I'm sorry sir, you get the succinctness prize, but you'll have to clarify your definition of jerkwad for all viewers please. What does jerkwad mean - to you?

Oh dear, how will all the different varieties of jerkwads out there know which individual NFP to pick then?
Can I watch?
Got another good INF nonverbal:
INCHING
Inching in a certain direction is an INF's secondary nonverbal hint, reinforcing the nervous glance. If used in conjuction, both are usually directed toward an exit. The keen observer will likely translate this as the INF's attempt to make his "I need to leave" message more clear to a long-winded and short-sighted speaker.
What to do
Same rules apply as the nervous glance, only now they're more urgent. If an INF gets to this stage, he has lost any and all interest in your stupid point. His need to attend to other matters is about equal to his unwillingness to offend you by excusing himself, and he's starting to build himself up into a panic. He really needs to go take care of his business. NOW.
This is your absolute last chance to get your point made and end the conversation without a fuss. The INF's amazingly-resilient emotional dam is nearing its breaking point; if you don't stop now, the next step is that dam bursting and the INF becoming vocal. When an INF snaps, all that frustration at being forced to abandon his agenda by listening to your unimportant BS will come out in full force.
Is there a similar version, but verbally blunt for the mind-reading/sensing handicapped? My emote scanner is sadly a far cry away from being able to detect bruised egos before they mature into a feeling stampede. If it does happen to catch something, it's out of pure luck. There's no doubt about the scanner's unreliability when it comes to delivering the same results.
Interestingly, in the appendix of Just Your Type, the authors revealed that in SFJ/NFP pairs, 86% of the SFJs were satisfied with their partners, the highest satisfaction of any group in any pairing. So, congratulations on your good catch; and of course you love us, it's in your nature!
I don't want to worry you, but you deserve to know that they also reported that only 53% of the NFPs in those pairs said they were satisfied. I'm not sure what the problem is there. Maybe we tend to avoid unpleasant topics, so you'd have to work harder than you'd expect at drawing out if there's something troubling him?

How do I show/ tell an INFJ that I really do care about them? (I think I've asked this question a million times already on this site, but I'm always open to new opinions.)
