Australia is not INFP. I would say ISFJ.
Ah yes, it's a common fantasy (one I've definitely participated in). But remember: that would be letting the bastards win! With the world the way it is, we need all the INFPs we can get right here. ...
I adore travel. The chance to see things in a new way, from a new point of view: we travel, I think, to not only see the world in a new way, but to see ourselves in a new way. We hope the setting...
Yeah, I hate talking on the phone too. It's so unnatural: a disembodied voice coming from a block of plastic. When you think about it, it makes plenty of sense! Also, people can lie much easier on...
Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm def not comfortable with guilt, though, but I feel it can be a selfish thing... it makes excuses for why I don't go out of my way to help people, or otherwise get...
I have a problem I need help with. It might seem a bit silly, but I really have no-one to talk to about this. Please help, if you can... I work night shift in a press analysis office. It's a...
And Jesus, and Frodo, and Harry Potter..! :D
It's difficult when you're depressed to get that distance I think. In that case happiness isn't a choice. It's is absolutely unattainable, in that moment.
I love music, books, films, and going out, but all for different reasons. I have to be in the right 'mood' I guess. I'm really into reading at the moment though, live music not so much. I think I...
A stuffed Bison? Cute! They are such unusual creatures, very ancient looking. 1. My favourite animal is a Fennec Fox 2. I find the world too hard and absolute 3. I love travelling... the actual...
As funny as it sounds, I know what you mean! I never sleep properly when there's someone else there.
'Imagination Rules the World.' - Napoleon Despite it's source, this has been a favourite quote for me for a long time. Despite my scorn for any application that involves war, I think this is one...
This is exactly why we can make great writers. :D
He will be replaced. That's how these organisations work, why they're so efficient. They become martyrs, inspirers. Cut off one head and two spring up in its place.
INFJ, definately. I think he was too Judgemental to be a Perceiver... but then again, he could have been an INFP gone J. Doesn't mean all INFJs would act as he did though, I want to be clear.
You called it Whimsy? Fantastic! :) :D
I really like this. It's sad you have to be tired to express your true nature though. :P
I totally get this. Ive always seen faces everywhere. I used to live beneath a mountain - all the cliff faces looked human to me. I will see faces in clouds, woodwork, wallpaper, even water stains! I...
It seems to me that many of us have a particular outlook on life that may be called 'whimsical.' We seem to have the ability to be quite youthful or wide-eyed in the way we see the world, if we allow...
I wish I had a mentor in Melbourne. I guess my guiding light is my mother, to be honest. We are quite close, even though I now live nearly 3000 km away. She's an INFP too, so I guess I appreciate her...
Koalas can be vicious actually. They have claws. No joke!
My sister is ENFP. She's a passionate person who runs her own business (she teaches the MBTI, actually). Sometimes I find her a bit nosy and full-on. Generally we get on however. She remind me of...
I like foxes. They are pretty quiet and solitary, unless with those they are close to. Good at hiding. Also owls. For simular reasons, I guess. :P
I think you just answered your own question there... we can't express ourselves in 'real life' so we band together and do it here, where it's safe. I know I should go onto the other types' pages, but...
I tend to go for music with a slight exotic sound. Something like Vast fits the bill nicely. I like music with loops of unusual instruments or interesting orchastration. I like music with lots of...
Yeah, I find it difficult to fit into organised society. I don't agree with what motivates a lot of people: wealth, fame, having kids, getting married, owning property, etc. I'd wager quite a few of...
It's excessively important to write stuff down when you're feeling inspired. Doesn't matter whether you're in the shower, or if you've just gone to bed. These kind of inconvinient lightening bolts...
I posted a thread about this recently. I've always wanted to write, though for me plots are difficult. I do a better job at non-fiction writing. I did an autobiography course a couple years back,...
God yes! It's often music with me too. TV. Films. I have a go-to selection of DVDs for when I'm feeling down. Certain foods. Sleeping. At the moment: this forum. ;)
Ugh, hate large groups. The easiest thing to do would be to introduce her gradually, rather than hitting her with everyone at once. As an INFP, I have a terrible memory for names, and feel awful when...
I'm not interested. I have never been interested. Even as a kid I hated playing 'families' with the other kids. I wanted to read. :P
Sometimes I feel like I have no opinions. Of course, that's not true - sometimes it's just hard for me to articulate them in a manner which will not leave me misunderstood. I also HATE confrontation,...
So what you want is a self-hating INFP, cut off from their feelings? Why, may I ask?
I too have issues making my stories 'about' something. I tend to get too fixated on description or on a particular situation. I have trouble writing a 'plot.' I find that going for a walk with a tape...
Only Aussie so far. :( Come on fellow countryfolk, where are you?!
Totally this. I walk into poles (and sometimes people) waay too often. Oftentimes, because I am staring at a flower or contemplating the quality of light or something. I'm also quite bad at...
There is time: then there is INFP time. :D
Meloncholic. Don't even need to take a test. Then again, might just be the way I'm feeling today...
I can be pretty bad with money. But then, I can also 'survive' on whatever I have pretty well. I'm extremely wary of taking on any long-term commitments, like a mortgage, kids, car, etc. Even a 2...
Good pissed or bad pissed?
Vaan Maybe I was just lucky! I kinda found my entree into Sydney society via a band forum, plus my half-sister lives there. I had none of that in Melbourne, and I've found it really hard. :P Country...
I agree, though it can be a bit too 'cliquey' for me. Can't stand Sydney as a city, but the people are much more open = easier to make friends.
Yeah, I have an English father and a Scots mother. Dad says stupid things when he gets drunk, and I think he had a problem with alcohol before I was born. Mum has said before that is she didn't find...
Oh damn, do I agree. It's difficult being so truthful sometimes :P - but then I think I wouldn't be friends with people who are unable to deal with the truth.
Frodo Baggins: without a doubt. Which is a good sign, because he's 'one of us' apparently! I adore his ability to take on a great burden for the greater good and follow this commitment through until...
Discrimination, conservatism, bigotry, egocentricity, sliminess, naked ambition. Pretty sure all have been mentioned here before. Also clinginess. I need my space, damnit! X(
YeahYeahYeah I didn't hear an answer to my question...
Why thank you. :D And... hold on a minute ,why the discrimination against our own kind??
It's been said already, but I'm so happy to have found you people. I've know so few INFPs in my lifetime, it's a delight to read things I can actually relate to. As I work at a press clippings...
God, you people are amazing. Just want to say it. :D I guess, for me, my classic double-edged sword is my truthfulness. Well, I suppose if you're speaking of it as a positive, it would be called...
