When I need to have something repeated (which is often) one of the following as happened:  I didn't hear what they said clearly enough  my mind wandered off when...|||A lot of people mistype as INFJs. That alone is going to cause different responses here, but on this particular matter I think it could go either way, INFJs can be either clean or messy, financially...|||Tolerance to other's beliefs isn't really Fi or Fe. It could go both ways. I've seen Fi types out right dissociate from people who have beliefs that go against their core values and Fe types that are...|||He's just not that into you  Okay, this has it's merits, but it assumes a generic intent/behavior dynamic that isn't always true of the person in question.  What if he's not calling because he...|||I think we can get along great, but communication is important. We have none of the same functions in common so the likelihood that one would misunderstand the other is high. Without communication,...|||INFj is INFP in myers briggs.

The meaning that you perceive is not coming from the object, it's coming from the objects in your unconscious. Ni can really cloud your vision at times, I know, I've been there, I lost the...|||Don't know if I can relate to that. Saying the same sentence over and over. Ni impressions are non verbal, usually. Sometimes it's hard to put them to words. So I'm not likely to focus on once...|||Eh, I didn't watch the video, but based on the responses in this thread I think I know what it was about.  I have a value system, but I strive for consistency as well, and one of my core beliefs is...|||I can be.   I got overwhelmed easily when I did online dating. But I wasn't as confident in myself as I was back then, and I think that had a lot to do with it.   I always had this fear that once...|||Ne pulls meaning from the object, Ni is stimulated by the object but pulls the meaning from the unconscious.  I understand the present by making sense of the past. Ni is like a guidebook to life...|||You are not abnormal. Don't let your struggle to fit into society mold this idea into your head. You are misunderstood because you are rare, but that rarity does not mean you are abnormal, that there...|||Sometimes the words don't exist to explain it.

That's INFj that supposedly supervises ENTPs. INFj is INFP in MBTI. Socionics switches the J and P around and makes it a little letter to show the difference. It's because INFPs are...|||double post, whoops./|||I think ENTPs are great.   For the relationship to work though, it's crucial that the INFJ has Ti developed, and the ENTP wouldn't hurt to have Fe developed either. I read a lot of complaints from...|||Ni isn't close minded at all. Sometimes it makes one see in tunnelvision but general speaking it's on the same page as Ne in terms of openness.  Some of the most narrowminded people I've met are...|||Sure you don't use Ni?|||I know that MBTI describes the F dichotomy as sympathetic and all, and usually it is, HOWEVER, we all are Fs, Ts, Ns, and Ss, (you're MBTI type only has the first two functions in it's name).

You say that being an independent free thinker is better, but what about the SJ who says it's better to do what you're told because the...|||Yeah I hear them say I keep it real all the time, and I have no idea what they're talking about. I think my concept of 'real' is a tad bit different from there's. But you did say like to THINK...|||Build a stronger argument and it wouldn't happen. That's what Ti is for! :P|||We're cognitively programmed to value our strengths, else we wouldn't use our dominant function.  I mean, if I thought seeing the deeper meaning in things/being metaphorical/abstract was absolutely...|||I think it's an N thing. I do it do. so does my dad (INTJ). My INFP is always taken back by how fast I can call out the upcoming plot twists, so perhaps N dominance has an advantage over auxiliary.|||I find that people are drawn to those who have their dominant function but oriented in the opposite direction, so Ne is drawn to Ni, Se to Si, Fe to Fi, and so on.  I think the reason for this has...|||INFJs have Fe, so we extrovert our feelings and TALK about them too. Getting all emotional and not wanting to talk about it seems extremely passive aggressive and childish, IMO. Honestly, I see this...|||Strong values does not necessarily mean Fi.
