Okay, let me try to explain it as best I can:
It was very "A + B = C" to me. You were giving very specific examples, which my brain picked up on immediately and was like "nah, we don't need to read this," because I guess I'm more interested in abstract concepts. It was concrete, not abstract. Or so I assume because I still haven't read it all, hahaha.
I do NOT think that all INFJs are like this though. I legitimately have ADHD and get very bored with finer details. I honestly don't really understand it myself, so hopefully I explained it okay???
Hmm, I think I understand. So if my description was more general, like saying, "INFJ will use insights to benefit others", rather than "The INFJ will use their ability to sense the underlying causes of events and behaviour coupled with their knack for observing behavioural patterns of others to gain analytical insights into people (Ni) - why they said what they said, what they are thinking, what they want, who they are, how they are feeling. Most of these insights are removed from judgement or emotion - it is a rather cold observational activity; "You are doing this because of this." rather than, "You are doing this because of this, and I dislike that." (Ni + Ti) The feeling/judgement side to the INFJ comes later, when the INFJ decides to use their information on somebody to DO something - usually, to care for them and to 'fix' them (Fe). If a person seems upset to the INFJ, who would sense this by understanding the usual behavioural patterns of the person or of people in the population in general, the INFJ may use the insights gained on that person to go about helping them to cheer up in a way that suits the individual in distress best.", you'd find it more interesting to read?
And do you think it would have been easier to relate to if it was like that?
If so, that's interesting, because I usually get a bit irritated when descriptions are general, because I feel like anyone could interpret them in any way because people see things/think about things differently, so I like to make sure everything is very clear and specific so I can understand whether I truly relate to it or not. Maybe that's a hint at us being different types.
