Seems to me you feel threatened that people can know what you feel.
And when people feel threatened, they fall back on their assumptions.
The assumption being, it can't possibly be true.
It can't possibly be that it's actually you who has a problem, right?
I went through this earlier with an ESTJ basher.
Her solution to life was blame ESTJs.
All ESTJs are assholes, to her.
Now here you are blaming INFPs for messing with your little feelings.
How convenient to just conjure up 4 letters like the ghost of Elvis.
Got gardening issues? Blame ESFPs
Got plumbing issues? Blame INTPs
Got insect issues? Blame ENTJs
Got Jock Itch, well, blame Jock The Motie!
I'm not your buddy who hates ESTJs, nor am I blaming all INFPs for everything.
I know some INFPs who are delightful people. Unfortunately there aren't very many of them in this thread.
I also know some ENTJs who suck at trolling.
This is you and me right now.

You presume to know everything about me because I am an INFP.
If you want to understand, really understand, I'm in.
Your move, chief.
I don't presume to know anything except the things I've explicitly stated.
So let's get this straight: You are...
A) Claiming psychic knowledge of my private thoughts, and
B) Complaining that I "presume to know everything about you"?
It seems to me that you're the one presuming to know everything about me, actually, with your self-righteous proclamations of my own thoughts and feelings for me.
Interesting, though, that you
think I presume to know everything about you based on the letters I, N, F and P. This strikes at the entire point of the thread, actually--
INFP is just a generalized label that makes a very broad description of the cognitive processes you feel most comfortable using. By no means does it describe everything about who you are, and yet--
you assume that I think it does.
So what's a paranoid Fi dom, then? Maybe someone who takes typology for far more than it's intended to be, and erroneously assumes anyone who uses it must grossly misunderstand it as badly as you do.
If you think I believe the letters "INFP" tell me everything about you, you haven't been paying attention and you don't know the first thing about my interpretations of typology. This is exactly what the OP is referring to--if you actually knew what typology is about and the ways in which I and other proponents make use of it, you wouldn't even suggest that I think it explains the entire measure of a person in four letters.
But please, by all means, carry on pretending you can define my opinions for me and then hypocritically accusing
me of claiming to know everything about
you.
