You don't hear about them being 1's a lot, at least I haven't, but to me it makes a lot of sense for at least a chunk of infjs to be 1's. I mean, I think it would be a more action oriented infj, but seeing as "perfectionism" is totally a core element of infjs, it makes a lot of sense. Also the whole social reform bit, infjs definitely got that in 'em lolol. I wouldn't know how to wager a guess at rarity really, but I'm willing to bet there's a chunk of the pie of 'em
Yeah that was my thinking, too, though I just wanted to check if it wasn't something that was' uncharacteristically INFJ'.
Aww, thank you
Well, as Wyote already said from the profile alone they shouldn't be that rare, but I did feel a little like an outlier in terms of Enneagram until you guys and @Impact Character (if she decides for 1, that is
) came here. But I was and remain joyful enough just to be able to interact with like-minded people to not perpetually notice whether we do or don't share an E-type.The funny thing is, I think due to the perfectionism the E1 INFJ isn't all that action-oriented, sometimes it's quite the opposite. If we start thinking about the action, the plan has to play out perfectly in our minds before we even start doing it (even if that's not 100% how it goes, it's at least an approximation). That's what usually stifles the action-initiation. But once we do it, we usually continue until we're done. It takes an epiphany and practice to not feel the urge/pressure to produce something perfect.
Lol, if that is really the case, what we see hereabouts does seem to defy it vehemently. Talk about refusing to be put in a box.I mean, it's not like an infj type 4 is exactly "common" in the first place. Probably half of the infj type 1's in existence are on this forum
Aww, thank you

But perhaps we still are relatively speaking more action-oriented, doing something because it's the right thing to do according to our idealistic principles.
I would add 2s to that too, although I wouldn't presume they are just as common as 4s.
not specifically on a value level.. rather.. well.. "might be a good quality" kind of thing) ...but if I was you..I wouldn't take the result too serious/correct yet.. (the test said something about most likely 1w2.. following 2w1 and then 1w9.. ) all very close ^^" ...j/k ...well somewhat xD "orz
I wouldn't want to overgeneralise like this. Just because the pool isn't big enough, it doesn't mean that there is reason for conclusions with neither head nor tail.
Congratulations
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am working from an 8-function model, rather than the imo limited view that the MBTI-1 provides. Therefore, when I say INTJs have Fe next to last, I mean it's in their 7th slot.
Thank you so much. I think I know now why I sometimes have a different logic. I always want to make sure all eventualities are covered in the software we design. My programmers often look at me like I am not from this earth. They want to make it work and nothing more. I guess thats Te vs Ti then.Differences between Ti and Te:
I thought this was kind of sweet ^^ My brother always jokes about his rule of three.. which is basically forming a weird theory out of witnessing something to happen three times.. we always struggle there lol
This feels good as level one insight. What worries me is that inductive and deductive thinking are bound together in an intimate dance that in the end can only be separated conceptually. In practice they have to be both applied by a creative investigator in rapid evolutionary succession if they are to creatively bring new insight to birth.Differences between Ti and Te:
