  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I remember taking one of those test a while back, can not remeber what I was classed as.

Any ideas on where to retake it? just out of cuiriosity?
This is the best online inventory I know of, but you should be aware that it isn't the full test. The full and official test is longer and can only be administered by specially-licensed people. With that said, however, I think this one is pretty accurate. I recommend the page I linked above for reliable personality descriptions -- just change the "infj" in the URL to your personality type.

true, too people exactly like one another would probably drive eachoter insane!
Yeah. Like, I think it would be good for me to be with someone more extroverted (E) and more organized (J). But I hope I have a few things to bring to the table, too. ;) :D

I linked one up above that's pretty good. Just remember that the full test is only available from someone who is specially trained in the inventory.

Okay, well you guys are probably not a good match then

*the romantic matchmaker in me sobs*

However, since you are so rare, you could make this thread a sort of 'social' place for all INFJ's or INFs. Then you can find the 1% of CF members who totally understand you.

:)


Ohhhh, I love a happy ending!

Either some of these sights are just making stuff up, or there must be some personalities out that account for some 20% of the population each, from mine:

Found in about 1 percent of the general population, the INTJs live in an introspective reality, focusing on possibilities, using thinking in the form of empirical logic, and preferring that events and people serve some positive use.

so I need an ENTP.


Lol, Mina, maybe we need more than red lights on our foreheads but also our personality letters stamped on our foreheads. :p (everyone of course)
What a novel idea! I suppose I would have to find out what I am though first. I would hate to feel locked in by a personality test though, if that makes sense. I would probably rebel against what a test said i was. I think if if I found out what I was, I'd have even more of a problem with who i was.

Portrait of an INFJ - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging
(Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Feeling)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Protector

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.

INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.

But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.

Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.

In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.

The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

This describes me better then I ever could have described myself if asked to do it in similar terms. I was like :eek:

This whole thing is extremly encouraging :)

EDIT:
:doh: I thought you said you were one too mac. lol. sorry. Oh well - you're a nice person so you're easy to undersand anyway ;)

Hmm... Kiersey seems to think that ENTP would be a good match for INFJ. (ESTP is mentioned, too, but the profile for that type doesn't recommend INFJ.)

The identical personality (were such theoretically possible) probably wouldn't be a good fit -- we need at least some complementarity.

I don't know if I would go as far as he does. I find that the best marriages that I have seen have some similarities and some differences. One friend is INTJ, and his wife is INFJ, and they work great together. Another pastor friend is ENFP and his wife is INFJ. Being an INFJ, I would have to say that I am usually more drawn to those who would test as ENFP - a fellow idealist, but more outspoken about ideals and easier with the people than I could ever be. But that's just my take.

...I always did feel like the odd one out and have struggled to fit in even though I like people and have always been a very friendly/easy going person.
...

I wonder if you've got some of the same thing going that I do -- being a friendly, easy-going people person makes it seem like we're extroverted. But really, we have to refuel with alone time, which is the total opposite of a true extrovert. Whenever someone describes me as "outgoing," I'm all... :confused: But it happens with some frequency.
