'I wanted a smartphone for a long time, but I waited till last November to get one because I was disgusted with the idea that I HAD to have a data plan with a smartphone, and that my bill would be so...
My tastes are typically sci-fi and fantasy, sitcoms and family dramas (both old and new), and sometimes crime/cia shows. A lot of the sci-fi/fantasy shows I end up being drawn to are also kid's shows...
I dunno, I never really got the vibe that a lot of people on here were faking their type. I think it's possible several people are mistyped and don't realize it, but that's different than...
When I'm really upset and something goes wrong, I tend to blame myself, and suddenly feel like everything is all my fault and I'm a terrible person. Now don't get me wrong, if put on the spot by...
A medium-sized rock. Big enough to do some damage, but not so big as to kill them in one shot. You have to make sure they suffer a little first. You're gonna need a lot of rocks though, because...
There was a recent thread about why INFJs use I a lot when writing, and I was wondering what POV INFJs were most comfortable with, 1st person, 2nd person, omniscient 3rd person, or limited 3rd...
Hm, I think I may start a poll now. I'm interested in whether INFJs have a preference to use 1st or 3rd person when writing creative fiction. Aside from the fact that amateur writers have a tendency...
Wow, what a heated thread. I've never been able to convert to a religion personally, because I was never able to convince myself how one was more correct than the other, so I consider myself...
Telling me what to do when it's really none of your business. I don't mean offering suggestions, which is fine, but actually bossing me around or acting like you have an authority to decide what I...
I can relate to feeling awkward in those types of situations. As Killbain said, if someone is venting to me, I just nod a lot, and listen, offering minimal advice unless it seems like they want it....
Crystal - 10 Sensitive Tan, Green - 7 Yellow, Blue - 6 I could relate to all of these on some level, but Crystal was the one when I was taking the quiz that really... felt like me. When I read...
I asked my friend if I have an intense, cold deep stare or a soft, fidgety, dreamy gaze, and she said my eyes aren't just intense and aren't soft but are like intense aloofness. XDD She did add that...
When I was a kid... veterinarian. Then I got older and realized how squeamish I am around blood and pain so.. that was out. I always toyed with being an interior decorator. Lately I've...
Gosh, I need to stop reading these threads! Every time I'm finally sure I must be a INFP! or I must be an INFJ!, I read something like this. ;) By the way, that McGurk effect is pretty...
I stick by the To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world motto. I do believe one person can leave a lasting impact on the world, such as people who make big...
Hm. After reading this, I definitely don't want to be a teacher. :unsure: I still really want to work with kids though. I wonder how much of this would also apply to speech pathology (something else...
I actually initially took the test because it was required at my workplace. We had a teambuilding retreat, and one of the leaders gave us the official test, since he was licensed to proctor it. I...
Haha I'm thinking me too! I only typed as INFJ since a year ago I decided to be a neat organized person, and took the test under the assumption I am one. But I've met some J's now and am seeing we...
*hugs* Just remember that you always have a choice. Don't let the sensation of inconvenience convince you of your lack of autonomy. If Facebook is making you unhappy, you should leave. It's not...
My problem is a lot of rules put on children by adults don't make sense to me. Sure, the ones where kids could get hurt, I understand. But when kids start doing something they typically will get...
OMG kittehs!!!!!!! My favorite kitty breed is actually ragdolls, though I think all cats are pretty darn adorable. 36555
I try to find value in each and every person I can. I think one of my roommates is an ISFP, and I admire what a good seamstress she is, and how she is able to create such beautiful dresses. I love...
That you shouldn't wait for life to give you lemons to make lemonade. Go out and pick your own lemons. :)
Although her condition sounds very disheartening, I do find some hope in the fact that she still wants to feel, instead of having given up on it completely. A good friend once told me that the...
K so, a good friend of mine is ENFP and I love her to death, and usually talking to people wears me out after a while, but after talking to her for a few hours I am like off the walls so freaking...
