I don't know as many INFJs, but they always seem less emotionally stable than myself and other INTJs.

INFJ's Inside. INTJ's Outside. Don't know too many of either, but I seen a whole lot more INTJ's seeming content, but it's not a definite decision. I see myself as crazy sometimes.:wack:

Wow, I was thinking it's the opposite order, like the INTJ's minds are going banannas, and the INFJs expressions are too dreamy. Then there's that funny theory of how most INTJs are more sane than most INFJs, but the craziest INTJ will be quite crazier than the craziest INFJ. That whole uber-independence and mad-theorist combination could certainly go into volcano mode! Just look at Nietzsche... ends up in the insane asylum!

I too was thinking it was the other way around.

Hahaha. That's true. Well, glad that you commented on that. Although, I think the INTJ's put things more into action or express their voice as the "feeling" can influence from them putting their "dreamy" stuff out there.

About equal.

Even if the function-based and varying individual dissimilarities have them take different paths and use different tools to/in varying encounters, they occasionally meet up on the crossroad checkpoints, and while exchanging, quite aptly know where the other has been and is heading.

Time, also, is an important factor.

It all depends on what you define as crazy and also what you see as crazier. Like if they are suffering from mental illness, either type is equally insane without treatment.

I'm freaking nuts. Actually, not so much anymore. Ive had my moments. But the INTJs I work with....if they're crazy, they hide it well. Although they DO admit to watching my little pony. The Ni doms have been subdued at my work place, I suppose.

In my direct group? 5 out of 9 (one claims he's an INTP but no). Department-wide? I can't say except I'm certain it's much higher than the density at Wienerschnitzel or something.

Why are you smiling when you ask that? You think I'm a cute and silly little infj, huh? Don't you!! :mad: Ok, maybe a lil. :bye:

Actually to pull back later on my comment, INFJ's are crazier outside and INTJ's inside. Wow. What a flashback!

INTJ's are very crazy, they are like ENTJ's except they hate people.

Online, I've dealt with crazy individuals from each type.

INTJs craziness is more hidden. They can look perfectly rational, but have some secret whack-a-do going on.

INFJs craziness is hidden when they run away and hide. There are INFJs who can look quiet and composed, but be internally unstable, but comparing the two, the Fe-aux will reveal to outsiders more of what is going on inside than Te-aux ever would.

I couldn't make the comparison because both instances of instability would tend to be hidden from others, and there isn't any possible way to measure it in a large sample size that I can imagine.

In the end I think mostly everybody's crazy.

Yes but we love individuals. I also hate parties but I love gatherings.

My ex fiance was an INTJ, and every INTJ I met we have amazing chemistry. But just wondering, have you read that they are one of the least types to have a relationship? Wondering if its the "crazy" we are talking about that makes every man / women run the other way.

Indeed. When I finally tell them what I have been up to for over a year now, the reactions will certainly be entertaining. Unless there has been a leak of some kind. If so, it is being kept under wraps rather well, but I won't be able to tell until all is said and done. Nonetheless - full speed ahead.

I do that, too. Have something major in the works and keep quiet about it for however long it takes. I think we're equally nuts. We just crack under dfferent applications of pressure.
