none of these fit me.
[INFJs can] be fiercely independent - willing to subject themselves to skepticism or criticism in order to make their vision, driven by their strong values, a reality. They are earnest and exude an unshakable faith in their beliefs that engenders trust and respect in others.
when people aren't on my side about what needs to be done; i generally don't take any action. when people are skeptical, i usually let them win. i'm not much of a doer...
Because they believe so deeply in the correctness of their positions, they can be somewhat judgmental or dismissive of competing views. INFJ's single-mindedness can become a liability if they are not flexible enough to modify their plans once they have embarked on a course of action - much like a person driving down a highway and making great time but, unfortunately, going in the wrong direction.
this is totally not me. when people have a problem with what i do, i try to get completely outside myself and question all of my assumptions. i'm quick to admit when i'm wrong, or when i haven't factored something into a decision. i do tend to think that my opinions are more well thought out than most, but i'm not closed-minded at all.
i've made sure i became the type of person that will listen to other people's qualms because my mom is exactly the opposite and i can't stand people like that. i guess it's possible i'm deluding myself here, but honestly, i admit i'm wrong all the time.
INFJs' perfectionism can also result in a tendency to be stubborn and unyielding, especially on issues of morality.
i'm never very stubborn about morality. in fact, i always just think of morality as too subjective to be sure about. i'm always the one defending people that have done something "wrong". almost everyone i know has an easier time taking a moral stance than i -- actually, literally everyone. i swear, i rarely take moral stances ever. (unless something is insanely blatantly clear, and even then, i still end up explaining/rationalizing the action)
Since INFJs are motivated by their values and deeply held convictions, they tend to take things personally or become offended when no hurt was intended. Unfortunately their sensitivity can cause them to become defensive, to cut people off, or to reject ideas that don't meet their high standards.
eh. i guess this is kind of true in a sense. but most things that normal people get offended by, i don't. at all. i always see and fix possible misunderstandings way before reacting to them.
the only things i get offended by that surprise people are things having to do with subconscious motivations. like, if i see that an action is actually motivated by a self-destructive drive to push away people that are close (like me), i'll react to that. most of the time, my friends have no idea what i'm talking about until i explain myself.
Because they are so ruled by their vision and sense of integrity, they may feel their view is the morally correct one and it would be unjust to yield or compromise.
nah. i rarely ever think my moral stance is "better". in fact, i think other people's sense of morals is better than mine. i never know when my moral stances are justified. morals are defined by sort of an average, so if my morals are off the average, they aren't really "right". i trust others to be closer to the average than i am.
edit: i guess i can be dismissive because i just assume that i've thought things out better than anyone else. so when i'm confident in my views, i probably come off as dismissive. but i don't just blindly dismiss people -- i listen to them. i shoot their ideas down most of the time because there will be an obvious flaw in their reasoning. but if their reasoning is sound, i have no problem changing my view. it just doesn't happen that often.
a lot my friends are too intimidated to even argue with me because i guess i have a strong tone when i talk about my ideas. and i'll find flaws in reasoning quickly and point them out. but i think they know i'll at least listen to them if they bring something up. they just aren't confident enough in their views to bring them up to me, only to have them shot down. ironically, i respect my friends that disagree with me way more than the rest of them. i love arguing, and i'm wrong often. i like being wrong (although i like being right more obviously).
but honestly, one doesn't learn from being right all the time. i always take being wrong as an opportunity for growth. meh.