I read this at first and thought, That's really interesting, but two seconds later I was like Wait a minute.... Like, how in the WORLD would we know if neanderthals had Asperger's Syndrome?...
I agree that INFPs are not that rare if those statistics are kosher (Am I the only one who wonders why updated statistics are never given???). As for the rarity confers greatness, I don't think...
I told my high school biology teacher I often wondered if life really had any point, and that if we really did have no purpose in life, what was the point in trying to achieve anything. He looked me...
I'm just wondering. It seems like a much harder system to feel sure about than MBTI. I got 5w6, but I'm still not sure if that's me, you know? :sad: I know that my main type must be one of the three...
I have no problem maintaining eye contact during conversation, unless it's someone I'm attracted to and don't want them to know. Then I have a really hard time looking in their eyes, because for me,...
I'm not sure the reason why, but I only tend to remember my dreams when I am very stressed or ill. I'm sure I probably dream a lot and just don't remember, but if I'm stressed or ill, I tend to...
OH MY GOSH! Ix92ve never met anyone else who does this! When I was a kid, I read a lot of the Animorphs books, and in them there are these parasites called Yeerks that can take over your mind and...
I love this. I put it in my Facebook quotations section (just with no author listed for the quote). Thank you for sharing this beautiful analogy.
I agree and disagree with this video. I think that it's important that kids who really have disorders get diagnosed and get proper treatment. That's not the issue. The issue is it seems like nowadays...
I'm not sure if I'm actually an INFP, but I'd say I'm between a 2-4 right now. I've gotten a lot more balanced mentally over the past few years. I used to be completely oblivious to other people. I...
YES! I support the Flying Spaghetti Monster's transcendence of all type casting! FSM forever! Oh how I yearn to once again be one with your noodly appendages.
Yes, my title had the C word! Sorry about that guys. I was just wondering, do you guys ever clean compulsively? Ix92ve noticed I tend to get the cleaning bug in odd spurts. Ix92m in college right now...
Hi guys! I have been lurking and posting on the INFJ forum for about six months now. I am going to start posting and lurking here too, so I thought Ix92d make an intro! I already have had a lot of...
I dunno, I always thought the point is that while on earth as Jesus, God made himself fully a man, with all human weaknesses. Jesus seemed to be tempted by sin as any other human, but through his...
Really? Maybe I'm mistyped. I got INFJ but one of my biggest skills is taking all the crazy thoughts in my head and portraying them to the outside world via analogies, metaphors, parables, etc., that...
(I think) I'm a type 5 who knows themself quite well. I have periods when I become too introverted to want to socialize with anyone, but my mind constantly wants to analyze people, their motives,...
That's very true for me. My Achilles heel is data entry (like entering grades into a computer) and alphabetizing (like pulling tons of books off a shelf and organizing them in alphabetical order to...
That's what I do a lot. Either that or I imagine myself saying things to people that I would never have the guts to say in real life. I tend to dislike conflict so instead of telling people when I'm...
SootheBelle, the type of memory you are referring to is episodic memory. We have two kinds of memory, memory of facts (semantic memory) and memory of personal experiences (episodic memory). I learned...
I personally don't think the type is as rare as 1%. I'd put it at about 5% personally. I still think that all the above is true in having especially inflated numbers of INFJs on this forum, but I...
Autumn, because of the mood. In spring, everything is just beginning to come to life, but autumn feels so... pensive. Like everything is getting ready to sleep for the winter and is slowing down. I...
This is a random thread, but I was wondering if there were any INFJs on this forum into juggling! I just started two days ago, since I just found out my school has a juggling club once a week, but...
I hide from the world when I'm stressed. I stop wanting to have any contact with people, but at the same time feel lonely. But reaching out doesn't feel worth it. I become trapped in my own mind and...
Well, I have a question about Fe vs Fi for the INFJs, because I'm still trying to verify I AM and INFJ and do have Fe and not Fi. There are a couple questionable cases I've been mulling over so I'll...'
