4. Do you often feel lonely?
When I'm by myself I don't feel lonely but when I am with a crowd then I often do.

This seems counter to reason, but I feel the same way. I do have times when I feel I need to be around people (more so than when I was younger), but the feeling of alienation is so strong when around groups it can make me feel worse then being alone.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?
Yes, I'm very selfish

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?
Umm.. well I do find a lot of people unlikeable and I do stick pins in their eyes

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?
It's not as much frustration as it is annoyance that we usually don't have much in common

4. Do you often feel lonely?
Mmm.. at college sometimes where I don't have as many close friends

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?
Not really..

6. Do you consider yourself unique?
Well, I do think more than a lot of people, I'd say

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?
Nah, I usually only feel that strongly about fictional characters with really tragic life stories

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?
Totally, although I'm not quite as bad as I used to be

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?
How could they tell me their life story if I've never met them? :rolleyes:

Umm.. I guess at random parties while drunk, except I'm usually the one ranting

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!
I don't know if the world would be "better," but life and dealing with other people would be a little more enjoyable for me

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Yes.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

Yup.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair? I used to get really frustrated over people and situations like the above. Now I just sort of ignore it or scoff at it, but I don't let this stuff bother me like it used to.

4. Do you often feel lonely? More often than is reasonable, yes.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it? Sometimes I get random ideas and stay up almost all night accomplishing them. Sometimes I get random ideas and do them later, and sometimes I don't ever get around to doing them. I get lots of random ideas in general, at all times, but they get jotted in notebooks and sit around waiting for me to do something.

6. Do you consider yourself unique? Unique compared to most of the people around me, but not very grandly unique in the overall scheme of things, considering how many amazingly unique people are in the world.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain? Yes, if I let myself. Sometimes I just have to shut that part of me off.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob? Maybe a little. Not bad.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story? Yup.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?! To be honest, I'm not really sure! Hehe. I think the world is better with a good variety, though I'm slightly partial to N's in general. :)

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Yes. So many people think I'm the kindest person ever, and I'm not at all...Maybe I just have really high standards for myself though.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

I am not sure I understand this, but I think so.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

YES. SO MUCH.

4. Do you often feel lonely?

All. The. Time. But I still choose not to hang out with people.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so excited thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

Not particularly, although it has happened before.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?
I feel...different, but not really unique.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?
Yes.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?
YES. Although that has gotten better.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?
HOLY SHIT YES.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!
HELL NO. :D No offense, INFPs.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

I can be pretty cold sometimes, but I also have a pretty strong guilt complex. So this question is kind of hard for me to answer, as I may not be coming across as mean as I think I do.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

Yes, I definitely have a dark side, which was MUCH darker when I was younger. Space is dark and empty, and a part of me feels the weight of that.

I've sort of come to accept people as they are, though. What's shallow to me is deep for other people, and what's deep for me is abstractly pointless for others. Also, I learned a long time ago that even people who seem shallow often have some kernel of wisdom worth digging up.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

Who am I to determine what REALLY matters?

Although yes, if someone's character doesn't go beyond sports, clothes, and hair, I will likely not spend much time on them.

4. Do you often feel lonely?

No. I do sometimes, though, and when I do the feeling makes up for lost time.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

Hahaha. Yeah, I've done that. Funny how certain forms of inspiration have a expiration date, huh?

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

Just like everyone else.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

Yeah, but always under the mirror of my own experiences. Sometimes that mirror skews things a bit, so I always have to pay attention to make sure we are lining up properly.

That's part of what makes me so helpful, though. When I mirror their pain correctly, I join them, and we heal each other together. (They rarely recognize that I'm healing the wounded part of myself as I help them, though. That's for the best.)

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

Heh, sort of! At least, if you consider shunning most of what's on the radio as music snobbery.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

Yup.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

Not necessarily. If we had more healthy INFPs, then definitely. However, an unhealthy INFP can be quite the destructive force.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Yes. I'm warm/soft on the outside and cold/hard on the inside. I make effort to be a good person and to make others around me as comfortable as possible, but I can be as catty and irritable as anyone, though I usually keep it to myself.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

Yes.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

Not really. Who the hell lets stuff like that bother them anyway?

