'I think ISTJ and ISFJ can look very much the same, one difference is that an ISFJ is quite sensible when coming to criticism or emotions, plus, an ISFJ might be more interested in beauty than an...

Ah.. I finally found the disorder which characterises my interior life, yet I see all these problems through the rational point of view. I somehow managed to close my emotion linking to this problem,...

I've gone through many moments of this kind. Sometimes is depression,sometimes is lack of interest, or mostly to much phlegmatic mood in my personality. Curiously they usually get solved by...

Reading all the profiles may be the only way you will know for sure. Still, it's very important to know if you are an extroverted person or not, if social activities drains your energy or not. As an...

should it? positivism is a very delicate thing for introverted people (for extroverted people positive thinking is their engine) and then there is T and F, life is seen through different eyes, the...

I usually get depressed when I have to act with an extroverted attitude towards life. Then, there is the problem that I simply can't love myself, I rarely get motivated by my own needs, and my...

Odd... never thought feelers have problems expressing their feelings. Then again maybe thinkers have problems expressing their thoughts :))

I don't know if this topic has been raised, but I'm quite curious of the answers. What motivates an INFJ to do something.

At some moment you will have to accept that you are now going on different path from her and the link with her should be redefined. The Fe function is quite consuming now, so it needs another place...

So does God answer our questions? Or he will stay silent this time. Hmm... maybe Personality Cafe is forbidden because it is evil.

I think is more of a T and F thing and being I or E. I'm very careful with my cash flow. I hate borrowing money, I always make sure that I have sufficient money for my monthly expenses. I think it...

I sometimes doubt my INTP nature, because I don't get annoyed by grammar and expression mistakes. I find them quite puzzling and funny. For me, the sum of personality traits are more important than a...

Each 8 sub function belong to each 4 function, there is nothing wrong with that. What links Te and Ti are the fact that they are both thinking function. Yet one needs the exterior to apply it's...

I was religious till heaven didn't seem such fascinating place, so I lost interest, I believe in some kind of destiny, some sort of equilibrium between good and bad, and I think angels and miracles...

It's just like Leonardo da Vinci who was a scientist, an artist, a writer and so on ... I think it's just a matter of time, as we grow up we tend to control our focus, and with substantial research...

- the keeper, consumer of knowledge :)) - the destroyer and rebuilder of systems - the prisoner of his own mind - the dreamer of thoughts, ideas

I think being a thinker makes you less stressed than the feeler (especially Fe), yet the need for perfection and when things are not going to plan are a big stress factor.

There is a very good description of the INTP ( An INTP Profile ) The difference is that an INTP has little leadership in him, unlike an INTJ who has his auxiliary function Te. He spends a lot of...

I like the description of an INTP at this page An INTP Profile

I have some questions too: - How come there are more feelers who believe in such a religion than thinkers. Isn't believing in something spiritual mainly due to the personality type? So God is opened...

I think Jung said that to much introversion leads to anxiety, and reading is mostly a introverted process. As an introverted person you have the tendency absorb everything inside you, to overuse your...

For me Ni is like a trance, its' when you solve problems while dreaming of future possibilities. It's sometimes the spiritual nature of man. Ni is like a continous long flow of future events, unlike...

I think have similar moments when I use my Ti to explain a concept. First it would go on on a idea from a simple perspective, then after it begins to make sense, it will be judged from a new...

This thread is quite fascinating, a quite strong debate between the way Jung theories are seen by an extroverted and introverted person, which are, of course seen from different point of perspective,...

The differences between Fe and Te are quite obvious, they work with different instruments. I think Fe is a very special function, it's very empathic, you know what others need, you have the power to...

Then it's just a matter of knowing if you are more of a feeler than a thinker. Yet I wouldn't bother with this very much, being balanced may be virtue, knowing when to see things objectively might...

I would add one more test, what to you want to change most in the world - ideas - Ne, feelings - Fe, or the way things works - Te?, what do you like to be an artist, a helper, or a scientist?

A career which involves destroying a system and rebuilding it in a new way. ...is this a job for a scientist?, philosopher? I don't know. :P

They are both introverts, they are both intuitive and thinkers, so it's easy to make a confusion from their actions. Yet their interior lives are different, INTP lives most of the time in their mind...

An interesting and depressing Si. Yet I know I have it. It's more of the phlegmatic temperament definition.

I find it as giving a very clear separation between extroverts and introverts, and yes, it looks like the opinion of an INFJ, but I like it as is not so confusing. The classical definitions of Te and...

This somehow shows to me that beside having a dominant Ti, I have used my Ni a lot of the times, especially in my religious and creative period.

I think is a common attitude for most introverts. Giving space to people is trying not to approach the external object through a direct action. Extrovert people will rarely have this guilt of...

Well. I really meant the people for whom the Zodiac was created, is more for the superstitious SF and NF types. For me Zodiac doesn't have any logic only lucky coincidence.

I played chess a lot when I was young and I got very good at it. Yet I will always prefer basketball to it, because chess is not very practical. I can't see the usefulness of chess, it says it...

Maybe socionics was made by a very intuitive S type :)). Yet, I agree with Ostentatious you can find arguments in everything even in zodiac. I think the advantage of socionics is it's different...

I think cold is mostly associated with lack of empathy, this is mainly due to religion, films, and stories (maybe INFJ and INTP authors), where evil is seen as cold. INFP will have a deeper...

Thanks, I needed this explanation :)

I have problems with my eyes when my mind gives false interpretation of what I see in front of me. When you think you know everything just from one glance but you don't. When the exterior world...

wolves, dog, marten, stoat, weasel, horse, killer whale, sharks, and the unreal dragons

I have always associated my walking with my pulse, i' ll walk at the pace that my thinking and feeling is doing. You're saying that when you're walking you can not stop and be absorbed by the...

It' curious I did a lot of mirroring in my youth, and sometimes reading and watching TV will activate this function. It's has something to do with Fe combined with the intuitive function, resulting...

:) There are not to many data to solve this problem. I think that ISTP will be very active in the physical world, so search his Se function, if he will rather go to ski, or basket, than watching TV,...

You know you're an INTJ when you love your mind for what it's capable of :).

Now how did the thinkers personality become a such a dreamers personality :)). I can relate with all your wishes and fantasies, yet i needed to control my feelings in a cold manner way as not to ...

I think that INFJ are very strong characters, capable of enduring much stress through their lives. NF will always relate to strong misunderstandings from the surrounding world. But it's a matter of...

So if he hadn't his primary function Fe, why name him an INFJ ? Confidence - Fi Strong moral values - Fi Unaffected by other opinions - Fi Anger - Fi Love of social power - Fi Overprotective...

:)) it' s curious how Hitler's personality is so debated. It should become a book. I think that being an INFJ sometimes means seeing other's feelings from different perspectives. Hitler had a very...

What you should try is to do is cultivate your shadow Fi, isolate from all the external influences (Fe is a big absorber), and find out what are you're personal values. All my life i didn't know why...

What about Dexter from TV series Dexter, when he plans his crimes?'
