Has any INFP tried this career? Landscape Design, Architect, or Horticulture? I'm really thinking about a career in this field.
I agree! I'm hoping to work at a nature center soon. Watching kids explore the outdoors brings out that young boy in me that used to go searching for frogs in the ponds! Oh, I'd so love to be a...
Awesome! I'm an Eagle Scout as well! I loved being a part of Boy Scouts! I traveled all over the U.S. Did you get to travel anywhere special?
So, how do you (as an infp) deal with the speech part of communications? I have no doubt in my one-on-one communication abilities, but I'm very shy and nervous in the oral commuication area. I think...
I am not an overly religious person. I would call myself agnostic, but some part of me wants to believe in a higher power. Having said that... I've been depressed lately about life and college....
I made a mistake with college. I've spent 6 years in college thus far with not much to show for it. I've changed my major 6+ times. I took a break last year and then decided to get back into by...

It's complicated. I'm the only INFP in my family. My brother's are very down to earth and hands on types of people (working in carpentry and automobiles). They are careless, egotistical, and redneck....
I'm pushing myself to commit to a major in English and minor in Environmental Studies/Geography. My alternative is Organizational Leadership major and Environmental Studies/Geography minor. I can't...
