Now that I have finally narrowed down and realized I am an INFJ, it is a bit of a relief. Before I was pondering over why my personality didn't quite seem to fit either an FP or NT. At the time I just accepted I was some atypical INFP with NT tendencies. Looking at INFJ being a possibility, I...

You're very welcome. :) I'm glad to help.

One place you may want to look into is wrongplanet to get a perspective of those on the spectrum to help understand your son and help him understand himself. I don't know if he struggles with this, but it was for me a milestone when I realized what I thought in my head was internal to me and...

Thanks, What you said makes complete sense. For me, my upbringing, my mom is either a very strong INFP who believes herself to be an INFJ or she is an INFJ whose life experiences led her to distrust the Fe aspect of her personality so much that she is (even to this day) is reading books and...

That's a neat take on Si and makes a lot of sense. As for your question, what works for me is using my imagination in combination with an internal voice and some subconscious ability to replay the memory in my head, just after it happened. Say I want to remember my experience going to my state...

I know this is an ancient post, but I didn't want to create a new topic. I thought the discussion on here was rather interesting. (I found it through google trying to understand myself and how Fe works.) I have high functioning autism. Diagnosed PDD NOS at age 6. (I think now they've changed...

The Ambitious Worker. Uh...how did I end up with that result?

I disagree with the visual art part being rare or unhealthy. I believe INFJ's can be artists and create artwork. Speaking from personal experience, just that it is more difficult, because my mind wants to draw me away from my current project, pause, interrupt to process thoughts and ideas. That...

Watched halfway into it where he was giving the "pop quiz" showing the different video clips and asking to spot the True INFJ. I was certain I wouldn't be able to tell, but then for whatever it was worth, I guessed the correct one (or at least as correct as he saw it). I forgot her name, but...

Suggestions on where to look? Or I'll be exhausting myself for the rest of the night finding articles and coming to conclusions. I guess in the end whatever is happening is happening, That hasn't changed. It's my awareness of what is going on that does.

I likely do have a misunderstanding. A lot of the stuff on the net is confusing/ contradictory. Plus my understanding seems to change as I write down and put my thoughts into concrete form. So what I may understand now is not set in stone. What I put in the first post has certainly changed as I...

Yeah,I came to accept my function stack lines better with INFJ (regardless of the INFP results I got on past tests). I see myself very clearly in the INTJ too. For now I can live with being confused between INFJ/INTJ. (they line up closer than trying to make sense out of an INFP/INTP divide) I...

That said, now that I feel like it is more clear that my function stack is more in line with a judger, maybe it is time to stop fooling myself into trying to be a perceiver and see if the results line up in a satisfactory way. I can always go back if the results don't work, but... ...Right now...

I kind of wonder if that may be my situation too. Upbringing having a lot to do with confusing my type and picking unlikely function stacking. I also have autism, which might be weakening one of my functions, (likely the Fe) while at the same time strengthening others (Ni and Ti) I haven't...

This was a thought I had at work yesterday when pondering over my own confusion. (for me it was the opposite. I tested as an INFP until I learned more about INFJ, and started answering the questions based on how I behaved, vs how I felt/ thought about the questions.) Maybe rather than focusing...
