Anyone else with INFJ personality type?

Well, Hello fellow rare human xD Lol

 

I'm supposed to be one but I refuse to believe it and like to think I'm more of an INTP, then I allow myself to chill and I go full-on INFJ, I think there is a bit of nonsense in all of it.

 

It's not nonsense, We are gradually changing. If everyone fell in those 16 categories exactly then we would have 16 pills for each personality and never have so many mental issues with people these days.
You will not exactly fit in a profile, you are special and you always will be special even if you fall in a special categories, you will develop some skills and you will lose some over time during different situations. You can be good at something which is stated to be bad in your personality but totally suck at another thing which should be your strong trait.
Also it depends on in what mindset/mood you are taking the test. We are never happy or sad. It keeps on changing.
Although I just took that test once and I have never took it again neither I intend to do it again, The point is to know yourself and work on you accordingly. When you understand yourself you know why things are happening instead of being annoyed all the time and you can use powers to fix it.

 

My point exactly, many people fail to understand this and get fixiated with their results, in my opinion learning how to develope every single aspect is the key.

 

I am also an INFJ. I think that MBTI (and Enneagram) can be a useful tool for understanding oneself and how best to relate to people of other dispositions/mindsets, but it's definitely important to not put too much emphasis on it, or ignore the fact that people are more complex than any trait theory can fully capture. It can be fun, it can be interesting - and even helpful - but it isn't the be-all and end-all of who a person is.

 

MBTI isn't science lol. that being said i do feel some pride in being INFJ even if the stats arent correct. I presume we probably make up 1/16th of population or smth like that idk we aren't that rare. To me its basically on par with horoscope level of insight. It can be interesting or fun but I try to go past it when trying to figure out who I am.

 

I am ISFJ - What exactly is the bad part?

.

 

I implicitly thank God every day that I'm an "I" and especially a "J". Whew!

.

 

For me all this is just confusing, test tell me I'm a very balanced INTJ, always, people who know me personally and know about typology are like, naah mate, you are an INFJ, specially when you are relaxed and not stressed and jumpy, I see myself more of an INTP, then considering the functions themselves, is like I am an INTJ with a high developed or integrated Ti and Fe, although it was not always that way, there was a tilting point in my life that sort of made me aware of those things, I can recall my early childhood fitting as a pure super stereotypical INFJ, then from like...10 years old onwards, INTJ, nothing close to INFJ feeling-wise...I just used to hurt people's feelings by accident and got people telling stuff like "you need to learn how to handle people's feelings carefully, just because you are smart doesn't mean you can just trash people's feelings" So well I just am who I am, but is interesting to wonder about it, analyzing the functions themselves and how are they suppose to work, and what mental processes are related to them, so I don't know if I'm a damaged INFJ, or a INTJ wich some shadow aspects integrated...or a nutcase INTP is utterly confusing..

For me typology is all about knowing wich mental processes you excel at, which one you struggle with, and integrate the shadow ones to be a more versatile and balanced human. I learnt about typology fairly recently, so when I say about how I used to be typology-wise is always in retrospective, wich to me is not precisely very accurate, specially feeling-wise, like I can recall how I used to think but not how I used to feel, but if I go back enough is the opposite, weird.

 

uuhh!! sorry. the what?

 

What? Thanks for pointing out the error btw

 

haha. no probs. I was meaning to say what's with the weird-ass initials? lol

 

So basically is a classification based on the personality theory of Carl Jung, and further detailed by Myers-Briggs, is fundamented on the theory that says we have a set of conscious cognitive functions, and those can be oriented towards the external world (extroverted) or towards the inner world (introverted), and a set of shadow functions, wich would be the subconscious cognitive functions, in relation to the other ones, after that the idea of 16 types of personality depending the more or less dominant functions in the individual and the level of conscious control over their functions in the conscious part.

 

I took the test and I'm an ENFJ, a protagonist. Interesting!

here is a good thread I made a while back about myers briggs, I am an infp-t by the way.

 

Honestly I think the test is 100% accurate, because when I look at all my life struggles and my way of thinking its 100% matches the infp-t description, the test really helped me learn who I was when I was younger and in that phase of self discovery, which I still am in and might always be but I know it helped me tremendously, and everyone who I have gotten to take the test says it matches them perfectly and I can see it to, like my granddad and grandma are both enfjs, my mom is an infj, my friend is and enfj, and me and my sister are infps, her being an assertive and me a turbulent and that also shows a lot.
