| INFjs, could you please give me an in depth description of yourself? Thanks! -- nachos |

A4 i am not sure if I really am infj, but thats maybe it: you could never be sure, there could always be another possibility. I can immerse myself into types stuff all night, only to regret in the early morning that there are only 16 of them and nothings seems to fit for me. If this isn't typical infj, I don't know. I guess we're similar to intj, who analyzes even anorganic things to death, but the infj is more "involved". I often despair because of the majority of ppl seem so unfair to each other in general and though they seem to get along with each other quite well. I always dream to be a part of it, and then, in my own special way TRY to be a part of it, but I never seem to fit in anywhere, I get hurt too easily and I have the notion of being dismissed or even disrespected. Order is not so important to me, but I can't stand when someone doesn't know their way around or wastes time. Then I want to help - I often get complaints, that I am like a personal coach or a teacher. On my worst days I am withdrawn, secluded, grumpy, or nagging, hostile even and noone would stand a chance, on my best days I am happy as a puppy, playing outside in the rain with my few very close friends - only to forget playing because of a much more interesting and much more stimulating discussion about mostly philosophical stuff, the world, the nature, the future and the past. No technical details please, they would bore me to death and I'd feel scattered. I rather need all the meanings beneath it, all the overtones. As for my looks, I don't like my pale, square face and the kind of cold expression my eyes sometimes have. I am tall and slender, I seem to be sick all the time. I wish I'd have more physical strength, I wish I could stand the cold weather much better. My mind needs stimulation, sparks all the time or I get bored and depressed. Spare me repetitive tasks, please! You might want to go and clean your fridge instead, it is a mess, I saw it  And at the end of this posting I will go over it about 5 times to be sure everything is said and most typos will be gone (not all - that's for the intj's). I guess in an infj-world, everyone would speak their mind, nobody would feel left out or lost, nobody would do tactics and foul play and it would be a more romantic and more philosophical world, everything would make sense in a kind of mythical way but it would be normal, not the sensation-headlines kind of myths. Everybody would think through the consequences of their deeds, everyone would topple over with ideas and possibilities yet to go for. Because there would be nobody around marshalling and directing and surpressing and nagging and taking advantage and so on. The world as a infj-world would be not so LOUD as it is right now and kids would rather read books and state a lot of those why-questions instead of playing video-games - and best of all, everyone would enjoy those why-questions and would be eager to answer and quickly find a new why-question work would be done because it serves a higher goal everyone sees and really cares about, not just because you have to get money. A very very idealistic world. And party along with LOUDness would be "allowed" too, don't worry -- me |
| A5 and I forgot something: whenever infj jabs at someone directly it is meant as a joke, and not as a insult. I guess correcting things afterwards and clearing ones point again and again is infj too - because I as an infj don't want to hurt anybody and I easily suspect I just did it. So I often sound apologetic. but my sis is intj, she has that weird humor, so I know she will laugh at my jabs at intj's. There - it all makes sense - well to me at least -- me again |
| A6 A depth one? Well, I just woke up, cursed my neighbors, got a beer and started to watch some Slpiknot vids. Then I'll go outside and be all nice and friendly and talk about humane psychology with some friends. -- Quasilotmanis |
| A7 Ahh... INFJ girl, your description speaks right through me. I am an INFJ myself and I strongly agree with the things you mentioned. Yes, we aren't weird but we feel misunderstood. We are not impractical and we certainly don't live in dreamland. Personally, I've been hurt before but I've learnt and I've grown. I've learned to be selfish too but I like to think of it as making myself stronger so that I'm capable of caring for the ones I love when the need arises. After all, how can we take care of others when we arent even strong enough to take care of ourselves? Now I try to use my understanding of people to help them to see themselves more clearly and at the same time moving forward with my goals according to my own principles and convictions. I'm no artist myself but I enjoy looking at life as if its an art. In this art of life, I build my world in a seemingly chaotic way to others but full of sense to me, much like how an observer is not able to see how the paint all fits in until the artist is done with his painting. I used to long to be understood but I soon realized that this is something which is unlikely to happen. It always seems that I am the one to understand them and whenever any of my friends try to describe me, I find that on the surface, yes the observations might be correct but they never know whats under that layer. Since young I have tried my best to understand myself. I pored through books and the web to find answers. But it seems to me that the these answers only bring about more questions which require even more answers. Its a never-ending cycle. Anyway that's all I'd share for now. Hope this helps. -- another INFJ |
