With an INFJ, I don't feel that. I feel like I am really understood through all the layers of crazy that encompasses my enfpness.

INFJs, I love you and I wish there were more of you.

(and for those of you who doubt or mock. We are awesome. No other explanation needed.)

I like that dude. I hope he doesn't disappear again.

Jake, I especially agree with the understanding through layers of crazy. I think it's a mutual understanding.

Ahhh the elusive INFJ. How I love them. 8+ plus months away from the boards and this 10 page thread is the first one I dive into. I love it love it love it.

blah blah blah

Dude, your picture is so fantastic... it's so fantastic... it... :worthy: :jesus:

I think with us ENFP's we mask a connection with most everyone. We are chameleon and have the near super-power to instantly make people comfortable and get people to open up to us and trust us. BUT I think we do an even better job of getting people to believe we are opening up to them when really we are just playing off them to get them to like us or whatever. Confused yet? Me too.

What a wise man you are! (that may be the 1st time I've ever used "wise" and "man" in the same sentence, not immediately followed by a posterior extension of some sort) Oh, that was a compliment

Awww, the feeling is mutual, y'know. :)

This is, if I can speak for INFJs. :thinking:

The forum has grown since you've gone -- for instance, we are amassing small armies of INFJs and ENFPs for the impending war.

Now why wasn't I notified about this? You would think that having an ENFJ twin would automatically clue me in to any hints of saber rattling.... :D

ENFP's are cool, and funny to bad that you guys are really rare :cry:
My father (ENFP) was a tourist guide for 14 summers, (when he was 25 to 40 or so) now he is 60, and he still gets christmas cards/easter cards from his former tourists :yes:

Hmmmm - you know, I think he's an ISTP, and she's an ESFP.

Ooh, can you help me tell the difference between an ENFP and an ESFP? One of my friends has been confounding me...

Easy. Start blabbing about your theory on the evolution of morality. Unless your ESFP buddy's a mutant, he'll/she'll probably tell you to shut it and dance. The ENFP will probably reply with a bull shit theory of his/her own that was made on the spot in response to yours (and I do mean bull shit).

Also, the next time your buddy starts blabbing about someone they just met/ have a crush on/ whatever, see if the majority of the content is a shockingly detailed description of their appearance (ESFP) or a shockingly shameless attempt at amateur psychoanalysis (ENFP).

Awesome! :D

Heh- but I think her ISTP boyfriend (mistyped himself as an INTJ) has told her she is ENFP (no matter what she is!) so she's doing her best to fit the profile. Will keep analysing... We seem to run out of stuff to communicate about really really quickly-she cares, but I can see her eyes glazing over-and I'm wondering if this is an Ni/Ne or Ni/Se chasm.

Sorry about the mini thread derail.

One last thread derail post: So, why's she "doing her best to fit the profile?" OK, from this limited knowledge, she's an ESFP... why her boyfriend wants her to be an ENFP is beyond me. Oh, and there is no Ni/Ne chasm... only an Ni/Ne orgasm.

My guess is that her boyfriend read the whole INTJs+ENFPs = true love shebang; told her about it, and now she's expressing herself in ENFP terms to make the relationship work (unless she is an ENFP, in which case, maybe she's just learned to be more comfortable expressing herself- she's very young). It's worked out though - they're both incredibly touchy-feely and work really well together!

I love everything about this post. If it wasn't written by a ENFP I might be angry that someone can see inside me so well...lol

Nicely done.
