'I have an INFP and ISTJ friend who get along well as acquaintances, but I'm not sure how well they'd get along as true friends. Both personality types share the same cognitive functions, just in...
Traditions and social rules can be outright harmful when not questioned. People should have free will to follow or not follow traditions as they see fit. People are often socially ostracized for not...
I used to drink when I was younger, and I was very much a light weight. I don't like being buzzed, because it makes me acutely aware of my mind being fuzzy. However, all that goes away when I become...
I'd save the child because materialistic cultural objects have no meaning to me. I don't care about old paintings, old buildings, ancient artifacts, etc. They're cool, but people put too much meaning...
There is no question here but I will interject my thoughts. Yes, INTJs can and will go on forever discussing philosophical and theoretical topics. These are the only things I want to talk about, and...
I try to have as few interactions with them as possible. I have been known to seek secret revenge though. The way I usually go about doing this, is a figure out what annoys that person the most, and...
I work in retail as a manager, and believe me, it is a strange place for an INTJ. Most of the other managers I work with are ESFJs and ESTJs. They are all accepting of me, but think I'm a weirdo. ...
Every personality trait has its own evolutionary advantages and disadvantages. For example: introversion vs. extroversion. Introverts are more cautious and don't put themselves out in the environment...
I haven't noticed a correlation between thinker woman hanging out with men more often. I don't really have much friends, but I would say I get along with men and women equally, albeit I don't really...
If it's one thing I've learned in life, is that cookie cutter solutions and black and white thinking doesn't work. Sure, the answer you supplied is the most rational, but it still doesn't make the...
From my experience, I have always been the more dominant one in all my relationships, however, when I was with my INFP boyfriend, he did not like this. He never said that, but I could tell. He pushed...
I don't think anyone agrees with cheating or thinks it's a good thing. However, I don't view it as black and white. Depending on the situation, there are worse moral crimes you could commit. For...
I'm not an INFP but I've always been a huge personifier. Even as an adult, I am always doing it with object at work. When I worked at a grocery store in my early 20's, I used to straighten the...
No, I would never attack a person's character, even when I am angry. I have done so when I was younger, and felt terrible. Lesson learned. There's just some things you can't take back once you've...
I dated an ESFP for a couple months and am still friends with him. He was really smart and great to talk to on an intellectual level. He also was a lot of fun. He was an open book and I trusted him...
Yeah I guess I never thought about how I come across to people when they're talking, in reference to whether I'm interested or not. I don't really give any verbal or facial ques because I am in deep...
A lot of good information. I can tell sometimes when an INFP is not interested in the conversation, but most the time, they can be quite neutral with their body language and expression. I think I...
There are a couple things at play here: 1. INFPs tend to not stick to strict regiments, including sleep patterns. It's not uncommon for them to stay up to late and be very tired the next day,...
I'm glad this post was made. I can never tell if an INFP is listening to be polite, or if they are truly interested. I feel bad when conversing with them, because I usually have so much to say, but...
To be fair, the INFPs process of approaching tasks drives me(INTJ) up the wall also. I really like when they come up with innovated ideas, because I find them amusing and ingenious at the same time,...
I really liked the article, especially this quote: For a hardcore Thinker, itx92s incredibly disconcerting for the INTJ to realize they are wired to be sensitive without the benefit of commensurate...
Haha yes I have noticed texting between INTJ and INFP is a very bad idea as a communication form. It's hard enough for us to communicate properly in person. And you're right, INFPs do not like to...
I am usually a socially unattached person, but when it comes to relationships, I'm all in or not at all. If a guy is into casual dating, I'm not for him. I think a lot of INTJs are like this because...
-INTJ- ESFJ: My first boyfriend. He had major mental issues and was very manipulative. I was too young to realize it at the time. We fought constantly. I broke up with him a million times; he...
