The urge is still there but I can overcome that.|||Are there any who have actually tested as or self-identified as INFP rather than just speculation?|||I'm an intelligent person but I almost hate myself for what I'm about to write.

We have the same vision but opposite skills.|||So we can conclude that other types think we are good listeners because we don't talk much, but when they are talking away at us about something, our minds are usually on other things anyway? ;-)|||I know one that I know of but I find our conversation is stilted. There are things that make me cringe about her because they remind me of things I don't like about myself and I cringe too at the...|||When I first found MBTI I found most type descriptions accurate about me in some respects, but not in others.

I was always wanting more and he wasn't prepared to give it.|||My best friend is INFJ, as is another one of my friends. Another good friend is ESFJ although I find too much of her wears me out, small doses are better. Another friend is ENTJ.

Are there anymore of...|||William Blake. Don't be deceived by its apparent simplicity.|||Depression manifests itself differently in everyone. It's not a list of symptoms. I think INFPs may be more pre-disposed to suffer from depression than some other types. It's that introverted...|||I despise such attitudes. I am not an INFP and I am not very INFP.

Really knew how to push my buttons and enjoyed it.|||and how awful would it be if we weren't? :-) !!!!|||The internet suits the way my brain works. I can be watching something on the computer and it makes me think of something so I can quickly pause whatever I am watching and look something up on...|||I think the qualities that are considered 'emo' or 'scene' lend themselves to INFPs in some respects, however because the 'scene' is considered 'cool' by some, I've often wondered if some of these...|||I'm new to cognitive functions and I see myself very clearly in Fi and Ne.
