'Just a technical aside, but where does everyone keep coming up with the idea that INFJs don't hold grudges, act petty, or ever display emotional negativity towards people? We're just as capable of...|||Enneagram type: 6w5  Took the test twice, out of curiosity.  Results 1 1- ENFJ (35%) 2- ENTJ (21%) 3- INFJ (13%)  Results 2|||Just an observation based on past experience, but introverted feeling has as one of its hallmarks the propensity to see in its user any and all behaviors. It's part of the nature of Fi that it can...|||I'd demure, say something along the line of who would feed the cats?, then politely close the door. Once no one was looking, I'd sink to the floor, wrap my arms around my knees, and rock back and...|||I agree with this sentiment. Honestly, why does it matter if someone mistypes as an INFJ? It's not like there's some sort of financial benefit to it, and heaven knows that the social advantages...|||The Lord of Light, just because I like the flavor of it. If not that, then the Drowned God. It has a certain crazy something to it that appeals to the stranger sides of my soul.|||Well, I didn't see her at the last few meetings. Then again, sometimes people let their memberships lapse, so that's probably not a valid means of determination.|||My go-to song, from a dark part of my life. So much pain, so much rage. I taught myself to play it on the guitar a long time ago, just because I could.  ...|||Hmm, fascinating. I bake and cook when stressed. Cookies, pizza, stir fry, bread, donuts, fancy Italian dishes, the whole works. I hadn't thought of it in the terms of being a method of escaping from...|||That was, in a sideways fashion, precisely my point. Aside from those who might obsess over the lol wow factor of an INFJ description to the point of willing themselves into being something they're...|||I cannot abide idiots. Not people who are having issues with stuff, nor people who are in over their heads. Idiots. Just, people who should know better, but willfully act in ways that betray their...|||I can get the idea of laying it all out there for your boss, to try and help him understand, I really do. The issue I've personally encountered, time and again, is that whenever I try and verbalize...|||I have my religious beliefs, which I won't comment on beyond saying that I have them. Beyond that, though, I've seen evidence time and again that there is something... beyond us. More than us....|||Wait, but I'm not a unicorn, I'm very clearly a dragon! D-does this mean I'm not actually an INFJ, after all this time?|||Random example by reversing all the letters. It felt more grammatically drastic for the purposes of my thesis than saying the probably more prone to mistype as INFJ types like ISFJ or INFP.|||Generally speaking, real INFJs aren't the type to act super happy about it. Not to say that a person can't be excited that their type is known for being hyperunique-psychic-mystic-superlover-poets,...|||Some of the coolest people I know are ISFJs. Si is actually really neat in how it works, and gets such a bad rep by so many self proclaimed 'experts' out on the interwebs. More to the point, asking...|||Well, I'll try to phrase my answer in keeping with the metaphorical theme of the idea of a tribe, just because I like that imagery. I'm not really, socially speaking, the settled type. I'm more...|||Interesting tests (aside from that pic of the spider; who does that?!). Anyway, came out as an Owl (ahem, to quote the description a deep connection to intuitive knowledge that sees true reality...|||The Ni/Se thing is what made up my mind about my own type as well, so kudos on actually doing the research. Well done on caring enough about understanding yourself to go that deep.  I had typed...|||Go ahead and stick around! We don't discriminate. Out loud. Or in front of crowds of more than three. Also, ISTJs are awesome, so please don't even think of leaving.|||A question, though: whose vision? What constitutes a proper outlook for an unified humanity? Does it involve a group consensus, a la a massive direct democracy? Or perhaps a subsuming of the...|||I went with Arielle, Belle, and Elsa.  Arielle, for her innocent sense of wonder. Also, I have a weakness for redheads.  Belle, for her courage under fire. Also, I have a weakness for brainy...|||Sure. What I mean is that the handful of people I know, who I can say that I know or am fairly certain are either INFP or ISFP, have been people who have exhibited fairly strong issues in one form or...|||I'd probably assume they weren't an INFJ at first, because, well, we're not unicorns, but we're not exactly houseflies, either. After that, I'd hazard to say it would all come down to vibe. Does this...