I've noticed and discussed this with an INFJ friend that we each adapt ourselves - our demeanor, our speech, even in an odd kind of way our level of consciousness it seems - to different social situations.
For example, in a conversation with a likeminded enthusiastic student or teacher I will conduct my self very differently than if I was having a conversation with a wondering, hiking-pack-carrying homeless kid in downtown Portland.
I feel that for me to be able to relate with the other person and sometimes to put them at ease I must undergo this shift, this color change.
So, I'm curious, do any of you do this as well? Are you a social chameleon?
