Hmm well the scorpio on the sun and moon would likely make you a very passionate and probably emotional person although I imagine this would be somewhat tempered by the grounding, earth energy of your virgo rising. You have a mutable sign (virgo) on your rising which means that on a first impression you probably come off as flexible, adaptable, intellectual, reserved and probably humorous/curious. These are just my best guesses and I am by no means an expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. One more question; are you female or male?
Female. I can definitely be emotional and passionate. I can come across as all those other things as well. I think initially I come across as reserved and serious, maybe intellectual because that's not so personal; I tend to be initially cautious around new people. Once I get to know a person my curious, flexible, and fun sides show more. I've been told I can be curious to the point of being annoying at times.

Another question, how old are you?

Do only feeler's use their emotions as a device to manipulate others is morally questionable?

No I just think the tendency presents it's self more often in feelers as they have less of an intellectual filter on their impulses. A thinker might be tempted to emotionally manipulate, but may decide it's wrong by looking objectively at how it could effect others/the harm it could cause.

Do you suppose this is a subjective or universal tendency?

In your estimation of things, is this tendency a subjective one, or universally applicable?

I'm still not sure what you mean, earlier I said I think the tendency is more likely to present it's self in feelers than thinkers. Does that answer your question?

Do you suppose that this likelihood of the tendency presenting itself in feelers over thinkers, applies to all feelers and thinkers?

Sure, if you're basing it on their MBTI alone, I think it would be fairly safe to assume that any given feeler would be more likely to present this tendency than any given thinker. That's not to say there aren't individual thinkers who have more of the tendency than individual feelers, but that's not going off of MBTI, that's going off of individual characteristics independent of MBTI, in this way that has more to do with the individual than the MBTI type as a whole

Because they are less likely to use facts/data to support their opinions so they often need to use other means of "bringing people to their side". They need other ways to convince people their ideas are right because they can't support them with data so they can slip into the trap of using emotional manipulation more easily.

And how does that relate? I think I gave you a cannon load of honesty. If you attack an INFPs core beliefs you're going to get an earful. Which you well know which apparently was your goal. Would you like fries with that?

It's not as much your core beliefs but it's your self-image I was trying to tackle. We're a lot more underneath the labels. And in these forums/chats it doesn't get more than just some superficial "oooh, I'm a I-N-F-P, I like cute stuff... and I wanna save the woorld..., I'm a deeeeep abstract thinker.. whoooahh." Not much ppl want to involve themselves beyond that. It's always safer in the crowd under the umbrella of popular labels.

So what do you want to know?

Edit: You're a frustrating individual as you come in drop a response and pop out again. Forum ghost.

Hey Population: 1, I know this sounds kind of crappy, but I would appreciate it if you left my posts alone. I don't see a point in engaging in a conversation that is just going to be seen as silly. So please, I ask that you don't post anymore on my stuff. Thank you
