So I was just thinking some more and something just came to me.
INFP's, do you "put yourself out there?" We tend to be known for being reserved and non-demonstrative, but do any of us particularly "assert" ourselves or are personality? I tend to think of myself as very open and receptive, which in a sense is "doing something" or "making something" but nonetheless seems like the opposite of "assertiveness." So I guess I'm not assertive, or else I assert being open and receptive. If I just did some martial arts training or otherworldly yoga I can be VERY assertive, but it still has its inner core of openness and receptivity, it just wears a very assertive outer coating.
I wonder if our more artsy/creative INFP brethren would describe themselves as more assertive or putting themselves out there?
