I always need to know why! Even before I knew about personality types, I knew this about myself. A manager friend of mine once told me, "there are two types of people, ones who have to know why they are doing something and ones who don't care and just do what they are told because their boss told them to."
The only time I don't need to know why I am doing something is when I have planned to not have to know why. (ex. If I already know and trust the person to be correct about the subject and I don't care to know (already know or something else is more interesting to me that I am preoccupied with) or I don't have time to find out.
Also, anytime someone does something, I ask myself "why did they do that." It is a favorite past time of mine and a need. I am always pondering why something is the way it is and not just with people.
Are other INFJs this way to?
