"I have noted that is a tendancy for some of the INFJs I know to be unable to accept that people both have a right to their own opinion and a right to voice that as they so choose.
Is this Fe run wild or just some other unhealthy INFJ behaviour from an unhealthy INFJ?
The mind does boggle."
This can be a bit of a conundrum. The INFJ as a personality is, as well all know, secondarily controlled by Fe. So INFJs do have a tendency to want to quiet the individual people who are in a sense going against the grain of the group. The difference is, (where Ni comes in), what are their motives? Is the group being unreasonable, and the person coming across harsher than they mean? Is the person just causing trouble just because they want to? I think this is where the notion of INFJs being "complex" come in, when really most of us aren't that complex at all, just how we appear. Our Fe, what we show to the external world, will make us want to shut out the dissenting opinions, taking away their right to speak, and in some cases their right to their opinions. ("shut up! You're wrong and an idiot, and thats that!") But then, you have the dominant Ni that seeks to understand all that is, so if the Ni dictates that someone does hold a valid opinion, perhaps one it either finds kinship in, it will then say "let them speak!" So here we have a person who half the time is shutting people up, the other half allowing them to speak at the weirdest times. INFJs HATE it when people are put into boxes, not in an INFP sense, but in the sense of people are afraid to speak their mind, due to the consequences placed upon the act of speaking out. Ni wants the truth to be held, and the Fe to spread to the people. Can an INFJ act immaturely and say "you have no right to that opinion!" (or in a literal sense) "you have no right to voice that!" ? Yes. However, I'm more likely to place my chips on the XSFJ type to speak that, partly because an NiFe person is always going to understand where someone comes from, so they are going to let more people speak out, even if its against what the INFJ believes in, then most.
