    Do most INFJs really believe they are empaths?

    I disagree with you, but I respect your feeling on this matter. I have strong empathic abilities. However, I try to remind myself that I may not always be right about these things, even though I usually feel that I am right about them. I don't want to come across as being a know-it-all. My...

    What are the good and bad sides of being an INFJ?

    The good: Never without something to think deeply about; strong survival instincts; I think very quickly on my feet if I need to; I can find the humour in tough situations; there must be other things... The bad: Never without something to think deeply about; a constant inner war between...

    [INFJ] What is the most intoxicating part of being an INFJ?

    I suppose the most intoxicating part of being an INFJ (for me, personally -- I do not speak for us all...) is that I don't need drugs or alcohol to feel intoxicated. The intensity of my emotions in their natural state mimics people on drugs or who are drunk. I don't always show this, but...

    Is the INFJ really real?

    I've never called myself "special" because I'm an INFJ. I didn't even want to be an INFJ, and fought it every step of the way when I was first attempting to type myself, despite all evidence that I am one. I actually resent it when I see people saying that INFJ's think they're so great and...

    Is the INFJ really real?

    I don't think it's normal to think about people and situations over and over again, and deeply contemplating their motivations, no. As an INFJ, it's almost all I ever do. I do indeed think that INFJ is a very rare type. In other news............Don't do drugs!

    What was your first reaction to finding out you were an INFJ?

    I was in a mild state of disbelief. It was so odd to realize, finally. It really explained a lot, though. The thing that really clinched it for me was watching a video someone had taken of me and several other people. I didn't know he was taking a video, so I was being my natural self. All...

    [INFJ] Different "flavors" of INFJs: How the enneagram differences manifest in personality

    I'm a 9 with a 1 wing, which I think makes me a bit more "in my head" than an 8 wing would do for me. I tend to be very cerebral about things. I'm very calm for the most part, but I get so angry. I don't feel ashamed or anxious, I just get angry, which is very 9 of me. I'm abnormally...

    INFJ children

    Link to "kill the INFJ". Wow, that's some link!!!! I wouldn't wish INFJ preferences on any child. My niece is one, and I do feel for her.

    Loaded Words

    I don't ever use such terms, not even inside my mind.

    How would your parents describe you?

    My late mother (INFJ), would probably say: talented, willful/stubborn/difficult, special, funny; she might say I'm a bitch; can't think what else. My father (ENTP), who I never see, would probably say: smart, unstable/nuts, beautiful, capable, fragile, loving, disloyal; can't think what else.

    How do you handle criticism: given and received?

    I don't like to be criticised by others. I criticise myself quite well. It makes me angry when people criticise me, I guess because I try hard. I also like to do things my way, and I don't like to be questioned or judged on how I do them. If someone has a problem with how I'm going about...

    Is Van Gogh an INFj? Or maybe an INFp?

    I don't usually say this, but...^this. (was going to say exactly that)
