his biggest strengths are some of my biggest weaknesses and vice versa. So I try not to just throw out everything he says, but that's hard when I feel...
Absolutely! He's got terrible temper, which I inherited unfortunately though not to as great an extent and I don't get angry as easily. (But when I do get angry...watch out! :wink:). It's interesting...
WOW! I'm glad to discover I'm not alone. I just got off the phone with my ENTJ dad (we had a heated, draining discussion about how he thought I was making bad choices about the music I chose to...
Out of curiosity, how do all you ENTJs feel about INFJs? Have you had any very positive or negative relationships with an INFJ? By all means, please share! :wink:
You know it!! :wink: haha!
WELL, I wear whatever I like. I'll be honest and say that I'm good at coming up with unique cute outfits that I like to wear that most people wouldn't, but I'm terrible with knowing what I'm supposed...
I got RLUAI too and thought the same thing! lol.
@hornet @kasthu Thank you so much for both of your insights! I'll definitely take what you have to say into consideration. I found it interesting that both of you said you saw Ti in there. I've...
OldManRivers What I don't understand is, what is the point of having personality types to begin with then? It would just make sense to have a cognitive function test of sorts and determine which...
Hmm...Might be Fi but as far as Si goes, I don't think so. The whole idea of holding onto an aquired belief sentimentally is not at all like me. If I listened to her it would be because I didn't have...
I like the idea about writing down gift ideas as they come. I have a terrible memory for stuff like this and I am absolutely not a gifts person. Words of affirmation is the most important to me. And...
Alright, so my aunt (who claims to be an ISFP though I don't think she actually knows much about the theory, she just took a test) has this really defiant dog who thinks she's the boss. My mom...
This was very helpful, thanks!! So as I was reading the descriptions on these links, I decided to listen to my gut responses to each of these definitions instead of just trying to analyze it all the...
So I agree with not letting these things control your life. And you are who you are regardless of a type description. But I guess where I get frustrated is if I'm going to describe my own behavior...
There's no way I skipped it. I definitely read the whole thing. It's just a lot of information at once and hard to determine what I am for each of the functions right now. I tend to take in...
Thanks for your help! I really relate to seeing things in relation to what you can see inside your internal storehouse. If it's possible, could you elaborate a little more on this? What would be...
I was describing the way I felt a few years ago when I had to decide my type in a day before I knew anything about type. I absolutely agree. Thanks! I appreciate your feedback!
Pretty sure I am the IEI personality. Is that equivalent to INFP or INFJ. Cause I know it says it uses Ni and Fe but it says INFP in parenthesis next to it.
I saw that video a while ago. After rewatching it, I'm pretty sure I use Ni. I really don't have a wide range of interests. I would prefer a few well-developed interests. I think...haha. The problem...
I've answered some questions about myself in hopes of getting some help in discovering my type. Help? I've researched typeage, function descriptions etc...I have a pretty good idea I'm one of two...
Well, the first time I ever took the test, I scored equally between INTJ, INTP, INFJ, and INFP. My teacher quickly, with about two seconds of thought, decided I was an INFP. She didn't really seem...
Do you have a link?
So I looked at the other comments and thought, Holy cow! This really is dominated by INFPs!! And then I looked at where the thread was located and thought...no duh!...I guess INFPs really don't...
True. thank you! However, I think that even the people who created the definitions of the functions also created personality descriptions. :)
Wow! I swear what you just wrote describes me a million times better than any of the descriptions ever did! Most of the time people don't take me seriously when I at some time try to express to them...
I usually feel that I'm either way better than people or way worse than people. Mostly like I'm way worse. I can never seem to find that middle ground feeling like I'm no better or worse than anyone....
Thanks! :) I appreciate the encouragement!
I agree. Come to think of it, I actually kinda like that about most INFPs. They're kinda timid but when they think something's important they'll stand up for it. Hmm...maybe I'm not so bad after...
I am kind of confused. I tried looking those archetypes up. Aren't they guys' archetypes?
I don't really like working in groups. I love brainstorming with groups (if I'm not too shy!!!), but working with them...I dread it! I have a vision in my head of what the perfect final project...
Isn't that such an ironic feeling? I do the same thing!
This morning I woke up and remembered I had forgotten to buy more toothpaste and i need to brush my teeth so I thought to myself, Hmm. What can I do to improvise? I could get a piece of mint gum and...
Hey fellow INFPs. Maybe I'm just an oddball, but when I first studied personality types, I thought I wasn't an INFP because the descriptions I read seemed to portray the type as too nice and...
Yes it is!! Lol! These are things that annoy both of my parents (my mom is an INFJ). A lot of the time I don't necessarily refuse to explain why something would work better I just don't know...
Yes! Thank you for all these descriptions! So very helpful!! Exactly! Why do more people not understand this fact? (eg. my Ni parents who know nothing about personality theory.) ...
thor odinson Aw! Brotherly love. ;) I love that!! It awakens the gushy emotions of my INFPishness. Thanks for sharing! I've never actually been close to any ISFP or INFP. I feel like I'm missing...
Ah yes. It's been the opposite in my family. My little sister is the only extrovert and is always looking around the house for someone to play with her 24/7. She NEVER gets tired of being with people...
Hmm...Two syblings with the same personality type...I wonder how common that is. It hasn't seemed very common so far. Interesting! :)
Just out of curiosity, do you and your brother get along well? I've never really been close to an ISFP (that I know of) so I'm kinda curious.
Haha! Wow! That's really cool! And I think that's funny because I was reading a couple threads in which INTPs said they couldn't stand INFPs' Fi. But I personally have never met an INTP that I didn't...
Yes, I totally understand that! I find it very difficult to communicate with ISFJs as well (including my ISFJ brother). I feel that I can relate the most to my INTP brother. The way we think and...
That is really interesting! Thanks for your response! I also think it's interesting that you all have different primary ways of taking in information: Mum: Se Dad: Si You: Ni Brother: Ne
I don't know if this topic has been brought up yet, but I was wondering whether there are any patterns between parent personality type and child personality type. What are your parents' personality...
Well, i'm a pretty sensitive person but usually only to what people say to me. Not much else really hurts me. (For example, I made plans with a friend to meet me somewhere in the morning, but their...
Not all INFPs are like this and these traits aren't exclusive to INFPs. Sounds like you're worshiping yourself. INFPs are not love incarnate. They usually have more natural tendencies toward loving...
Lol. I'm a naturally hairy person (It's in my cuban blood. What can I say?). But I live in the U.S. and shaving is considered part of personal hygiene here so I usually don't let my leg hair grow...
This is EXACTLY why I can never discuss anything with my dad (an INTJ though he rejects personality theory as uninteresting and unnessesary)!!! He doesn't understand discussing things. He only...
I'm INFP and I don't completely relate to any of these. Not relating always makes me think I'm an alien from outerspace or something. I relate to INFP descriptions more than other descriptions but I...
Story of my life!!'
