'I know I know. I thought about it then felt bad for lying!!!
No! I have only been back in work a couple of days and I was just about to email with a problem, but I fixed it myself. I must have got better at my job. I know that sounds like an excuse. It is....
I keep finding problems but managing to work them out myself! No excuse and I can't lie! LOL.
Ooh I like it! Genius!
I'm a scaredy cat too. There is something he could help me with...
Thank you for your help so far. I do not know much about his interests unfortunately. I am also not sure whether he has any interest. He has no reason to dislike me I think. Our interactions in the...
Whilst this made me actually laugh out loud at the idea of holding a stapler hostage, we don't work in the same building or town, so unless he's happy to send it me through the post in order for me...
Hi I know an INTP through work but we work in different buildings. He's helped me with system problems for years but he seems really interesting and I have a feeling we would get on well. (I don't...
Hello and thankyou all for your responses. Just to clarify I know he is ENTP because his former department did some work on MBTI. A good friend of mine worked on a project with him and that's what...
Hi, Gatecrashing from the INFP forum. i found out last week I have a new boss and I have met him a few times before and I didn't get a good vibe from him. He did not seem like a team player and...
a) True. b) Maybe but it's a huge generalisation that may do nothing to help someone testing as or self-identifying as INFP. c) Not true. It might be of some but introversion has little to do...
Throwing something, hitting something. When I was younger, hurting myself. The urge is still there but I can overcome that.
Are there any who have actually tested as or self-identified as INFP rather than just speculation?
I'm an intelligent person but I almost hate myself for what I'm about to write. Sometimes I feel that other people are stupid. They don't see the whole. I find myself at work making connections and I...
BlackWidow I don't see why you couldn't have your own business but I must admit, I don't have to deal with accounts as such or insurance, or anything like that. I work in the public sector and...
I love my job anmd I manage a small team in an arts setting. People say that INFPs don't want to manage but I love leading my team?????
I have previously written about two of my closest friends (they don't know each other) and the colleague I best get on with all being INFJ. Well my other close friend has just taken the official test...
OMG, I think that woman just noticed I absent-mindedly said thanks to a vending machine #infpproblems
I work closely with an INTJ and we make a good team I think. We have the same vision but opposite skills.
So we can conclude that other types think we are good listeners because we don't talk much, but when they are talking away at us about something, our minds are usually on other things anyway? ;-)
I know one that I know of but I find our conversation is stilted. There are things that make me cringe about her because they remind me of things I don't like about myself and I cringe too at the...
When I first found MBTI I found most type descriptions accurate about me in some respects, but not in others. It's not until I read up about cognitive functions did the whole thing make sense to me....
I'm INFP and I am an atheist.
For those who are completely SURE of their own type: 1) Were you always completely SURE of your type or did it take you awhile to arrive at it I first took some online tests and the 'type...
I'm not really. My mind wanders. I do try though. E.
It's about respect. If I respect what you're doing and you treat me with respect, then your authority is OK. But yeah, I've had issues with most authority figures in my life: parents, teachers,...
Hi, I was wondering about other people's interactions with other INFPs in real life. What happened? How did you know they were INFP? Did you just hit it off or both clam up? E.
Does anyone else sometimes feel anger or hurt so intensely it just needs to get out, somehow? Like, it almost feels like something physical that needs to exit the body? Like throwing or hitting...
Been there and it ruined five years of my life. I was always wanting more and he wasn't prepared to give it.
My best friend is INFJ, as is another one of my friends. Another good friend is ESFJ although I find too much of her wears me out, small doses are better. Another friend is ENTJ. Those are the ones I...
I keep reading on here that INFPs generally like hugs and are quite touchyfeely. I really don't like hugs, even off people I know well and I need my own personal space. Are there anymore of...
William Blake. Don't be deceived by its apparent simplicity.
Depression manifests itself differently in everyone. It's not a list of symptoms. I think INFPs may be more pre-disposed to suffer from depression than some other types. It's that introverted...
I despise such attitudes. I am not an INFP and I am not very INFP. I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving. I know what I am good at but I also know what I need to work at. Some things I...
I think the online tests may throw up your type but I wouldn't count on it. I've always tested INFP. The first time I came across MBTI was when I was 23, I read up a lot on the types and reading...
That's what I always think. How boring not to be like us ;-) Never, ever bored.
The arts, libraries, museums, design studios, all need managers. If you love what you manage and believe in what you are leading your team in, then INFPs can excel at it. I agree that managers in the...
Does anyone else think that the origins of 'emo' and the music may have developed originally from NFs, perhaps even INFPs? But then it just caught on as a 'fad' and people started behaving a...
Bago I really enjoyed your last post. It's a fascinating insight and beautifully written.
Hi, First of all, please don't let any report define all of who you are. There are so many problems with tests to categorise people (just look at all the mis-typed MBTI people around); sure, use...
Who wouldn't want to be one? How boring would it be? As long as you're not self-pitying and blame your 'type' for how you are without striving to be the best you can be, then I'd say INFP is the...
I was in a terrible relationship for a long time with an ENFP. Really knew how to push my buttons and enjoyed it.
and how awful would it be if we weren't? :-) !!!!
The internet suits the way my brain works. I can be watching something on the computer and it makes me think of something so I can quickly pause whatever I am watching and look something up on...
I think the qualities that are considered 'emo' or 'scene' lend themselves to INFPs in some respects, however because the 'scene' is considered 'cool' by some, I've often wondered if some of these...
I'm new to cognitive functions and I see myself very clearly in Fi and Ne. In my job I have had to consciously develop Te (without realising what I was doing because I didn't know about cognitive...
I think I like INFJs because they're similar to what I'm comfortable with about myself but they are different in ways I strive to be.
I love INFJs, well I mean the ones I know, as two of my closest friends type as INFJ and a new colleague who I hit it off straight away with also is. So here's a little wave *waves* I keep hearing...
Lol. He probably is. I catch myself reading too much into what people say and do all the time.
I completely agree with all of this. I've been called cold and snobby. The other INFP I know has been referred to as cold and 'stern' by other people I know. Although I didn't find her stern or cold...'
