Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'I don't get nervous as much as I did when first starting to drive. But I still hate it as much as I did back then and avoid doing it whenever possible. It was actually my parents who convinced me...

In my room. I don't like going out alone just due to shyness and I guess when I do go out with friends I'm too absorbed in their company to be approachable.

C++ is very useful and pretty accessible, from what I remember. Programming languages in general take some getting used to, but once you know one the others come easily. It's definitely a good...

I just read a few pages and wow, there are some really beautiful things here! I've always been envious of those talented in the visual arts. I wish I had a talent for translating mental images into...

I've tried catching my default expression in the mirror and it seems pretty neutral. Some people have said I looked sad when I wasn't, but more often people tend to see me as emotionless due to the...

From those I've actually given a test and asked if they agreed with the result: -ESFP sister -ESFJ mother -ESFJ friend -ESTP friend -ISTP friend I wouldn't try guessing the types of other...

It's always easier for an INFJ to tell other to put themselves first, but harder for an INFJ to tell himself to put himself first. That is the curse of Fe.

I think common sense is poorly defined no matter how you try to look at it, and too many people try using it to justify their own laziness to acquiring knowledge, in my opinion. But I don't think...

Thanks for all the replies. They've sparked another question that I should have probably asked earlier: Do you feel others hold you to a higher standard due to their initial perceptions of you?...

I've known some immature ESFJs. I think Fe and Si can be a deadly combo in the wrong person. Si is linked with routine and tradition, while Fe promotes harmony and supports others. I think in some...

Then you might want to start by asking yourself why you like him. There is obviously a large gap between your type and his, so I would start by reading a bit more about his type and maybe talking...

Do others treat you as being pure and innocent or is that just me? I come off as kind and I don't swear, so this somehow translates into innocence in the eyes of some. Do any of you experience this?...

I know I posted recently, but I thought I should share Joanna Newsom. I love this album, and this may be my favorite track. It feels like something some INFJs might appreciate. To set the mood: It's...

The less realistic, the better. But I am a sucker for a good secondary character.

I think @Ista's post is rather accurate. The only two things I'll add: 1. I don't think it's typical for an INFJ (or anyone with a dominating Fe) to try to fix anyone else's belief system. This...

Good question! First time I ever took one of these tests, it was a poorly written one that tries to analyze the four letters instead of the eight cognitive functions, but I still got INFJ. I...

Short answer: Kind of. Long answer: No.

I recently made a post regarding this on the INTJ board. Not enough sites describe the negative aspects of INFJs/Ni to make people feel all right knowing it's not their strong point.

There is a thread on the INFJ board about revealing the true type of some users. I don't really go in that thread, but perhaps you could create a similar version here? Here's the thread.

The Badge (The CrowRe Revisiting some VG music. I highly recommend the following even if you've never played Metroid. It's so peaceful... http://youtu.be/aMPkiO9bKbo

Anonymously and through writing if possible. Though I suppose it'd be difficult to give an anonymous criticism in person. I guess I have a reason to buy a Darth Vader mask now.

Ignore them, I suppose. You should be good at this by now. Although it might be tricky with your mother...

I've noticed some posts where people use the Socionics acronyms to describe MBTI types, and I just wanted to check if people were aware of the subtle differences between some of them. If you read a...

I wish I had the time to read through all 40 pages of posts (maybe I'll go back and read some more later). But I'd like to try to offer some solutions. Sorry if it becomes repetitive with anything...

INxJ types would be the last I'd suspect of being illogical. From what I understand, Ni is all about asking why and figuring out the true nature of things. Call me biased, but I think it's the...

I read every post on this page, and each time I scrolled down I thought, This is surely going to be the most clever and fitting response for me here. Then I kept reading. I guess I have no...

Some people mistype themselves, but I don't really care about his own diagnosis. If he wants to join the lonely club that's his choice. One thing I would advise against is going behind his back...

The all or nothing thing is certainly typical, but usually only internalized, i.e. I'll spend a lot of time wondering whether people really like me, and whether or not I should bother annoying...

Trust, physical affection, and openness. Violence, lying, and irresponsibility (for one's own actions).

I would say I'm most introverted out of all of my immediate family members, and perhaps even say that all five of them are extroverts who can't imagine why anyone would want to be introverted. So...

It depends on the friend. Perhaps this sounds stupid, but I'd treat this completely differently based on not just how close I am with someone, but also what kind of relationship we have. From some...

I guess no one can ever be sure of their true personality type, because no one fits a description perfectly. Everyone is different. As mentioned, I guess INFJs tend to have a reputation of...

I guess this is a general thread for things people try to do for you that they think are nice, but are actually incredibly terrible for you. My example is blind dates. People have tried to set me...

To the friends I have mistakenly left behind, Please do not forget me. I haven't forgotten you. Love,

When people have the volume of movies/TV/videos/etc. way too loud, which is all the time. I don't really understand it. I never hear anyone when they talk, but they always have to blast EVERYTHING...

...when your only superpower wish, above flying or invisibility or anything else, is to have the ability to shapeshift in whomever or whatever you want.

Wow, this is me perfectly, except for liking it. :P I mean, I like trying to form closer relationships, but it seems like my friends don't see friendship the way I do - they don't think of really...

Just platonic. And neither of us like coffee. :P

There's a guy who has a lot of common interests with me. I want to form a friendship with him, but... well, I guess I'm not exactly sure how to do it. As you all know, it takes a lot of energy just...

I have a little social anxiety, which I know isn't too uncommon for us. A lot of times I end up tripping over my words as I speak since my mind is always ahead of my mouth. Anyone who's experienced...

It's difficult to imagine an INFJ in physical combat. All of those emotions kept hidden from everyone else - they must go somewhere, right? Into storage, with the rest of them. Under the right...

I know exactly how you feel. After talking to someone for a little, I get a feeling as to whether or not I can trust them. I don't know what it is, but there's some people who are just naturally...

Not to sound arrogant, but I love this quote. I agree with it completely.

Wow, you're lucky to be so popular. :P I think I'd be nervous about asking to go out and feel embarressed when I don't get any replies because then everyone would see... One thing I dislike about...

I don't know why I do this to myself, but I usually keep Facebook up in a tab and check in on it every 15 minutes or so while I do other things online. Sure, many people might think, But Facebook...

You know you're an INFJ when you wish you could be a cat for a day.:happy:

I'll try to keep my story short. I'm an INFJ, and my friend is an ISTP. We've been friends for over 5 years. He quickly became my closest friend, but unfortunately he has moved multiple times...

Hi everyone. I haven't posted here in a long time, but this seemed like the only place I could talk about something like this. I have a friend. It's one of those really close best friend types of...

When around other people, do you find yourself acting more like them? For example, when with one of my closest friends (tested as ISTP), I find myself acting a lot more like him (though not...'
