INFP Stuff

Which letter of INFP do you think is the most self-defining for you?

Introverted
iNtuitive
Feeling
Perceiving

-or is it the combination?

Is there a particular one that you think dominates in your blogging?

For me I think that the answer to both questions is intuitive.

Whenever I've taken any version of the Meyers-Briggs test over the past several years, my scores on Introverted vs. Extroverted and Perceiving vs. Judging are fairly close to center, just barely edging into the I and P areas, respectively, while my scores on iNtuitive vs. Sensing and Feeling vs. Thinking are way into the NF range.; ▶ Reply to This

I think the one that dominates my blogging is introverted (I'm blogging instead of out talking to people and doing stuff with them in person!).; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by TK on November 8, 2007 at 8:44pm: Hmm... I think I have to second Sassy on the package answer. With the exception of the I. I'm generally a borderline introvert/extrovert (making me by far the most outgoing person in my family, ironically enough), some years I'm pretty heavily I, some years I score in the E range. Although that seems to affect my real world social life a lot more than my virtual or imaginary lives.; ▶ Reply to This

Writing is a release for the complex and confusing emotions that I experience in a world that seems to want want want all the time. Seldom time for inner exploration and evaluation. Photography is the other outlet. Expression with out words.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Lisa W. on November 15, 2007 at 4:52pm: Like Country Dawn, I am heavily introverted and intuitive. And quite content that way much to the chagrin of my very EEEEE husband. Give me my coffee, kitty cats, laptop, some books and Ipod and I am a happy chick. YEY for being INFP (or, as I call it, "I need frigging PEACE" hehe); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Nina on November 17, 2007 at 6:39pm: For me, the I and the P are slightly negotiable. The I and F are not. It's gratifying to know there are so few people who are similar to me, and also gratifying to know that you all are.

That is, I do get out of the house, but half of the time it is to go hang out with some fellow introvert that I met online! You can imagine our conversations.

Otherwise, I think iNtuition drives most everything I write; even the rational arguments I sometimes make! I can intuit a position or an answer way before I know the rational way to it, and so naturally I suspect everyone who claims to be "reasonable" is actually dressing up their intuitions in this idolized thing we call logical discourse. Needless to say, I think much of it is a crock. But I will not argue with you if you do not feel the same way, since I am an Introverted, iNtuitive guy. : ); ▶ Reply to This
