I am very good friends with one, I think. At first I thought she was INFP, but its becoming evident that she is supremely rational in thought, and even says that out of the two of us "she's the rational one", which is quite true, even though I am fairly rational. We are both 18 years old, by the way. I suppose it may be possible she is INFJ, but INTP is more likely.
She is a deep thinker and very sensitive to those around her. She loves to read, and reads basically all the time. She makes very measured and thoughtful decisions about who she enjoys talking to and hanging out with, or just in general, and has a moral code based on observation of society and her own personal experiences in society (rather than idealism or prepackaged ideology). She's vegetarian and believes in animal rights but belives PETA is too extreme and overzelous sometimes. She's a huge nerd, and proud of it. She plays pokemon and knows everything about Star Wars and talks about 4chan sometimes. She is incredibly perceptive and sensitive to her environment, but not in a sentimental or emotional way, but in a functional way that gives her a very deep understanding. Shes more of a Ne and Fe kind of person socially, and she isnt critical when she meets people, unlike what has been suggested about female intps in general. She often says that she likes pretty much everyone she meets unless she sees a very good reason not to like them, and her actions follow this very well. I have seen her be critical though, such as when some guy we know wrote a pathetic facebook note about how no ne likes him (even tough he's quite obviously well liked by all), or when a friend of hers became so controllngand rude she had to end their friendship, or when another of our mutual friends was acting completely immaturely and insensitively at the expense of others. In these cases, she is very blunt and honest, and when she is being critical of someone she does care about (such as myself), she is quick to make sure they know she still respects the and is being critical only for the sake of self improvement or discovery.
She certainly isnt cold or emotionless, contrary to stereotypes. She is very emotionally open, but never overzelous or gushy. She's talked to me at length about some of her painful experiences in teenage relationships (i.e. betrayal), or the isolation and loneliness experienced in having to move across the country just before her final year of high school, but she talks about it calmly and with very well collected thought. She always seems to have learned something from these experiences, and is forward thinking. Another intp stereotype she debunks is that of being relativey asexual. While she approaches ralationships and sexuality with the same measured decision making she approaches anything else, she is a very sexual person. We're friend with benefits
She certainly doesn't need a man to feel complete and doesn't sweat it if she isn't getting any action, but she enjoys talking about sexual things a lot, and can easily seperate love and just being horny and having a little fun with a friend (who happens to be me, hahaha). I suppose she's very take it and leave it, and enjoys taking it when it fits in with her other obligations, values, and ideology, and has absolutely no trouble leaving it when it isn't available or there are other priorities. She also considers the risks of pregnancy and STDs and such as paramount, an will not have sex if she isn't on birth control and if she doesn't know the person well, and considers it somethat that in generla should not be taken lightly and witout consideration beforehand.
Anyway, she's awesome and I'm sort of creeped out I'm able to write such a descriptive little... essay, I guess... on her, given I've known her like five months
Wrong thread, friend.
