Can INFPs be tough guys if they hit the gym?

[MrBean13]

I'm aware typology doesn't change over the course of a lifetime, sort of like IQ, but in much the same way as IQ, MBTI tests only measure a narrow subset of personality and should not be trusted from online sources: they are to be used for entertainment purposes only. I made a post with my IQ score in it if u were curious, in online tests section <3.

Anyways, for people who go against this rule, do you think INFPs can be tough guys if they hit the gym regularly? Will their Fi still reign supreme or will their Si be more apparent based on their large muscles and more physically dominant nature? I ask this not because I am an INFP (actually I am an ESFJ, the exact opposite of an INTP, lol but I took this on the internet so it was only for entertainment, not a professionally administered test and I think I probably am still an INTP despite these results.) but because I was watching a guy in the gym who based on his clothes and moves, I thought he was an INFP. Then he started doing steroids and put on like 50 pounds of muscle. So I was just wondering, can muscles essentially change a person's personality completely or would they still have that INFP left in them sort of like the constipated sounding voice of an anime character who gets back up after being knocked down in a fight, stronger than he was before he got knocked down due to muscle memory? Thanks plz answer

INFP's are already tough guys duh. They pretend to be INTJ's and ISFP's (but like macho ISFP's with strong family values) They pull off being tough to compensate for not being tuff and the fact they can be tuff while not being tuff is tuff.

I don't think it's the exercise. The steroids might have a bigger role.

@The_Gopher, I totally thought that tough guys couldn't stay tuff dude but guess what, I went and got the paper and I saw the same dude lookin like Hulk Hogan and he had a a tiny lil yappy lookin dog with a little sweater on it goin for a jog. He's such a tuff guy that I think he might have been gay, not INFP

I get the sense that steroids would be more tempting because maintaining a traditional bodybuilding workout.... well, I couldn't do it. I'm more of a runner.

And that narcissist bodybuilder stereotype though.... But I could see it happening if it was emotionally drive though, or seen as key to emotional regulation, just without the roids.

INFP's are the antithesis of 'Tough Guys'.

Yes an INFP could fake it, but it wouldn't be their nature. Not recommended to go against your nature.

*really... just let 'em work out and be themselves. Whatever that is. The labels don't matter and don't work well.

But but... that would make sense!

An infp could've worked out on his own that he's a tough guy, or at least that what he want to be. I'd think it's possible for their Fi to be driving the process of being a tough guy. Their independence and resilience against Fe influences is already a pretty tough trait I'd think.

LOL @ working out make someone tough.

Were you guys friends before?

 

[MrBean13]

No, not friends, not even acquaintances, just technically gym buddies based on our close proximity.
