'Are you guys actually all INTJs? :D
Everyone is always like Oh I'd stick up for them and stuff, but I never felt like people stuck up for me much. Most people are just self righteous hypocrites.
Can that really be separated from our society though? I think capitalism encourages people to think of others as being resources, we have have terms like human resources and human capital that...
Punishment might be necessary in some cases to prevent someone from harming again, but I think violent people generally suffer from mental illness, or are just reflecting the cruelty of the society...
It seems like most people would take pleasure in say, their bully or abuser being brutally murdered or something, based upon what I read/hear in real life and on the Internet. Probably about 80 to 95...
I'm the opposite actually (INFP here). I like older kids but babies literally get on my nerves with their crying and loudness. I don't have anything against them personally, but I'm physically...
Do you think it's fair to say that ISFJs have personality characteristics that are stereotypically maternal? They seem like the momma bears of humanity, like being nurturing and caring as a rule...
Actually, my refusal to fight back has saved my ass a lot of times. I'm pretty sure if I tried to fight back my mugger he would have stabbed or beat the crap out of me. I'd rather just lose the $60.
Even though BC is beautiful, I found the people in Ontario were a lot more down to earth and not as unfriendly. And I was in Toronto mostly too!
Exactly! It's so annoying. Lots of very smug people in that city.
Well just little things like, um. For one thing it's taboo in Portland to ask classmates or coworkers out on dates. I added a coworker to my Facebook and she accepted, but then she unfriended me just...
Maybe I should move to Europe then. Or would Quebec do? I've heard it's the most free-spirited part of North America, and the easiest province in Canada to immigrate to, if you can speak Francais.
Yeah, I always thought I was unhappy because of a bad attitude of my own but really overhyped cities like Portland and Austin do kick your ass. I think people who live there just get defensive...
That's another thing I disliked about Portland. It feels like a crowded small town! One of the things Portland bills itself as is a big city with a small town feel. I actually think it's the...
Would you generally agree that Portland is not nearly as hippie/left wing as people think? I think there is certainly that contingent there in relatively small numbers, but I've always thought it was...
No, I hear you! I think Portland is definitely more of an ISTJ city. It's more libertarian than progressive for sure and the standard of living IMO is actually lower than most places in the US.
I think INTPs are more similar to us than INFJs are.
I lived in Portland and loved it the first year or two but rather I realized the city's true colors I grew to hate living there. It's ridiculously expensive, the housing quality sucks, and the...
I agree with this completely, except I think your description of Vancouver and Seattle describes Portland to a tee as well! Definitely more INFJ or INTJ than INFP. People in the Pacific Northwest are...
Well that's what she tested as, and she does have some of the features for sure.
Generally I find INTJs lean towards being overly smug smartasses but my best female friend is an INTJ and she's a lot more sensitive than most of them. I think she may even have some INFP/INFJ...
I think booze is fine in moderation. I don't think it's as harmful to your body as soda or over-eating unless you are literally a drunk.
Good point! I actually think the West Coast might have a higher proportion of INFPs than many other places, but paradoxically it's also one of the hardest places to be an INFP!
I don't think the West Coast is a good place for an INFP. Very image and money centric, and people here I find generally aren't sympathetic towards depressed people at all. Not that all INFPs are...
I think the college kids who move to Portland don't represent the city itself. Most of them aren't even from the city. The old guard in Portland, which you will have to deal with when you live...
In a way yeah. I find a heartless libertarian more dislikable than a repentant violent criminal. It's easier for me to hate Ron Paul than Mike Tyson.
I think the West Coast, and increasingly the entire Western part of the US is essentially a banana republic for the IT and medical industries and functions like a giant resort. You have the...
I often hear about San Francisco, Seattle, Portland etc being good cities for INFPs but I disagree. There's a few reasons why. For one the West Coast is all about false positivity. Express any...
I also feel that while vegetarianism is a noble choice, we evolved as omnivores and there's nothing wrong with us following that nature. Some people actually need the nutrition in meat that you can't...
It seems like we INFPs have a tendency to love animals more than people. I've also noticed this with people who have Asperger syndrome which I also have. I did a poll on wrongplanet and the vast...
I know my type INFP has a reputation for kind of being wusses and my best friend who's a girl is an INTJ. We're actually pretty similar in a lot of ways but I know she has a lot less tolerance for BS...
Do you think INTJs are really intolerant of lazy and immoral people and tend towards conservatism or SJW-ism? Would you say they are unforgiving and ruthless as a type and lean towards...
I think the main problem with like the American justice system isn't even so much that it's harsh, but more that it doesn't offer an opportunity for redemption and reconciliation back into society. I...
I think the ISFJ/ESFJ types can be vengeful in a momma bear kind of way too, but forgiving towards harm done to themselves. I think they are compassionate and forgiving to their loved ones but tend...
I find it interesting how INTJs tend to be pretty vengeful. Though being rational people, they aren't insanely bloodthirsty like some other types can be. Like my best female friend is an INTJ and...
Oh god, yeah, the hatred towards sex offenders is insane. Obviously things like rape and molestation are very serious, but some people act like it's worse than genocide or something. I've even heard...
I agree with you completely. One of the few things that makes me see red is when someone thinks they are better than me, like they won't even talk to me if I ask or say something to them, or they...
It's always seemed a bit cruel to me to hate psychopaths and sociopaths, when it's not THEIR fault they aren't able to empathize normally. It's the same kind of mentality that would support the death...
I'm an INFP but I've tested for INTP once. I think Dreamers and Thinkers are two sides of the same coin and both actually describe me pretty well, but I find INTPs can be a little bit too...
I only support punishment if a person needs to be confined for the protection of others, or it's just a fine or something like that. I don't agree with punishing people merely because they deserve...
I even felt offended when people were jeering when Bin Laden died, that's how INFP I am.
Yeah people think I'm a weirdo because I even feel sorry for murderers and rapists when they suffer. I'm an INFP and I can't just turn off empathy or be OK with someone being tortured just because...
What personality types do you think are Forgivers and which are Avengers? Forgiver meaning they tend to let things go, feel sympathy even for their enemies, don't agree philosophically with the...
I don't really get this whole children are infinitely more important than adults meme that's so popular today. I just see children as being young humans. I don't put them on a pedestal.
The thing is I relate to both INTP and INFP pretty well. I'm very skeptical and scientific but I'm also a romantic idealist, I don't see these traits as being exclusive.
Yes. I'm pretty empathetic, but being an Aspie I'm horrible at putting myself in others' shoes, and sometimes I overthink things so much it makes me cynical and not really care about anything at all....
I actually test as INFP pretty often. I'm a true hybrid, even though a lot of people insist INTPs and INFPs are completely opposite.
I'm an INTP but very close to an INFP. I usually test on the borderline. I think as a child/teen when I was really into feminism and animal rights I definitely would have been INFP, but I've become a...'
