• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

During college I noticed a deep love for missions, youth ministry, theology and philosophy. I could never really pinpoint if I was left or right brained as I am comfortable with logic and creativity. This test has helped me understand that I am both. As a Christian I found it interesting that Nathan the Prophet was INFJ and that writing, counseling, and teaching are the main interest for ones such as ourselves. If I don't have pen in hand, I go inane anyone else like that? LOL

Intuition can be introverted or extroverted (it is introverted for J-types and extraverted for P-types, whether you are an INxx or ENxx) but it is INFJ's and INTJ's preference for their Introverted function, that is, Intuition, that makes them click. You can look up this process of introverted intuiting as a cognitive function to see how it affects the way you think. NFs in general may also tend to seek each other out for a shared idealistic perspective and desire for harmony.

Since we are in a self-esteem forum, for what it's worth, INFJs, I envy you. You have a complexity of personality, are extremely insightful, and have an affinity for harmony and justice that allows you to have a unique role among people. You are quiet leaders and valuable friends. It might get lonely at times but I feel that it would be very rewarding. I know (in my head) that each personality type has its own giftings and Achilles' heels but for a long time I have wanted to be you. I cannot, which is why I have to learn to actualise the potential of my own person but, INFJs, take heart, you are loved and you are needed.

I found I was an INFJ.And I'm an extreme loner. I feel weird because I'm a female and it seems men are more prone to being introverted then women and that's more accepted in society.

I'm an INFJ. I've come to accept that the only one who will never misunderstand me is God. I don't know any other INFJs, and I've only seen evidence of them on the internet. So I feel you.
Sometimes it's like you're an alien to everyone else. What I don't understand, is why I get everybody, but no one gets me? Instead of feeling treasured for my unique perspective (and a darn tootin' effective and reasonable one), I feel like sometimes I just get pushed into a corner because no one wants to take the time or effort to understand me. No one asks for clarification, no one is interested in what I have to bring. Mind, this is NOT true of everyone, and not all the time, but occasionally I feel that way, and it frustrates me because I know that they can benefit from hearing me.
I love to spend time with my family, because they've known me for so long, they've had to learn to 'get' me. My middle sister is an INFP, so we get along great too. We share a lot of common interests and tendencies.
Sorry for being so wordy.

According to that quiz I'm an INFJ but only moderately so in all four letters lol. I've never really put a lot of stock in personality quizzes.

I'm pretty introverted in that I love my alone time and prefer reading or just watching a movie to going out, but I do like to go out too. And I can be pretty loud when I'm with my friends..... Sooooo I'm not sure where that puts me hahahaha.
