INFJ and I've decided I don't really like the type. I haven't liked it since I was a child and worked at repressing my Fe. Now that I'm an adult and understand who I am a lot better, I realize it would have been much better for me to be anything besides an INFJ. Yet here I am stuck with this...

Sounds like an Fe problem. Asperger's can skew your MBTI tests results from what I understand. It's likely you have Fe in your top two functions or it is a well-developed tertiary. So I don't think you're an INTP, either. Figuring out what exactly you are; however, may be difficult. Even if...

Yes, this is a good description of the INTP. Whenever I post some INFJ-esque content on here, it gets eviscerated. Sometimes that is a great thing, and sometimes it is a disappointment. I don't think you should hold back, unless you value the relationship strongly enough to do so. You are...

I wouldn't invest that lump of money in one go. Generally, it is considered safer to spread out an investment of a lump-sum over a period time, even if just over a year. If the stock market dips 10% by July, you'll be regretting buying stocks only six months into the investment. Second, the...

I have an ENTP friend. You are right to be wary of them; you're only going to have truly honest dealings with them if you can see through them completely. I'm not saying they're evil... it's not that at all. The one I know is pretty harmless, just he'll play social games if you let him...

One point for INFJ right there. That guy added me on MSN and would argue utter nonsense with me. First, he tried convincing me I was not an INFJ, which just further convinced me I was. Then he'd talk such crap about that system, even though I didn't really care. Then he'd make fun of me if...

I have found that the best way to type your acquaintances and friends on-the-fly is to do so by pinning down at least one function that they strongly represent, whether that function is their dominant or auxiliary. It then helps if you can determine if they're introverted or extroverted, which...

I am centrist brained according to what I have read about the INFJ personality, and according to what testing I have done. Apparently Ni resides in the Cingulate Gyrus, which is dead center in the brain, having equal portions in the left and right.

But come on! It's Lenore Thompson , folks!

He meant it from the point of view that your judging function is introverted. He's not saying they're a "judger".

Aha! I beat the illusion, if I stare directly in the middle crossbar and blur my eyes intentionally it's gone! :) I feel a lot better about this now, the first time I looked at this, it was a total mindrape.

Oh ok, I understand what you mean. I'm so used to my father doing this that I automatically overlook that behavior in him. You see, what an ESTP respects is individualism and self-sufficiency. They behave funny for attention, attention of the sort that would make you think that "Hey, this...

My father is an ESTP. They can be highly intelligent if they apply themselves, and are gifted with smart genes, I think. He's generally smarter than me, so I would put his IQ near 140 or better. He also has many issues, that cause a great many people to consider him strange. Automatically...

Ni does not seek a depth of understanding, trust me on this one. ;) Remarkable understanding in a short period of time, with few supporting facts, as long as it fits with the over all model, YES! It does achieve that. Since it lacks the rigorous standards that INTP's always require, I...

Re: A Plea and a Declaration of War Also, I type all my friends using MBTI. It doesn't dehumanize our interactions, it makes me far more understanding in who they are as a person, so I can sympathize and empathize much better. Recently, I had the displeasure of working with an ESTJ. Well you...

Re: A Plea and a Declaration of War Edit: I wrote this before reading your entire post, sorry. I didn't realize you had changed your mind and are now agreeing with their theory. ------------------------------------------------ Yeah... I think your excessive ranting is helping Adymus, if...

Personally, my Ni drift is not a far left drift. It is only ever so slightly left and up a little, yet while doing it, I stare off in the distance. It's the thousand-yard stare they talk about in Full Metal Jacket. Of course, this is the Ni drifts I am conscious of, which I might be...

I didn't read it all, only about half way through. It pretty much sounded like a new way (perhaps a better way) of describing MBTI. If you type in "INFJ" into Google, what pops up is a pretty crappy description of the type. I'd much rather have someone do it right. Even I could write a...

I've never seen this style of illusion before. O.O That's why it's so surprising when I looked at it.

Actually, VH on the INFJ forum has showed us what an INFJ and an INTJ brain looks like. I have no clue what backing his information has, but it was an interesting read. http://forums.infjs.com/showthread.php?t=11308

Yep, glad I could help. As an INFJ using Ti, you are now part of the Rational's club, the secret fifth "NT" type... but only if you want to be, because we can always hop back over to using Fe.

Yeah, that's possible snauf, you can never really rely on posts to determine these things. This is doubly the case when someone makes overt personality clues. Well, expressing his brand of humor may just be because he's in the military and that's commonplace there. Ultimately there's an...

Ok, I probably know what happened. Pretty much, the same thing happened to me at one point. This happens to other INFJ's too. One who signed up here recently, MrPeters, had a similar experience. Your Ti turned on. You were an INFJ before, but you developed your third function, and for an...

Re: I want to sabatoge a relationship.. Wait, I just caught this, you're a girl? If you're attractive and he's like 90% of men out there, you just have to start flirting. If he's a bit drunk it should help things along; and end the night with sex, presuming you're not like 16 or...

