Anyone interested in personality types?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by NF SINCE BIRTH, Apr 24, 2020.

  1. I have taken many personality tests. It took some time to convince me. I wasnt really convinced until I saw a youtube video today made by a person just like me. It all made sense. No wonder I feel different. I am one of the worlds most rare personality types. INFJ. It stands for Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judgement personality type. Very interesting to learn about myself in this way. I am a thinker and I am a feeler. I constantly use my thinking-feeling ability to read people. I need to be around people. Although I am an introvert, I like observing the people around me. I dont really need to talk to them to know them. To be honest, PMO numbs this ability and makes it less clear. When I am on a decent streak I get almost psychic powers lol :p Not going to make this wall of text any longer for now. I would really like to say more if anyone else is interested in discussing this topic that is personalities.

    Could you post the links of the test lol. I wanna check mine.
     
  3. @Deadpool98 this is the last test I took: https://sakinorva.net/functions

    110 questions. Takes a while but it goes to the core and maps out your cognitive functions, not just your behaviour patterns. You can often be one personality in terms of how you behave and a completely different one if you look at your core cognitive functions.

    I think the core cognitive functions is a better measure to truly know what kind of personality you are.

  4. I wasn't.. Then I took the test.. I literally rolled my eyes over every question! Needless to say I was shocked to see how accurate that was.. :emoji_sweat_smile:
    But we need to be really aware that we don't make it our hindrance in progress.. "Because of that trait in me personality.. I can't do it.. " blah blah.. :)
     
  5. What was the result? Yea, dont put a label on yourself and tell yourself that you have sorted your self out and that's it.
    Knowing your type can be great to understand yourself on a deeper level.

  6. INFP :) INFJs cousin in a way. A lot of differences of course but also a lot of similarities. I haven't deep dived too much into it but from my understanding INFPs are using their brain more than INFJs. Always analysing, and pretty fact oriented while INFJs go more by gut feeling and intuition. INFJs analyse a lot as well, but we trust our intuition a lot.

  7. The gut/intuition following comes from F... So.. INFPs are as bad in following gut as INFJs.. We use brain but all for daydreaming..

  10. I find personality types really interesting. Although I would warn against putting too much stock in them. I've seen people excuse their own flaws and bad behavior by blaming their personality type, which is unhealthy because people can change. You might not be the same personality type for your entire life.

    Also, please, please, please do NOT use the enneagram. If you haven't heard of it before, don't worry about it. Don't look into it. The source of how it was created is incredibly concerning.

  11. I dont think anyone strictly fits into any one category. I myself am a pretty unhealthy INFJ. It helps to understand where it all is coming from. I am not going to sit back, relax and blame my personality for all my bad traits. I dont think my personality is going to change a lot over time but I can for sure find better ways to deal with things.

    For example when I know that INFJs that spend too much time alone tends to drift off into destructive thinking, I should work on being more social. I need people even though I sometimes think I dont.

    And maybe I should do some more meditating. Develop my intuition a little and ground myself more. A too dominant mind is unhealthy for anyone.

    And I should probably accept the fact that a lot of people make me tired. I am never going to thrive at big parties. I will always like calmer settings where I can have deep conversations with people, or maybe just sit in my corner and absorb the atmosphere.
     
  12. I have spent the last few days learning more trough watching INFJs on youtube. What I notice the most is how different they are. Most of them talk very slow like myself. They are processing while they are talking. If asked a deep question, we need more time to answer than most people have patience to wait. We would rather write you an answer later when we have processed your question than to answer you right away. I noticed that when looking at INFJ celebrities talking.

    Then it seems like a lot of people claim to be INFJs for some reason just because it is the rarest personality type. I am talking of the first impression I am getting from youtube. INFJ got probably 10 times more videos than any other personality type. Maybe INFJs just are more likely to express themselves in that way? It seems odd anyways.

    I notice that I dont strictly fit into the description of an INFJ all the time, and I am taking it all with a grain of salt. It seems like some people try too hard to be an INFJ, and to be honest it doesn't seem that cool.

    One thing I noticed was the part about INFJs always being super serious and 100% honest. That doesn't necessarily sound like me. I cant lie. I am a terrible liar so I wont even try. But I like trolling people. It is a part of my humour. I guess I expect them to realise that I am pulling their leg at some point when I for example start to explain why Camels and Whales are related. "you know 200 million years ago the ocean broke into Sahara blahblahblah". The problem is that my acting is so good that they dont realise I am joking.. I do this quite often and the end result is that people tell me something like "I cant tell the difference between when you are serious and when you are joking".

  15. Dont get too caught up in it. I once tested for Borderline personality order online. I know it isnt true. Although I certainly feel like it sometimes, you have to talk to a specialist to get a proper result.

    Sounds like you have a dry sense of humor. Quite common among us INFJs.
