I wish this wasn't true with me. It's just not healthy to allow someone to screw you over hoping that they have the same sense as you do to be careful of other feelings and well being. My friends have labeled me naive for my "too trusting" trait and lack of sensing of danger. I always hope people look at themselves and their actions first.

Anyone have tons of acquaintances but a very select few you call friends?
Every time someone calls you with their problems, even though you didn't experience it, you try your best to give solutions?
Always look for the gentlest route to solving a problem to keep everyone at peace?
Can clearly think through tough situations when everyone is in complete panic?
Seek solitude and becomes uncomfortably quiet when angry as not to eat people alive or not able to argue in such a state?
Suck at hiding things from people you love and trust?
Enjoys group projects, organizing events and social events but can concentrate on something in solitude for hours on end?
Likes security(finance, love and home) and thinks about how their actions will affect the distant future?
Acts 10-20 years older then they are?
 
you know you're an infj when:

- people shake their heads at you a lot,
- you can't wait to be alone,
- it all seems so clear in your head, but never comes out your mouth in the same way,
- you wish you had a pause button so you had time to think through your response before you say it,
- you prefer to wite it all down than say it
- you think your MBTI code should be F.R.E.A.K
- you just know things, without explanation, enough to freak people out
- you want to save the world...without being noticed
- etc...
BRAVO! 10/10, I like this one.
 
I don't know if this is posted, but, you know you're an infj when you end up being nice to so many people individually that you can be overwhelmed by all the love that is returned.
You know you're an infj when someone comments that you are a nice person and are surprised by the compliment because you don't think as yourself as nice or loving, per se, but it just so happens that being nice is an innate part of your very being.
You know you're an infj if you are automatically drawn to play with young children or save wounded animals and then feel weird because no one shares your sentiments. (((I saved a baby squirrel the other day, and all my friend could say was how stupid it was, but I can't stop thinking about how its small form fit perfectly in my hand.)))
You know you are an infj when you are distracted by anything and everything, especially animals and nature.
 
Take the test on that one site where it gives you a chart, so I can look at the pretty graph and see how midway you are.
Oh my! A chart Nazi!!!!!!!

You mean this? http://www.mypersonality.info/tyler87/

On Topic: When you spend so much time thinking of all possible outcomes of a set of decisions that time passes by without you doing anything OR you end up making a last minute hasty decision that half of the time you end up regretting. That one is somewhat frustrating.

You care so much about your friends that you get nothing done, because you are stuck worrying about them.
Wow - yes, that is SO true. Then the sad part is that sometimes they don't even really appreciate your concern. It's like you're more concerned about them then they are for themselves.

I definitely take other people's worries and concerns as if they are my own. Its almost like I obsess over it without always consciously realizing it.

I saved a baby squirrel once too! It thought I was it's mommy! I fed it cheerios and brought it to a wild animal shelter. It loved me so much!

You feel like you always have to explain yourself... and then when you do - you always think that it makes more sense in your own head then when you verbally put it into words.

... so then you go back into "hiding" so you can write it down to sort your thoughts out and make it sounds better.
 
You know your an INFJ when you kill a snake when you were younger and cried about it for days. You know you're an INFJ when you put back a baby bird that has fallen out of the nest and the momma never comes back. You know you're an INFJ when you move a baby bunny that is too afraid to move from getting hit by a lawn mower and worry if the momma will ever care for it again.
 
You know you're an INFJ when everything you do is wrong, although you had good intentions.
Then you really know you're an INFJ if you beat yourself up about it for ages afterwards.
You also know you're an INFJ when all you really want, deep down, is to be loved and love someone in return.
It further confirms you are an INFJ when you feel depressed because you think you are too different to be loved.
Welcome to my reality.

Ok, this thread totally died out and I think it's a good one that I should keep going with ideas...

So just a few things I've noticed with INFJs so far in comparison to other types:
~ serious responses
~ more structure and perhaps a bit more literal than, say, INFPs

Here's one...
- You know you're an INFJ if you write something then before posting you stop to reread it to be sure that what you have written is grammatically correct.
- You know you're an INFJ if you've ever found yourself lonely in a room full of people.
- You know you're an INFJ if you suddenly feel a sense of relief with every person that leaves the group.
- You know you're an INFJ if you find yourself falling into a deep thought of ideas and then later wake up and realize you're lacking real friends then get depressed.
- You know you're an INFJ if you are very stubborn in your ideas.
- You know you're an INFJ if you consistently have trouble enjoying the moment because you are always looking ahead at what will be to figure out what you need to do today in order to reach the future outcome.
- ... and sometimes you'll look back to the past instead of living in the present as well.
- You know you're an INFJ if you catch yourself trying to read people to figure out what they internally think and feel by simply observing them.
- You know you're an INFJ when someone asks you about a person you just met a week ago and you can list off several things about that person even if you have barely talked to them.
- You know you're an INFJ if you find yourself being too cautious because you are too busy looking ahead at what could be.


Ok, I think that's all I can think of right now... anybody else??:happy:
 
You know you're an INFJ when you've just got your final grade back (which turned out to be a 9,7) and instead of being absolutely ecstatic, you get incredibly pissed off because this means if you had only scored a 6,8 instead of a 6.0 for the previous test you would have passed the year with honors. You normally never score below 7.0!

You really know you're an INFJ when you start to feel guilty about getting pissed off by a near-perfect grade, while you already know 80% of the class didn't even pass the exam at all, let alone have a chance to make it to the next year.

Oh well.

You know you're an INFJ when your standards for yourself are much, much higher than for anyone else. Yeah, I understand.

Yeah.. and its not always necessarily your grades, but just with life in general.
 
You know you're an INFJ, when your boyfriend reads part of a description of INFJ that reads "They are intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and highly complex, sometimes puzzling even to themselves. They have an orderly view toward the world, but are internally arranged in a complex way that only they can understand. People often find INFJ's very difficult to understand" And your boyfriend responds with "Can I have an Amen and a halleluyah on this one ladies and gentlemen!!!"
