They expend a great deal of effort finding precisely the right word to express what they want to say, sometimes rewriting emails many times over until they are succinct, hopefully pithy, and all the words seem exactly right (like not saying "invoke" when you mean "evoke" or "conscience" when you really mean "conscious" or "wretch" when you mean "retch").
I do this - and why would anyone confuse those words used as examples; they mean different things.
They often behave like English teachers, and frequently get asked to proofread others' writing for errors. They can be highly sensitive to misspellings or it's/its mistakes on public signage. They strive for clarity and precision, and often contribute these gifts to a conversation.
Guilty as charged. Not to be a bubble-burster, but as an INFP I too relate to the above. Proof-reader extraordinaire. Signs spelled incorrectly drive me nuts. Words are very important!
They may enjoy methods of organizing, such as the systematic "Color Me Beautiful" approach to fashion-dressing...
That was so fun - my sister-in-law and I went to one of those "Color Me Beautiful" nights - the system really works believe it or not LOL!
As an aside - I love your avatar; I have that picture and a related one in my bedroom.
SO, my point - certain behaviours don't necessarily support concluding your type.
Plus, I dislike the infjorinfp site myself as well - why? Because I can tell it's written not from the vantage point of the infp, but from infj. Not that's there's anything inherently wrong with that, but who can claim to wholly unbiased to the preference of their own type?
