Hi, I'm an INFJ, and have been onto this Myers-Brigg stuff and got many of my friends into it and have found that a lot of them are also NF types (interestingly, the majority of them INFP).
I myself am an artist, and many of my NF friends are involved in the arts (graphic design, music, painting, film, photography...).
I'm just curious to see if this is common with everyone else here that is an NF? I have this theory that we're all artistically inclined due to our intuitive/feeling nature.
It is very interesting this pattern I have seen over the years with kiersy. A LOT of SFP's who hang around NF's come across as NF's, Similarly, a lot of STP's who hang around NT's come off as NTP's..... and a lot of them can come across as J's but it's less so.
SP's are the ultimate chameleons. and we love them for it. They don't even do it on purpose really, they are very natural at it. *Especially* ESFP's their type being a performer. Being raised by all S's and having all S's in my family I tend to be a little closer to the S line, but I am definitely an N, though it has made my I/E line a little shaky.
In gifts differing Myers says that if the I/E line and the P/J line is shaky and you can't tell what people are with out a doubt, it is because the person in question most likely did not have the ability to safely practice their preference. The S/N T/F letters, I suppose are basically innate, and we do have preference on the rest.
Anyhow long story short, SP's are the artists of the world. IF they are good at the technique, or rather seem to be good at everything technical they decide they want to do, singing, dancing, art, etc. Even poetry, though it can be a little less "deep" (shudder- I hate that I just said that) there are probably more famous poets who are artisans out there because of their talent of putting words that sound good together together, which isn't as natural but can be learned by an NF.
So, the moral of the story is that if you are prideful (this isn'ta bad word, we all have what we are prideful about NT's their intellect, NF's their authentic Identity SP's their ability to be the best at something. SJ's and their ability to be in line with the shoulds.) abaout your art's *technique* and not as much what it means, you are probably an S not an N. In which case I would count myself lucky.
IF you have never questioned the legitimacy of society and humanity, chances are almost positive, you are not an N. Which means you can have all the perks of being an NF, be better at art, and not be on and off disgusted by humanity.
