'I've actually come across those before and I think they're on the right track. Though the Ti exercise is a huge turn-off lol. All those damned little lines. I don't have patience for that. @.@ As...
This reminds me of a joke my friends have about me making the absolute worst lifeguard ever. I'm a walking Se-fail, but at least it makes for some good laughs. :D Your first answer got me thinking...
I can definitely attest to the idea that INFJ's have a hard time leaving our comfort zones. You're right - it can be unnatural to us. It's likely one of our biggest weaknesses. The struggle to...
Hello ESTP's! :) I hope you don't mind, but as an INFJ I cannot help but be intensely curious about ESTP's and their relationship with Se-Ni and was hoping I could ask ESTP's a couple of...
Probably, yes. ESFJ's Fe can be overbearing to introverts. Their Si isn't really interested in abstract ideas, which INFJ's are full of. Their Ne, if well-developed, can be fun at times. Their...
Nope. I'm an atheist, and I'm anti-organized religion. I personally believe that religious people are deluding themselves. And no, I don't feel like debating this.
I seem to be growing less and less sensitive the older I get. Also, spending time with Thinker types has forced me to take a look at what things make me sensitive and why. It seems that as soon as I...
I know an INTJ female irl. She's Indian, lesbian, Director of Marketing or some shit like that at a Fortune 500 company, and the only person who can whoop my sorry ass at Words With Friends.
The more I need someone to be close to me...the more I push them away. No reason I concoct has been a satisfactory explanation for this pattern.
I stand by what I said in my final paragraph. I think it still applies to what you say you're looking for in post #5. The test for MBTI is highly flawed. Most people I know who take it are mistyped,...
J and P are not functions. They are part of the MBTI nomenclature. There are only four functions: F, T, N, and S. There are eight function-attitudes: Fe, Te, Fi, Ti, Se, Ne, Si, and Ni. Each type...
I think you're absolutely right. INTJ's are systems builders, but INFJ's are people-systems builders. That's why so many of us go on to study psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc. In fact,...
I think you mentioned that you've already dismissed INFJ, but I think you should reconsider. Fe isn't necessarily about people pleasing and operating under societal norms, especially in INFJ's...
I think Ni can achieve a greater level of awareness due to it's ability to shift between perspectives. For me, INFJ, this means taking the information that I have and building a loose framework of...
I agree with this. I think INFJ's are easily mistyped, and also can very easily pull off acting like other types (not something I waste my time with, but I've seen an INFJ do this firsthand). I...
*lurks quietly in the shadows, taking notes*
You're doing the exact same thing you're criticizing others for. Ranting and crying about feelings. Edit: I'm not offended, I just calls it when I sees it.
Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist x97 George Carlin. That's me. A scratched, cynical, disappointed idealist.
I've seen mentions about INFJ's and manipulation. The truth is...all IxxJ's manipulate. It's the nature of having our introverted perceptive worldview as our dominant function, and then an execute...
Very interesting read, I really enjoyed reading everyone's ideas in this thread. I've got a lot of good stuff to think about. Thanks for the food for thought. :)
Mistyping is a problem that can be solved through learning Jung's cognitive function theory. You are an INFJ if you use Ni, Fe, Ti, and Se. In that order. If you research these functions and...
I ingest marijuana daily using a vaporizer. It has greatly improved my life for medicinal and psychological reasons. I don't give two shits about anyone else's smoking habits. That's their...
Few ideas I have that I humbly wish to share: -Typing people using MBTI descriptions alone is highly inaccurate. The descriptions are, at best, vague over-generalizations of human characteristics...
I know this part is a little off topic but..... I can't believe how accurately that describes me (single child, broken home). That part really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing.
I originally spelled it the incorrect way, I think PerC automatically corrected it, because I edited the post and changed it back to what I thought was the correct way, but I see now that it was...
From my experiences with my ISTJ best friend: - Don't make decisions without the INFJ's input. We are usually very compliant with ideas and plans as long as they are ethical, fair, and rational....
