That's four words. He said "five."
Trying to get NFs riled already eh:steam:? I answered this thread before I saw there has already been some hubbub regarding our UnidentifiedForumOccupant. We like aliens here...yes we are that accepting (but not subservient tsk tsk)!Yeah, besides not knowing how to count, these NFs sound downright subservient.
Well... yeah! That's why I came over here. Looking for fresh NF quarry.Trying to get NFs riled already eh:steam:?
Kidding! Kidding!

quixotic, curious, conflicted, passionate, empathatic
Very often it is not possible to express compassion if too deeply invested. It takes a certain personal distance to successfully carry out compassion. If your empathy is so complete that you feel the entire pain of another, you become as disabled as them. Compassion often requires the ability to put such impulses at arms length, at least for a time. IMO passion is blinding, narrowing, but intensifying; while compassion is enlightening and broadening of perspective. Passion is investment in personal desire or belief, compassion is investment in something beyond self, requiring a certain separation from self.Compassion needs feeling for legitimation which almost by defintion implies a passion of some sort.
I must say that your answer is unacceptable because passionate, empathetic and quixotic all stem from the same root. NF primacy of feeling over thought.
so you're 2 for 5.

I don't think that quixotic should be considered to stem from the same root as passionate and empathetic, as quixotic is about ideas and vision.
Quixotic by definition implies romantic. You dont see too many thorough-going thinkers being hopeless romantics do you?
Like how many INTPs... ENTJs... ISTPs... or ESTJs that you know would use Quixotic as one of the five words they would describe themselves or their type in?
So quixotic is a great word for NFs, right?
The word means impractically idealistic, and for the record, I wouldn't describe myself as such, as I think that I'm a pretty realistic idealist. That said, since I spend half of my life scrutinizing people's answers to questions: If someone put "idealistic" and "quixotic" on the same list, then it would make sense to strike one off. That "quixotic" and "empathetic" are on the same list shouldn't be a problem because they don't mean the same thing. MAYBE "passionate" and "empathetic" shouldn't be on the same list (though I would disagree with that too; Toonia responded well with the reason).
Dude, quixotic is at least as much intuition as it is feeling.
How about the INTJ/ENTP both primary Intuitors? Want to call them quixotic too?
You asked for words that describe NFs.
The point is that Quixotic has more to do with Feeling than Intuitions and we know that NTs are less quixotic than NFs. Hence highly iNtuitive types like INTJ and ENTP are not quixotic, yet I do agree that it has something to do with iNtuition, so NTs are more so than STs. Yet again its manifest to me that Feeling is the salient factor.