4. Do you often feel lonely?

Sometimes.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

Not as often as I used to.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

In some senses, I think I'm pretty average and mundane. In others, not so much. I think most people are like this, so I guess not especially.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

No. It takes effort. I care about people in a detached way and force myself to see things from their perspective.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

I don't know. Probably not.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

This happens a lot.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

Not really.

Ugh. My insides sometimes don't seem very INFP-y. I guess this is an off night, but I answered honestly.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Yeah. I have high standards for niceness though, I think. I'll do something I think is "mean", and I'll feel really guilty about it. If I tell one of my friends about it, they look at me like this: :huh:, and tell me it's not bad at all. Plus, I think that people have this selfless/super nice image of me in their head, so even when I try to be mean, they don't take it seriously.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

Used to. Now I'm usually pretty cool with almost everyone. If I'm not cool with someone, I realize that maybe 75% of the time it's my problem, and not theirs. So I work through that. If it really is their problem, I just try to stay away from them.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

Sometimes. But then I remember that the stuff I care about doesn't necessarily matter, either. It's just valuing different things...

4. Do you often feel lonely?

Yeah, a lot. I want to be around people, but they scare the crap out of me. It's really frustrating. Plus, most people don't "get" me. I try to get on their wavelength, but I'm not successful sometimes.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

Sadly, yes. My random bursts of mental/physical energy don't come around very often, and they don't stay around for long. It's hard being indifferent to pretty much everything. I wish I wasn't so passive.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

Yeah, but I didn't really consider it until people kept telling me I was. I think I have a complex now.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

No. I can feel bad for people, but I don't feel their pain as if it were my own. So: sympathy, yes; empathy, no.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

HAHAHAHA No. The stuff I listen to isn't cool. And I've been around enough obnoxious music snobs that I vowed never to become one. It's okay if you listen to good music, but it's not okay if you try to make other people feel inferior.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

Yes, people I've never met, people I don't know very well, people who never really talk to me but then suddenly spill their guts to me. It doesn't bother me, but sometimes I feel bad because I don't know what to say or do...I mean, I've had people tell me all about how their parents beat them (while it was still going on). It's made me consider being a counselor, so I can at least get paid for it. ha I really do like listening to people, though.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

Hard to tell. We can be pretty good catalysts, though.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Yes. Feeling things intensely is probably a part of it. Selfishness in healthy doses is used as a self-preservation technique.
I think I look cold on the outside if you`re not in my inner circle or you don`t accidentally catch me smiling to myself or being nice. Like picking up that spider most girls screamed at or wanted to step on and taking it outside.:blush:

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

Pins aren`t really my thing. The dark side, well...You know, like in movies/cartoons when there is a good hearted naive hero type character, and the dark genious villain type; well I always found the dark genious to be more interesting. In real life I try not to be too judgemental and give them the benefit of the doubt. In a fit of anger I`d probably be the one walking away from the situation, not the one going for the punch.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

Yes, but at the end of the day you`ll find out that leaves you empty handed.

4. Do you often feel lonely?

I think I used to more in HS. I also cried more often. I think I`ve learned to come to terms with my personality and be alone without feeling lonely. It`s far worse being with someone and still feeling lonely.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

Yeah, my motivation spurs come at odd times. It`s the same when creativity hits, you can`t force it. But I should really work on the procrastination part.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

:yes: There`s a good quote about that; “Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else” Alison Boulter

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

Unless I`m detached from the situation. But I don`t really know if I really feel their pain, or just what/how I think I`d feel if I were in their situation and then feel it.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

I like different genres, but I keep away from most of what`s on the charts. I listen to music, because it makes me feel one way or another (without the help of drugs), so I don`t really get what you could feel from most of what`s considered popular. It doesn`t do a thing for me. If that makes me a music snob, I don`t really care, to each their own.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

More like crying on my shoulder and spilling their guts out. Mostly at parties, where lots of people who aren`t usually close come together.
While I was working as a secretary in the Summer a client of my boss was really chit chatty, started telling me about his horoscope, general astrology and his numerology number and continued to explain mine to me. Funny guy.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

Probably not. I can`t help but imagine a society ruled by INFP`s as fluffy rainbow coloured chaos:D jk jk!:blush:
It would be better if people generally started to care more.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?
Sometimes?

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?
I used to want to do more than put pins in their eyes, now I'm happy to just not deal with them.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?
What matters is subjective, though I sometimes envy those who can get along with "simpler" things.

