'I don't really have a type but I think I'd be good with an INTP type. I always fancied myself with an astrophysicist or mathimatician but not someone too cerebral and cut off from their feelings, I...
I'm 4w5, its funny as my mum had a book about Enneagram types when I was a kid and she said even then I was 4w5 and now I'm all grown up and she was right all along!
Well I think of myself as pretty much a text book INFP and to be honest I don't think we have too much in common. I think you sound more like an IxxJ perhaps? Still I'm not an expert and I know that...
Haha that is me and my boyfriend and it is a bit annoying I agree but hardly the worst thing ever. I normally end up picking and he then gets to sulk if he doesn't like it so were both happy :tongue:...
generally I am not too fussy when it comes to men I guess I prefer them not to drink too much or to smoke and I feel more compatabile with another introvert but the only thing that is a real deal...
I have done so many different jobs it's shocking, I've worked as a window dresser, an artist assistant, in a photo lab, as a photographer, as a cinematographer, as a cinema usher as well as stints...
I totally get that, I had some work in an exhibition recently and never told anyone while most other people were setting up facebook profiles for it and inviting the universe. I got really good...
I have dyspraxia and so while my most recent IQ test (Feb 2010) administered by an educational psychologist puts me at 99% and 98% for most areas my working memory is very poor. It's a blessing and a...
I was brought up in a very meaty house but I always felt / knew there was something wrong about meat. As soon as I was old enough between 8 and 9 I began cutting meat, poulty and fish out of my diet....
i agree, I really did enjoy Inception but it was not all it was cracked up to be I think. I also agree about In the Mood for Love!
Again, I agree with what most of you have written. I too am like a sponge that soaks up other peoples emotions. I find it hard even to read a newspaper without being transported into the situations...
Yes I really feel this, it's like I can get away with murder at times, I can't explain it but it's like they seem to know that I'm not really bound by the same rules as other people and they know I...
For those of us in the UK, the US and most of western Europe and Australia being introvert is taken as a negative but it really isn't at all. It's just a different way of being. Being introvert is...
You know in the words of the genius Kenneth Anger sometimes science is just a bunch of bullsh*t. Science is great I love it and read a lot of books about astronomy and physics especially but in the...
I am a Libra but my rising sign is Pisces and I have a grand trine in water.
I am INFP and compliments to me are like nails scratching down a blackboard! I really feel uncomfortable when someone give me a compliment. I don't think I would assume they had a hidden motive but I...
Pretty much spot on but after time the INFP and ISTJ can find that connection it's just not as immediate at with other types.
Just bringing this one back to say that I have been with an ISTJ for 14 years and it's not always been easy. We are similar in that we are both highly introvert and like to stay in and just do things...
Sorry yes thats I typo, guess i should have been in bed when I posted that!
Perhaps it's only when you are older that you can tell if you look younger if you know what I mean like if your 30 but still look 19 - 20ish or 40 and look 30ish. After all everyone who is 25 and...
Aww I just checked your profile and expected to see a pic of big tough guy like your avatar but your puppy dog cute! If only I was 10 years younger and single I'd be your INFP girl no problem, we...
I am 32 but am frequently taken for someone 10+ years younger than my age. I don't have any wrinkles at all yet but I think it's perhaps more to do with what I project perhaps. So tell me my...
I think to be an INFP means to be very much open to everything and to be curious. We tend not to be purely logical so we can take on board and give credence to things others dismiss. I am very keen...
I can see that in myself as well, I quite often go ahead and say and do what I am compelled to do but I frequently feel bad about it afterwards, I believe it is common for INFP's to second guess...
INFP with management and pr duties, are you sure about that? It's not impossible but I'm not sure many INFP's are naturals or at ease with those roles.
Here is a wee instant one, it's just what popped into my head as I wrote. This is my process really I write something like that as it comes out then sort of branch out from that seed, it's fun! ...
No it is relevant it's all part of that urge to disappear we INFP's have. It seems like we are always going in a different direction to other people who seem to want to be seen and in amongst the...
I think that out of all the types INFP must be the closest to being psychic or telepathic. Also we are not judgemental or easily shocked even if someone has done something very wrong we can still...
Yip it's the same for me, I wasn't really popular at school but all kinds of people sought me out when they need to talk about something really painful and I was happy to do it. I think it's also...
Yeah I agree you don't need to have them both together like that, it could have been put in with fascism or even neoliberalism which is totalitarian in it's own way.
I am very left wing a socialist for sure with leanings towards communism, I am quite Utopian in my ideology! Viva la revolution!
I'm actually having therapy at the moment not really due to any issues but as a means of self exploration. It's called psychosynthesis and it's really great very transforming it draws on Jung a great...
I read in a thread about INFP's here or somewhere else about how INFP as the healer meant that rather than INFPs radiating a calming healing energy that it sometimes meant that we could draw things...
Hmm I lost my virginity when I was 15 to my boyfriend of 2 years. I really wanted to have sex when I did it and don't feel ashamed to have done that at all. When we split up I was single for a year...
I was very bad at arithmetic in school but when we got onto more advanced math which is more abstract I was much better at that. I learned years later that you actually use different parts of the...
I had a book about this when I was a teenager my Mum read it and told me I was a 4w5 I think she is a 5w6. Anyway all these years later she was totally bang on I am such a INFP 4w5 no doubt about it!...
I know a couple of guys who I think may have been INFP's or possibly INTP's but only one guy who looking back was an INFP for sure. He actually did fall in love with me and it was really sad and...
I can relate to this to an extent, I quite often don't see my friends for months at at time but I know that when we do meet up we will be able to pick right up where we left off. It's kind of fate as...
Ah now I feel a bit like how I always feel if I share whats going on inside my head with a friend, it feels like it's all going so well and I open up and say some crazy thing and expect to hear how...
Tonight I am listening to School of Seven Bells this song is my favourite and a real INFP track I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1An2pjS4mKE I also listened to the Moonraker soundtrack...
That sounds about right, also I always think if someone is sad or angry that it's my fault they are which is pretty egotistical if you think about it!
I was always a natural at poetry. In school for the exams I think I was the only student ever to be advised to do the poetry question in the english paper as I had an affinity with it. I never have...
Dreamy! My dad always says I am like a fart in a trance. ttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fart%20in%20a%20trance Sums be up pretty well.
I have been accused of being out of touch, naive, whimsical, guileless, childlike and it's true I am all those things. Something that goes along with that though is that normally in any situation...
I read a book on Highly Sensitive people and I do think I am one, I soak up everything around me and get overstimulated so easily. I suffer from Migraines and I imagine this is common amongst INFP's....
I love astronomy, cosmology etc it's my none arty outlet. I always day dream about space and what is out there. Nothing beats a clear night, a mug of hot chocolate and my telescope! I really...
Kids often stare at me as well not really in a smiley way but just in a staring my out way, which I can't say I like much.
I totally get this, it just feels like a pressure to look and if I suspect less nice news I can put off looking for weeks. I once left it so long (months) that hotmail cancelled my account! I also...
Like many INFP's I suffer with low mood. At times when I felt bad I something that would calm me would be to lie in my bed under the covers and think about how nobody really knew i was there and that...
I can really relate to that. I often feel that even when I am with people I really like I feel massively overstimulated and anxious and as much as I like them it is always kind of a relief to get...'