I am here for some very simple reasons. Boredom and wanting to socialize. As an INFJ, I feel this desire to interact in a way that I am understood. To an INFJ, that's socializing. If I'm around people who don't understand what I am saying, I just introvert and am not socializing at all...

Easy, we create pocket dimensions inside our head, to store our genetically-modified brain the size of a universe. Then if our body dies, we just get a new one built and hook it up to the pocket dimension brain. BTW - I wont be taking part in this transformation, I fully look forward to death...

ENTP, maybe? I have no clue, honestly, just by definition most ENTP's are full of themselves. They can be total loners too, and mistake that for introversion. Just a thought, I'm not trying to argue it as there are many other explanations, such as skull diameter. That's possible too. But...

I'm not certain why we would have to upload our brains into Jupiter. I mean, yeah we probably could at some point... it might be a decent Plan B should the human race face the destruction of Earth, with no other viable place to survive. Why not simply augment our bodies to the point of...

INFJ's can enter states of emotional oblivion; we still use Fe, just we articulate our Ti through Fe, which stunts the emotional aspect of Fe. Because we possess Ti, we can make rational decisions detached from personal values, but because we also possess Fe, we may not feel comfortable with...

Welcome, new person. :)

ENTP's are generally better at implementing their ideas, which is a positive. Their ideas tend to be less profound and detailed, but the trade-off is well worth it. You also have the possibility of being somewhat manipulative, in either a good way or a bad way. My ENTP friend is good at...

The picture in his profile hurts my eyes. I think that would win the contest for the most subtly disturbing avatar, no matter where you look it changes, and you look somewhere else and changes again.... O.O I can't take it. Also, I think you INTP's are giving better answers than you'd find...

What is up with that picture!?!?! The hell, I can't look at it, it's all funny and changes depending where I look.

INFJ monkey smileys!!! Then they could war with the Spartans. :hoplit03:

You don't have to use the video to type him either, if the debate is solely between ESFJ and ENFJ, then you can use his statements on this forum to make a conclusion. Creativity is often a manifestation of N, even if it is a third function. I honestly think Ni is more creative because it...

TruthSeeker, you should stick with this forum, even though you're an INFP. INTP's need some other perspectives and yours has generally always been top-notch.

Where I think Cegorach is going wrong here is that ENFJ's are very sensing oriented. It's their third function and they generally take full advantage of it. If Animekitty were an ESFJ, he should be relying on Si a LOT more to remember details, rather than Ti + Ni to articulate concepts. I...

If you're an ESFP, you shouldn't be using Ti at all. From what I saw of your first video, you were using it... and you were using it inefficiently, if I might add, worse than me. Having it as your 4th function sounds highly plausible. This would leave ESFJ or ENFJ. If you consider it is your...

If your life is just a hallucination, then so what? I mean, obviously if this is true, your real life was so horrid that you'd rather hallucinate. Even if that's not the case, this hallucination is the reality you are presented with. The one piece of evidence you can acquire to ascertain...

This pole is forming up to be a bell curve.

I scored dead even, right and left. This is very consistent with other testing I have done concerning the brain, like whether I am male or female brained. I lean slightly female, while utilizing both sides of my brain, really. I think that's common for an INFJ because if you look at the areas...

Posts like this are the solution to inactivity. I browse this forum regularly but because there are few new posts, I have little to respond to. What is needed, I think, are more new posts created by those who use the forum. I usually only make a new post when I have a problem I need advice...

*Scribbles down notes.* Now now... calm down my fellow NT, brethren. This alleged conspiracy is obviously a delusional projection derived out of animosity toward the more successful INTJ's. Please resume all manner of endless debate and exhaustive brainstorming of possibilities, after all, we...

welcome back, phantome

I voted you deserve to die, Cog. I think everyone deserves that at some point in their life, it's part of the human experience and all that. I know you're really into immortality and all, but sorry, I think you deserve it at some point. :P

I played and beat Mass Effect 2. It didn't seem as time-consuming as the first, and for me that means I didn't like it as much. I guess there were less pointless planets to land on, but I thought cruising around in that land rover was a lot of fun. I think I understand why it was...

I see your point. Long bouts of exercise could be very draining to Se. I never exercise long, maybe 30 minutes a day at most, some days just a 15 minute warm-up really. The exercise just keeps you healthy, which gives you more energy throughout the day. It's going to depend on the person and...

You generally determine E vs I by assessing what gives you energy. If socializing drains your energy, then you're I. If it gives you energy, then you're E. So if you have a friend or someone close that does not trigger your social anxiety, does talking to them energize you? Do you need a...

*Buys your fat guy a new tutu to wear because that one has gotten awfully smelly after one year.*

Well from what I've seen on other forums it gets kinda pointless. Everyone has great reputations or horrid ones. A better system is needed, like granting various ratings for like... -Quality of Posts -Supportive Posts Or some such, but that'd just be a pain to implement.
