I have two kids, aged 5 and 1,5 years, both boys. I have been wondering what their MBTI types might be; the younger one is still too young to be sure, but the older is probably ENFJ.
He is wonderfully loving boy, always eager for hugs etc. Although he is actually a bit under five (4 years and 11 months, he just learned to read and write, although slowly, and likes to write down his thoughts and feelings - at his great-grandmother's funeral he wrote spontaneously on a piece of paper "It is sad that grandma died". He is intelligent and sensitive boy, but is not particularly shy, either, but is eager to meet other kids and quick to start playing with them. Still, I am worried about him. I fear that when he goes to school (he is now in a kindergarten), he will have a hard time since he is so sensitive and, well, feeling; that kind of thing is usually not appreciated in boys, especially by his peers. How have you male INFJs here felt in childhood and adolescence? Could you be your feeling selves at school? Do you have any advice?
P.S. My husband and the kids' father is an ENFP, so the primary male model is F, too, if it helps.
