People often talk about doing things for an ideal, though it can be confusing as to who those ideals belong. The government's ideal is one where citizens work for the collective good, often at the discretion of political leaders, as in boosting national strength in technology, math and science...

Of course, as an ENFP, I love being out there, walking through the garden of life, gathering exciting, new and meaningful experiences in my basket. However, dating isn't really my thing. I see it as a box I'm expected to fit in, while I'd much rather just let things be from the moment I meet...

Hello, I would like to know how do you treat your friends? I have seen differences in how friends are treated by people of different cultures. Example- -- People from Asia and Middle East treat friends like extended family. They get invited to family events. Friends are made with the intention...

People involved: (No judging :laughing:) Long Post Ahead Me: Senior, ENTP The Girl: Sophomore, INFP The Sister: Freshman, ENFJ My Friends: Mix of Seniors and Juniors So I was dating this INFP girl starting last July and we were pretty much going good. There came to a point where we were...

What are your reasons or reasons in life for your chosen political alignment or ideology? How did you find it was for you? My story or short story of how I became involved in my current aligned movement and ideology: I'm a type 6w7 Turbulent Variant INFP and happen to be loyal to the Socialist...

Hi, fellow INTJs. I'll try not to make this neither too boring or too long. All my life I've had this huge thirst to know everything. And I feel like I'm absolutely powerless until I do, specially since my best friend is an ENTP and I keep thinking the guy knows everything, therefore I always...

In the book Personality Types: Jung's Model of Typology, Daryl Sharp writes: "Images in the introverted thinker are tied to thoughts and ideals; images in the introverted feeling type manifest as values." Images are referred to as basically the internal projections of either introverted...

So lets hear it. If you could have a partner with all the personality traits you would want, what would they be? :)

I read somewhere that an INFJ knows what is logical, reasonable and most likely realistic but even knowing this, seems to throw it all away for their wild fantasies, dreams or ideals. I definitely know it's true for me and it puts me in a bad place. Especially when you like someone you can't be...

Hello, all. I'm in a less down mood now that I know what is going on. (See the following thread if you care to see the state of mind I was recently in. Thanks to those of you who shared words of kindness despite my whining. It's good to let things out and be accepted. And encouraged. And...

I heard a saying that when it comes someones emotional state, if you can't change your emotional state than your addicted to it. This statement sets my brain chemistry on fire because i agree with it entirely. Do most INFP's fall back into a melancholic state when there ideals are not...

Am I the only one who doesn't like how MBTI descriptions talk more in terms of values/ideals in the INFP description than the ISFP one? Yes, Ne does look for new possibilities, but Se is not *too* different---rather than searching for possibilities, it searches for opportunities of action. The...

I'm having some REALLY strange feelings now. I think it's probably a Fi wake-up-call, if that's what you wanna call it. I just had a huge deja vu of me in 5th grade as a social outcast, weird, awkward, etc... I was a total naturalist; I didn't believe in makeup, certain brands (IE Abercrombie...

I have been writing since I was 7 years old. Stories. Even now there is not a day that goes by where I do not write. I just like writing. It's not the greatest. But I still like writing. I was working on this story where the main character is like an INFJ even before I knew there was such a...

So an odd thought popped into my head that I think warrants it's own thread. INFPs are already known to have staunchly entrenched ideals and refuse to budge from them with almost inhuman obstinance at times. I'm guilty of this many times over, but one thing really doesn't make sense though...

Hello INFPs, I did a Myers-Briggs personality thingy and came out INFP. Made me feel pretty good about myself and sometimes still does. But today I came here to ask you for help:sad:. I am a rather idealistic person... and I think I was led to believe in the wrong ideals. I put a lot work...

Hello Infj's. There are many qualities about you that I admire and love. Right now I happen to be posting about one infj trait that confuses me, but don't think that I look down on you for it because we all have differing traits. I've noticed that infj's have exceptionally high ideals when it...

I am really inspired by this awesome, catalystic thread (thanks to the OP!) to create this new thread, and see what you all think about this: Have any of you ever heard of The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) ? and watched the very recent widely-successful independent-thearetical worldwide release of...

What is it that you daydream about? What are your secret hopes and wishes? What do you immagine for your future, or the future of the world? What is your vision? What are your goals? What dreams are you hoping will come true? It doesn't matter how crazy or impossible, I want to hear them...