His eye movements, however, are not the only thing that makes me believe he's not INFJ. It was really the best concrete example of explaining why he's not INFJ that I can think of, because I've just...
When an Ni-user is retrieving/manipulating information with Ni, their eye direction is the typical UP and to the left/right side. This can occur before, during, or after speaking, and the listener...
Shit, he's not INFJ. He reminds me a lot of an INFP male I know. His eye movements are indicative of Ne, rather than Ni, as well. My guess is that he's an INFP that took the MBTI and scored INFJ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RidsxnnVTR4 Look at these people, amazing how sheep'l show up for the slaughter. No one condemning you, lined up like lemmings you led to the water. Why can't they...
It's good to see that there are others in this forum illuminated to the truth. God bless America. Land of the frivolous and home of the brainwashed.
INFJ in MBTI = INFp in Socionics. If Socionics has any any merits, it's buried deep under layer after layer of bullshit. Socionics thinks it can type people based off of the dimensions of their...
Nah, my plan would never work. Without supervision, I'm pretty positive the INTJ's will conspire against us. Unless we send over special INFJ agents as INTJ's in disguise.....
But who gets to decide the standards of who/what is wise enough? My half-joking answer is to overhaul the current system and implement an authoritative entity made up of two governing bodies,...
I do this all the time and have never been able to figure out why until now lol. People have in the past gotten upset with me for apologizing too much because of it, but my first initial reaction...
Hmm, have you considered the possibility that you are an INFJ? INFJ's often time are mistyped as INFP's, and the ones with stronger Ti (introverted thinking) are often times mistyped as INTP. If...
An ISTJ friend of mine asked me what I want to be for my friends. After about 30 seconds of silence on my end, I answered that I want to be a kind, fun person who shows people a new way of thinking...
Oh, I didn't even see it as potentially condescending. :) I got a feel from the way you worded the rest that you meant no harm. The way you described Fi-dominance is just fantastic. It really...
Hey, thought I'd chime in here as I've been lurking the ISFP area since I had an argument with one very recently. In this argument, from my POV, I felt that her Fi couldn't help but make...
Don't believe everything you read on the internet. I don't think it's wise to trust any website that says some random famous people are any one particular type. Unless I have analyzed and reached...
INTJ <3 We get along so well. We understand each other like no one else has ever understood each of us before. It's nice having the whole Ni-dominant thing in common. (Though ENTP + INFJ is...
I met my fiance on OkCupid, actually. He messaged me and we chatted for a minute, and we had instant chemistry. We went on a date the next day and it's been the best relationship of my life since...
I know 3 ISFP's personally, have a friend who's brother is ISFP, and know of a few fictional characters who are thought to be ISFP's (Harry Potter, Curtis from Misfits) ISFP female: Highly...
Take the time to learn how each perceiving function works (Ni, Si, Ne, and Se). Relying on online quiz results won't help you find your type correctly if you have no understanding of the cognitive...
NT's don't scare me. In fact, I appreciate their sensibility and find their breadth of knowledge intriguing and helpful. NF fluff scares me more than any NT ever could. My dad, boyfriend, and...
Fakeness witnessed in Fe-users is usually indicative of an immature use of Fe. This is likely caused by feeling like the Fe-user has no other choice but to be friendly to a person, as their...
I'd have to agree with Fe being overbearing and thus, easily annoying to others. I'm an Fe user myself, but I think having Ti as my tertiary helps me balance out my Fe use a great deal. ESFJ's don't...
If you really knew me, then you'd know that I'm no different from you.
Nostalgia is fun when it happens, but I don't feel particularly comforted by it. I occasionally like hanging on to small relics from my past to help trigger nostalgia, but I can put those away very...
We might be a little hard to capture. We're elusive and introverted; we don't go out too much. When we do go out, it's usually with a group in friends. We'll probably be happy, a little spaced out,...'
