'I love this. So true, all of it.
I have to disagree with those two statements. My involvement with a fellow INFP, which ended up going completely wrong, shed light to me on the self-centered nature of our INFP Fi. Yes, while things...
Yup, same here. I also notice it a lot in regards to how my Ne behaves. I seem to have been stuck in an Fi-Si loop for what feels like forever now, and sometimes it makes me doubt my type, because I...
Personally, what I have a serious problem with is the apparent notion that the potential pitfalls for our personality type are an instant deal breaker for most women, yet other types' own potential...
I can relate with what you said, I too tend to overanalyze on 1 vs 1 games, and in fighting videogames I too lack the skill to pull off certain moves. In addition, once things don't go my way, I can...
Oh yes, I've seen this too, haha. No offense to any Te users who may read this, but this doesn't make much sense to me. It sounds like overblown Te; using the function where it doesn't belong....
I couldn't agree more. I think the notion of getting together with someone who complements us strikes closer to home with Te and Fe types. Fe types have the tendency to help everyone around them...
I agree with this. I honestly find it kind of lazy to get together with someone that balances one's personality; it seems to imply that the matters that one is not good at will be left in the hands...
This. Authenticity is a huge turn on, both personality-wise and in regards to looks. Make up is almost always an instant turn off for me. Openness when it comes to sex, and wanting to try new...
I've seen this behavior, but in an INFP, actually. I don't have a whole lot of real life experience with ISFPs, but my only experience with another INFP has been horrible. I do agree with what has...
From my experience and own interactions with INFJs, I've seen that INFJs tend to have more collectivistic values, whereas INFPs' views are more individualistic. This is obviously not true for all...
You could always try telling her how she would feel if she were in the shoes of those around her, how she would feel if she was on the receiving end of her own behavior, etc. If logic doesn't work,...
I find that those theories do not translate well into reality. Shared functions or not, I find that ESTJs are in direct opposition to the very things that I stand for; as such, interaction with them...
Exactly my experience.
This is highly common among introverted types, and more particularly among Fi users, so if he's a type that has that function, this is pretty normal behavior. Besides the role that shyness itself...
I'm in a similar situation. Last year I met this girl with whom I'm great friends now. It's a deep, close and unconventional friendship, in a way; we both see it that way. I started developing...
Disillusioned. Almost numb. Disappointed by the fact that the ideal form of connecting to someone is just that, and ideal; thus, unattainable. Also, like shit, for being as inhumane as to measure...
Yep, it could, as tests can be very inaccurate. At their core, ISFPs and INFPs are extremely similar, so you'll definitely see yourself in the ISFP is you are considering INFP. I advise you to...
Not that I'm purposefully casting more doubts into you now that you've settled for INFP, but I'm getting an INFJ vibe here, to be honest. From what you've written, I gather that you put a lot of...
I saw this in an INFP description, it was used to illustrate the essential differences between the INFP and the INTP. It's from Soren Kierkegaard: x93There is something missing in my life, and it...
Just wanted to comment on this particular bit: If Ti is more concerned with ideas and with the abstract, Te is concerned with empiric, objective data. Ergo, the whole asking for facts thing...
I think Jung was purposefully vague about function hierarchy because he realized that from his 8 basic personality types there could be endless amounts of subtypes. MBTI's and Socionic's 16 types...
Nope, just the other way around, actually. First I got into MBTI, then I started reading Jung more in depth, which made me rethink a lot of things about MBTI.
This is very interesting, it's an issue I've had with MBTI too, and I'm sure it's lead to a lot of mistyping. Like you said, in MBTI, it's like the dominant and the auxiliary are inseparable in a...
Both MBTI and Socionics assume that if you are introverted (and thus have a primary function which is introverted) your auxiliary function will be extroverted. Some people believe that's not...
I agree with Ray Mabry here, in the end there will always be different interpretations and definitions floating around of the same thing. Even Jung himself, initially, had a very different concept of...
I don't know much about Socionics, but in MBTI the whole J/P dichotomy bothers me. It baffles me that an introverted feeler would be typed as a perceiving type based solely on their auxiliary...
I agree with a lot of what has been said here. While I admit I have fun trying to figure other people's types, as well as my own, typing people for the sake of typing, putting you and others in...
I agree with what Entr0py said. Lots of INFPs claim to have very strong Ti, and that doesn't make them any less of an INFP. Yes, Fi and Ti oppose each other, but not as much as Te opposes to Fi. Even...
Hey all. I'm in the middle of an assignment for my psychology major, in which we're supposed to pass a questionnaire to people, get the results back and then analyze them. I need as many people as...
I think I need my significant other to show me affection and to be open (at least to a certain degree) about their feelings, but overall I'd go with INTP, as I don't see myself being with a Sensor...
Fifty fifty. I thought I would score higher into the female side of the continuum, but I guess it's accurate, as I really don't fully relate to either genre, for the better or the worse :
Are you referring to romantic relationships, or any kind of relationship? If the latter, I've known for over 3 years someone who I believe is an ISTP (never made him take the test, but he seems like...
I'm putting my money on introverted feeling as your primary, based on a couple of things you described there (such as hating hearing people insult others), which would confirm that you are IXFP....
I certainly did. Not exactly the same way, but very very similar. In fact, to some very small degree, I think it still happens to me. Not the being in some sort of game thing, but feeling that...
Fire. Fire = Passion. What is life without passion? (not coincidentally, my favorite color is red)
I think I get infatuated with someone pretty damn quickly. As for true love... I don't think I've ever experienced it, so I don't know. I tend to get quite emotional about my crushes (that damn Fi...
Actually, I said that imagining how it could for other people, because looking back at my whole life I'm pretty sure I've always been both an N and a P, hah. This contradicts what I said, but I think...
I think introversion and the F are pretty much determined at birth. On one hand, introversion is about our energy levels, about getting energized with alone time and drained with social interaction,...
Yeah, I feel you. It's usually either about those topics or about women (in a superficial kind of way, suffice to say). The solution would be, obviously, to go find other NFs to surround ourselves...
Male INFP here, but I can relate (actually, most people here probably will). I can't feel completely attracted to someone just based on the physical component, and not only do I need to be attracted...
Besides female INFPs being pretty, I have to add that they also have incredibly nice voices. On top of it just sounding nice, it always seems to have a certain aura of shyness to it that makes you...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb289srffGA Sound's horrible, I don't know what's up with my webcam. And in the previous videos I tried making it was even worse. Anyway... yeah... *goes hide in...
Same here. Also, my verbal English kind of sucks, so that really puts me off of making one :dry:
I second that. Seriously, what's up with that. Is there some INFP female gene or something that you all share? Because every INFP girl I've ever seen has been nothing short of astonishing.
ENFJs and ENFPs sound totally awesome. They are types with whom we INFPs can both connect to on a significant and meaningful level, and complement each other with our differences. Being in a...
I think you could tell her just what you wrote here. Tell her how you feel about it, tell her that you want to comfort her because you care about her, and also how you don't want invade her space,...
I've never thought of doing that trigger cue cue thing, I'll have to give it a shot, maybe it comes useful for me too! In my case, I think self-rumination does the most harm to me right...
Exactly the same here. I still, inevitably, engage in self-rumination after certain social interactions, but for the most part I think I made the transition from self-rumination towards...
I'm sure there are awesome people of all personality types, but you could say I'm a bit biased against ESTPs, due to someone I met of said personality type. Inconsiderate, insensitive and egocentric....'
