I'm very guilty of giving unsolicited advice. I have this incredible, annoying need to try and stop people from doing stupid, idiotic things to themselves. But often they ignore me and do it anyway.

It's pretty hard to figure out from forum posts what the hangup could be. There's nothing about being an INFJ per se that would make them unattractive to women. In fact, hardcore manly INFJs would be really attractive to a lot of women (think Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr etc) However, having...

Your friend is an immature loser (and of course so is the woman). You did the right thing to keep things quiet -- it's best to leave things be. It's stupid to get involved with someone who is already married or in a relationship. If they cheat on their current partner, they will easily cheat...

I agree with everything you said. I think one's MBTI type is innate and I find the idea of changing types completely absurd. People go through different phases in their lives, this is normal. For example, at the moment I'm finding myself going through the auxiliary function phase where I seem...

I just tell it like it is.

There's plenty of evidence, the results speak for themselves. There's no point asking him -- if he knew then he'd have fixed things and he wouldn't be in this situation, would he? I'm not intending to be mean to Sali here BTW. Lord knows a lot of men, and a lot of INFJ men I suspect, have...

Well, there's your clue: you're not being masculine enough to attract the women you want. Chances are you're probably a "nice guy" as well who's usually harmless and completely non-threatening, i.e. you don't excite women, nor do you create any attraction. That'll put you squarely in the friend...

It's your Jungian shadow. Everyone has a shadow. That's why I'm always wary of people who seem "perfectly" or impossibly nice and innocent; chances are they are seriously whacked underneath. As for anger, I used to have some anger problems when I was bullied or pushed around. Once, in primary...

I just can't take someone seriously when they claim Hitler as an INFJ. Carl Jung is most likely an INTP, slight possibility of INTJ. Definitely not an INFJ -- have you read any of Carl's books? His writing style is a dead giveaway. Prof Charles Xavier, Rorschach and V (for Vendetta) are...

Yeah, it's a bummer, if I was in the US I'd definitely get the eSATA port and SSD installed by them :) Sounds like an 11" MacBook Air is the ideal device for you. I'd wait until the next revision though, hopefully they'll have something a bit faster although the current gen is very good in its...

Insightfully said. As a newcomer and observer of this forum, I have to say that the overall vibe here isn't really INFJ, but I don't blame the other types hanging around for this. I think forums will always have this problem. The most intimate experience is the INFJ mailing lists, of which I...

There's no reason why you couldn't do this. Everyone's different. An INFJ woman I knew was one of the most brilliant maths students in the country. I think the trick is to find something that engages you and sparks your passion. As you say, later on you might go on to teaching others, which...

You're making the MBTI beginner's mistake of confusing F and emotions. You can get non-emotional INTJs as well as very emotional INTJs. My INTJ friend at one stage in his life was very emotional a lot of the time, way more so than me. F (Feeling) has nothing to do with emotionality (the same...

Yep. Seeing through other people, cutting through all the BS (albeit diplomatically if possible). Exposing the lies, telling the truth. Being some kind of damned insightful prophet and messiah, who inevitably ends up getting murdered by crazy people they pissed off.

27" iMac i7 2.93GHz with ATI Radeon 5750 and 12GB RAM. It's the best computer I've ever owned (and the most expensive too). The only thing I'm really missing is an OWC Mercury Extreme SSD, but that's because I'm too chicken to open up the insides and tear everything out to install the SSD...
