However, the way I understand my own experience with Ni-Dom, it's a...|||Hello L.L.,  Whoa, a lot of text here! I'd like to formulate a reply, but I think you misread the tone of my message.  There is no need to defend Owfin (firstly, I'm sure she's quite formidable all...|||Thank you for this niss (bookmarked for reference); very concise description, and it seems to gel with the way I understand my own functional behavior (INFJ). In fact, I think I have a relatively...|||Hello W.O.T.,  I love your username; I can relate to that...  Hello W.O.T., yes it is a purported INFJ trait, but it only manifests if you will it to be so!
