It's definitely a good feeling .

Interesting video in how our types use Ni differently based on our second function - https://personalityhacker.com/phq-qu...-all-nj-types/.

Thanks! I'll check it out after I'm done being a limo driver for Sara. I had to pick her up at 11 from school and then bring her back at 12:30. She's ditching some Spanish thing she doesn't have to attend, lol. No one is going to be there and she has a huge test at 1 in another class so she's using this time to study more right before the test.

Great video. Introverted Intuition... relationship... very strong, fleshed out... forecast... multiple perspectives... disconnect from own perspective, go into other peoples' perspective.

Vulnerable to other people's input... taking it in, capturing it for later. This is why I watch a movie or TV show and I need time to process everything. It takes some time for me to formulate my thoughts before I can easily discuss. It's also why I like to write things down so I don't forget what I'm taking in and writing helps me take it in, understand and express. A couple people on this very board make fun of me for writing detailed thoughts on shows. It's not a quirk in the least bit for me. It's the personalty type stuff.

The weird thing about Ni dominant people is that we could live with contradictions and it would make sense in our head. Though for others it might not. Especially for INTJs. We could be both logical and spiritual in a very weird way.

Writing definitely helps . It's like you need to write down everything first and only then you can figure out what you could skip and what you can't.

Ni is a bit slow in the beginning . We need time to figure out stuff. Especially new stuff that we had not touched on before.

This is so bang on it's crazy. I cannot believe I thought I was ever anything else but INFJ. Thank you for not putting up with it.

This cracks me up because it's really so bang on, LOL:

That does not mean that they care a lot about people or their emotions. They might just find murder something not worth their time. I checked that thread and the most people there have Extroverted Sensing function which is all about action. This is the function that is the most about action and being doer. Oh for sure. Plus as Introverted Intuition users we pick up energy the best.

Makes a ton of sense.

When did you start studying this, by the way? You could take over the job or work with the woman who is the specialist at the U who studies and does research in this area, lol.

Why do you think there's so many Sensors who are Killers again?

Totally us, Koni...

Disembodiment Of all types, INFJs (and INTJs) are the most detached and disconnected from their own bodies. Not only is their S function inferior, but INFJs do not have Si in their functional stack (Or, more technically, Si might be considered their last/eighth function), which is the function that contributes an internal sense of one’s body. INFJs commonly report being plagued by the sense that their body is not really a part of them. In his book, Jung’s Four and Some Philosophers, Thomas King writes of the Introverted Intuitive: “his hands are alien to him and his body unfamiliar.” Because of their detachment from their physicality, INFJs may have nightmares about unexpected declines in their health. One INFJ, for instance, recounted to me his recurrent dreams of his teeth falling out. Another reported her fear that she might develop a disease and be unaware or ignorant of the symptoms until it was too late. Other INFJs report worrying that their obliviousness to physical reality might compromise the safety or well-being of their children. INFJs may forget to eat regularly and appear undernourished, or they may overeat because of lack of attention to how much they are eating. To compensate for this mind-body disconnect, they may subject themselves to overly strict, even obsessive, regimens of diet and exercise. Like other types, when trying deal with inferior-related issues, they are wont to go to extremes.

I find it hard to read, but from what I read it is bang on . Thanks for posting. Do you think that we should add this to the OP?

[jediwands]

Koni, this is so amusing.

This guy is awesome. Classic INFP. He couldn’t explain his INFP better. His additional information on INFJ is so bang on too. If I would have watched this video months ago I wouldn’t have ever thought I was an INFP. Charmimg dude but flaky just like you mentioned INFPs are.

His travel plans without any organization would kill me, lol. His all over the place discussing different topics at once would put me in a mental health center, lol. Changing a topic abruptly would make me want to hit him. How he said INFJs need time to think about an answer. Yes! LOL. Is your best friend like this guy? I can see why INFPs are fun but I am just not like them. The eccentric type of I don’t give a crap live and let be personality. Even the dress. They kind of remind me of a hippie in a way... strong feelings, don’t care what people think even if they care about people, nothing planned at all because they love keeping options open, live in the moment, etc.

Just SO not me. This guy deserves an award for clearly describing who he is as an INFP and on the other side, explaining how he’s clearly not an INFJ.

The first time I came across to MBTI was back in 2008 and the test thought that I am ISTJ which is so funny because I do not use Si at all. Then I think I tested myself again in 2014 or something like that and I started reading further on cognitive functions and all that. Now I even find some readings that actually relate the MBTI theory to specific processes in the brain. Neurologists explain that the way the brain processes information actually determines our MBTI type.

Why do you think there's so many Sensors who are Killers again?

Most of those Sensors have dominant Extroverted Sensing function. This is the function that is the most about living in the moment, taking action, not thinking about the future etc. It's about enjoying the life at its fullest, life of the party and all that. They are also risk takers the most.

I thought about it but I can’t find one small enough that’s clear since like you said it’s so hard to read. If you find something you want to add to OP, please do!

Definitely . I actually had to artificially develop this because of my poor diet regime causing stomach issues. It does explain how I neglect things though. I am not aware of being tired until I sleep for 12 hours causing me to ask myself why I needed the sleep .

J types could seem indecisive or flaky too, but there is difference. If I am flaky I hate it. I always feel that I need to be more and more organized. P types feel that too much organization is stressful. And by too much they include stuff like being on time. Though my best friend's flakiness is not that pronounced. He is always on time (because he knows that I hate to wait) and he would never go to a trip that is unplanned with me (because he knows that I do not work that way). But then again I also not to ask him to plan it the way I want it to planned. For him the planning we do is enough, for me this is just a rough idea on what we will do and I refine it million times in my head additionally . On top of that during said trip I check if we are following the plan or leave behind . I do it naturally and I can't help it.

His travel plans without any organization would kill me, lol.

Exactly!

His all over the place discussing different topics at once would put me in a mental health center, lol. Changing a topic abruptly would make me want to hit him.

This is Extroverted Intuition for you. This is what I meant when I said that people might suggest that we need Ne users for balance, but they make me go insane for long periods of time . This guy that M is close to at work is like that and I just know that I would be completely drained if I follow his train of thought for like 2-3 hours straight.

Is your best friend like this guy? I can see why INFPs are fun but I am just not like them. The eccentric type of I don’t give a crap live and let be personality. Even the dress. They kind of remind me of a hippie in a way... strong feelings, don’t care what people think even if they care about people, nothing planned at all because they love keeping options open, live in the moment, etc.

My best friend is not that extreme. I think that thanks to me he had developed his last function (Extroverted Thinking) because he is not like that. He does not jump that much from topic to topic, but his humor is like that and he is definitely better in brainstorming and coming up with all sort of ideas. He is sometimes too much in Introverted Feeling so he focuses on some emotion or something that happened and could obsess and obsess over it. Like we have work issues in the same time. My issue is discussed 5 minutes, his - 2 hours. Makes me go insane sometimes .

He is more organized than that dude though but that is mostly thanks also to his education and work. He works in software company too and he has leading/coordinating role of a team of 5 people so he can't be too random you know.

He is definitely better at improvising. He does not have the social anxiety I have of meetings, presentations and all that because he could wing it. I stress so much about it and always feel unprepared. He always feels fine .

I wonder why testing can be so wrong. Why even produce online testing when they can be so inaccurate. I also know sometimes it simply comes down to one question, too. One answer can affect your result. Interesting what neurologists say.

Makes sense about Sensors. Would you say they are more emotional overall?
