Hi everibody! I just saw this video, which does a fine job describing how INFJ can defy stereotypes - better than most, actually: I especially love the way he nails down the INFJ's ambiguity and inconsistencies between rationality and emotion. What do you think about it?

:laughing: So true! A nice illustration of your point above, and the one from @Vendrah .

Nice point, Ti-doms and Te-doms are very, very different to N-doms, actually.

@charlatan , thanks for weighing in. Your mention of the HEXACO is spot-on. I'm not very familiar with it, so I decided to dig into it, and also took the test from hexaco.org. I have to admit I quite recognize myself in the results, more than in many others I took. I like the way they score...

Yeah, @Vendrah , I know your opinion, but thanks anyway for posting it in this shared debate. Thanks also for Jung's quote, I can't quite remember reading it, maybe because it sorts of leaves me cold. As you said, it's more related to N-doms not having much affinity with the T/F function, being...

For example... this: Is this T or F? give your answer before reading in the spoiler.

I've just read this somewhat old thread and found it very enriching! Thanks to @Asa for starting it, and to all the contributors. I agree with most of what has been said: the MBTI unofficial tests are vastly improvable, to say the least. I can't speak of the official one, as I haven't taken it...

@John K , @Deleted member 16771 maybe you'll find this great post interesting...

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!! BRAVO @Vendrah !!!! What can I say? It's a great job, very enlightening. Personally, I have a difficult relationship with Jung. I find that studying him is like studying latin. It's useful, it's rewarding, it helps you in multiple ways and enriches you. But is damn...

Thanks @John K , I hope you don't mind that I asked. I could have written this myself! So very much in common, really. I am coming to terms with my understading of Fe just recently. I believe I used it as you say: it was a tool to support the Ni-Ti combo to seek affirmation. I was very shy as...

I relate to this too. @Daustus and @John K , I feel we have common experiences here. Being IN puts you in a small minority. If you are male, you kind of have problems developing your F, especially Fe (F outside yourself) when most of your peers are ST. The pressure is huge, maybe just second to...

Thanks for all the replies, so glad to have started a meaningful sharing of ideas on the matter. I'm not sure I follow your reasoning... but maybe it's my being skeptical about the functions. Agnostic, if you will. If what you mean is that society values logic more than vision, I agree...

Thanks @Asa , very enlightening. I bolded what I found most telling. As I wrote in the thread I started yesterday, https://www.infjs.com/threads/why-t-f-is-a-mess-and-help-me-clarify-mine.38065/ I've gone mad trying to figure out my T/F with Fe-Ti vs Te-Fi, but I truly believe it all boils...

Interesting, I've always heard it the other way around. Could you tell us more about them? Why were they mistyped and how did they come to find their "true" type?
