MBTI

Mediator

Diplomats INFP

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'Everyone calls us the puppies of MBTI. How bad can my fellow INFPs reaaaaaally be when pushed to the limit?

Three things I have identified thus far: 1. Intelligence level. People tend to choose partners of similar intelligence, and MBTI won't tell you if someone has the same intelligence level as...

His attachment style is definitely a doozy here. It's easily explained in the Enneagram, where he types as 3w4 sx. MBTI doesn't have an equivalent to the Enneagram's variant stacking though :/

This is where things just get muddy! He's VERY opinionated, especially about creative stuff, and does not mind stepping on a few toes to get his point across. He's been called an asshole before,...

We actually met online, hahaha. Perfect internet couple indeed!

Mother: ISFJ Father: ISTJ Me (eldest daughter): INFP Younger brother: ISTJ Youngest brother: ExFx (definitely not ESFP, but could be ESFJ, ENFP or ENFJ) I'm an idealist surrounded by sentinels!

A long time ago my boyfriend took the MBTI test, and came back INFP. I'm INFP too, and we have such easy and awesome conversations that I kind of just went with it. It seemed obvious he was INFP to...

Worriedfunction, Okay... Not sure if anyone's said this yet, because I'm not going to bother reading all 6 pages... But the way you posed this question was sure to set off the dogs. You came here...

What's your type and what is most likely to steer you down the road of unhealthiness? Feel free to use specific examples if you have any. If you know another type personally and have seen their...

After dating another INFP, I can't imagine being with another type. Dating an ISFJ was a nightmare. According to this site, NFs have the highest satisfaction rate with other NFs at 73% (second only...

My doctor put me on Lunesta, which I found to be much more helpful than Ambien (have you read those horror stories?!). I also used to listen to ASMR videos on YouTube while I fell asleep to give me...

Today I was thinking about how one of the reasons that my INFP boyfriend and I get along so well is that we both have terrible sleep patterns. We can both stay up for extended periods of time (even...

emberfly, Why did you lead me to that Elliot Rodger YouTube video?! Watching stuff like that makes me sick, thinking about how impossibly deluded some people are. Reading the comments defending...

Yet another ESFP! Starbuckskat and Draumande Romvesen called it. If we stick to the suggestion by Swordsman of Mana that ExFxs may be more likely to post, his idea that 2s, 3s, and 7s would also...

It's true, any type most likely to thread is going to be chock-full of stereotypes. But I'm still interested in what people think/their personal opinions on the matter.

Double post.

The only ESFP (7w8) I know is also a selfie-lover; she doesn't use social media often, but when she does it's usually to post a photo of herself. The other 7 I know has a 6 wing and might as well...

For example, I don't identify at all with the hopeless romantic descriptions of 4.

Let's assume we're dealing with average health levels. Which types are more likely to initiate a breakup, which types are more prone to be the victims of a breakup? Would these tendencies change...

First off, I'll say that health levels/maturity matter above all. An intuitive would get along MUCH better with a healthy sensor than another unhealthy intuitive. That said, I'll recount my...

Which type (or types) is most likely to post selfies or status updates about themselves? MBTI and Enneagram types welcome. For Enneagram, I think wings make a big difference here as I can see a 4w3...

I'm a painfully image conscious INFP. I just think I'm less likely to do something about it than a S type might, mostly because I lack motivation, but not because I don't care.

My Sx boyfriend has admitted that he would stay if he felt he didn't have any other options. He cannot tolerate being alone and would rather be in a bad relationship, even if the partner cheated. ...

@ GUIMPIV, Thanks, this is an interesting read.

RobynC These parts specifically say 6 to me: They have anxiety issues largely centering around not knowing what to do either because they don't want to look like an idiot or incompetent, and...

Harsh, man. These read like personal vendettas.

alittlebear, I have no idea what this means, but it made me laugh so hard.

@ GUIMPIV, Can you explain this better? Hamilton wasn't attributing Will, Mind, Life to the Enneagram, that is your doing, correct? What did the titles Will, Mind, Life mean to him?

Romantically? I'm so/sx and feel most comfortable with an sx partner who will do the pursuing. I need to know that someone can commit and will be there for me emotionally, that's the only way I'd...

Swordsman of Mana, Interesting thread, you should do this for other types as well. Where are you getting your info from?

This just oozes 6 to me

Ohhhh yes, I seem to have endless empathy for bad people. I was reading about this revenge porn site guy who got 18 years in prison and I immediately felt it was too harsh. Then I read the comments...

INFP Agnostic I wouldn't be so bold as to say there isn't a god, but a long personal journey led me away from the faith I was raised in (Christianity). If a genuine all-loving supreme being...

This is an interesting concept. Kind of how 4s are most prone to depression but also the most equipped to deal with it, as they embrace their negative feelings. I wonder if being prone to...

This is what trips me up. I know as a 4w5 I often choose to isolate myself, and after a while I may grow lonely and then just not want to see anyone because I feel bad, perpetuating the isolation...

Why did you choose to isolate yourself?

Quang, What makes you say 4-5s? Judging from my reading that it is extroverts who are most prone to loneliness, I would not have guessed 4-5. However, being an introverted 4w5 myself, I only...

What makes you say that?

It seems to me that the instinctual variant SX is most prone to loneliness, and I have read that extroverts are more prone to loneliness than introverts (although introverts are more likely to be...

I'd like to see what SO doms have to say about taste. Are they generally known for having good taste or just for being self-conscious about taste?

My best friend (extroverted 7w6) and boyfriend (introverted 3w4) are both SX doms. Their SX manifests how you might expect for an introvert and extrovert. My best friend is incredibly devoted...

o0india0o, It's ridiculous to think that one form of art is somehow better or more right than another, especially when the type of art a person chooses tells you so much about the person. Art...

MY favored career, 4w5 so/sx, is filmmaking. I want to be a director. It is also the favored career of my 3w4 sx/so boyfriend. My 7w6 sx/so best friend wanted to be a biologist, then a chef, then...

Do you have type 3 in your tritype? That might explain why, when growing healthy, you experience positive aspects of 3 more than 9. Conversely, if you type very low as 9, that might also explain why...

My 8 roommate is actually an artist. He paints only 2 dimensional paintings of people, in black and white. He's an unhealthy 8 and I think his art style is a perfect representation of how he sees...

I used to keep a journal, back when it would help me work through my emotions and clear my head. Then I fell into a bout of depression. I looked up one day after months of journaling and realized I'd...

4w5. Emotion? Blistering cancer of the soul.

My SX boyfriend. The day after he told me he liked me, and told him I liked him too, he said, I love you. I said, You can't possibly know that. He cried.

That is such a 6 dream I laughed out loud while reading it.

4w5-9-5, so/sx My dreams consistently have tidal waves which I read is indicative of feeling overwhelmed, although I don't often feel overwhelmed. Mostly I struggle with inaction, waiting for the...'