4. Do you often feel lonely?
More often than I like, but less often than I used to.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?
More often than I like, but less often than I used to.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?
No, each snowflake is still made of the same water ice.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?
I try not to unless it's fictional; hurts less that way.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?
More than I like, but less than the loud minority.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?
A few times...

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!
Hell fuck no!

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?
Since people really aren't types but only choose to identify with them, I find this question difficult to answer.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?
No. I think people have a public side and a private side, and do not begrudge them their shallow public side.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?
Yes. I get irked when people are bad drivers, messy irresponsible slobs, when they leech off of other people, etc.

4. Do you often feel lonely?
I'm not alone anymore, so no, but I'm sure I would if I were to not have the love I now have in my life. I used to feel lonely. My whole life, before I met my SO.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?
No.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?
Everyone is technically unique, but I'm not anything to write a book about.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?
With my SO and my dad, yes. I'm not very empathetic otherwise.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?
I was when I was younger, but I've grown out of it and feel comfortable with my open appreciation of what's on the radio and MTV. The non-INFPs I know are music snobs too, so I don't think it's type-related.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?
Not that I recall.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?


i do feel selfish, mean, and malice quite alot, then i feel guilty and beat myself up about it.
i though, am extremely 'lovey dovey', theres no way around it, im straight up passionate, although my outward appearance is extremely relaxed, im very passionate about things i do and like, therefor making me very much 'lovey dovey'.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

i do indeed. i would never act on these thoughts though.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

yes yes yes, i dont care what anyone says, a vast majority of things people find important in this day and age is bull****. college doesnt matter, money doesnt matter, having a job requiring you to kiss*** but pays extremely well doesnt matter. people get so caught up in sports and trends and television, its fine they like things but for god sake my local newspaper had a front page spread of football on 9/11 this past year. people honestly do have their priorites ****ed up. im not saying i dont, its something we all have to work at.

4. Do you often feel lonely?

no, i can go a very long time without feeling 'lonesome'. or at least recognizing it, but when i do get in touch with some friend, or hang out with someone i havent seen in a long time, something in my brain clicks, its like... wow this is nice, i feel the pleasure of long awaited meaningful interaction without first feeling lonesome. its like people i havent seen in a year keep saying to me 'i miss youuu' and im like k stfu. but then when i do see them it really is nice to see them.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

yes! i am so impulsive in this aspect, i will get a wonderful fun idea, and just go nuts with it, and try to follow through with it, get bored and give up. example: my friend and i set up this fun challenge thing out of nowhere one night, my friend said 'we should make a list of embarrassing things for people to do' [or something to that affect] and i was feeling oh-so frivolous and we organized a Facebook group and shiz, by the next day we had a big following and people were participating in our contest thing! and halfway through the challenge time i got bored of it, and am completely negligent of it. i promised to give prizes and whatever, well its been like a month now and im just not interested in it anymore.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

yes and no, i dont say 'hey look how unique i am, hey everyone look how different i am.' i just dont have something inside me telling me to care about what our current society considers normal. i do what i want.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

i do indeed. i can put myself in other peoples shoes pretty well.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

i am, im not a doucher about it and tell people off [very often], haha but i believe i know good music. but if i want to listen to **** music i listen to it and realize its **** music. i am just a human and i can be interested with catchy beat-nonsense, but i acknowledge the fact it is catchy-beat nonsense and not talented musicianship [if thats the case]. im realistic with my interests. this kinda relates to the me being mad at things that dont matter question.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

oh goodness yes, ive made many friends this particular way, ive had complete strangers confide in me. thats how ive made quite a few friends. its a blessing and a curse, as i come off as a tease because women assume that a guy with a listening ear is a guy with a boner and nowhere to put it. which is defiantly not the case with me.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

god no.

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?
That all depends on how comfortable I am, really. I can get somewhat selfish if I'm around people that I wouldn't open up to, but it makes me feel ashamed of myself.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?
Not a really dark side, but some things I can't stand are superficial, shallow people. I do try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes, some people just, don't deserve it. I can try to have a temporary spite towards someone, but unless I really really dislike that person, it's never shown and doesn't last long.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?
Yes.

