'Become blind. Then I could still hear music and fall in love with a girl regardless of her looks. In relation to that: Be married in a relationship with only sexual attraction, or be married in a...
I've become interested in an INTJ girl lately, and I've been carefully considering whether an INTJ girl and an INFP guy could get along...or maybe even end up together. This poem, even though written...
Hi PC, I just read an interesting article, and I'd like to gather your input: Why Generation Y*is*unhappy It reminded me of a conclusion I drew a while ago: our generation collectively thinks...
There was a recent publication correlating income with personality type. The findings aren't very surprising, but they are very interesting. As an INFP male, I find the study disturbing because it...
While I also find it difficult to choose between these issues, one of the main differences is that of permanence. Most of these topics have an effective time span on the order of decades. These...
The Introversion/Extroversion measure is the most important dynamic I'm focusing on, actually. I agree with ibage on that. Mostly, I want introverts to have an opportunity to work on their own while...
Hi All, I'm a science teacher for middle school students, and I'm considering giving an MTBI test to my classes. This would allow me to more intelligently deal with each student, and it would also...
You make a poignant observation about yourself. Being an intuitive feeler, you'll be able to easily perceive other people's attributes. Depending on whether you want to believe that people are good...
Forever alone.
I picked hearing and touch. The world would be a travesty without music, the voices of loved ones, the wind in the trees, the sound of the ocean, summer crickets and tree frogs. Imagine not being...
Seems like a redundant solution. Thanks for the advice, though.
LOL yes I think this might qualify as a trait of a highly sensitive person. I also get very irritated by loud people. Loud footsteps, door operation, placing of items, loud speaking, loud sneezing...
Hello Fellow NFs, I've been charged with giving a 20 minute lecture to Elementary and Middle school students on Tuesday. The topic of my lecture: dreams. Not dreams as in the sort you experience...
Are you comparing yourself to silt? What are you sifting through, and toward what good stuff are you sifting? Is it that your core being is surrounded by silt which must carefully be excavated to...
Ineffable is one of my favorite words. It means something which cannot be uttered or spoken, something which cannot be described with language. I often feel this way about myself; often other people...
What do you think the Jungian/Meyers-Briggs correlation is between these types? I'm going to propose that the negotiator fits well with the INFP - and probably all NFs. There are four archetypes...
I like this idea. Somebody should come up with something clever.... Here are some terrible ideas I thought up: * (nobody wears these anymore, but why not?) If you own a watch, wear it on the...
We need more people tagging this map! I'm the only one in my state of any type, for pity's sake!
Sedentary. So much of life on earth is sedentary. Trees are rooted to the ground, grasses are helpless in the soil. Some life is only conveyed by the forces of nature - a tumbleweed by wind, algae by...
Wait...everyone doesn't dream in color?? I never heard that before!
I keep reading that INFPs are disorganized - but I find that I like a neat bookcase, an organized bedroom, folded clothes in my dresser. However, this doesn't diminish my strong distaste for routine,...
Hi Conscius, I studied computer science and have been employed as a systems and network administrator at three different companies over the past five years. I would like to share with you my...
That's amazing! There's a word for this!? I have at least four worlds I periodically visit in my dreams. I haven't been to any of them in a few months now, but when I do return, it's exactly as I...
Hello Hell. You have visited your wrath upon me earlier than was promised by the God of my childhood. It was promised I would taste your bitter punishment after the sting of death, but your...
I find that the same silly ideas keep coming to mind when I shower: I wish there was a way to easily smoosh the old slim bar of soap into the new thicker bar of soap so that I don't waste any. I feel...
I prefer to think that we are alive to live, and that life in itself is reason and purpose to live. Some things do not die, and I wouldn't like to think that they have failed their purpose in life by...
I absolutely LOVE the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It is my favorite series of books ever written (all five of them). I own the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, which is a compendium of all of the...
I always sorta suspected I was annoying ... but I'm not quite sure in what ways. Perhaps you could elucidate the facets of our persona that perturb the common perception of us? Perhaps we can arm...
'Cause she's hot and doesn't want the attention. True story.
Among the four functions in your personality type, which is your favorite? I - Introversion N - Intuition F - Feeling P - Perceiving Further, what made you choose your favorite function?
It's hard to remember exactly what I was like when I was a kid; I keep filtering my view of who I was through what I've been told I was like from my parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, and...
My method for determining someone's type is to go through each of the functions, and attempt to identify their preference from what I know of them. It's not foolproof, but I get fairly close to the...
Has anyone noticed how the standard way to not be an INFP has been to act like a total shallow jack ass? Aren't INFPs supposed to be good at empathizing and seeing things through other people's eyes?...
Piano. Not a keyboard, though. The piano has a soul, has a character that makes playing anything else seem dead and synthetic. I love the piano, especially really old ones. I own a 105 year old...
I'm 27 and I'm still a virgin. This is by choice: I'm waiting for the one I'll marry. I guess I'm the oldest v-club member!
I always loved science. It may have been due to my scientific grandfather; he was my role model for much of my young life. I loved physics, biology, geology, but generally didn't like math very much....
You're not the only one. De ja vu is experienced by lots of people, including myself. I myself experience de ja vu with a greater intensity than many people, and I'm assuming you feel it more...
I definitely do weird things for fun... - I like to stage conversations with my friends while walking down a sidewalk such that when someone passes us in the opposite direction, all they hear is a...
My avatar is from a Public Symphony album cover art. I chose it because I liked the solitary figure standing in the middle of nowhere, dressed in a suit, planted firmly on the tarmac as if with...
With any art, you need a lot of motivation to get over a stagnation in your talent. It's a huge hill to climb, but if you can make it, then you will succeed. Most people don't try to overcome their...
I do believe in magic
Thanks for making such a nice collage! It must have taken some time to do. I particularly like the some of the most wonderful people are the ones that don't fit in boxes image. Take me as I am...
I used to cry very easily when I was younger. I remember burying my face in my arms, face down on the desk, my nose in the crux of my elbow, forming a puddle of tears on the desktop as I despaired...
I think the crickets have it easier because at least they can easily identify each other by song and make happy relationships. Maybe we should do that...a secret INFP language that underlies normal...
I definitely need my S.O. to get me. I'm a very strong N and a fairly clear F. I feel like that she should at least be that one person in the world who identifies with me, who understands.
This isn't from a TV show ... but it is a great movie: YouTube - one..two..three..four..
In this thread, post one or more of your favorite moments from your favorite television shows! From the IT Crowd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAPOEHMrL5U
I've lost count of the number of rejections I've had with that line being the explanation. Not only has it not gotten easier, it gets harder to take every time. Sometimes I wish that the girl would...
Hello INFPs, It's been a while since last I spoke with you, but a recent self introspection has led me to poll you for your experience and input. All personality tests I have taken have...'
