Jung's-Myers-Brigg's Typology

[rosely]

I'm lucky? In what way? Just because I said there's nothing wrong with INFP? It's just how you choose to see things. Why must you see yourself as wrong? Why must you see the characteristics that define INFP as wrong? I believe all personality types have their strength and weakness. Why is INFP more special or more wrong or more weird?

Why must you see yourself as wrong?

- this is one of the characteristics of an INFP - Self Critical.

Why is INFP more special or more wrong or more weird?

- Only 1% of the whole population, I rest my case.

Haha, my bad, I apologize. You understand me wrong. There are good thing and bad thing in INFP, I agreed. Apparently you doesn't have those bad things, but me on the hand, I got the bad things more than the good things. That is what I mean you're lucky.

I think you're just introvert and IIRC, as you say you don't have a trouble upbringing. Do you want to know how I grew up:

- 3 mothers and 2 fathers
- 4 marriages and 3 divorces
- Father married and divorced 3 times
- Mother married 2 times and divorced once
- Father died when I'm 3 years old
- Live with 5 foster parents which is continuously changing.

Do you have any idea, how those thing can effect someone . For me to survive and become what I'm today is some sort of miracle. Even I sometimes don't believe it. But it comes with all sorts of excess baggage which most of it is not very good for my personality.

more wrong or more weird?

Well doesn't you read the links that I post? - Hate an INFP? Tell us why!

or this: What's your number 1 coping method?

It's like visiting an asylum full with ritalin.

Not sure what you went through, but those are your parents' problem, not yours. You are not the one who had marriage issues time and again.

Confidence tend to be an attractive trait. Perhaps you can have a better shot at relationships if you view yourself and the world more positive and with more confidence.

Type Statistics

NF Idealists - 12%
NT Rationals - 12%

INTJ - 1%
INFJ - 1%
INTP - 1%
INFP - 1%

Keirsey Sorter Results

ENTJ - 3%
INTP - 3%
ISFP - 3%
ESTP - 3%
ISTP - 2%

INFP is rare but not the only rare one.

Well what I mean is the traumatic experience and constantly in a new surrounding. Agreed that the marriages and divorces prolly not affect me but my mother going MIA with the new guy, my father died in front of me and I saw the whole thing. The blood etc. I end up living in various home who is never treat me as their family. I mean if you really bring home kitten and you love them. Did you give them away after two years for others to take care.

I'm only a kid, how can I cope and grew up normally with a harsh surrounding like that. I don't think you have even a slightest idea. Before I can settle down and interact with my new family, they pass me on again to somebody. I end up escaping to my imaginary world and my world view become complex and abstract. Un-trusting and always in deep thought. I start reading paperback, lots of it when I'm 8 years old. At that time I got 6 library cards. Because that is the only place that I can go that I'm happy, my imaginary world.

Even now, I'm always daydreaming haha occasionally LOL.

I have to say rosely, you had it really tough. My experiences really can't compare to you. I can feel your pain. Sorry for being harsh with you again. All these experiences must be very traumatic.

Hope you can find a way to clear these baggages if you want to. Sometimes, I find myself refusing to release my baggages even if it's affecting me negatively because I fear of losing myself and the thought of having no emotional response to those past events is scary to me itself.

I did the test again. I got ISTP again. I33, S25, T62, P33.

Any other ISTPs?

Rosely: I am actually surprised how 'normal' you are in the context of your past experiences. Maybe it's because I see the worst outcomes in this field in the form of personality disorders. But it has probably shaped your personality, being more anxious and worried. I read that other INFPs also often run into trouble in social situations.

*Raise hand* Me!

I've got a confirmation that I'm ISTP though sometimes my I can sway to towards E.

lol I swear I read ESFP for you, you jumped two classes in <2 weeks. I was going to suggest stopping the strangely numerous number of INFPs from taking over spcnet.

Don't believe me?

Thanks for the infor, Kidd, that seems about right! I'd say, this is a better definition for ESFP than the one in FB.

You don't like intellectual arguments - Yupp! Yupp! Too lazy to keep up with one. It bores me.

I guess I was lazy to think through the questions that day but still, I thought the definition was rather correct... and

For those who are (also) [COLOR=#810081]The Crafter[/COLOR]™....

Your Type is
ISTP (Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving)
Strength of the preferences %

11 12 1 67

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

slightly expressed introvert

slightly expressed sensing personality

slightly expressed thinking personality (I'm lazy with thinking)

distinctively expressed perceiving personality

I think I could sway between ESFP and ISTP. I get ESFP or ISTP even in the FB version. Try this: http://apps.facebook.com/whatsyourmy...rc=feed_short1

I have an intuition that I can't trust so I guess it's nearly impossible to score me an N.

I don't trust my intuition that much either. Maybe that's why I sometimes get ISFP.

[Candide]

Haha, INFPs should take over SPCNET

After reading the description of INFP, you guys sound like you can't fight your way out of a wet paper bag. You can't take over sith.

Just for fun, can anyone guess what type I am?

Haha. So harsh yet so true. ENTJ or ENTP on spcnet. In real life I pick INFP.

[kidd]

INFP.

Just take the damn test if you want to know.

[Candide]

I know what type I am, and I'm exactly the same in real life.

[Han Solo]

For what its worth, Candide is extroverted, and maybe judgmental.

Han Solo

[Cesare]

My guess is ENTJ - just for the heck of it.

[remember_Cedric]

Just for fun, can anyone guess what type I am?

I'm guessing you're ESTJ

So, are you gonna reveal? Or, are you only fishing a cat with a fish? Pray tell!

Don't tell me you're INFP? rosely would be so glad that you're in the same family.

[Qin_Shu_Bao]

Hmm... I got : ENFP ~ Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving

You are:
moderately expressed extravert
slightly expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed perceiving personality

[KeongJai]

I know what type I am, and I'm exactly the same in real life.

I guess ENTJ. That's what I got and from the reading the description, ENTJ sound like arseholes. But they are brilliant, so they have reason to be.

[Candide]

Ding! That's right, I'm an ENTJ

Cheers!
