'I am married to an ISTJ. We get on really well. While we are both rather introverted, he is more socially adept than me--which is helpful. I am so thankful because he is really good with the finances...
Yes, I relate to this a lot! I go to counseling, and sometimes I'll think, Man I talked way too much in there!--when of course, it's counseling! I'm paying the guy to sit and talk about my personal...
I loved this movie! It really had a great message that you need to be able to express your feelings. It's ok to feel sad, angry...I think so often it is easy to judge the emotions we're having....
Some of my favorite people to hang out with are ENFP's so I'm a little lost about what you're asking...I love academic topics! And I couldn't care less if someone doesn't align to a group's agenda....
I am terrible at decisions. I also don't really do structure in my life. There is definitely a flow and rhythm to my every day activities--like I'm not completely random and spontaneous--but if I try...
I really relate to this. I also hate to wait around while learning to do something. I just want to do it and learn as I go. I'm a very hands-on learner, but also love to read--like crazy. I have an...
You sound a lot like me :) I think sometimes, introversion and Fi can really come off like N, so it can be confusing for some people. And if you are a 9w1, they can seem dreamy and kind of...
My best and also favorite: Literature, art, music, mythology, psychology, geography, biology, geology, language (I did Spanish and German) my worst: math of all kinds :/, chemistry, astronomy (too...
I get it, as I thought I was an NF type for a long time, even coming out INFJ on the official MBTI. I think with some ISFP's, at least with me, I feel kind of daydreamy and ethereal but at the same...
I was crazy into my diary as a teen--it was a place to let out my teen angst...I have a little notebook now that I will occasionally write my ideas and thoughts in, but that occurs only once in a...
Wow, this is such a complicated question for me...I grew up in a conservative evangelical environment--my family, schooling...all conservative evangelical. Thankfully, my parents weren't very strict...
How do you view and handle theory? If it is something I'm interested in, then I handle it well. If something gets too mathematical or technical, then I'm sunk. How does your Fi work in contrast...
I love Miyazaki/Ghibli films, Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride, Star Wars, period dramas (Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre etc), Harry Potter, Disney/Pixar films, Prince of Egypt...there are probably...
I'm not sure if I act like another type, but if I get really stressed--and I mean, like pushed to the edge of my patience (usually by my 3 yr old daughter), I get really Te-ish(?) in a bad way. Like,...
I'm lazy...but then I'm not. It depends on whether it's something I want to do or not in that moment. :D
Just to add, in case this is helpful...I find I'm more minimalistic in some areas than others. For example, in the kitchen, I like everything super pared-down and stream-lined. Don't like a lot of...
I was very attracted to minimalism in college. I never went full on minimalist, but lived simply. It made me too preoccupied with my possessions though--it was never less enough. Married with a...
My motivation to engage: being a mom and staying strong for my family and investing in those relationships, sharing/performing music, working with animals/being outside Not sure what evaluate info...
I am a 9w1. 946 is my tritype. Subtype is sx/so
@BlueMajorelle , I relate a lot to what you said, right down to loving lab way more than the lecture part...though I was not a bio major. Of the group I would always end up being the one to cut up...
I also thought I was an INFP or INFJ (which is what I got on the official MBTI--with a super close S/N score)...but something just felt off especially after I did a little more reading. N started...
ferroequinologist Funny, just yesterday I was just thinking about the song Imagine and how much I dislike it! I don't know what it is, but the whole thing kinda creeps me out...the tune, the...
I am definitely more of an informing communicator. Like, it's really bad...lol! Anyway, I am sure there would be ISFP's who would relate more to the directing style. I could see it being a nurture...
I used to equate my quiet artsiness as N, and thus was pretty sure I was an intuitive. Plus, I can appear dreamy and I am interested in deep, abstract topics to a point, as long as there is a...
I usually come out as an INFJ on the test--both online and official MBTI. I also thought I was an INFP and an ISFJ. ISFP feels the most right after thinking about it more. People who know me well irl...
