Yes, I've reached this point-- of frustration really (so that may come through in the video). I would really like some input on what MBTI type I come across as. From the reading I've done, I feel that I am either INFP or INFJ, but am open to other suggestions too. Yes, yes, I know I should read and understand the functions. Quite frankly, I have to some extent and though I've narrowed it down, still cannot say which are higher priority for me. Perhaps it's because I haven't devoted enough time to it, or perhaps because many of the functions seem similar to me? I do hope to understand the functions one of these days, but for the time being thought I'd go this route.



Observations and questions welcome!

Haha, you understand how I feel then! I haven't watched that video, but will! Thank you. :) At the point of this video (the 5th or 6th attempt), I'm comfortable. The first few were really rigid and severe seeming because I wasn't used to it yet.

[MENTION=16139]Honor[/MENTION] Thanks for your input, could you expand on why you think INFJ?

I'd say INFP (though my first instinct/reaction after 30 seconds was INFJ).

your personality, the way you answered the questions, your mannerisms, what you said...everything is very similar to an infj friend of mine. but i can also see enfj for you.

I get an overwhelming INFJ vibe from you. Your face contorts a lot as if you are carefully considering your words. This is a Ti thing. Your focus on roles and appearances sounds more Fe than Fi. While a need of acceptance is felt by both FP and FJ types, FJ types are slightly less adverse to conflict becuase they can voice their opinions easier.
A real give away is your background. You keep a very tidy house.



Percievers like myself find little reason to clean unless there is rotting food or feces…
…that may be extreme…but you get my point, right?

[MENTION=16139]Honor[/MENTION] Okay, thanks for your input! ENFJ is one I've never considered, mostly because the only letter I'm absolutely certain of is I. I'm very drained by social endeavors and usually am one of the first to leave them-- just so I can get home, breathe and recharge. I have read that INFJ's can seem to walk the line between extroversion and introversion though, so perhaps that's what you are seeing? Also take note that I made this video just in front of myself, so this is my demeanor within close friendships, or when I feel safe.

I thought INFJ the second I clicked on your video and saw your facial expression.

Interesting, why INFJ early on, and INFP after seeing the full video? Thanks for your input! :)

I'm still watching actually. Kind of torn. It's a gut reaction. Your eye movement. Your facial expression. Some comments on personal values driving who you are, expectation of directness from others. Also, aren't INFJs pretty tactful? It seems like there is less expressed empathy than INFJs seem to have. I could easily see INFJ though as well in many respects.

Thanks so much for explaining your observations and thoughts, not only is this helpful in realizing my type but in understanding tangible examples of function use! Haha, yes I do like to keep my living space in order for the most part-- though I've found my definition of "order" different from that of others sometimes.

I do get your point! Haha, that makes me think certain people I know might be perceivers. :)
[MENTION=18664]Stansmith[/MENTION] Fascinating, what was it about my expression?

I'd say INFJ. Like Lady X said, I think you'd know it if you used Fi, and you don't seem like a dominant feeler to me.

[MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION] Yes, I suppose this is the frustrating part about making a video though. I started off by listing what I related to about INFP, and then went on a tangent and forgot to list what I related to about INFJ. :doh: Can you think of any questions I could answer to help clear up the close tie this seems to be?
[MENTION=17424]decrescendo[/MENTION] Thanks for chiming in! I'm not sure if I mentioned this in the video, but I actually can relate to Fi (I think?) or at least potentially more than to Fe. Being very aware of how others make me feel, basing judgments on my own ideals, and I tend to be able to tell truth even if its going to hurt someone's feelings (though I try to be as gentle about it as I can). That said, I think I am a bit softer hearted than I realize or would like to admit.

Sure. Which do you relate to more - option 1 or option 2?

Option 1
“Harmonious relationships”
• Affirming others
• Enabling affiliation
• Attuning to the group mood

Option 2
“Utter importance”
• Discerning and discriminating
• Assessing the emotional risk involved
• Evaluating the worth of items, ideas and people
