from my observations alone i see very little 'judging' going on on this forum from infj's, so i'm wondering, in what ways do infj's express this function? is it in the form of daily "to do" lists, or something of that nature? please, enlighten me
When I judge, it is usually to do with something outside of myself that I sift thru in order to weigh it against my own judgment /value system in order to form an opinion on it. Then, after podering it, applying empathy and the big-picture process, I determine my judgment.
I keep in mind that everyone has different opinions about the same issue, (some similar or maybe the same), but inevidably we are all going to come out with slightly different judgments due to our own respective nature/nurture tendancies.
I gues that would be seen as tollerance or acceptance. Grace or whatever you want to call it.
It can also be viewed as respect or boundaries.
My judging score is very strong, and as such I am one of the strongest judgers here, which you might be able to gather from some of my posts. I have a very large problem with uncertainty, and as such I will do everything in my power to remove it (a very clear J trait).
maybe i haven't been around that long or haven't been paying attention (very possible, lol) but i'm not getting that vibe from you at all. you seem pretty laid back to me~
do you know exactly what you're going to do tomorrow?![]()
Also, I dislike to lead, but if I feel it necessary, then yes, I will take over. I just like to see things get done, or at least some planning going on. I am not the best planner, but please, somebody do it!
that's true, people probably won't ever completely agree on things since we all come from different backgrounds and are all seeing it from a slightly different perspective. thanks for answeringi have one more question, if you don't mind, how likely are you to change your mind once you've decided on something?
My J exhibits itself through uncertainty, and overall feelings of bitterness over failure to arrive at closure.
Externally, I am quite messy. However, there are many things about my thought process that are actually quite methodical. I like to plan.
I think the "judging" function of infjs is a bit muddled because we are generally too people oriented to seem very judger, which is a task-oriented function.
I am very very goal-oriented. I am lazy, and a procrastinator, but somehow goal oriented.

I don't like to change my mind once I've decided something, and I tend to use "confirmation bias" in order to avoid putting myself in position to change that decision.
interesting. so you just want things to get done and don't really care who does it. i think being goal oriented is an admirable trait, btw. i have many dreams i'd like to one day acheive, but it's just not in me to create a structured, TIMED plan and carry it through to completion. i wish i could. lack of focus is the antithesis to productivity! :/
thanks for answering![]()
I have preferences as to who does it (aka not me) but I won't step in until I feel it's necessary. I'm like a secondary leader--back up batteries if you will.
The odd thing is, a lot of us have issues "starting" rather than finishing (that's another thread). Haha very true. I'm not the most productive person, though. I just like planning--it makes me feel less anxious, but I don't necessarily follow the plans super strictly. Wow lol my judging says that your miniscules look odd.
Be like frezned and use MAJUSCULEESSSS (it's a silly youtube video, ignore this).
Thing is I assume responsibility a lot of times and I'm more of planner..but I'm very messy, random, laid-back and I often procrastinate. INFJ's are said to the least J and most P of all J types so..
I guess necessary is when I see no progress being made.
When the anxiety of approaching deadlines makes me wanna scream. Other than that, I'm likely to just go with the flow.
Now I'm really not all that judger. I'm just judger b/c of these things:
list-making
expectation obsessed
colors (idk, I'm just very particular about shades. very)
I'm more likely to plan out something and say I'm going to do it, and never ever start it (just daydream about starting it), than start something and not finish it, although I do that sometimes...
It's hard for me to explain how I'm a judger.
It's only slightly expressed.
Yep, in fact I noticed today that I naturally plan in advance...it's following these plans that I suck at.
For instance, this forum wasn't included in my plans
ciao guys.