| A8 Thanks "another INFJ"!. I guess we'r on the same page, afterall - INFJ Girl -- Anonymous |
| A9 yep...its like reading my life story...it's so weird how I felt like a regular human up until high school...and then every got weird and more complex. -- paranormal |
| A10 I have found that INFjs (at least in the business world) tend to act bossy and aggressive, but then back down right away if someone acts that way towards them. I do enjoy interacting with some INFjs, but obviously that temperament is very complex. Those with the thinking preference should probably keep in mind that some INFjs' feelings are easily hurt. -- econdude |

| A11 Infjs are pretty good writer it seems from the responses. -- Jas |
| A12 Hm... I'm usually put as an INFJ, so here goes. I don't like to see other people get upset or hurt - to the point where I have had panic attacks if I see someone I know getting upset. And I feel pain if I see someone get hurt. Surprisingly, I'm happy to sit through horror films, but I get spooked easily in real life. I'm also very quiet, I spend most of my day on my own, and although I'm usually polite, I can get moody if I spend too much time with other people. I also have problems with being heard - I'm rather soft-spoken. I have a strong sense of right and wrong, and get very uncomfortable doing something I'm not sure is the good thing to do. I dislike attention-seeking, and I find celebrities mostly boring and pointless. It's nice if they've done something I find worthwhile, but usually, they haven't, and just irritate me. I don't like shallow people either, or people who make fun of others. I'm quite restricted in the way I dress, and I'm a little funny about my clothes in a way that I don't like showing that much of me. It's not religious - I'm an athiest, I just feel uncomfortable. This leads to problems in the summer, because I feel odd even in short sleeves. Skirts/shorts/dresses/vest tops are completely out of the question. I will go to the beach and still be wearing a black hooded jumper and jeans. I also don't bother much with my hair. It's very long and brown, and has a tendency to go in front of my face. I used to have a fringe, but it grew out. In appearance, I'm 5 foot 4, and tending towards slim. I have longish arms. My skin is pale if I don't go out much, but I tan quickly if I do venture outside. My facial expression doesn't range much, but it's the best way of telling my emotion. My voice is strange in the way that if I spend time talking to someone, I start to sound a bit like them. I also pick up mannerisms quickly, like sniffing at the end of a long sentence. I got that from a friend who has a runny nose nearly all the time. I don't. I have quite acute senses; particularly hearing and smell. My sense of smell is just good, and the hearing thing probably comes from playing violin for years. I enjoy reading, and also write my own stories, but I have patches of certain ideas, so I have many different projects ranging from 18 to 58 pages on a word processor. (20 projects at the last count.) I'm imaginative, and will go off on little tangents and daydreams, but I also have a practical side, and will get a job done if it needs doing. I do well in school, and I do tend to work very hard on the things I enjoy, including things with a lot of creativity or abstract ideas, such as creative writing, drawing, philosophical questions and moral dilemmas. I also do my best thinking late at night, which is difficult seeing as I have to go to school. I do research on things that draw in my interest, leading to sessions of web browsing, such as one time where I somehow managed to go from '28 Days Later' to 'The Sims' on Wikipedia without typing in a new item. I'm naturally curious and I like to learn. In my group of friends, I don't go out much, but I'll happily go to places with small groups (one or two others) or play videogames (the only time I'm competitive) or watch films with them. I'm also a kind of group conscience, and I tend to tell them if I feel if what they're doing is wrong, but I won't force my opinion on them if they don't want it. I'm just the sort of... little voice. I'm easily affected by the emotions of those around me. If my friends are happy, I'm happy. If they're upset, I'm upset. If no-one I talk to is at school, I drift around silently and spend nearly all day inside a book. I'm not unhappy, sometimes those days are very enjoyable. I just don't socialise much. Contrary to popular belief, I'm neither emo nor goth. I'm just quiet and sometimes dress that way. I dislike being labelled like that. I have my own opinions, feelings and values outside of any stereotype. I do have moments where I act loud and excitable, but these are few. I also hardly ever get angry. If I feel bad, I start to cry, or withdraw and sit alone rather than take it out on anyone or anything. My sense of humour is usually semi-sarcastic comments (which are never meant as offensive), surreal and crazy, or most often, what has been described as 'dark' or 'gallows' humour. I also 'do funnies', usually making an idiot of myself in some way others find funny. Finally, once I start explaining something, I go on and on. -- Pazoink |
