'Comments I got in school essays: Get to the point. Point? Stay on topic! Read the assignment ...and so forth In university marks aren't much better, but the nice thing about technical...
Welkom Antie/Tannie/Mevrou :D
I'm a bit buggered. :D I'm an IT student; currently in my last semester before getting my degree. We got a semester group project. Our group consisted of five guys, but the numbers dwindled...
Welcome. Idealists set very high benchmarks. We're like a password verification system. Everything that gets absorbed by our mind has to be authenticated and verified. In this manner, when...
I'm both for and against the death penalty. I believe in the existence of evil; the existence of evil people. Sometimes the society has to be protected from people whose existence spells harm. ...

As an amateur historian and bit of a philosopher I haven't had a shortage of disappointing conversations. People who actually like to talk about history and philosophy are more scarce than people...
I'm a computer science student. This is my last year... ...and yes, I can't say that I've always been 100% invested in programming and computer science concepts, but it's a whole different world....
I like more concrete themes: - Tactical shooters - Grand Strategy Games (I love most titles from Paradox Games) - Real time strategy (historical games are a bonus)
Hi there. Enjoy your stay. Whahahahaha!
I think you hit the proverbial nail. I have one example I can think of right off the bat. INFPs overvalue mercy. Many INFPs, including myself, would give less harsh sentences for rebels or...
I figure it would be unusual for an INFP idealist not to get offended or offensive if his ideology is on the line. Wouldn't you? Ideas often contradict each other. Therefore their living,...
LOL here goes nothing! Vocaroo | Voice message
Someone comes into your room and says: Very minimalistic... You: Say what? Someone:I mean very few wall mounts, ornaments, pictures, paintings etc. You: Oh I already have all those...
Claustrophobic There are those who despise tight spaces who hate confinement at least in their own basement There's some truth I concur I need room
Indeed, it holds fast to its Dutch roots. Afrikaans used to have fairly distinct dialects that tied in with the different cultural groups that spoke the language, but nowadays differences are...
Amen brother.
How many languages can you speak/have you learned? 2: English and Afrikaans Do you like learning languages? I would classify myself as an amateur linguist more than a polyglot. I therefore...
Wish I could give you a triple like for that! I guess being an INFP I want to see good even in the worst of people, but one of my favourites is Vaas Montenegro. The depth that Far Cry 3 gives him...
Gender roles overall have changed so much that they're harder defined nowadays. What is traditional today may not be traditional tomorrow. The information age has brought its blessing over those of...
Theoretically, INFPs and INTPs should bide quite well. However, as I've experienced speaking to INTPs, they're not as emotionally invested in their arguments as INFPs are. INFPs invest a huge...
South Africa here. Monarchs have over the last few decades become more of celebrities than rulers. For some countries the monarchies are like sports teams representing the nation's image, tradition...
I can relate. I'm scared. Scared that I might mess something up or a risk is not worth taking. Then I get lazy.
I think social networking is a blessing and a curse for most INFPs. Social networking yields some much needed anonymity and stimulation for our general curiosity of other human beings. It's...
I have a friend who's definitely an INFP, but he suppresses his personality quite often. He didn't have a very good childhood. His peers were unnecessarily critical of him and so one can see how he...
Hi everyone I've always wanted to publish writings of my own creation on the net. I've tried poetry and literature, but my stories and poems stagnated on many servers; unseen and unread. A...
In a 3rd world country a degree is very important. You have so many other people looking for jobs so the skilled and unskilled have to be filtered out. In South Africa there's a policy called...
Definitely something in between. I keep a close eye on deadlines. They're more important to me than daily routine or planning. I'm of course more product orientated.
I think emotional detachment is a coping mechanism. Being in university I see a lot of different people dealing with an array of different predicaments. When the grades don't look so good or...
I do feel misunderstood, but I know why... Communication skills. I just can't convey my feelings and thoughts properly.
Hello there A lot of people here are INFPs, so welcome to the cool kids club!
I don't know an INFP that acts/has acted similarly - including myself. The reason I say this is INFPs are usually very accommodating and will often back down if they sense an issue causes harm in...
I'm not entirely sure about this one, but I think either the main character - John Reese - or his helper - Harold Finch - could be an INFP in Person of Interest.
I love speaking to INTPs about philosophy.
I cannot speak generally, but the battle between hedonism and idealism in my case would have a lot to do with personal faith. If I hadn't worshipped the Christian God I would have thought nothing...
In studying for computer science I find it best just to practise a lot. I don't remember that well so I take code and write it down over and over again, compartmentalizing pieces of code at the same...
Hey guys I can't give directions! I've been feeling like a real fool. Every time someone asks directions, I mess it up some way or another. A few days ago, a first year student (I'm 2nd year...
One of my best friends is an ISTJ. It's quite an odd friendship, but we've been friends so long that we've passed many of our differences. Obviously the difference comes in with his organized...
I'm South African and I'm a minarchist. My forefathers were predominantly German and French pastorals living in the Karoo (a semi-desert in South Africa). They fell in love with a part of the...
You're not alone! I find it hard not to represent my real life feelings in any role playing situation. In Fallout for example I usually make the same decisions in every play through. Some times I...
Hello folks The name is Will and I'm from South Africa. I currently study Information Technology at a university. I've always been a strong INFP and I've found it to be a blessing and a curse. ...'
