  • Very small and neat handwriting.
  • Somewhat paranoid about the larger world.

Okay, so I am removing the cheese thing. Do you like creamy foods? Yogurts or sour cream?

I know two INFJs well and neither of them display the majority of those traits.

One has an intense love of music, but the other doesn't really even listen to it.

Dang. Sanveane, do you write on the lines or in between the lines?

^On the lines, always. haha where did you observe these traits, I am curious! (btw in the interests of full disclosure, I did originally think the above question had metaphysical overtones, I was confused for a second, :)).

[*]Like cheese. A lot. Who knows why? -No. Hate cheese by itself. I like other dairy products just fine though.

[*]Very small and neat handwriting. -Very small, yes. Neat, no. My handwriting looks like a cross between script and print with italics turned on.

[*]Somewhat paranoid about the larger world. -A little bit. It's good to be a little paranoid. Means you're prepared for everything that could go wrong and have lots of backup plans.

[*]May close their eyes while doing things like brushing their teeth. -Yes. I suffer from a lot of eye strain--need better glasses.

[*]Intense relationship with listening to music. -Yes, but I think this applies to most types.

[*]Often vegetarians. -Hmm. Not I. I have little qualms about eating another animal/animal's products. This does not mean that I don't feel sad for the plight of animals raised in poor conditions. It just isn't reason enough to stop me from eating meat altogether.

I think this list is just being silly? Or is it based off of one or two people you know?

Interesting list... what's your sample size?

  • Like cheese. A lot. Who knows why? <- Most people do right?
  • Very small and neat handwriting. <- small writing correlated to I, neat handwriting correlated to J
  • Somewhat paranoid about the larger world. <- debatable
  • May close their eyes while doing things like brushing their teeth. <- interesting...
  • Intense relationship with listening to music. <- most people like music
  • Often vegetarians. <- Likely F related.

Personally, music is just background. I barely even pay attention to the lyrics. I never really listen to it. This is probably the strongest thing I've noticed about INFJ.

Some silly. Some anecdotal and silly. Short hair or long hair? Most female INFJ I know prefer short hair.

Moved from NT Rationale, since the only connection seems to be that you're an NT.

My hair is down to my waist. k, now I'm starting to feel bad for you... you're right about the music thing though, so there's that! :)

It's part of the process to be wrong. It's like this: wrong, wrong, wrong, right, wrong, wrong. The failure is part of the SEARCH for answers.

What TV shows do you like? Buffy, Dr. Who? House? I don't even know what's on TV anymore.

Hair: long.

Shows (not animated, because usually if it is animated, I'll give it a look): Pushing Daisies, League of Gentlemen, IT Crowd, Dr. Who (always seemed to miss it, but I liked what I saw), Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, Surviorman, Scare Tactics, erm...a whole slew of shows on the History Channel, Mad TV....a bunch more that gradually turn into nonspecific shows...

Not sure which of these are favourites...just liked them all.

Red. With little carebears on them. On the outside of your pants. You could be the best wannabe superhero evar. :D

Tis true. I prefer to call it adaptability, though, the evolutionary approach to behavior. A million conversational or behavioral dead-ends pushed out on impulse and the occasional successful mind child.
