The one I parent is a little like possessing Michigan J. Frog: people who don't live with her often do believe her perfect. Not that she isn't mighty close.
You may have been joking, but deep down, INFJs seem to believe this, and those MBTI profiles do a hell of a job selling your BS to everyone else. If this thread was about INFJs, it would be backed with praise from others & false humility from INFJs. Only an INFP will really try to convince you they (the INFP) actually a defective ass. Well, maybe some ISFPs too.
I think that any and every type can be the perfect type given they are healthy and in their element.
I will admit it. IMO Ni doms can be full of themselves. I will even go as far as to admit that I can be that way. I agree that it is in part due to false praise.( Not to justify it) There is also rarity and the nature of the beast itself to consider but...
THE IRONY!!!... I mean did that just happen?? Are you really accusing one type of false humility while seemingly bragging about how truly humble your type is (along with ISFPs).There may be some truth to that but there was no way I could’ve let that slide. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but c'mon. There was not a single humble remark in that post period!! LOL You know what INFPs would have to be truly humble because they obviously would suck at false humility if it was an everyday occurrence... LOL forgive us "Ni snowflakes". Please show us the way of the truly humble INFP.
And didn't I just convince you I'm really a defective ass?
Please...
My new theory on truth is that what's meaningful is more true to the heart than what's true in reality. So the ideal is greater than what's there, essentially.
Does this idea of mine resonate with the INFPs here?
your post smells of "st00pid". I think OA is saying that INFPs can't afford to overlook what they have observed in themselves whilst INFJs can (or will fail to observe their faults in the first place.) It's a Ji thing not "false humility".
I heard God was an INFP.
In contrary INFPs will see this and truly try to convenience you that they are not to be praised because they are truly defective. (I took the liberty of taking that to imply that opposed to the false humility of the INFJ the INFPs are truly humble.)
I feel that, in the context of this thread, what OA says has a grain of truth to it - that an INFJ would feel more alignment than an INFP with a positive thread like this. They would feel like they are more appreciated by a thread like this, and pleased that the type in general is being appreciated. Do you agree with that?
I don't think it says anything bad about INFJ's in particular that this is so. OA makes her point using words that grate on you, with the hot-button of "humility" thrown in, and I think that's too bad because it means the point gets lost on you being offended by that.
This is false 100%. I don't see how a point can be lost on me if I have already stated I agree with a good portion of it. I have no idea how people are still getting the idea that I am offended. I am not offend and I have basically said as much in the post you quote. This is getting redundant but as I have said before I was merely poking fun at the irony between the delivery and the assertion (you seem to notice the langue is fiery also). Which I also stated in no uncertain terms (so I thought) in the post you quote.It actually seems to me that some of the INFPs misunderstood me and got offended. For that allow me to apologize for my part in the misunderstanding.
Hmm, you're looking at me choosing the word "offended" now, sorry about that! I don't think I'm wrong that you didn't like the idea of "false humility" - and I think that's a fair complaint from your perspective, and you delivered your thoughts with some tongue-in-cheek, and I got that too. To my ears, you do sound a little annoyed and defensive in your reply to me as well. If you're not feeling this way, I suppose I'm picking it up from tone and word choices, but if that's incorrect, I apologize for assuming you felt a bit of annoyance in there.
I don't feel offended myself from what you've posted, and although I appreciate you extending an apology, rest-assured, not necessary.
No…you have convinced me that you are trying to assert you are somehow superior because you admit you are defective lol. That on some level other types are more defective in that they are defective and don't know it. You on the other hand are above disillusionment. So in being aware of your defectiveness you are somehow less defective. I wasn’t convinced of anything before but now I am almost certain. lol
OA literally says false humility lol. Please if I misunderstood this correct me. What I got out of this is if INFJs were the center of this thread they would secretly agree but claim they did not.
In addition the INFJ lovers would sing their praises because MBTI profiles seem to perpetuate the idea of INFJ superiority. (Which I pretty much agree with in my other post) In contrary INFPs will see this and truly try to convenience you that they are not to be praised because they are truly defective. (I took the liberty of taking that to imply that opposed to the false humility of the INFJ the INFPs are truly humble.)
All I was saying is that was a truly ironic way of making that point.
Perhaps since you find my understanding is so obviously flawed you can enlighten as to why it “smells of St00pid†to point out what I perceive to be irony between the assertion of OAs post and it’s delivery.
Hahahahahhaahha...INFPs being the perfect type, that's rich.
Hello Mr. Raptor,
FTR I voted no. *shows INFP "Get Out Of Jail FREE" card*
While the qualities you've listed are mostly accurate they are not the end all be all by any means and while situationally useful are lacking in many a context that are both useful and meaningful.
