    Why don't INFJs fit into society

    I sort of understand what you were saying, but it doesn't completely make sense. Could you provide an actual example? How about someone named Lisa or Bob? Those are just random names I made up, but I was trying to make the point that I am looking for an example that involves an actual...

    Why don't INFJs fit into society

    I keep reading articles all over the Internet saying that INFJs are known for being outsiders and not fitting into society. However, I can't figure out why. I believe I accurately match the type description, but I don't understand how any of the qualities in the description could make me...

    INFJ Chameleon Problems, How to get a reign on Chameleon-ism??

    I think it's more of a choice you make.for me, being excepted means that I can be exactly who I amwithout being scornedor judged for it. That means I am hardly ever excepted.for me, it is all or nothing. I would rather have complete acceptance, or no acceptance.I don't want any part of this...

    Intimidating ENTP crush? What should I do?

    Minority Bias

    I don't know why, but it seems like I am the sort of person who everyone tells their most intimate secrets when we have just met, but I don't know why. I have interacted the most with visually impaired individuals many of them school aged, and I have to sit and listen as they tell me about how...

    Minority Bias

    I was talking about a literal minority. If you take a population count, you can understand this. Perhaps where you live, there are lots of people who are visually impaired, but where I live, visually impaired people only make up about 3% of the population, and if you combine populations that get...

    Thank you. Now I understand.

    Minority Bias

    Ok, I really can't tell if you are trying to be sarcastic, so would it trouble you to much to state exactly what you are trying to communicate. If it will, that's too bad because I will not be able to comprehend what you are trying to say. If you don't care whether I understand, why did you respond?

    Minority Bias

    What do you mean? Believe me about what? About blind computer programmers, scientists, and engineers because those certainly do exist. I have met some of them. A blind chemist has actually invented a program so other blind chemists can attach probes to a computer and then put them in solutions...

    You're the one with the rhyming quote. Nothing I wrote rhymes.

    Minority Bias

    I would propose that people have more exposure to minority populations. This is one of the reasons I advocate an inclusive educational environment where students can receive supplementary education as needed. Their would be classroom teachers in charge of setting out the curriculum and the...

    Minority Bias

    Belonging to a minority group doesn't have to be an issue. Everyone has different attributes that can both help and impede them. It is only that some attributes can be physically or medically identified while others cannot. Everyone has to work harder at different things, and the attributes that...

    Minority Bias

    Is that meant literally?

    Minority Bias

    Firstly, you are assuming that I am an outsider who does not belong to one of these populations, but I have more firsthand experience than you think. I do not want to help these minority groups achieve acceptance out of some desire to reach a helpers high. It really affects me emotionally to...