Thanks for your responses, Mikhail and Angelcat. That passage on Fe and Fi was really informative! Going by this description, I'm Fi. I have always felt, even when I was quite young that I'm way...
Oh yes, I see what you're saying. I am definitely the Behind the Scenes style of communicator, which is ISFJ too, I think. I think INFJ is Chart the Course, which is not me at all! Fi always...
I don't mind your questions! They help me clarify some things, too. I guess an example of what I mean by bad at improvising is in music or when speaking in front of someone. I have to have a plan,...
Just something to add...I think the main reason I question my type is because while I'm usually go-with-the-flow and laid back, I like to have a plan and know what is coming. I'm never very late to...
Just something I've been wondering...is it possible for an INFP to be a little out of practice with their Ne and feel more comfortable going to Si? Or, just develop their Si more, to the point of...
SCENARIO 1 FOCUS ON YOUR FEELING PROCESS HERE Your significant other just ended your 2 year relationship quite suddenly and with no apparent explanation. Up until this point you had both been...
Ok, coming back after a long break from MBTI...still having trouble pinpointing what I am! Took the MBTI official with a practitioner and came out INFJ. Was almost 50/50 in my N and S score. I...
I know this thread is kind of quiet right now, but I just found it and it was interesting! I agree about the myths of tradition. From SJ descriptions traditional comes to mean conservative, or...
Hi, I'm not 100% sure of my type yet, but I'm leaning toward ISFJ. I got INFP on the online test when I was in high school, but once I entered college a few years later, I always got ISFJ and...
INFPs are often described as having a cause that they devote their life to. I've never really seen this in myself. I have always been passionate about things and tend to be holistic in my view of...
I enjoy the way I am for the most part, but there have been struggles. Mainly, my sensitivity and shyness and feeling overlooked or ignored. People not understanding my feelings on things. Being hard...
I've often been called an old soul, but also innocent and childlike. INFPs are ageless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=654tlKKI_Ys Love her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM1wEyQBFLA So haunting and like being on some wild mountainside. And I love Native American instruments <3...
I do wear make up for my everyday look. I used to wear none at all, but I've grown to like it better once I learned how to apply it in a way that works for me. I like a doe-eyed, soft, fresh kind of...
The very first time I even heard of personality types, I tested as an INFP in high school. Revisiting it in college, I often got ISFJ, ISFP, or INFJ. I often questioned my type--and I often...
Oh I love this movie (and other Ghibli films too!)! <3
I love all animals, but I do love cats more. I used to be more dog crazy, but the older I get, the more work they seem to be, and I don't really have the means to care for one. They need proper...
I've been going back and forth between ISFP and INFP, and this is what finally nailed it for me! It's almost like I'm in constant information-gathering mode. Going back and forth, trying to find...
My philosophy is the job I have *has* to allow freedom for me to do other things that I want to do. Not really into a career, never have been. I knew when I entered college that if I ever had a...
I've wondered this too. Test questions often ask, do you like abstract or concrete information? without giving examples. I mean, what is abstract information vs concrete information? And how do you...
The feeling of being in harmony with the earth. The feeling of warmth and closeness with my family.
Haha, yeah it's gone way off topic lol! Wow, that is the best description I've read of INFP. I love the Phases of life that they describe. I definitely feel like I'm in the Phase II--it's kind of...
@ferroequinologist, I am a lot like your wife in the scenario you gave. I don't know, my intuitive global thinking is so close with my sensing thinking more of the particulars. I did just come back...
Thanks for responding to my question! I don't know, I think I would only really do this if I'm stressed or nervous. I'm not sure about Ne--I don't really know what it looks like. So is it seeing...
Wow what you described does sounds like me! Ok now I'm questioning again lol but that's ok! I have a hard time doing something like that unless I have done it many times. I have got to be comfortable...'
