I wish I was an INFP.

This can be arranged. Surgery unnecessary, however there is a fee... and "we'd" want to make sure your vessel could handle "it", i.e. the INFP'ness If you are still interested please PM [MENTION=8031]Ginkgo[/MENTION] and he will begin the screening process and set you upon the path. However I should warn you that the J to P transformation might be... painful...

The procedure works 50% of the time, all the time! :nice:

I once heard the theory that INFPs are the scattered descendents of Atlanteans, who were an advanced race of psychic, human-alien hybrids.

I think that fits better than "perfect". If we were perfect, we'd be able to pay our own bills and not be distracted by how cute ferrets are.

Example:

"To put the finishing touches on our plans to unite the nations of the world and establish a World Congress, having finally solved the problem of religious and cultural differences, as well as getting the major world leaders signed on, we should-- oh, look at this adorable picture of an inch worm! It's so cute! We should put it on the flag."

"The flag for what?"

"For the... um... book club? Is that what we were doing? So our flag has an inch worm. What's the first book we should read, and what day is good for everyone?"

Perhaps. I think ENFPs would be better at it if they were there however.

I think ENFP's can really raise the morale initially, I they're called the Inspirer for that reason. However, I think INFP can be the type to rebuild morale in the sense that they fit their title as Healer.

Isn't that more ESFP'ish?

I'd probably be a better writer and free-thinker. Seems much more rewarding than nihilism and intellectual-blandness.

You don't have to be an INFJ to be either of those. If you were an INFJ you'd be saying "I wish I was an ISFP". Grass is always greener.

This is the first time I have heard this. I am sceptical about this however. An INFP's use is ever questionable. If we were still out on the African savanna the INFPs would likely have all been eaten by predators by now.

Speak for yourself. I would have made friends with the lions and they would have brought me food. In our free time we'd do this:

This is precisely why INFPs developed shamanistic religion-- so that the STs would protect us and we could spend a lot of time alone in caves dreaming up cosmologies. We're stupid in a lot of ways, but taking over the mythmaking and religious duties probably saved us.:)

Nah, INFJ's are the perfect type. We do spend like 90% of our time striving for perfection.

But you guys are the second most perfectionistic. And if there is such a thing as a ranking (which I don't actually think) then they are up there. :)

Edit: *INTJ's are the third most perfectionistic.
