Classes just started this week for me- and this happened:
In my Philosophy: Moral Questions (undergrad GE) class, the professor wrote the details of the class on the board, as well as "INFP" (was on top) and "ESFP" (below, directly under INFP). I was watching him the entire time, and I recognized them immediately- hoping that I was in the right classroom. He began is "Intro to this class" speech- he was very energetic and entertaining. He asked the class if anyone knew what these letters were, and after waiting a while, I raised my hand and gave him an answer. He then told a very amusing and very brilliant story about how he is INFP, and his brother is ESFP. He then said, "I'm telling you all this so you can understand how I grade. I wouldn't be like my brother and give you a four-page handout on what you must do to get an A. I can't tell you exactly what makes an A paper- but when I see it, I know it. Write me a smart paper."
What do you think an INFP would like to see in a philosophy paper? Is there anything that I should avoid? I figured that he let us know his MBTI type so that we could benefit from it, and I don't know of any other INFPs to question. I also haven't researched in-depth about INFPs. Any advice would be extremely helpful! Thank you!
