I would like to see a chart of someone who is INFP like me but if you want, post your chart and personality type. Maybe somebody else who's the same type will post theirs it's interesting.

However ... my guess is that one would learn more by exploring our differences with (otherwise) similar personalities rather than by exploring the traits we share with them. ... (And, interestingly, that differing perspective might be a manifestation of the J vs P traits).

INFJ’s cognitive functions are Ni Fe Ti Se. Ni is introverted intuition, and the “inner world” is a universe of symbolisms. We intuitively connect “the dots”, and yet everything is also broken into “atoms”. Fe is extroverted feeling, and we gather and perceive information through understanding the values and feelings of other people. We often wait for inputs before forming our own opinion. We tend to focus on others during interactions, on understanding them and what motivates them. Then Ti is introverted thinking, we tend to need to structure our mind and logic by ourselves before rpesenting our thoughts. Lastly Se is extroverted sensing, meaning we also gather and perceive the outside world through our senses, but that’s the last function and we tend to have difficulty or develop this later.

Personally I find myself often in my own world. I do need to listen to various perspectives and inputs before forming my own opinion and often focus on others. Then I need to isolate and do it by myself when I beed to structure my thoughts and logic. Lastly, I find it hard to be on the outside world, Se is something I’m developing later.

However, although not aware of the Turbulent/Assertive traits in the MB test until now, I have strived for many years to have a more relaxed/assertive outlook (rather than be my natural turbulent worry-wort self). ... Yet, despite my desire (and long-term efforts) to be assertive, I still came out as turbulent in this test.

To be an INFJ is to read others well, grasping their emotional states and motivations in mere seconds. But others don’t seem to “get” INFJs as easily as they “get” them. INFJs often wish for someone to understand them as well as they understand others.

INFJs are highly perceptive of others, but they don’t just remember their coworker’s birthday or how they take their coffee. In fact, as big-picture thinkers, these small details may escape even the most observant INFJ! People of the INFJ personality use their intuition to penetrate below the surface. They get into other people’s heads and figure out what makes them tick. They often know when someone is lying even to themselves. INFJs aren’t consciously aware of how they know so much about other people — and they’ll probably never reveal just how deep their knowledge runs.

Graham,

Introvert/Extrovert is easy, right? Hemispheres.

Now the other stuff gets tricky.. I think the last 2 letters are key. FP and FJ are very different. But they are both Feeling types. You have a lot of Air in your chart.. If you read the description of INFP and INFJ from that website, would you say you're definitely INFJ? INFP description sounds like a description of empath to me. Can you relate to it? I think on another thread I saw you also had a similar result to mine (female archetypes, Lady).

Would this work (for last 2 letters)?

Feeling = water
Thinking = fire
Prospecting = air
Judging = earth

But perhaps you are right about this ----- "However ... my guess is that one would learn more by exploring our differences with (otherwise) similar personalities rather than by exploring the traits we share with them. ... (And, interestingly, that differing perspective might be a manifestation of the J vs P traits)."

FJ - water+earth

posted January 19, 2020 03:05 PM            

I once tested as one of the others, as well. I can't remember which.

I'm Fire/Air/Water. Aries/Gemini/Scorpio.

To be honest, it's actually quite complex and can take time to really pin down, often years. 16 personality types and other MBTI tests aren't a good way to find one's actual type, but it does provide a foundation for a starting point. And this theory has tons of different systems within it that it doesn't really have a total consensus, so while others can type a person under one particular system as an ENFP, for instance, another person may type that person as something else, perhaps an ESFJ under another system.

This is actually one thing I always do - look for similarities as opposed to differences. Maybe I shouldn't.

Water-Fire = Feeling-Thinking does work for me - but my work/career conditioned me to be objective rather than subjective. And, although Air-Earth = Prospecting-Judging also works for me, childhood-and-career conditioning has given me an outlook which is based upon Jupiter-Saturn (in Earth) rather than Uranus-Neptune-Venus (in Air). Thus, I aspire/try to be more objective and less judging - but, under stress, I will revert to my (conditioned) Feeling-Judging self.
