INFJ's; creatures of extremes?

[Spurgeon]

lol.

I don't think we are easy to offend at all. We usually (excuse me fellow infjs if you don't agree with my collective use of infjs here) give people numerous benefits of the doubt, which also usually results in something of our own demise, before we would wreak havoc on someone else (even if it deserved). And even then, we'd probably be more likely to walk away than see the other person's reputation or life hurt in any way.


Sounds like you are thinking of some T type. Or perhaps a very unhealthy infj...


Why do you think this way? And, no offense, but you don't seem like an entp to me. Are you sure you are?

I already told you. I'm not really sure why I feel this way. It's probably something totally irrational.

lol.

I can see the part about giving lots of latititude before dropping the axe. But I'm not sure I believe the part about walking away.

Well, I know Im ENTP, but what type do I seem like to you?

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

Well you seemed like you had something to say earlier. And so you piqued my curiosity, is all.

I don't know. I haven't paid much attention. You seem too mellow to be an ENTP...

Well, I'm working on being more mellow. I'm naturally much more reactionary and aggressive.

[Spurgeon]

And yeah, I do have more to say, but I might have to say it in the Brutally Honest Thread.

I'm also afraid of going too far and getting banned. So that's why i'm being so cautious.

I know how easily ENTPs get pegged as troublemakers.

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

We don't drop axes. We slam doors. Haven't you heard?

I'm not sure that's right though. I know for me it's more like this inching closed thing, alternated with peeking back out to see if anything has changed, checking on the climate/situation. When it finally closes (slams) everyone else is usually already miles away and thus doesn't even notice.

EDIT: I'd lerve to hear what you have to say about us. Don't worry, you cannot be worse than Z. And he doesn't get banned.

 

[Spurgeon]

Oh, and I feel like your avatar is judging me right now. lol.

 

[SilkRoad]

It seems like they could and would utterly destroy your reputation and make you an utter pariah--completely cast out of the camp forever--if you crossed them enough.

Yeah, I admit we might cast you out of the camp forever. But only if you've showed again and again that you're selfish, untrustworthy, mean, hurtful, etc, and we've given you the benefit of the doubt a million times. Or if there is absolutely no good reason to keep you in our lives - when it would only do us harm. However, I think we're unlikely to destroy you.

Basically, if you don't act like an ass with an INFJ, don't screw us over, don't completely take us for granted and use and abuse us, you will be absolutely fine and you will have a very loyal and low-maintenance friend.

But I'm thinking you must have had some bad experiences with real or supposed INFJs. (Entirely possible, we are not saints. We're not Hitler either!)

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

She has her own problems.

But she'll bite if you want her to.

No. It's nothing deep or personal like that.

I just have a wacky theory about why Ni and Fe (or Te) lends itself to quasi-Fascist worldviews.

It's just too inflammatory. I don't think it will be received very well.

I've learned from past mistakes that sometimes it's better to keep ideas to yourself.

Sorry for the tease.

It may already have been covered in one of the Hitler threads...

I'll have to check those out.

Now I'm REALLY curious. You're the devil!

ME TOO!

we must tackle romp Spurgeon and force him to tell his infj secrets

 

[Spurgeon]

Well, I should probably think about it a little more.

If I can find a way to explain it that isn't likely to get me banned, I'll post it.

 

[Z Buck McFate]

It seems to me like this guy has laid a pretty solid disclaimer in place. Like the worst that could happen is we disagree and tell him it's wrong, which could potentially annoy the bejeezus out of him. Seriously though, as long he can handle "okay you may be right, you better stop there" then I don't think there's anything to worry about (unless that's the point, maybe he knows he can't handle "you better stop there").

I wanna hear the wacky theory!

For the record, I actually agree that (reactionary + aggressive) + (NFJ) = scariest people in known universe.

edit: [MENTION=13954]Spurgeon[/MENTION], posted this after you posted. I don't want to egg you on. But I am hoping you decide to post it later.

You mustn't give us away!! I was trying to be, err, circumspect about it.

 

[Spurgeon]

Man, you guys are persistent.

It's just not gonna happen right now.

 

[Spurgeon]

By the way, you guys should be really proud.

Hitler was a pretty attractive guy:

 

[Spurgeon]

Hitler was an enfj. It's already been debated on here.

But most infjs are not Hitler-like. So, again, why?

I'll have to check out that debate.

ENFJ seems pretty likely too. I just think INFJ is more likely.

Either way, NFJ = Fascist.