4. Do you often feel lonely?
I'm fine with not being with a lot of people (it's actually preferable), but I do need someone there for me who I can trust and open up to.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?
Sometimes, but usually I don't do it simply because I don't want to act out on it, like, draw attention or anything of the sort.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

Yeah.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

I'm not sure what you mean by literally, but seeing someone sad reminds me of how terrible it felt whenever I was sad, and I don't want any (decent) person to feel like that.

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

*naive look*

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

no.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

No, there'd be too much fluff and emotions xD

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?

Selfish definitely. I'm extremely self absorbed and often think of the world and all the people I know as revolving around me.
Mean? I can be very judgemental and hateful of people sometimes, which goes against all the the accepting, empathetic values my INFP self is supposed to stand for. Once my dislike for someone begins, I can pursue it with a passion, looking for every small reason, justification to hate them. Worst case scenario of this is when a romantic interest rejects me.
Not so lovey dovey? Nah, I'm definitely very lovey dovey. :)

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?

As I discussed a bit above, I'm capable of pursuing an intense and biased dislike of someone. Ultimately though I genuinely do not wish to see them suffer, that's when my empathy kicks in. It's just fun to indulge in dislike at a shallow fantasy level, though.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?

Frustrated? Definitely not. It gives me an excuse to feel elite, superior in my level of emotional/intellectual depth to others. And I like feeling that way.

4. Do you often feel lonely?

Yes. I'm hanging out for my first romantic relationship to help with this.

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?

I think I've had times like this, yes. I've also had times where I've tried to put my crazy ideas into action with friends, until their lack of interest wears down on me and I lose interest myself.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?

I hope that I am, sometimes I'm terrified that I'm just a boring copycat.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?

I don't know, the word literally is getting me confused. I feel strong empathy, understanding for what others feel, I'm not sure whether this counts as literally feeling their emotions or whether it's at a slightly lower level to that?

8. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?

A lot, yes.

9. Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?

No, I don't think so.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!

I'm not sure about that. I think I'd prefer it if SJs would continue to dominate and do all the business and organising, so I can continue to slack off and write poetry. :cheese:

1. Do you think you're sometimes more selfish, mean, and less lovey-dovey than what people think us to be?
Yes.

- I can be very arrogant and disdainful towards other people who do not agree with my viewpoints. I tend to think of them as ignorant or irrational.
- I do not suffer fools gladly. I have difficulty in concealing my irritation and can become rather scratchy.
- I very much dislike sentimentalism because of its falseness - it so rarely touches the raw emotions its trying to access. I hardly ever cry in movies for this reason.

2. Do you infact have a pretty dark side, which find a lot of people and things shallow, and unlikeable, and you'd like to stick pins in their eyes? But you wouldn't actually do it, because you are pretty nice realllyyy?
Oh, I have serious anger issues but they rarely show up externally.

3. Do you feel frustrated towards people that don't care about things that really matter? Do you get frustrated at those that seems to only care about sports, clothes, and their hair?
Incredibly so but not so much with sport (I actually like them :D ). At least sport involves skill and amusement, clothes and hair are just about looking good. The mindnumbing superficial details of day to day life are so boring to me.

4. Do you often feel lonely?
Always but then this is partly self-inflicted. I guess I want to be able to be alone but not be lonely

5. Do you get random ideas in the middle of the night, and you get so exicted thinking about doing it tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and you're not excited about it anymore, thus don't do it?
This has happened to me quite a few times. I've learned to distrust my brilliant middle of the night ideas.

6. Do you consider yourself unique?
Depends how you mean this. I am very unusual in terms of the combination and wide variety of, characteristics in my personality. I guess I also like to think I experience the world on a deeper level than the vast majority. I wouldn't say I'm 'special' or anything. I'm not incredibly talented or extraordinary in any one aspect of my personality.

7. Do you literally feel other people's pain?
Rarely in a profound way. Generally people don't let on enough to make me feel that. The feeling in that person has to be immediate and very strong. The most common emotion I feel for others is embarassment.

. Are you a bit (or a lot) of a music snob?
Yes! I secretly congratulate myself on my wonderful taste :D

Have you had people you've never met before tell you their life-story?
One guy sort of did. It was more about his upbringing and ancestry. It was very interesting.

10. Do you think the world would be a bit better with more INFP's?!
Yes and no. I would like more to be sprinkled around a bit in positions of importance - so that they might persuade people to actually fix things. However, too many might result in the world imploding.
