So I’ve been very confused for a long time about my type. Been constantly questioning it and thinking I could be something else but just ending up concluding that I’m INFJ. The kicker is, I look at all the INFJ stuff online and I just honestly think, ‘wtf? I’m supposed to be the same type as all these hippies?’. I just sat where I was scratching my head as to how I’m any where similar to you guys (That happen to meet that descriptor).
Turns out, I’m INFJ 6w5. I used to score INTJ quite a few times on some random tests before and yeah, I could somewhat relate to them, but looking at things as how they are instead of what I prefer, I’m doubtlessly INFJ 6w5. For a long time I didn’t wanna be, simply cause INFJ wasn’t the ‘cool’ type like INTJ, but I recognise I got some pretty cool skills from almost both sides of the coin.
For one, I’m more cerebral. I tend to pursue things that are more grounded in the facts while also striving for spiritual and virtuous fulfilment. I love order and structure (could be more of an ISTJ thing) while also liking to prepare for worst case scenarios. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s a 6w5 thing, but I can quite easily dehumanise someone just to make standing up to them much easier. I’ve learned to detach quite effectively from people’s opinions. And I’m generally more traditional than most INFJs I’ve seen on here (want a beautiful family, raise a strong son, never covet another woman, etc.).
Downsides of course are that I’m very anxious of what could happen. I tend to see everyone as a potential enemy unless I can charm them into friendship. If they do something remotely out of line, it’s incredibly difficult for me to trust them again. I’m also usually up at night worrying about the little things I neglected throughout the day.
Anyway, can any of you else share if there are obvious strengths, weaknesses, differences, etc. with the INFJ 6w5? Preferably from similarly typed INFJs.
Also, I hear Aragorn and Obi Wan Kenobi are INFJ 6w5s and they tend to stray from the norm.
