Well, I guess I'd think a bit less of them, but I wouldn't show it. How hard is it to put proper clothes on every morning?
Thank you Real. My decision is INFP.

He's too feely for an intj. Plus that thing about thinking about being a priest, and about how relationship issues really bother............infj, I'd say.
You said you were also close to the border on E and I. I was wondering if you could post a video of yourself, talking about whatever interests you, for observational purposes.
Also, if you identify as an INXX, you shouldn't feel required to impose an arbitrary label on yourself by choosing a single type. I myself identify as IXFX because anything else would be an inaccurate representation of me. I know the majority of the people on this board don't subscribe to the theory of subtypes, but feel free to contest the single type model if you don't feel it represents you.
If you want to talk more about the possibility of subtypes, send me a message.
Also, I'm fairly certain Russell Brand is an INXX, for reference.
^ The above post is all sorts of inaccurate, and its author is INFP.
Ok, maybe. I guess the stuff about duty to his family and friends and so on could be Fe.
To OP:
Do you have a strong sense of social and cultural standards in your community? Is it important to you to integrate into the standards your community holds up as high values?
I also don't have such a strong sense of cultural standards... when I'm abroad, I assimilate relatively easily to the new culture. Probably also a product of living all over the place.
Lenore Thomson Exegesis Wiki said:Extraverted Feeling is the attitude of viewing everything in terms of what role it defines for people to play in regard to each other. When you say "How are you?" to someone, you are playing a role. It's a role that is intrinsically connected to other people's social roles; you can't play it by yourself. When the other person says, "Oh, not too bad. How about yourself?", they are playing out the complementary role. From an Fe perspective, by definition, every act is a declaration of what role you would like to play in the social setting.
Lenore Thomson Exegesis Wiki said:Introverted Feeling (Fi) is the attitude of judging things good or bad based on how they harmonize or clash with a living being's inner essence. That inner essence or soul, and how things in the environment get along with it or conflict with it, is knowable only first-hand--ultimately, only by that soul. It is known by attending to one's own emotions in response to things. What you like is good--for you, not necessarily good for others. What you don't like is bad--for you, not necessarily bad for others. Anything outside your own soul is irrelevant to evaluating anything or choosing your course in life.
* I can argue for hours about theology or moral issues; I guess I'm a little inflexible on those.
* A result of my snap judgments of peoples' characters is that I often write people off before getting to know them deeply (though again, I'm usually right).
* I feel a need to be the best in my fields of interest and so I sometimes feel jealous of and dislike people that do better than me.
* I'm a spelling freak and grammar Nazi (though I make mistakes sometimes too)
* I often look for flaws in other people and blame those when we have minor conflicts.
Well, this doesn't sound very Fe (which is the preferred feeling function of both INFJ and INTP--though it's a much bigger priority for INFJs.)
Which of these resonates more with you? Note that Fe is more aware of how its actions affect others/the environment, while Fi is more aware of how the environment affects and interacts with our own personal feelings and values.
Thanks, that was actually really helpful. I understand and sympthize with the first view, and strongly disagree with the second. I guess I'm more feeling after all.
INFJs are always T.
If they try to be p tho it becomes ridicoulus.
best way to test it tell them that joke: "Comes a black guy with a parrot in a bar. Asks the barkeeper: "Where did you get that from ?" Says the parrot: "From Africa""
If they dont laugh about it they are infj, if they laugh about it they are infp or in love with you. If they counterattack ur joke with another joke they are T and if they told the joke they are p.

Windupbird: I'm in the same boat. I'm like a perfect hybrid between an INTJ and an INFP.
I think this is the best way to sum up my motivation. I'm motivated to achieve my full potential in my roles in life, namely to exceed in my field of work, be an excellent friend, spouse, and father, and to pursue my interests in music and art. All this is framed within a strict moral framework and a religious worldview.
I'm most interested in differences between people and how and why they perceive things the way they do. This and a love of adventure and new experiences have shaped my ambitions. I want my career to influence people and/or the world for the better, as well as be exciting and test my abilities.
Things that get me worked up, and flaws...

Also, to the man who claimed I was quoting Mark Twain in Chinese...
一位著名人说的话。
-Mark Twain
That would be quoting him as saying something in Chinese. Compare it with my signature. Note the subtle difference. Thank me for the free lesson. ; )
Nope, just an INFP struggling with inferior Te tendencies. (Prediction: My claim that you're not "a perfect hybrid" will come off as an insult to your unique individuality. Am I right?)
I wonder if it's a coincidence that the people who most frequently cling to being "borderline" or "hybrid types" and insist that they are things like INxx or IxFx long after receiving numerous explanations to the contrary are almost always INFPs. Why do you suppose that is?
Do you guys decide you aren't INFP because you read one thing in an INFP profile that didn't fit you? I mean seriously, what is it with the X types?

Ha ha. I admit freely that I have a lot to learn, but I know more than you give me credit for.
Personally, my X'ness comes about as a result of my functions use, and this, in turn has an effect on how my traits turn out.
There is a relationship between functions and traits, and a more balanced use of functions could lead to ambiguity in the traits.
