Here's an oddity I noticed from images, and my time at INFJ Forum. I don't know how to explain it, so someone here may be able to.

What is up with the INFJ facial expression? It isn't blank, but it has something. There's something about the eyes. The facial expression isn't catlike like a INTP. INTJs have a similar expression, but I'll see an INTJ smirk where an INFJ won't.

In pictures with body movement - the body movement is similar. The facial expression almost never changes.

What's up with this? Is it part of there disposition?

Outer control of the expression creates a sense of calm. But, the depths shine in the eyes like hidden lakes. With INFJ's more so than almost any other type, the eyes reveal the life within. This is what can make them interesting and beautiful. The holding back of something can make it more attractive.

THIS! 100% true! You have no idea until you've seen it, and it can take more than a year to get your first REAL glimpse. :yes:

I'm looking for a straight forward answer, not some philosophical crap.

Oh, you gullible types :devil:

If you only knew that there's nothing there. We're only good at faking that there is.


Seriousy now. It's an illusion mostly. We're in our thinking zone. This doesn't mean that we're thinking about anything significant.

Am I smelling fanboys in here? Is somebody baking those again?

Why is it never Cookies !?

I like chocolate...

:laugh: And cookies and candy and...nom nom nom.

The look in the eyes of an INFJ is like the Mona Lisa smile. There is no mystery, we just don't have anything useful to do with our eyes at that particular moment.

I get that a lot too. People want to help me, a lot. They think I'm all "fragile" or something or secretive, silent. They say my face says it all. It's true, I usually make a face instead of saying anything.:cheese:

Considering that you seem to have an interest in INFJs, I highly doubt that.

And I think the thread is telling you to pay attention to the eyes. Whatever this 'something' is you see, it's located there.

I was hoping this thread was going to involve INFJ bukkake, but alas, no such luck.

That seems to be the thing with female INFJs, though the one I know tends to scare people off quickly. Her Fe is more dominant than normal, it comes out a little faster, usually as a subtle twinkle in the eye when she does the 'thank you, now piss off' respectful smile.

I get the opposite unless I've hung out with the person a little while. Then they switch from 'youre kinda creepy' to 'youre a cool guy.'

And FC3S, it's kind of hard, if not impossible, to describe what youre asking for in a straightforward way, but I'll try. It's like we're thinking very deeply, and that we've done it all our lives so it's been turned into what we are. I think a good, yet poetic, word to use would be 'sorcerous' when describing the INFJ look, Miles Davis is a good example of the look.

ESTPs are doers, they've been 'doing' all their lives so 'active' is the first word I think of to describe them.

No, we're into BDSM and furry ;)

I'm not sure I buy all this about the eyes (though it's a lovely thought). Guys *always* compliment girls on their eyes. I think it's their way of pointing out that they are actually looking at our faces...and not a bit lower.

How's the body movement? Rigid? I always chalk it up to weak Se. INFJs have a hard time letting go and being in the moment unless they are very comfortable.

So in other words what an INTJ does to the realm of academics (oh god), an INFJ does in the realm of philosophy?
