'An ENTJ friend of mine has a very similar background and is only now starting to slowly get better. One thing that has been helping her is schema therapy. It really helps her to be concious of her...|||I don't think that is the case tbh. I've been a blood donor for years and never had any trouble (other than cold arms sometimes, which can make me hard to prick correctly).  It might be a case of...|||You should definitely tell her, but try to frame it constructively. It's important not to just suck it up when it's your project too. On the other hand, if the genre is the problem, that means that...|||INFP and INFJ is an interesting one, yeah. Both tend to have very similar behaviours and values. They have very different reasons for it, but on the surface, they can seem identical.  In fact, a lot...|||The way you describe her I would be convinced Friend A was an ISFJ. Most descriptions for ISFJ are superficial, which means that most intelligent ISFJ's have trouble seeing themselves in that image....|||Honestly, most people who say they are agnostic are atheists that don't think it's worth it to get into a fight about religion.|||Only if it comes up in conversation.   Actually, I tend to try to type people I'm around. Sometimes the subject of personality comes up. I always end up talking about my type (but mostly cognitive...|||Something different: how long have you two been together? There's some natural points where our bodies start to react differently to partners. This is all biology and it can help to be aware of how...|||I have learned so much from watching his videos. He's very concise and clear and makes good distinctions between everything he talks about.   He's very INFJ in his explanations and I think a lot of...|||I think for INFP's, Ne is mostly about keeping an open mind about things. If you want to exercise it, brainstorming can help, without thinking of how the possibilities will impact your life at first....|||Before anything else I'd like to state that the thing I like most about MBTI is that it's all about factors of personality that do not change during your lifetime, but are things that you can develop...|||Thank you for the kind feedback. Maybe I'll start a website on all of this at some point. I've sure sank enough time into it to be pretty close to an expert on the subject I'd say.   For now I'm...|||Well, yes and no. I'll give you some descriptors below, but remember that human brains are incredibly complex and everything works together. Therefore it can be hard to draw lines between the...|||I don't think any scientific studies into this have been done.   I tend to think that there is a factor, but all of us are basically just guessing at this point.|||I'd like to split it out in competitiveness against other people and against myself.   Against others I'm a 1. I really dislike competition for the sake of competition. I don't care about proving...|||I think that's a feeling that might happen with a lot of people with age. As you get older, you don't stop developing your functions and at some point you might be familiar enough with them that you...|||The Hunchback is my favourite Disney movie. While that's not an argument for or against this, I just thought I'd share that.   Honestly: I think there's nothing wrong with viewing something like...|||I'd say that there are a lot of ways to live for others. Let's go over a few that I do:   1: I have a stable relationship with someone who values me a lot. I think she makes me a better person and...|||Just practice a lot and see what works.|||Only an INFJ could think up something like planning sponteneity. I do it too of course ;)  On a side note: I've met multiple ENTP's that got ENTJ out of their tests. I think there are a lot of...|||It's hard, yes. I think it's important to start with small things and work your way up. Get comfortable talking to other people and asking things from them. For example: If you're unsure where to go,...|||I must confess that I don't really see the problem with the original situation. I'm in a relationship with an ISFJ and whenever we're with friends we tend to spend more time with other people. We...|||I used to be very bad at this, either presenting myself as I thought others saw me, or trying to be different than others in any way I could.  It took me at least thirty years, but I think I'm now...|||Very interesting. I recently saw a video on this, which made me cruise through the beginning of the game... After that, things changed. I've definitely learned a lot from the video and it's going to...|||Interestingly, both of my close colleagues are very strong J's (INTJ that is often mistaken for an ENTJ and an ESTJ).   I don't have any problems with them. Strong J's don't always feel like they...|||There's some really great things written on motivation and how all of it works. Motivation requires a few things, and missing these can be disastrous.   My first thought on hearing your story is...|||Here's a little list of mine. I purposefully included a few that go against stereotype a bit but I stand by each and every one of these:   ISTJ – Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Voyager) ISFJ – John...|||I can't imagine someone thinking social justice isn't the best thing in the world. I honestly don't understand how people think calling someone a Social Justice Warrior is a bad thing. It sounds...|||When other people are angry... Trying to work on that, but I don't even notice myself mirroring the other person until it's too late most of the time.|||You understood completely what I wanted to say. Nice example too. :)|||As far as I know that MBTI is a thing at all, I'm 100% sure. I'm always checking and rechecking everything I assume to be true, but this is one of those things that fits so perfectly with everything...|||My (ISFJ) fiancé can actually sleep anywhere. She'll voluntarily sleep on the floor because she only wants to be asleep for an hour or so and continue doing stuff afterwards... She's a bit special...|||When two people in a TV series have a misunderstanding and you just feel miserable because of it.|||I don't hate any of the functions. They're tools. Of course we're kind of stuck with the tools we're given, but there's still a lot of freedom in how you use them.   Honestly, you can't hate a...|||I personally like to think of Ne as extrapolation and Ni as interpolation.   Let me elaborate:   Ne is coupled with Si. Si works from the information that is already there. Ne uses this to...|||First of all I'd like to stress that two completely different writers can come up with he same result based on a completely different cause. You have the right idea by actually watching their...|||I think for most INFJ's we want to train our Ti, which is your natural state of being. Just analyzing stuff together and talking about how the world works could be all you need to relate. You might...|||1. Do you enjoy board/ card games? Hell yeah. In fact, it's my main source of relaxation and intellectual stimulation at the same time. I've always been into games, but especailly figuring them out....|||One thing that took me most of my life to realize is that school isn't about learning. It's about proof. Companies need to know what you can do, and that's why you need to take tests, to prove that...|||I've noticed that a lot of tests don't take the functions into account at all. The will test F vs T instead of Fi vs Fe. That can really screw up the results. The functions are often badly described...|||I think most INFJ's struggle a lot with their romantic and analytical sides. These forums focus a lot on analyzing people and stuff like that, making the conversations lean more towards that part of...|||I can totally relate. I have one good friend that just smells bad. He's got a lot of other problems and I'm kind of scared to tell him. I kind of feel like a bad friend sometimes that I haven't told...|||Congratulations. You have passed the test. You are not an INFJ. And might I say that those are some of the most ESFP answers I have ever seen?|||I've recently taken up inline skating (always wanted to learn it. I've actually had the dang things in my house for years). I think my inf Se helps me enjoy the activity even more. I mean, I'm...|||Yeah. I noticed that while writing it. It was a little too hard to try and fix it though, so I left it in.|||I'm not sure if there actually are any people that are 'between 2 types'. People claim to be, but between people not understanding the functions fully, people not being honest to themselves about...|||I don't let myself get caught up in my intuition in that way. I try to stay critical of my own thinking and ideas. That's the only way tp grow as a person.   Honestly, I like nothing more than...|||That's a great way to put it. Nice one.|||That sounds a lot like Fi indeed.   There's a big difference with Fi and Ti. Both are very personal and about why you do things, but Ti likes to think in concrete steps while Fi is more like a...|||I have trouble both with starting and with finishing projects. It's mostly motivated by the fear that the project might not live up to my expectations. I do want the result to be perfect after all...'
