I realise I've all but dominated the Thread (well, it's MINE!
) but I'd like to return it to INFPs and INFJs as it's changed course to INFPs and ISTPs. No no no! Or not yet!
I shall do this Chunk by Chunk so as not to overwhlem anyone reading. It's better this way so you can dissect and comment on one Chunkaroo at at time.
That means I want your Fe-ed comments to improve my Ni so they can spit my Fe out at you!
*ahem* Carrying on...
heart touched on something I'd like to take further (thank you in advance, heart!):

INFPs are less likely to disclose personal information to people and strangers. INFJs are more likely to disclose personal information to people and even to strangers. What is seen as personal to an INFP may be everything valuable
in their lives and inner world/mind. INFPs
will not share that unless that person has been found worthy of that information and it takes time for trust to be
deterimed (the motives of others) as they are cautious divulging such intimate things to others, whether or not
other's find it not as intimately personal or just 'personal'. What is seen as
intimately personal to an INFJ
will not be shared
unless to a person who is understood to them as
valuable (trustworthy) and
other's who may think the INFJ has disclosed very personal info when
it's not considered so to the INFJ (as they like plumbing a lot of issues and want to
Fe/discuss them, their own if feelings are understood AND
accepted /(finally)worked out + that of
others).
So, to input other terms, INFPs are SELF-centred and INFJs are OTHER-centred. Vicky Jo's
INFJ or INFP? site explains and while I did learn off of her site and used those two terms,
I figured out in greater detail through learning the Cognitive Proceses for INFxs and the two other Types I've learned as I finish learning one and move onto the next (INFJ
closure). Now...
Do not misconstrue 'self-centred', please please pretty please!
It's just to point that INFPs are more aware of their feelings and thoughts whereas INFJs are more aware of other's feelings and thoughts. It has nothing to do with being or acting selfISH! Both INFPs and INFJs or any other Typ
can and will be selfish at any point in their lives. Both INFPs and INFJs
can and will focus on themselves or on others, it's just what they naturally do which they trust and champion.
