What took the universe so long to make this topic?

You know you're an INFP when . . .

People call you sweet, but little do they know, you're everyone's worst critic . . . including your own. Especially your own.

You look at society's values as more of a practical consideration than anything else. What's important to you, foremost, are your own values.

You find it easy to read another person's mind simply by asking yourself what would go through your head if you were in their position.

You often have to bite your tongue because your values are so often at conflict with other people's that voicing them isn't usually a good idea.

You seriously wonder at the sanity of someone attempting to give you a compliment... ---All right, that might just be me....

Yes, I THOUGHT there was one...

I know GC has one, or more

When s/he has taken the MBTI test and told you his/hers type.

False.

It has a really long one, and you know you're an INFP if it is very entertaining to read through the entire thing, and you find yourself nodding to most of it.

As a freelance INFP, I'd wager you're INFP when people cannot stop describing you as harmless, innocent and ellusive, no matter how much you find yourself smiling and shaking your head at their perception.

 

[metaphours]

When you can spend an entire class not listening to anything the teacher says and instead daydreaming about endless possibilities.

 

[Chloe]

when you don't want to say "good morning" to your family when going to toillet.. because you don't want them to know you like/care for them

(this one is from my lovely INFP friend )

You know you're INFP when...

- Your room is a mess, but your fantasy/sci-fi bookshelf is immaculately sorted by author name and series
- You can't stand watching shows like Candid Camera because you keep imagining yourself in the victims' shoes and feeling totally embarassed on their behalf
- You hold back when playing word games such as Scrabble and Boggle with your friends, because you would obliterate them otherwise and that would actually feel worse than losing

 

[rainoneventide]

When you don't think you're good enough to be an INFP.

 

[Udog]

When you don't think you're good enough to be an INFP.

Ah, yes. Likewise, when you think INFP isn't good enough to describe you.

Ha! Yes to all three. But I'm also afraid of being untrue to myself, so I just spot them some points at the outset to make it competitive.

When you don't think you're good enough to be an INFP.

Yes.

Also, when you read the INFP descriptions and listen to other people describing INFPs, and wonder how you can function in the real world at all.

 

[metaphours]

You know you're an INFP when you can bang the hottest woman in the world, then, afterwards, completely regret it for no cohesive reason whatsoever.

 

[rainoneventide]

Yes.

I guess we function in our own special way, lol.

Lol.

 

[Coeur]

You know you're an INFP when you imagine 50 different ways a scenario could play-out, especially if it has to do with relationships.

You know you're an INFP when you replay the same event in your head 50 times and berate yourself for not saying a completely innocent phrase differently.

You know you're an INFP if you look for ways that you are wrong in a situation, even if the fault lies completely in the other person. [He hit me, but I deserved it because I was inconsiderate of his stress and burnt the roast.]

You know you're an INFP if you play the devil's advocate.

You know you're an INFP if when someone says something about you that doesn't fit in with your perception with yourself, you psychoanalyze it to death.

You're an INFP if it kills you to see someone by themselves.

You're an INFP if you imagine what a passing stranger's life is like.
