Diplomats INFP

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'Listening to Tim Minchin, playing some Tetris, and waiting for my friend to wake up so I can go crash at his place all weekend. Fun times.

To meet someone that I can connect with well, a new friend, someone with new experiences and ideas to share. Why am I so bad at reaching out to others... :frustrating:

Well as my boyfriend is gay, I should hope that I'm not! :tongue: Though I can't say that I haven't been in the past. Yet when some of your best friends include two transfolk, four bisexuals, and ...

I'm the sort who rises with the sun, avoids both parties and coffee, and doesn't take life very seriously at all. Where do I fit in?

People who judge others based on wide-sweeping generalizations.

Ah, this is one of the very few metal bands that I can enjoy every album from, very nice. Might I ask why you would theorize that T's might enjoy them more than F's, though? I could be wrong, but F's...

Optimistic, laid-back people who don't take very much seriously, save for their relationships. People who are more concerned with being a good friend than being a successful individual. People who...

Whenever I hear someone mention that there should be voice acting in Legend of Zelda, the first thing that always comes to mind is Super Mario Sunshine. Fun game, sure, but those voices... sometimes...

Inception. I know, I know, I'm a little late to the party. I had the movie's ending spoiled for me when it first came out, and it took until yesterday for me to forget what it was. A great movie by...

I haven't watched very much anime, but Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood takes the top place for me.

Books, to be cliché. Not just any books, though! I refer to a very specific collection of books from the Lord of the Rings series, which I read far too many times as a kid. These books are each over...

Gee, I haven't listened to any metal in ages... let's see what I can find... Well it hardly counts, but this was the last metal song that I listened to, and it was either this or be cliché and...

Some of my favourite songs are instrumentals or sung in foreign languages, while others are little more than poetry recitals set to uninspiring background noise. I can appreciate both, on their own...

I was trying to find a song that perfectly captured that mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement that you get when you realize that tomorrow has a chance of being either one of the best days of...

Well I was listening to some Phil Vassar, but I feel compelled to post the song before that, as it's more INFP related. Oh peer pressure, you so silly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZmNAYpLb2c

I certainly know that feeling, but I'm afraid that I would disagree that it's necessarily a bad thing. I am a strong believer in the power of communication, and the people that I date tend to reflect...

A few months ago I went with my friends to a party of sorts. At this event I met an ex of mine, someone with whom I used to be very close, yet had drifted apart from in recent months. Alas, everyone...

I am a big supporter of self discovery, but I am not sure that I agree with the definition that this woman has given it. To me, self discovery doesn't mean trying to be who you're 'supposed to be',...

I have known many dull INFPs, and some INFPs have constituted a few of the most fascinating people I've ever met. I'm not sure that type plays a part in something as subjective as interest, it's all...

True enough. To be fair, I could have been more forgiving or clear in my own post - all I meant was to say that his advice is solid, whether he practices it himself or not. Given the innately 'human'...

See: tu quoque logical fallacy. Most leaders, especially those who by the definition of their office must preach almost improbable goodness, will stray from their own teachings now and then....

Hmm. What is it about Buddhism that appeals to you, if I may ask? Do your reasons for being interested in it necessitate joining organized religion? How important are the distinctly spiritual aspects...

Now there's a question I've never considered before. I can't say that I'm the sort who would appreciate an awkwardly romantic one-man karaoke session worthy of an 80's film happening on my lawn, but...

High school... I could never understand how some people can summarize their entire high school experience in a number of lines effectively saying nothing happened. Maybe this is because my area...

I have difficulty holding conversation, speaking, opening my mouth, uttering noise - indeed, I can't even post on a good day. I am the anti-extrovert, the equivalent of an online mute, and y'know,...

Haha, wow, glad you like his work so much! I had more or less the same reaction when I first stumbled upon him, saved nearly everything I could find of his. I hope you enjoy it! Ahhh, you named so...

Do it! Again, I'm not entirely familiar with the genre, but I would say that Ludovico is probably my favourite composer from modern times - or perhaps ever, now that I think about it. His work is...

Oh wow, again, I really love this piano group you mentioned. So upbeat! Coincidentally, Lindsey Stirling was foremost on my mind to recommend to you if I was asked. Her music is so beautiful and...

Hmm... music obsession is one area in which I can't seem to fit in with your average INFP at all. I've known a great number of INFPs in my time, and all of them save one and myself were avid fans of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg5hXAzNy3s Good luck with that! There are quite a few pages... I must say, I kind of love this song you've posted. Do you have many like it, if I may...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-qhj3sJ5qs

Everything, literally everything. I spend a lot of my time reading about history and current events, reflecting on the tales of the distraught and downtrodden, hearing their stories... and it has...

Alas, I can't really supply much of an answer. Questions like these, planned out in advance, are much too formulaic for comfort. If I really want to get to know someone, I'll do it through listening...

I live in a basement suite, though three of the four rooms down here are empty. The room I spend most of my time in is tiny and square, the smallest on this floor. The walls are painted forest green,...

Fi, always go out of my way for those I love, and I do what I can for those that I don't. I can't pass by someone having trouble without trying to come up with some way to help them, even if just a...

Favourite, you say? Well I have three people who I could call my best friends, so... here they are! INFP - An absolute gem in every aspect, definitely one of a kind (or at least, one of a very...

Not feeling particularly wordy today, so I'll keep it brief. It has all been the result of a lifetime of a combination of new experiences, social encounters, helpful friends, personality type...

Of course! It would be wrong to generalize any type, though I would suspect that INFPs are even more individualistic than most. So it really is a hit or miss. I just wrote what applied to me, in the...

You scored 0 I versus E, 0 N versus S, 0 F versus T, and 20 J versus P! - INFP. Oh goodie, I'm hopeless.

My father is an ISTJ, and to say that we have had a bit of a rocky relationship would be a vast understatement. I'm not naturally someone who is prone to hate, but I certainly have animosity towards...

INFP, 9w1. At least, I'm pretty sure that's accurate.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me I think it would have something to do with the enneagram type - I am a veritable type 9, after all, and it clearly shows in how I handle stressful situations....

My immediate response? Keep my head down, my mouth shut, and politely do whatever it is they so kindly asked of me (granted they are in a position of agreeable authority - otherwise, proceed to step...

Only as awesome as everyone else! No more and no less. So I guess that would make me 78.05% awesome, whatever that amounts to. The end of the world without fire? A Zeus sexcapade without animalistic...

I can't claim to speak for all INFPs, or even the majority, but these are the sorts of things I would advise were I the INFP in question: - Be yourself. As a general rule, we INFPs seem to place...

Must... resist... urge... to flood the place with Dalai Lama quotes... *ahem*! Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health....

Very nice post idea, Arwen! I was hoping someone would make one like this. So often avatars have a far deeper meaning than what appears on the surface, and I think understanding their choice is...

Growing up, you ask? Why, I'm still growing up, and I've had quite a few along the way. Five stand out to me in particular, however - for the level of their contributions to my person, as well as for...

A personal favourite for late nights, as sung by Vancouver's (Canada) very own The Dreadnoughts. Yes indeed, it's one of thoseu200b nights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR1SIpGgmn4

I count myself as fortunate beyond words for the fact that the two people whom I trust also know (almost) everything about me; and as they are both INFPs, they understand me (almost) completely. If...'
