Being in jail excludes mental health diagnosis in this country to a large degree, and that should certainly be taken into account.
But anyway...INFPs are accused of being mentally ill or damaged all of the time, or that "fucked up people" mistype as INFP. There was a thread that even suggested that INFPs and INFJs both come from some sort of emotionally abusive environment.
So this isn't just about ENTPs, and you certainly shouldn't take it personally.
Things change they always do...
As for the unprofessional diagnosis, I just think it's appaulingly offensive, it isn't really about any individual type... it's rude and ignorant irespectively of which type are in the spotlight (INFJ are likely to be quite an extremeist group)...
So its not personal pre sey (just soap boxing this week)....
Almost all of the arm chair diagnistitians are just expressing intollerance and lack of understanding the type differences mean they behave differently and that all types have strengths and weaknesses... attempting to change how they approach a type that they find difficult is a better soltion to muck slanging... ENOUGH already.
Hopefully, if they do change the defiitions, some more people can get treatment, but as I understand it, it's not really treatable...
I've met a few women over the years - who were probably in this category - one or two self harmers - sad
PS - if you work in the field say so I'd like to run a thought by you on treatment...
