'This got a little bit off-topic but I don't mind because I love typing Disney characters and I feel kind of silly posting this to begin with. I agree that I am an INFP, but I was doing this thing...
Oh, I didn't leave out the main princesses. I just referred to them as the 6 main princesses so I didn't have to write their names out individually. I was under the impression that Belle was an...
Before I begin, I feel I should point out that I realise this probably doesn't belong here because it is not really about the MBTI or Enneagram or psychological personality typing systems. But this...
Yeah. After that little brain loopy I went on, I got like eight books on the subject and was reading through them last night. After a thorough investigation and A LOT of reading, I agree that I am...
I swear to God, I hate being a perceiver. I can never settle on any damn thing. Just when I was convinced about my type, a bunch of things came up that started to make me question it again. For...
Well, like I said, when it comes to paying attention to the external world, I am sort of in between. Again, it is like Belle's stroll through her village where she is engrossed in her thoughts, but...
Thanks so much LiquidLight. This was unbelievably helpful. I am pretty certain I am an INFP now after out discussion. I definitely lean more towards Ne and Si than Se and Ni. And I definitely know...
Another thing I thought would be worth mentioning is that I read somewhere the Se functions sees and remembers objects as they are while Si functions sees objects but touches it up slightly,...
Okay, I think I get it. Just one more thing. How would one perceive their inner mental world. I'm slightly confused on that point because the very nature of perception (at least the way I...
Okay, so I tend to do this thing where I am watching a film or tv show and every so often, I will pause and let my mind imagine different ways the scene could have gone or will go. I insert other...
I'm starting to see the difference now. Out of curiosity and clarity, what is the difference between Se and Ne. I know the INFPs have and auxiliary Ne function and ISFPs have an auxiliary Se...
I just thought I might also mention another intuitive thing I tend to do. Usually when I read something I can tell the gender of the person who wrote it (obviously without looking at the name and...
Well, I definitely think that I tend to posit all the possibilities and move on from there. I'm very much a what if kind of person. I tend to look at all possible ways a scenario might go so I am...
I wouldn't say I prefer common sense to intuition or fantasy. I appreciate them both. As for experiencing intuitive feelings, I have experienced like that quite often. For instance, usually when I...
Okay, so I type as an INFP when taking tests (both Myers-Briggs and Cognitive Functions), but I am starting to have doubts about whether I am really an N or an S. I definitely value common sense...
I don't really mean to turn this into a discussion of type, but I have been questioning whether I am an INFP or an ISFP and am having trouble telling the difference between N and S. From what I am...
I think that is the perfect way to describe how I see the world too. I don't suffer from the illusion that humanity is all wonderful and honourable, but I do hold some flickering hope that they can...
I read on numerous occasions that the NFs are very idealistic and optimistic in their view of people and the world. They think that the world is an innately good place and people are all good and...
I was just thinking today how many superheroes usually have powers that fit their personality. Not always, but sometimes. Then it got me thinking what types of powers would each of the MBTI types...
I was just thinking today how many superheroes usually have powers that fit their personality. Not always, but sometimes. Then it got me thinking what types of powers would each of the nine enneagram...
I feel like when it comes to the concept of Batman, he is very much a 5w6. He is known in the DC verse as being a spectacular detective and is is described as remarkably intelligent. He is quite a...
Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my favourite films because I feel it is a movie about myself. I identify so much with Kiki. There is not one aspect of her that does not apply to me (except of...
I'm not sure, but I don't even know if the two types are compatible. I recently got into the enneagram and was debating on whether I was a 5w4, 4w5, or 9w1. I was having difficulty however and so I...
Thank you. :proud: It is at least comforting to know that some people can relate to these problems and I am not alone in that regard. It already helps me feel less isolated. I can't tell you how...
Well, that is true. My INFP friend is my best friend (though she is currently far away from me in Israel), and it took us all of 15 minutes to become super close. I honestly only found out she was an...
Although I am grateful for all of you guys for making me feel less alone, I totally agree that internet relationships aren't enough to satisfy a desire for connection and friendship. I think the...
I am currently in the middle of my second year in college and I am sorting out a whole host of complicated emotions about my friend, both old and new, and my ability (or lack thereof) to make...
I sometimes wish that someone would physically attack me so I would know what it felt like. On the same note, that would also give me a reason to attack the person back. Then I would also know what...
When you feel very antsy and uncomfortable riding in anything that is pulled/carried by an animal/person because you don't think that animal/person should have to carry your weight. You would much...
You too?! :crazy: I cried at the end of Prince Caspian as well. How on Earth could they voluntarily leave Narnia. :crying: I could never do it. And it doesn't help when the music really drives home...
Why would someone try to ban free hugs?! If you ask me, I think everyone should go around hugging random strangers. What a great world that would be. :laughing:
Why on earth wear people cheering?! I was practically in tears. I knew he would become Darth Vader no matter what, but I couldn't help but hope against hope that he would change his mind. Kudos to...
Oh boy. This reminded me of a show I watched yesterday. Do you know those times when your friends find out that there is this person (most likely it is you or another INFP) who firmly believes in...
Lol! Wrong place to post that question. If anyone on this forum has an answer I too would be grateful for some insight into this foreign practice. Why on earth do so many people enjoy getting drunk...
When you cry at the end of Prince Caspian because you don't understand why they have to leave. :sad: (Just watched it recently and those 4 kids must have the willpower of gods because I don't think I...
I do this ALL the time. I don't know if it's only the INFP's who do this. If it is, that is really sad. Some of my best moments are spent walking somewhere completely enveloped in my own thoughts....
In true INFP fashion, the sympathetic idealist emerges. :happy: I'm right there with you. Sometimes I wonder what these corporate executives are thinking when they... I don't know... abandon a...
I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with this. I don't really understand the stigma of porn or why people think it is disgusting because, lets face it, serious romantic relationships...
I'm not sure if people notice, and if they do, I'm not sure how many really appreciate it. For example, I love those times when a strong rain is coming and you can kind of sense it coming hours...
You know you are an INFP when... * You love art but you cannot suffer through a formal art class because you prefer to draw the things from your imagination instead of something that is already...
So absolutely true! Mine gets longer before it gets shorter.
This is a personal peeve of mine. I totally respect gay relationships and if two characters on a show turn out to be gay lovers, I am absolutely fine with that (we need a more diverse representation...
OH GOD! Thank the Lord I'm not the only one like this. I don't drink at all, and my friends are constantly trying to get me to have some kind of alcoholic beverage. I always tell them it's...
I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I used to be the same way before. But eventually I did meet someone (my best friend) who I love to death. Admittedly, as an INFP I still need my alone...
Oh boy. I know both of these situations SO well. My mom likes to move around. She can never sit still for too long, which is why she makes a bad movie-going buddy. So she used to come into my room...
I am totally fascinated by anti-heroes too. I think its because INFPs are all about redemption, second chances, and seeing past the exterior evil to the interior good of people. This is why Beauty...
When your fantasies are so real that you aren't sure how much of your memories actually happened and how much you imagined and/or edited to make better.
This one might just be me being weird, but I'll post anyway. When you were a child and had a huge identity crisis over your gender because you were wondering what exactly makes a boy a boy and a...
I saw a clip of this movie and I couldn't stop crying. This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Its these small acts of complete and utter kindness and love that convince me the world can be a beautiful...
My aunt got really worried about me once because my eating and sleeping schedule isn't really a schedule. I had to tell her that I eat and sleep when it's most convenient (a.k.a. whenever I want...'
