I'm yet to come across an INTJ behind a fairly convincing INFJ facade. Even if there are such out there, I doubt that they can sustain wearing the mask for a prolonged period of time. I'll exercise my F here and say that in my experience the biggest difference between INFJs and INTJs is that...

Hi Vagrant. Thanks for the invitation to the INTJ converts group.

Thanks for the clarification and apologies for leaving this post two days after your's. Indeed it would be unfortunate if one let laws dictate one's morals. In this case the law just happens to correspond completely with my moral standards. I like that it's absolute and that it covers all...

Sorry I am a bore but would you equate maturity with mental age? If so, how about a hypothetical situation where a twelve-year-old whose mental age is twice as big seduces a twenty-year-old of average intelligence? She is intellectually superior to him and it may be difficult to assume that...

I may be splitting hairs but I think such interpretation is too narrow as it would not categorise as paedophilia those cases where it could be argued, at least in theory, that no harm would result from a particular child's decision to engage in a sexual conduct with an adult. The legal approach...

I remember being surprised by Welles's interpretation of the novel. Interestingly enough, some of the locations on which the film was shot are not very far from the house where my dad lived. Still, the BBC's 90s version with Kyle Mclachlan felt somehow better. I don't know whether it was the...

I really enjoyed Metamorphosis too, but liked The Trial even better. It is fantastic. Haven't read Brief an den Vater (which for some reason is translated in English as Letters to His Father). It is in this novel (?) that he confronts his father and where, I suspect, his INFJness manifests...

Franz Kafka?.

It could be. I don't know. In any case, it's an INF book. A true masterpiece.

How about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry? I find the chapter in Little Prince about the little prince, the fox and little prince's rose particularly telling. It's probably a good description of how friendship formation works in the INFJ world. I know it's not the INTJ way. Marcel Proust?

I don't think it's an insurmountable problem. How about a mandatory GPS implant for everybody which would allow us to locate every individual? Sure there would be privacy problems but with the sort of situations you describe I think everybody would be more than happy to agree to the above...

I don't think you can have a situation where you can't die but can lose body parts. I mean one could still tolerate losing a finger or eyes but how does one reconcile losing both lungs, heart, kidneys and so forth and still remaining immortal? Does that even make sense? How about facing a...

I may be too idealistic but if I were in a marriage or any other relationship and felt that I needed to be with someone else - even if I thought that this is not likely to be a long-term affair - I think the least I could do is go to my partner and admit that I am attracted to someone else. Any...

Black - Wonderful Life http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=RsK3w_Qoebc There are bits to which I can really relate, and there are bits to which I wish I could relate. A great, great song. Black - Wonderful Life Here I go out to sea again The sunshine fills my hair And dreams hang in the...

A word of advice to INFJs out there from a person who was clingy and obnoxious, a loser and nuisance and so on for several weeks this summer. In my defence I couldn't have helped it. I was under a lot of stress, really needed someone and a very polite INFJ just happened to be at the wrong place...
