I am now two years with an ENFJ and the relationship is the closest I've come yet to bliss. She is the first female to truly get me

1. Perfectionist? Yes 2. Argumentative? Hell yes 3. Concerned about appearance? Of course. Am I an INFJ? Damn right. My advice: 1. This constant striving business is unavoidable really for INFJ types. Best to find a way to channel it into something meaningful - a vocation, perhaps - so that...

ESTP/ENFJ: Se/Fe or Fe/Se--Histrionic Personality Disorder. I experienced this kind of behaviour first-hand in my last relationship. She was an ENFJ whose behaviour led me to believe she had some kind of personality disorder. The above discription fits: she thrived on conflict and was grossly...

Completely eccentric, no awareness of the outside world and can't look after themselves, but they are also fantastically intuitive about people systems, deep thinkers and razor sharp in their analysis. In short, utterly bonkers and utterly brilliant. ENTPs are the INFJ glove turned inside out. A...

I love popping the bubble of their arrogance. INTJs seem to think they alone have Ni. And they think they alone are right. But they are stunned when they meet an INFJ with Ni also, but with the benefit of Fe to see the world in a way they had never thought of. There is a particular moment I...

I could be wrong about this, but a number of people I know I suspect to be ISFPs, including my mother, and all of them exude mild depressive tendencies. Saying that, they are quite sweet, selfless, passionate about the arts and very gentle people. I have a lot of time for them.

Thinking females are the enemy of INFJ males in a relationship. They are obvlivious to sensitivity. Impervious to tact. They reduce us to little snivelling, emotional wrecks. Never again! As far as I'm concerned, Feeling females are the only way to go, and preferably a female with more F than...

Re: Petra I have two younger siblings, an esfj and an enfj. Interestingly, the person who I'm trying to avoid socially these days, the person that makes me most certainly disagreeable, is a single child - a female ISTJ (I reckon). Dear oh dear, what a nightmare to talk to.

I hear what you are saying, Honey. And I think that makes a lot of sense. The more i think about this, I am convinced I am quite agreeable as I really don't fight with 97% of people. And though I can be fairly argumentative (there's a part of me that is secretly an INTJ), and often quite...

"Agreeableness is a tendency to be pleasant and accommodating in social situations. In contemporary personality psychology, agreeableness is one of the five major dimensions of personality structure, reflecting individual differences in concern for cooperation and social harmony.[1] People who...

I would say I can read people instantly and usually pretty well. I can smell disingenuity before it's even spoken. For years, friends and girlfriends would be annoyed with me for taking an instant dislike to certain people, and then it would turn out sometime later that my instincts were right...

I'm a professional writer and a hardcore INFJ to boot and it told me I was an ISFP. What utter bollocks. I can't even begin to think of the problems associated with such a test.

I've lived alone on and off over the past year and it has been a wonderful, rewarding experience. Years ago, when I was 18 and went to college, I lived alone for six months and I was miserable. No money. No internet. And in a big city struggling to make friends. I didn't know what to do with...

This is EXTREMELY interesting. Perhaps you could tell me what studies etc this is based on as I'd like to read more. Also, while I understand you can measure activity in the brain, how would a neuroscientist differentiate between introvered intuition and extraverted feeling in a scan? How can...

Mother = ISFP Father = ESFJ (untested, my guess) Brother = ENFJ/ESFJ (he tests ENFJ, behaves like an ESFJ. Maybe very low N) Sister = ENFJ. Girlfriend = ENFJ I seem to be drawn to ENF* women. I once went out with an ESTP/J and it was a nightmare. I find it problematic if a woman has more T or...
