Diplomats INFP

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

'Ummm...what about communist atheists? Communists aren't inherently evil (misguided yes, but not evil), but I'm willing to bet that many millions of them were compelled to do evil things from...

Well, western-style atheism doesn't really have any guiding moral or ethical principles of its own IMO. So it's difficult for me to take anything from it as a means of living my life in an imperfect...

INFP, ESTP and ISTJ would be pretty bad. ESTP: Their lifestyle would probably be too careless and/or hedonistic for either the INFP or ISTJ. The ESTP would also offend the INFP regularly plus be...

INFP and formally Catholic (which I have no problem with because I tend to believe in God, whilst not discounting the possibility that I could be wrong), but my life philosophy really comes from...

459 - The Contemplative

Aside from anti-depressants, I don't take drugs (and I'm not exactly addicted to them either). Certainly I'd never touch recreational drugs with a ten foot pole. I know that only bad things could...

Usually: Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff (maybe leaning slightly more towards the former because of my relative eccentricity) Pottermore: Gryffindor (now that was a turn-up for the books :shocked:)

You are by far the most ordinary person I've ever met.

Well, it's relatively simple in my case: Australia is very much a masculine culture (well, more pseudo-masculine these days given the unhealthy worship of Australian females among many guys) where...

My experiences with ESFJ's vary greatly. I usually got on OK with the male ESFJ's at my school, but I rarely developed strong friendships with them because we ultimately had different interests...

ideal you

real you

Introversion

|| 56%

I don't take it well. If I have a bad experience, I'm probably less likely than most of the population to be particularly enthusiastic about going through it again. Case in point: socialising with...

Hmmm...some people I relate to better than others, but at the end of the day, everyone is different. However, I feel that I'm more different than most others. The vast majority of people either don't...

As an INFP, do you really want a FWB arrangement? I mean, the premise of such an arrangement is that the guy uses you as one of his proverbial pearls on a string to have relations with. Listen to...

I have the same issue - I feel like I don't really fit properly in this world, no matter how hard I try (apparently indicative of low Te). There's not much one can do except try to do things that...

I tend to feel that Se-types tend to enjoy exercise more than Si-types simply because Se revolves somewhat around sensation-seeking - exercise most certainly provides its fair share of sensations. I...

I have an on-off relationship with exercise, TBH. I can't savour or enjoy the physical sensation of exercise because I have no Se, so it just becomes an Si-style routine - and not really a very...

ISTJ, INTJ and INFJ were ones I tested as, which I found very curious even before I really became aware of the cognitive functions. The description for INFJ and ISTJ is nothing alike. However, I've...

Well, I've never particularly wanted to save the world - the world is too big and screwed-up for me to change by myself; saving the world requires a symphony of collective goodwill. Moreover, I'm too...

The problem is that this sort of totalitarianism has been present in pretty much every Marxist regime to some extent or another (obviously most obvious in Marxist-Leninist states). Even the Moldovan...

*edited*

Theoretically the concept of Marxism isn't the worst - there have been concepts that have more obviously led to death and suffering, though it is a bit unrealistic. In practice however, the sheer...

My mother's an obvious ISFJ; you should see her in one of her 'Ne' moments, making up catastrophic theories regarding what could happen to me if I went somewhere (I just think 'wow' when she does...

@NighTi ...and thanks for your considered response back. Sorry for taking so long to respond. When considering the MBTI, I now feel that it's wise to distinguish between innate traits (i.e -...

Only lingering uncertainty (maybe because of Ne's open-ended nature, I dunno)...plus the fact that I have Asperger's, which is a bit of a game-changer. :tongue:

I must also say that I lack the global vision that many INFJ's seem to have - I'm simply content to help out individuals, rather than aiming to alter the fate of entire communities (lack of Fe?). ...

Fascinating, because I initially thought that I may have been an INFJ, but I soon reasoned that the cognitive functions didn't quite fit (at the behest of others), so I eventually deduced that I was...

Really depends on what type of advice you want. For instance, if I was soliciting advice on how to hook up with Australian girls, I'd talk to an ESTP. On the other hand, if I wanted advice...

Honestly, the SJ/SP/NF/NT categorisations are too broad to describe the philosophy of each type within those categories regarding fate, future and freewill. For instance, INFP's and INFJ's may share...

They can be when I'm in a bad mood. However, I'm not usually so much annoyed by 'happy people' as I am by people who seem to live for peddling cliches without a second thought (don't worry,...

Yeah, I still have lingering doubts not only because of my Asperger's (which naturally lends a bias towards INTP), but also because of the uncertainty that Ne-dom and aux types tend to have because...

Confirmation bias then, I guess...:mellow:

I used to write short stories when I was younger - thrillers and military conflicts were my bag. In later years, I used to write self-hating spiels. It was a great way of dealing with depression...

There is no perfect economic system, unfortunately. All of them have some obvious flaws. However, it seems to me that capitalism is simply the 'least worst' of them, to paraphrase Winston...

Yeah, I don't see much evidence to suggest that you're an ISTJ or ISFJ, either. I'm leaning towards INFP with an intermittent Fi-Si loop (you describe yourself as being 'avoidant' more than once,...

I used to have this problem; I offset it somewhat by starting my tasks ASAP, so even when I get distracted by 10,000 other things or suffer from a loss of motivation, it doesn't affect my ability to...

0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex,...

A Si-Fi (Introverted Sensing/Introverted Feeling) loop occurs when you don't use your auxillary/secondary function (in this case, Te or Extraverted Thinking) as much or as proficiently as you should,...

OK: ISTJ (makes sense looking back because I was under stress and hence using my lesser functions - i.e, Si and Te - too often) INTJ (I knew I was too 'weird' and maladjusted to be an ISTJ) INFJ...

What is your type and what are your political views? I'm an INFP. However, I lean slightly towards the right, but still consider myself a swing voter if the technically leftist party is more...

I'm actually leaning towards INTP based on what you said - you also have the tendency to over-think which is not something I would not necessarily expect from an INFP. I would expect it from a Ti-dom...

INxx, probably. It took me a long time to figure out that I was an FP and not a TJ, because of how often I was forced to use my inferior function (Te) to get through school and university. I...

-Do you get into leadership roles? How much? I avoid them if at all possible; I don't think I'm a great leader or the most ideal person for such a role. However, I'm inevitably forced to get into...

Judging by my experiences with Indonesian girls (Muslim and Christian alike), Thais and Filipinas, I would say yes. Even Chinese women seem to like me. It really depends on what you're after. SE...

In a perfect world, I'd be a pacifist. I think we would all be. However, as unenthusiastic as I am about promoting killing, there are times when I have to face that going to war would save more...

I empathise with you; god knows that many of these same thoughts and feelings have run through my head a lot over the years. However, the problem is not quite what you think it is - and no, I'm not...

It's certainly an interesting topic; I myself have pondered whether I've had a past life, whether God (or whoever/whatever) conducts some sort of recycling program with souls out of convenience. I've...

You know, I used to think just like you; I thought I was the most unattractive person on the planet when I was younger even though logically speaking, that's obviously not true. Problem is, us INFP's...

For me to know that you really care about me will be more than enough. Positive words and positive actions mean more than words to me. Even a positive acknowledgment wouldn't go amiss. I hardly...

Mostly content, but with a tinge of anxiety around my future. Our dominant Fi makes us desire closure and for things to be settled in our minds; currently this isn't really the case with me...'