|||Poetry is something I enjoy in scant amounts, but this one just hits me in the feels.  ---  Recompense Robert E. Howard  I have not heard lutes beckon me, nor the brazen bugles call, But once...|||Hmm, lemme think. Well, I don't know about specific types, but I can probably guess as to what primary/secondary functions are more common than not. The stereotypical theater geek that is made fun...|||Ha! Love it!|||Wonderfully interesting question. Hmm, lemme think...  Silver Linings Playbook - I'm man enough to admit it made me cry. Wonderful message throughout it. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -...|||They're a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong though, being in front of so many people can be a maddening experience. The strange thing is, you get to learn to like being under the stage lights and...|||It's a moment of humanity. He's conflicted, then gives into his true self and leaves him alone. Killing brings no one of a healthy mind joy, and at the end of the day the only true point of...|||Yup! Off and on, literally almost all of my life. Stage only, though I have auditioned a few times for a few movies and a documentary. I don't really talk about it much, but... yeah. I also do a lot...|||I dunno if I'd make it sound so prosaic, but for stereotypical purposes, you're probably not far off. Maybe a more nuanced way of looking at it would be that INFJs run scenarios all the time,...|||Lots of good info already out there in the thread, but I come back to the idea that Fe, while a judging function that is extraverted, isn't the lead function on an INFJ. That honor goes to Ni, a...|||Well, there went my evening...  As for me? Beware the Nice Ones Gentleman and a Scholar more of Ham and Cheese than I'm comfortable with and a good dose of Accidental Pervert for reasons that...|||I've worked places that were tip reliant in the past, so I'm always sympathetic. That said, bad service that is more than someone just having an off day will occasionally lead me to leaving a very...|||Without every single part of me, be they ugly or pristine, I'd cease to be me. I'd not trade one single moment, error, flaw, or quirk for anything else. Some of them might be scars, but they're my...|||Every two or three weeks, I take a long hot bath instead of a shower. I throw in a bunch of eucalyptus and spearmint scented epsom salt, turn on a podcast or my favorites playlist, and soak for an...|||Dear God, I can't unsee that. I've seen and done some shit that would make a person's eyes melt out in my time, but that made me want to cut my own throat. Unironically, because we live in a world...|||I'm fairly certain I've missed the go signal from several women over the years, mostly because I either a.) suck at reading signals like that, or b.) was cursed by a genie in another life to go...|||I was CONVINCED that I was an unhealthy INFP for over a decade. Seriously, I was just sure that I was the most broken human being on the planet, because I was so sure that I was a Fi user, but only...|||Well shoot, now I have a strange urge to declare war on Turkey. Or maybe Bulgaria. A little more to the left might work better. Also, I've never been manipulated by an ISTJ before. Should I be aware...|||That really boils down to where your moral event horizon lies. I tend to be somewhat easy to manipulate by those who know how to push my buttons. :tongue:|||While I approve of this message, I acknowledge it to be verifiably false. Based on personal experience, of course, but if you quote me on that I will deny it.     Good heavens, you're making me...|||Oh bud, all the ENTPs in the world couldn't unload what I pack around, even if they were all covered in chocolate sauce and wearing g-strings while singing the Hungarian national anthem.    ...my...|||Did I accidentally slip into a subdimension alternate reality last night? What in the name of cheese is going on here?|||Yes, in a roundabout way. Not for a while, though. I've not had to experience the full weight of my load yet, and I know I won't pass until I have.|||Agreed. I need more info before I can begin to put anything into the proper context. Kiss Off game? Did you mean friends with benefits, perhaps? Or am I missing the point altogether?|||Almost dated one. She was clever, interesting, and cute as hell. I think she liked me back, in retrospect.  Yeah, I suck at relationships.|||Oh hey, it's all good. I completely agree with you. I've known a lot of people of all different types, and there's a very fine line between a person being at their healthiest versus not. We all...'
