A40 INFj's will defend a friend, and they also have weak Se like the INTj (it's their PoLR). -- S

A41 @A40 - INFjs also have strong Fi, which forms strong emotional bonds with people easily. They also value those emotional bonds highly enough that they might be more willing to use their weak Se to try to fight for them. INTjs are weak in Fi, so they don't form strong emotional bonds as easily. It's not that INTjs don't stick up for their friends, it's just that they don't have as many (or any) close friends worth exposing their weak Se for, as an INFj might. Also, since INTjs value Fe over Fi, an INTj might be more willing to stick up for a friend if that friend is right there, and showing Fe signs of emotional distress. But if you really want to see an INTj fight, try making him compromise one of his core Ti-based principles! -- Krig (INTj)
A42 yeah, i knew it was to do with the difference in leading function, but i wanted to hear it explained from an INTj standpoint. i will add to the explanation that INFj's also have strong Fe (tho it's not their usual preference) which can help in smoothing out confronting social situations. secondly, an INFj might stick up for someone (not even necessarily a close friend) simply b/c they don't think it's morally right for ppl to get away with being nasty. they may feel that that particular person needs to be 'cut down to size' lest they create further damage in future. 'Cutting down to size' may sound a bit violent/full on, but of course, it needn't be. For an INFj it might well come in the form of an acerbic statement, or rhetorical question directed at the offender. -- S
A43 Of course, neither INTjs nor INFjs have anything on ISFjs when it comes to defending their friends. -- Krig (INTj)
A44 A42 is starting to talk about an ISFj now. -- Anonymous
A45 @ A35 - So do you think that still affects you? Like if someone talks good or neutral about you secretly and you catch them but don't know what theyre saying, do you automatically think theyre talking crap? -- curious
A46 well not that particular ISFj -- S
A47 ENFP - only bullied in high school, but it was (small, only a few incidents remembered) snippets, if it got out of hand would warn them off and that'd be the end of it. Infact I received very little but was rather senstitive so it felt as though I'd been bullied mroe than I had been. Infact, I actually enjoy being bullied (so long as its 1 on 1..) as I see it as a challenge to get them back Once I managed to get a snow ball in the bully's (well just an annoying/teasing kid) eye!! Felt good that did. -- ENFP
A48 ESTp, ENFj, ESTj, and ISTps are the most likely to become bullies in my humble opinion. -- Anonymous
A49 well, my friends call me 'bully' because really i like to joke (or) bully them around just for laughs. anyway we took a myers-briggs test and my peers were mostly ENxPs and ISxPs... i never got along with my one ESTJ friend though, i always referred to her as "master" and she can be very cold and insensitive with her comments.. (plus she has no sense of humor. haha) and she always contradicts or mocks me. so yeah i was a very immature INFP but i was very social and i really liked talking and joking around though of course there are those times when i need my alone time, most of my friends were even surprised when i got an "introvert" in my result because it appears that i act the most extraverted among us, i even got embarassed showing my result at that time because i knew they'd think being an introvert would be like a loner which has a very negative implication to them.. anyway i definitely appreciate the sense of humor of my dual ESTP who tends to be the outspoken ones in class who always blurts out jokes and contradicts our professors and when it comes to VERBAL bullying, ENTPs can be brutally frank especially if you don't know how to handle them.-- -xNxp
A50 I was a bullyed ENTP, but I didn't realize at the time. The biggest result is that I was not comfterable, and put up facades. Now that I think about it I've always been ENTP in a friendly enviroment, but become much more introverted and emotionally in a unfriendly or unknown situation. I very much agree with the statement that ENTP's being 'brutally frank-A49' and that is usually a misunderstanding that the ENTP expects the same treatment back. INFP's don't get this, and either take it home and call it bullying, or stab back really hard. Some of meanest things I've ever heard said have come from INFP's in attempts to combat my ENTPosity. BTW I can't see an INFP bullying. -- Anonymous
A51 As far I remember we were bullying INTp's the most. -- :-)
A52 An ISTp here. i despise bullies, and never really was bullied as a child. One kid tried to, i ended up kicking his ass, but thats as violent as i've ever been. 6th grade, good times. -- Anonymous

A54 I'm a INFP (I think), 37 years old, and bullies have homed in on me ever since I was little. It's like anyone who is a control freak can smell me a mile away. I sometimes think that bullies can sense that I HATE them with a passion even though I try to ignore them...... -- Todd
A55 I'm an INTP and I was never bullied ever, and I know for a fact there was a lot of bullying at my school. One of my friends (who was in another class with people I didn't know or I would have put a stop to it). I always felt like I was the type who should have been bullied: intelligent, kept to myself, had few friends. But I don't know. My sister says it's because I'm intimidating. I just seem like I would be a bitch (and definitely can be when pressed.) Perhaps it's that I was never really awkward. I felt little desire to socialize, I wasn't especially odd-looking or had any odd behaviors. If I had perhaps things would have been different. But I don't know. I feel like it's the really awkward and earnest people who are bullied the most. if you show weakness, they pounce. -- An INTP female
A56 As a boy, I was ambushed a lot. I dont know if being ambushed=being bullied. Anyway, I still beat them all, all the time. It was fun because they never got tired of doing the same thing. I, on the other hand, got better and better... -- -ISTp
