As a very responsible and conscientious INFP I also detested group work in school. There was once a fellow INFP who did nothing and turned in his insufficent work around midnight the last day of the project. Of course he slid in on our coattails.
But as the very tired and irritated typist for the project I added a notation regarding his behavior. He still got the same grade as we did.
Preparaton for life. That's what it's all about. If one has difficulty working in groups, unless he wants to spend his career life in solitary confinement, it's probably a valuable learning tool.
I have my own handy-dandy diagnostic tool in my very ISTJ spouse. If he feels and expresses antipathy toward another human it's a sure bet that person is an ISTJ.
When I suggest to him that the peron who irritates him is very similar to him he draws a blank expression. Heh. Can't see it.