I got the advocate; it was somewhat accurate, but not quite me. The test was very much like most MBTI tests I've seen. You could easily tell which questions were directed at which functions. Thanks...
I was in a relationship with an INFP and after while, he somehow brought out a clingy/cuddly side of me that I didn't even know I had. Then he decide he didn't like that side of me, and needed his...
INTJ females have been known to be androgynous. We don't really fit in well with the women or men.
I've always been happiest when I'm single, so there has to be an intense connection in order for me to convince myself to enter into a relationship.
I also like INFJs; they are in fact evil though, that's why I like them ;)
Yes, there's most definitely a correlation between hating sports and being an IN. I have always hated sports and am an INTJ. Of all the INs I know, none of them like sports either. This includes: 3...
I have gone into this loop many times, usually after a tough break-up. During these times I reside solely in my head. I over analyze everything and everyone. I become distrustful of people and their...
I've always been the mom of the group. I've also always been the one in charge of planning and saying what activities we do. I always seem to hang out with more passive people, which puts me in the...
Here are the differences I've noticed in my ISFP and INFP friends; these are specific to these individuals: INFP is more shy and quiet. ISFP comes across as an extrovert in a lot of public...
That's a good point to make as well. Most INFPs are very interested in intellectual pursuit, so I don't know where people got the stereotype to the contrary. Yes they can be irrational, but they KNOW...
After reading the lists people have come up with on this topic, I'd say the only thing that is a consistently inaccurate stereotype is that INFPs are innocent/overly nice punching bags. All the other...
My sister who is two years older than me is an INTP. We are best friends but we debate and bicker constantly. When people hear us talking, they assume we hate each other or are fighting, but really...
When someone is in an unhealthy state, they don't act like their usual personality type. When I was younger, I got stuck in the grips of Se for about 4 years. A number of different things caused...
I would imagine this is common since INFPs are often seen as innocent and naive. I've felt this way about every INFP I've ever met. I have this need to help them because I get the feeling they can't...
I would love to meditate but I haven't been able to thus far. I've done a lot of research and have tried it, but it's always a failure. I just end up having racing thoughts and feelings of...
I don't consider ESFPs to be our opposite considering we use the exact same functions, albeit in opposite order. Because of this, I find I can get along with an ESFP very well. No misconceptions,...
Same here, I work in retail and do a lot of heavy lifting. I am the fastest person on my team. This isn't a quote I live by, but it's what I tell myself in my head whenever I need to work fast and...
Same. I never felt loneliness until I bonded with someone on a deeper level, and that relationship ended. It took me about the same amount of time to get over it. This was ten years ago though, and I...
I find myself initially attracted to T types, but also attracted to F types after getting to know them better. I have to be persuaded into dating feelers. I've only actually dated one thinker type,...
I'm mostly an impatient person, unless I have a close relationship with you. I'm very dismissive to strangers, and try to end conversation with them if it arises. I will tell lies in order to end...
I've always been obsessed with science in one form or another, but mostly theoretical science. I don't enjoy so much learning about concrete things, like the laws of physics. I enjoy learning about...
I think any introverted function can be slow. The slowest people I know are definitely INFPs and INTPs. Their leisureliness knows no bounds. Agreed on the ESXP thing. I once dated an ESFP who got...
Ugh, INFPs are the WORST in this regard. They use some kind of voodoo magic to make you become vulnerable. I always end up showing INFPs my emotional side and oversharing. I've just come to accept it...
LOL, that's exactly what my boyfriend does. He tells me HIS meaning of the song and I tell him how that's all wrong, and this is what the true meaning of it is. He thinks it doesn't matter because...
My ENTJ roommate handles rejection by spinning it to look like he wasn't rejected. For example, if a girl he really likes told him she's not interested. He would say, yeah me either, I was at first,...
So perhaps the INFP is so focused on feeling the song, that factual information does not store in their memories. Whereas an INTJ, the opposite might happen. They may be focused on the details. I...'
