'This is definitely true for me, but my INTJ father and INFP mother are very different in that regard. My dad gets annoyed when I provide extra information, and my mom likes to wait until about 30 ft...

The tertiary function, also called the relief role and the Puer, is sometimes described as being fundamentally amoral. Note I did not type immoral; we don't use it maliciously, we just are not bound...

My INFJ best friend is not very competitive at all, but two highest suspected INFJ I used to know are. In my almost girlfriend from almost 6 years ago this was most apparent when playing games like...

My mom often eats right before bed, on doctor's orders. She is diabetic and cannot allow her blood sugar to be even a little go at bed time as it increases the risk that it could go dangerously low...

I'm neither an INFP nor a lady, but I just thought I'd bring up that the word man is a cognate with the word mind. Etymologically speaking, a man is simply an intelligent being. The term can...

Feelers don't necessarily experience more emotions, but they are certainly more likely to act on them. It may also be worth noting that it has been shown in several studies that expressing emotions...

My INFJ best friend has an ENTP dad, whom she claims is a lot like Michael Scott from The Office. She couldn't remember her mother's type, but from her descriptions I'd guess maybe an ESFJ. There is...

My father is an INTJ and a very serious and traditional evangelical christian. He was raised in a moderate Methodist household and was for the first half of his life didn't take religion so seriously...

INTJs tend not to define terms clearly or precisely enough for us. They can easily use multiple senses of a word without seeming to notice that they are speaking of disparate topics and have not yet...

In general, intuitive preferences are correlated with social liberalism and sensing (especially Si) preferences with more social authoritarianism. There is also a somewhat looser correlation between...

A 4w5 is probably more like the actual monster from the book Frankenstein. Quite unlike the creature from the movies, this entity was an extremely intellectual, idealistic, rational, and articulate...

My father is an INTJ, my mother an INFP, and I am an INTP. I think my sister is probably an ISFJ, although some psychiatric conditions and medications may make it hard to tell for sure. I...

I'm an INTP whose idiosyncratic political views generally align best with Geo-Libertarianism.

14 Sanguine, 50 Melancholy, 0 Choleric, 71 Phlegmatic Who is she to tell me that my parents were opposites? My entire family is made of phlegmatics. My mom does have a bit more sanguine and...

The 10 Commandments were specifically addressed to Israel. There is no reason to think they ever really applied to Gentiles. Judaism has long taught that that the rest of us are only bound by the 7...

I've never liked coffee, and have never tried alcohol. I didn't get them often, but if I really needed caffeine when I was in college I'd get a Thai Iced Tea at this on campus Asian fusion restaurant.

It is complete BS. If we were to compare the indigo traits to MBTI types though, then it would fit all the intuitive types except the NTJs.

I'm a Fire Hare. I used to think I was an Earth Dragon, but it turns out that the Lunar New Year came rather late in 1988.

I don't feel like taking the test again. Last 3 times I got 60 wpm with 1 error, 59 wpm with 0 errors, and then 60wpm with no errors. This was typing with 3 fingers.

What comes to mind was a conversation with a good friend of mine (actually my first love, who is now more like family) last year where she was arguing for Anarcho-Capitalism and I for...

You is the second person plural. Thou is singular. You took over as a more respectful way of addressing a single individual due to influence from French, where vous is both plural and honorific...

Etymologically speaking, nice ought to mean ignorant. It is derived from the Latin nescius after all. There are plenty of ignorant individuals of every genders.

I prefer to use Momma and Daddy for direct address, Mom and Dad when speaking in the third person to those who know them, and mother and father when speaking to total strangers. My father's...

Probably Latin or Portuguese. I knew a couple of French girls whose accents sounded very sexy when speaking English, but the French language itself is not at all attractive.

Looking letter by letter is the wrong way to do things. You should be looking function my function. The letters just indicate the order of preference of the Jungian Cognitive Processes. The I or...

Nothing that you've said completely rules out the possibility that you are an INTP, but much of it makes INFJ sound more likely.

I remember that in what I guess was first or second grade I was convinced that the two pronunciations of the were different words. I knew how to spell its more stressed pronunciation but could not...

My confirmed INFJ friend is a self described anarcho-capitalist who was a major supporter of Ron Paul, and Rand Paul. She tends to vote Libertarian, although she does have issues with many of its...

I have a facebook account which I keep open in the background all the time and check frequently, but only very rarely actually do anything on it. My (INFP) mother has made a point that she doesn't...

People who use the word totes in reference to something other than a product made by the same company as my umbrella.

It is a well known fact that fear and sexual arousal elicit responses from the same parts of the brain, and that it is not uncommon to mistake one for the other. Maybe death being so pretty is why...

I typically end up giving most of not all of the cash I have on my person at the time. I typically prefer not to carry cash because it doesn't stay with me as long. The last time I gave cash I ended...

Some say that black is the absence of color (light) while others say it is the presence of color (pigment). I say it is a paucity of perception. I'd still probably chose it as my favorite color...

I think the most reasonable interpretation of the 2nd amendment is that it should prohibit the federal government from having the authority to regulate firearms at all, but not place any such...

I prefer introverts. Several introverts I know are still to extroverted for my tastes. INFJs are my favorite. My first love is the only confirmed INFJ I know in real life. I'd consider her...

1. myself 2. chipmunk 3. none 4. immense 5. Yes (a stone wall actually, with an ornate portcullis) 6. dust 7. a human skull 8. ignore 9. lake 10. I won't

Not really. Ne is the most doubt-ridden function. It does not give an intuitive understanding of one right thing to do in social situations like Ni might, but rather gives a lot of possible ideas...

Grammar is very important. Spelling and punctuation don't often matter, as they are mere orthographical conventions rather than meaningful semantic relationships. Unfortunately synthetic languages...

He was certainly not an extrovert. INTP is definitely the most likely type for him. Also, Lincoln was not that great. He is one of our more overrated presidents. (I'm more of a Lysander Spooner...

Running in families and communities would make to so that racism is the sort of social norm that those with strong Si (SJs) tend to follow the most. Strong users of Ne (NPs) would tend to be more...

You cannot generalize NT Rationals like that. Unlike SP Artisans and SJ Guardians, the our temperament does not have a single cognitive function in common between all of its members. NTPs are much...

This reminds me of a certain (atheist) guy I used to know who liked to respond to sneezes with May the Lord have mercy upon your soul. Also, if anyone said Oh my God (or something similar)...

Te is probably considered the most stereotypically masculine function, and Fe the most feminine. Ti is also pretty masculine and Fi feminine, but is less emphasized perhaps due to the preponderance...

I really hate velvet, but don't mind silk.

ENFJ may be good for some INTPs, but true extroversion is too much for me. Moderate introverts are still extroverted from my perspective. I remember that in my Psych 1101 class it was said that...

I think I started shaving between 5th and 6th grades, although it was only my upper lip once a week or two at the time. My legs got hairy earlier than almost anyone in my class. Others caught up and...

The only confirmed INFJ I know in real life accepted a marriage proposal from an ENTP last month. I think she likes the type well enough.

No. Almost 80% of females are feelers, but barely 60% of males are thinkers.

Death does not usually effect me much. The main thing I tend to feel is guilty for my lack of emotion. When I was at the death and later funeral of my closest cousin the only thing I really felt...

I'm no fan of Lady Gaga and do not consider her stage persona to be an INFJ, but I have seen some youtube clips of her before she got famous, when she was actually a good musician, in which INFJ...'
