[INFJ] You know you're an INFJ when...

:D

- People think you're an extrovert... until they try and drop by unexpectedly, hehe.... Release the hounds!

- You are shy but wildly adventurous.

- You know which dreams you should pay attention to.... and you do.

- You're allergic to control, that is, others attempting to control you and you controlling others.

- Haha, if you haven't made yourself get used to it yet, being looked at by someone directly for any extended period of time feels like being lasered through to the core.

- You really miss playing with lego (ok, maybe that's all adults).

I really relate to these!

how talkative are your standard INFJ's? do people think they're extroverts just because they like trying new things, join groups etc.?

you have deja vu at least 10 times a week if not a day.

Yeah! That's weird. It happens to me a lot. My deja vus are sometimes so strong that I call them double deja vus and triple deja vus. They literally happen again right after the realization of the deja vu. They're so strong experiences, that I must sit down or something. By then my brains are so riddled with the concept of time that I always start to doubt the existence of everything (the world, time, life, me). Then after a minute or two I come back to my senses and ponder whether I should even try to explain my experience to others :doh:

It's because when relaxed and comfortable, we can be very enthusiastic about our interests and like discussing them as well as brainstorming. In the very least, I'm this way. (I kinda wonder if we have a laser beam kind of energy/focus, where when it's directed towards one activity our output is phenomenal but sometimes short-lived. It could be why we get worn out when socialising, but are still perceived as extroverts because of that intense energy.) I also have a quirky sense of humour that tends to make people at least grin, which only encourages me to be more talkative.

I hope no one is gonna use these traits to try to identify INFJs, because most of them are far too specific.

ditto:D..I bet people consider you the "grinch" of the family because you hate unexpected visitors.

Hehe fortunately my entire family hates the 'pop in'! Even my ENTJ father...

+1.

I (we?) like building bridges with people... also I am (we are?) very curious!

Too bad. I feel like the outcast of INFJs. Most of these things sound completely random to me.

I relate more to the average INTP anyway.

I often feel the same way about other types. It's hard to find something extremely impressive about someone with the similar strengths and flaws as yourself.

I'm talking about average INFJs vs. me.

I don't relate to most, except in specific ways having to do with understanding people.

I guess I meant I have less to talk about with other INTPs, since every response can be "Yeah, I know that. Duh."

Eeps I think we have some kind of consensus... (though, my 'sexual humor', or at least what comes out of my mouth might be a little lighter.)

- People think you're an extrovert... until they try and drop by unexpectedly, hehe.... Release the hounds!

- You don't mind queuing for extended periods of time, this is when you have your most blistering insights... (usually into yourself).

- You kept switching off Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin. It was giving you major dumbchills.

- You are shy but wildly adventurous.

- You know which dreams you should pay attention to.... and you do.

- You're allergic to control, that is, others attempting to control you and you controlling others.

- Haha, if you haven't made yourself get used to it yet, being looked at by someone directly for any extended period of time feels like being lasered through to the core.

- You judge your date by how well they treat the wait-staff... this judgement is hard to unseat...

- You really miss playing with lego (ok, maybe that's all adults).

All are correct except:

Katie Couric - I don't watch at all

Control - I love controlling people, but I'm very hesitant to do it. lol

I think its because we're Introverted F's who want to be noticed and are logical enough to know that we have to get through that uncomfortability to do so. So we go into this faux extrovert mode.

Plus people are just naturally drawn to us when they have problems and for some reason we have this imaginary vest like the people at Wal-mart that says "Tell Me Your Problems!!!". lol

Same on the double/triple deja vu's.

I've been known to stop in mid sentence.

Me: "So thats why E=MC.......whoa.....deja vu."
