'Yes, thank you for you concern. I think she would be too much for almost anyone to handle, with her intense emotions and mood swings. I don't know why it seems so easy for me to deal with, I guess...
Yes, I figured there was a rather high chance she was borderline from the outset. I have my fair share of experience with the disorder, as my mother is borderline. I'm sort of accustomed to things...
She's tried to push me away again, too. She started by asking if I know and feel that I am very attractive, and that she's afraid I'll cheat on her because of it. I would never do such a thing, but...
I don't think I'll decide this relationship isn't for me. Once I am committed, that's it — I never give up. If anything ends it, it'll be circumstance outside of my control. I think she said she...
I've recently started a new relationship with an INFP woman, Enneagram Four (with a Five wing, if I remember correctly). We met on a dating site. She had messaged me, curiously asking me what my MBTI...
I am most certain I don't possess Introverted Feeling. I have quite a few INFP friends, and they have a much different way of understanding things. They also all seem to cultivate a personal...
I think quite often I get upset with people who go against my values, or have crossed a line with me and refused to apologize. If I think someone is scummy, I'm probably going to actively dislike and...
I don't always seem to think in terms of words, so this isn't always happening. A lot of the time I just think in ideas, I don't know quite else how to put it. My mind isn't particularly visual,...
Don't dither; it'll only cause anxiety and inaction will lead to regrets. Talk to her and see if it has potential to go anywhere. If things don't seem to be moving in that direction, move on and...
I goofed around too much. I was an inveterate joker and was prone to misbehaving during class. I got suspended a lot. Outside of school I'd just fool around with friends, play video games, or sort of...
It may be sort of strange for you that you feel this way for your extended cousin, but no, there's nothing abnormal about this. Were you implying this girl is, in your estimation, also an INTP? I...
I think these sorts of questions are really kind of harmful and lead to narrow ways of thinking about things. Even though you may consider the various facets of such a measurement, the very question...
INTPs are probably the least intimidating type there is. I really can't imagine an INTP being in any way frightening. Personally, I'm told I have a very soft look to me. I think most of the time I...
I'd like to address a misconception. From everything I have observed, the Feeling function is not in and of itself emotion. An emotion seems to be a more base-level response, whereas the Feeling...
Yes, you're welcome. It's perfectly fine to think things through, how things may work, and come up with a hypothesis. But you will find that, more often than not, the reality has quite a few...
Rather than having someone make a logical argument, I really think it would be better for you to gain some more real-world experience and view things with your own eyes. Deriving hypotheses from some...
Curious. I always hear this, but I actually have an aversion to strong Fe. I had to learn this through experience, but I don't seem to get along with Fe users that well. I seem to get along with Fi...
I'll be honest and say, yes, I do talk about myself a lot. I don't do this in professional settings, but I've been told I talk about myself too much. Another INTP I know seems to do something similar.
NFs will find all sorts of ideas interesting, certainly, but being able to talk with them about ideas in the capacity I wish to, I only find with NTs. And, honestly, it seems like I find only...
I'm an anomaly, so I don't believe my personal preferences. But I think INTPs would be best off with NTJs. My romantic and professional relationships with NTJs have been by far the best, as well. ...
My feelings matter a lot to me. I don't like to bottle them up. If I feel really upset by something, I'll go ahead and break down and cry in front of people. I don't really care. And I will act like...
Nietzsche was unequivocally INTJ, and while I am often quite fond of other INTJs, I don't think much of him.
You make some good points. You do have to reflect a lot on yourself, your feelings, and your beliefs. But it's a little more complex than this. And it takes more than just reflection to know...
INTPs in general are prone to the aforementioned dereistic thought patterns unique to the type. But INTPs also have an ability to bring precision to ideas in ways other types cannot, if they manage...
When I speak of ENTJs being rare, I don't mean test results. I mean, in the real world, I very seldom encounter ENTJs. I haven't encountered any actual ENTJs in the typology community, myself, and...
I find it interesting that a lot of INTPs here say they have ENTJ friends. Despite many of the statistics I have seen, I am quite certain ENTJs are the rarest type, easily twice as rare as INFJs, and...
I had spent some time on the site after someone talked me into trying it out. Although none of the women I had spoken to were real romantic candidates, I enjoyed the attention I had gotten from the...
I would say INTPs often times have peculiar perspectives because their conception of a thing is more often than not divorced from reality, and quite often just not properly understood. In my...
The last time I felt the urge to shake things up with a guinea pig, I was banned from the pet store. They always squeal on me. On the other hand, I like u200bto make them squeal.
Nobody wants to be INFP? Really?
My PerC crush is alienambassador. At first I hated them because they were an NTP except with the popularity I never had. Then for a while I thought I wanted to be them, but eventually realized I want...
Feeling is opposed to Thinking according to the theory, yes. The point of my hypothesis was that I was doubting the theory and wondering if the Ji functions weren't the same and the difference...
Does that mean your tone is deadpan the rest of the time, then? Overall, this sounds more like an INTP, but honestly there are a few things to consider: An INFP may not always be experiencing strong...
You may not be using any singular function in a debate; it's a skill you've developed. If you really do use Ti heavily, you may really be an INTP who's just very emotional. Fi is different from...
You're entitled to your skepticism (and in fact I encourage skepticism), but I think you may have second thoughts about that notion once you've interacted with more INxPs. Take one borderline T/F...
I quite like INFJs in general, but I find Daenerys to be one of the most revolting characters ever depicted in media. She was stranded out in the desert and would have consigned by fate to death were...
I try not to sound quite so 'clinical' when dealing with more sensitive topics, but I think I still sometimes come across that way regardless. I would say that it's not really Ti you're using...
The best way not to be socially awkward is social interaction; nothing beats experience. I'm able to jump in and socialize with Extraverts just fine. I made a few friends just leaping into an...
Introverted Thinking and Introverted Feeling are both Introverted Judging processes, yeah. While Jungian theory states that Thinking and Feeling are diametrically opposed, I wanted to entertain...
I don't think I'm superior to other people and really just find that sort of mentality wrong to begin with, both ethically and because I think it's silly to use others as a benchmark for what's...
This thread is remarkably depressing. It's things like these that make me consider changing my listed type to INFP or something to distance myself from this sort of mentality even though I'm pretty...
Whenever I want to know if someone is interested in me, I ask. Or just shameless flirt. What's the downside of asking? Facing rejection?
Do any ENFPS (or other types reading this thread) want to do a Skype voice chat with a few PerC members sometime? I've had some fun conversations with ENTs and we've been looking to get some more...
I have a friend who gets really exasperated are the incompetence of people sometimes. He vents to me all the time, and as bad as I feel being really harsh on people, it's done privately and I think...
It's exciting to see they have discovered so many charge parity violations recently. I believe this is the third since the LHC went operational, and I think the first and only charge parity violation...
This is an online self-report survey, and as such the results should be taken with a grain of salt. Individuals with Axis II disorders tend not to have much insight into their conditions. It's...
It depends on what you mean by unmotivated. They seem to be motivated to understand things, but not especially motivated to complete tasks or accomplish external goals. They have some desire to earn...
It must have been doubly painful to have both your partner and your friend betray you like that. It helps me just to know I'm not alone in this.
I've had this friend for a couple years now. I've always cared about them, but we've had a lot of falling outs. For a while it was my idealism that caused a lot of the difficulty. They had certain...
I don't know, I typically find many Ne connections to be rather banal, myself. Some of them link things together in new ways and provide novel insights or give us clearer pictures by looking at...'
