I am either an INTP or an INFP.
I would like to be the subject of analysis.
I'm only sensitive when I want to be.. I'm not sensitive to criticisms of my ideas.. but I have a great capacity for love and affection.
I think it is very possible that I am an INFP with a developed Te, but I often catch myself using Fe, or simply being frank and tactless when I detect another is threatening my autonomy or boring me with endless chatter or invading my personal bubble.
It is not that I doubt I am an INFP. It is that I test INTP, and I identify with INTP.. My dad is an INTP, so is my grandfather, and we have pretty much no emotional connection, but we are extremely close because we appreciate the same things. My dad and grandfather aren't even nice people.. not at all, but I so very much value their intelligence that it doesn't matter.
I don't walk on eggshells, and I don't expect others to walk on eggshells with me. I have always been one to challenge the claims of people I am around, and I can detach and understand both sides of an argument.
I have always held competence to a high regard, whether or not I "like" the person. My feelings toward the person are often irrelevant and not even conscious. I value justice over mercy. I have never been a merciful person.. but I feel a connection with people that makes me think I could be an INFP. I am moved by movies and music... but I have little sympathy. I am just not a sympathetic person.. I don't understand it. Whenever someone comes to me with their problems, I always approach the situation frankly.. because I see it as an opportunity for them to understand a little more about life or themself.
I often disregard the feelings of others if they begin to suffocate me and try to get too close, and I'll have no remorse about it..
Would an INFP do this?
