  • 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

Let's not forget the greatest INFJ of all time: Holden Caulfield from the book 'The Catcher in the Rye.' No other character has made me laugh as much as he did.
I'm great at making people laugh. I'm not sure that is an INFJ character trait though. I am just freakin' hilarious! :D

ENFP here.

The Inspirer

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

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

Yep, describes me very well :)

I don't know if I would call him the greatest INFJ of all time. I know of some others that would be really good examples - some more contemporary than others...

I would say that many of the writing prophets were likely of the INFJ temperament... specifically Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and even Nathan. Of the disciples, I would think John would fit in the best with this temperament.

In movies/stories/TV shows, I think of John Coffee from The Green Mile, Felix Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica, MICHAEL SCOFIELD from Prison Break... I can't think of any others off the top of my head at the moment, though.

Do you think being INFJ is a blessing or a curse?

Internalising everything makes life really difficult at times.

How about a double edged sword, that could be a blessing OR a curse, depending on the context?

My fellow INFJ's, i have had the unique opportunity to see another INFJ going through his paces, and it is like looking in a mirror at times.

Do you identify with the following:

1) I went to a restuarant with an INFJ, and I crumpled up the straw wrapper into a small ball with no protrusions, only to notice that the other INFJ had done exactly the same.

2) Filling up silent space by pacing up and down with arms folded behind back.

I'll see if I can remember any others and post them later.

For all my fellow single INFJ's out there...
Her is a verse of poetry I found oon the net quoted in conjunction with being INFJ and searching for a life partner:

"When you see through life's illusion
there lies the danger
And your perfect lover looks like a perfect fool
And you go running off
In search of a perfect stranger"
Jackson Brown

:( (Hope you enjoy it?LOL)

did you not answer some of the questions or something?
no, i answered all of them :) i'm just a dichotomy i suppose.

my mother is licensed to proctor the official test so i'll take the real thing from her. I've taken other versions of the Kiersey(sp) sorter about 6 times in the past 5 years and always come up something different depending on my mood and stage of life.
