  1. INTP Forum - The Thinkers
    I'm a classic INTP brain who has to deal with an ESTJ father. My father is what you would imagine an ESTJ to be: bully-like tendencies, ex-military, loud mouth and someone who attracts a lot of people. I love him and he loves me, but we don't connect. He is able to see only surface things...
  2. Education & Career Talk
    I was recently musing on the thinking patterns I've noticed over the years by observing the way people communicate. One thing that stands out is that people tend to assume things about what others mean or are thinking, even with zero justification for their assumptions. It seems very...
  3. INFJ Forum - The Protectors
    I’ve been having a problem for quite awhile now with my step sister who has been living with us for a year now. I made a post months ago but that problem was solved with communication. Or at least I thought it was. I’m use to dealing with passive aggressive people in the outside world but it’s...
  4. ENFP Forum - The Inspirers
    4 months ago I reconnected with my long lost love from 30 years ago. Back then, we had 1 kiss and that was it but I've always held him in my heart - and it turns out he has always felt exactly the same! We've both been married, had kids and divorced and whilst he lives in Australia, I'm in the...
  5. Other Personality Theories
    I was recently given the DOPE test and found that my result reflected so much about my type that I previously needed answered. The test measures your communication style and I think it is used for the purposes of team building. I am an INFJ and and it seems to be commonly accepted that since...
  6. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    So, just starting this. I have a major problem. I fell out of love with my boyfriend and I don't know what to do. It's not like anything was wrong. I just... don't feel it anymore. And I feel so bad. I fell for him really fast, and my heart fluttered for everything he did, but... omg I feel...
  7. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    Hi everyone! I recently started dating an INFP male and was hoping to get some advice on how to build trust with him and reassure him when he worries about our relationship. Ironically, I am also an INFP male, and understand where he is coming from, but I'm not sure exactly how to quell his...
  8. Advice Center
    Hey, all. I wanted to hear what you do to avoid and navigate challenging post responses. I am new (as you can see), and I also made a post in haste a bit ago and I didn't put enough thought into how it might be perceived. I was completely misunderstood by some. I felt attacked, but was able...
  9. ENFP Forum - The Inspirers
    I wonder what you other ENFPs think of texting? Does it increase your sense of connectiveness? You can shoot quick messages to friends (or if like me, send the same text to a group) in an efficient way? Or perhaps do you see texting as a curse that robs us of voice or in-person communication...
  10. INFJ Forum - The Protectors
    Just a random thought I had this morning and figured I'd ask the INFJ crew. I'm not just talking a romantic level, but on any level, do you find if someone is texting you and uses a lot of emojis or expressive/excitable language (lots of exclamation points for example) is it off-putting or...
  11. ENFP Forum - The Inspirers
    I was under the impression ENFPs can talk for hours and never tire, but after seeing this post on Pinterest, it made me question my previous understanding: So could it be true? Do ENFPs loathe small-talk?
  12. ISFJ Forum - The Nurturers
    Hi dear Members, especially ISFJs I'm a newbie, both at the Cafe and mbti. It has been a couple of weeks I learned about the 16 personalities and eversince have thrown myself into the subject. After a 5 year long relationship with my dear ISFJ there is still a lot to learn and the pieces are...
  13. ENFP Forum - The Inspirers
    Dear wonderful ENFPs, I was so lucky/unlucky to fall for one of you against my better judgement. What a great connection and ease of communication, honesty, trust, understanding and free flow of jokes. We live far apart and he is in a relationship for the last few months. I would never want to...
  14. Myers Briggs Forum
    Hey guys, I've just wrote a kindle book that I think can help all of you. It is called "Introvert: How Introverts Can Improve Social Skills, Communicate Effectively, Make Friends, Enhance Relationships & Conquer Stress And Anxiety In Any Social Situation". If you're interested in the book...
  15. Myers Briggs Forum
    Is there a way to type people through observation by the way they communicate ?
  16. INFJ Forum - The Protectors
    I am close with four INFJs (gasp, I know I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have found four of the rarest unicorns in just the few years I've been alive), and there's a pattern I've begun to notice among them. Of the four, two of them are significantly better at verbal communication than...
  17. INFP Forum - The Idealists
    Whether its hypothetical or based on true experiences, INFPs please share. Want to know more about what can provoke INFP into feeling uncomfortable and maybe laying on feelings of stress. Right now, I'm in a situation where I'm being assessed on my ability to participate in group discussion of...
  18. Myers Briggs Forum
    Question, I'm an INTJ living with a healthy INFJ-a (we get along great) and an unhealthy ENFJ-t, possible ESFJ. My ENFJ roommate is usually emotionally distant, overly talkative (in my mind anyway) and gives off a kind of 'fake' persona of cheerfulness. She always wants to give advice on what...
  19. Type 4 Forum - The Individualist
    Below is a long tale of my legnthy journey coming to terms with my type 4 unhealthy responses to both healthy and unhealthy type 9-leadership. I was recently introduced to the Enneagram and have been exploding with insights, many of them perhaps pure bullshit! I don't expect any of you will make...
