INFJ
Ok so I did tests, watched some Frank James vidyas, lurked for a while here but still not sure if I should slap that INFJ sticker on my head. How many ppl here are as INFJ btw?

I am tripping hard reading all those characteristics on this type, lot of them rings the bells for me. Excited and sceptical at the same time. I feel like sharing some of my 'weirder' one traits, just to see if anyones relate:

- I am extrovert, really. They ask me out for a spontaneous vacation trip to another city for week? Yeah, no-brainer. Although after half of the first day, social fuel goes brrr (basically, lemme be alone)
- I am introvert, really. I havent arranged any meeting with anyone in week and I enjoy myself. Also, I make sure I am busy (exams coming, u know, no time for parties :'( )
- first meeting with new people, Im like (insert Jamal voice) "YOOLOOO". I am emotional as a baby, joke, ask many questions. I am random as f--. Then, the second phase happens - thinking 'bru, I dunno thats strange, people talk about so simple things it gets boring' (starts to fade away from conversation). Then I eventually close my circus and feel like abandoning this situation.
- I eventually forget about people after meeting them, fading into my own word. Partly because it involves so much energy to be "E" type while socialising. When I meet again the person I got to know, even a bit better, I feel as if I must get to know them all over again (as if we never met before, makes sense...?)
- I feel pain and convultions on almost bodily level when I remind myself something weird I said or done, usually before sleep. Overthinking sometimes.
- I LOVE staring into lecturers eyes while attending a class. I make sure that she feels my interest. I also apply it to to students that eg. make presentation as I feel their pain & stress (head-nodding to them, smile with eyes etc.)
- I wonder how the f- I can be so happy all alone, so grateful for what I have while I have only literally 1-3 close friends (+ I am abroad right now so not much besides 'small talk' with my roommates)
- I feel baaaad for gossiping, never understood why people do it, and I calmly point out when somebody in the group start to get nasty like that - not noice!
- I think I make some people uncomfortable by being too open at he beggining
- I also like deep eye stares, that makes some people uncomfortable (sometimes I get "why r u staring at me, like I am stupid or something?!")
- always had unusual hobbies, a lot of different hobbies, obsessive thoughts on one fixed subject for a long period of time
- pondering on the meaning of the universe, suddenly I become interested in physics (and claim I invented new gravity theory, based on osmosis but on cosmic scale)
- I always liked to impersonate fictional characters that made me laugh or intrigue me. I could imagine, after watching insightful movie, that I am this person and I will pretend for a few weeks or months to be him (like for real, crazy innit?)
- I allways wonder how people can be so shallow, like endlessly watch Netflix or scroll socials.. why?! What about meaning of life, pursuing passion?!?!
- I never ever really used social media besides neccesary information, but its still painful to open them and have to scroll. Of course , besides conversation with my best friend that are allways random, ridiculous (or actually too deep for him so he switch off :sob:)

Ok I am wasting my time I have to make plans for studying soo I will add some bulletpoints later. Have a good day yall!



Jeeez, why am I posting this anyway. What am I doing with my lyfe.
 
Buuut I never had large circle of friends, I prefer talking 1 on 1 with someone. Always sticked to only one friend that I solely talk to during all my education periods in different schools. They were always introverted types. Also, I never really fit anywhere and tried to by changing my behaviour depending on person I interact with (chameleon skills is one of the most relatable feature so far). I feel as if my extroverted functions are like movie acting and somewhat .. forced? As if I need to prove myself I am not introverted that much. So then, I guess I am ambivert?

ANFJ/P maybe?

- I can go all day in school being most quiet kid in class, feeling too deeply what other people around me do and say (partially due to being bullied good few times). But when I came back home I can be all open and talkative, especially when not in crowd.
- Family meeting are WORST. I just sit there, say nothing and pretend to be 30 y.o. adult by going into rational/logical character when asked about something. Exhausting.

I partially lack ability to express my problems and true emotion most of the time, as it could make someone uncomfortable or I cant really nail down what is really my problem at the moment. Or I dont really have problems, I dont know. Also, most of the things I think about doesnt come out as talk, rather new creative project as an outcome that I do alone in my privacy.


What is the best/most complex test that shows the most objective image of type by the way?
