Thought the rarest is INTJ, not INFJ.

Magnoliaa:

And what is esoterisism? The definitions of it I'm seeing online is convoluted.

Being an INFJ hasn't been easy, but reading this post gave me a huge relief from a serious depression that kept growing gradually despite having the necessary comfort I need.

And here are some of the attributes I have,

1. I try to be perfect, even when other don't give a dam about all the details and due process. In the end, they're rewarded, sometimes better than me who was honest. i.e I hate to cheat.

2. I can't explain my honesty. Infact I would easily convince you to buy from me through words, but when it's physical communication, I would be very honest, but feel the person am communicating with has doubts, and the expression that comes with is something I can't control, thereby giving my audience reasons to doubt my reliability.

3. I want to be alone, unless my friends are around, and even at that togetherness has limits. I like privacy alot where I can think, and as questions that my second person answers. This second person (my mind) tells me what to do, the next line of action.

4. I know so many people, but only 4 guys I have called my friends. Not because they are my type of person, but because they're close to me. I don't have female friends simply because I don't associate. I would when it's time to get married.

5. My satisfaction and happiness comes from helping people when they need help. I wish I could have the world I want where there's no suffering.

6. I hate when my effort is rubbish. I trust easily, but once you loose my trust, you've lost it. It will never be same. That's why I fear I might end up being divorced in the future.

7. I easily loss interest unless there's strong satisfaction where someone was helped through my effort. Then am motivated to do more.

8. I hate criticism. Once am criticized, it takes me time to recover and move on.

9. I don't want to work for anyone. I can't survive the 9to5 routine.

10. I've a strong will, am not deterred by challenges. I believe I can take on any challenge no matter the size.

There are more, but,

11. Seems to be a destroyer. I have so many ideas I can take up right now with high probability of success, but I lack the zeal to take actions.

I mean, I like to procastinate. You no, I'll do it later...

I delay in taking actions and it's affecting my productivity.

Thanks OP for sharing this very insightful post. I'm happy now that there are others like me. At least I'll stop crucifying myself over nothing.

I have never, never, never, never in my life dreamt of this.

emilyone:
INFJ- Introverted, intuitive, feeling and judging

PhillipLemoir:
Jeez... Nairalanders, if u type Dullard.inho, it comes out as president Buhari...

Nawa o

Try it

I'm an INFJ. I was diagnosed by a Psychologist back in the 12th grade, not that it's an illness or anything, God forbid.

If you're not an INFJ, you should be VERY thankful. Trust me, it's the worst MBTI ever. I would give anything to be an ENFP or ENTJ, but unfortunately I'm stuck with being an INFJ.

It’s not everyday that you’ll come across an INFJ, but when you do, you’ll never forget them.

People with INFJ personality type are some of the rarest people in the world. They have extremely unique characteristics that set them apart from the rest.

Do you feel like you are different from everyone you know? If so, don’t worry. There’s nothing wrong with you.

Below are several characteristics that will help determine if you, or someone you know, is an INFJ.

These diamonds in the rough are a real treasure, so if you find this type of personality type in your life, never let them go!

1. THEY LIKE TO WRITE

INFJs prefer to write than speak. They aren’t big talkers unless absolutely necessary. They find peace in writing because it allows them the creativity to express their thoughts.

2. THEY OVERTHINK A LOT

INFJs are the ultimate overthinker. They can’t let a social situation just play out. No, they have to go over it in their head like a jillion times before they can feel secure. And they almost never feel secure.

3. THEY HAVE TROUBLE PUTTING THOUGHTS INTO WORDS

It’s not always easy to put thoughts into words for an INFJ. Their thoughts are often so complex and jumbled that it’s hard to figure out what exactly they want to say.

4. THEY ARE LONERS

They can often be found wandering the park alone, drinking coffee by themselves at a cafe. However, don’t assume they are lonely. They choose to isolate themselves from the world in order to get in touch with their inner self and organize their thoughts.

5. THEY CAN FIT IN ANYWHERE

At the end of the day, they are extremely flexible people who can fit in with just about any crowd. They have no problem using this to their advantage.

6. THEY ARE EMPATHETIC AND SENSITIVE

Have you heard the word empath before? This perfectly describes the INFJs of the world. They are unbelievably caring and generous people.

They will always go out of their way to help those in need. They think about what would LIFE be in other people’s shoes. This is what makes them so sensitive to the feelings of others. They would never intentionally hurt someone.

7. THEY CAREFULLY SELECT THEIR FRIENDS

INFJs prefer the comfort of their own home and they value their privacy. They would much rather be alone than surrounded by bad company. They are very selective of who they surround themselves with.

They only want to hang out with people who share the same values as they do and also respect their alone time.

8. THEY SEEK THE TRUTH

INFJs are fascinated by the mysteries of our universe. They could spend the entire night just watching the stars drift by. They aren’t interested in ordinary things like who won this weeks sports game.

They prefer to delve deep into the true nature of things. Be prepared for some heavy conversations with an INFJ.

9. THEY TRUST THEIR INTUITION

Intuition. Intuition. Intuition. INFJs can easily sense when something isn’t right. This is one of their most important characteristics. Not only do they have a deep sense of intuition, but they listen to their gut feelings.

While most people ignore these feelings, INFJs have a keen sense about what is happening in their life. Their gut is almost never wrong.

10. THEY ARE FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS

INFJs might seem bipolar at times. They can go from happy to sad in a heartbeat. Their emotions are constantly changing, which can make them especially difficult to keep track of.

THEY CAN READ PEOPLE

This skill comes from their deep emotional intelligence. They can see right through people’s words and actions.

They can identify an manipulator very quickly. They use this trait to protect themselves by removing those negative people from their lives.

falcon01:
I am an INFJ.. sometimes I can be ENFP it Depends. but everything written there is 100 percent me and I soo much hate it but there's nothing I can do that's just me

Probz:


INFJs and ENFPs are each other’s shadows (none of that stuff is 100% - there are all sorts of shadow and subconscious groupings every time has). So you’re definitely not alone. Some people do kind of fluctuate between the two on a semi-conscious level so that’s just kind of the way it is (and they apparently have wonderful relationship comparability, more than any other type-pairing).

Where are you at with all this now?

pansophist:
Complex things seem very easy for me to understand. I'm not moved by materialism, I rarely get angry, but disastrous if I do, I'm pursuing a higher goal, not money, I prefer solitude and wonder if I'll ever live with a woman (but I want kids though), I'm always perceived as brilliant everywhere I go (I've been on scholarship since secondary school, and even in university abroad), I was named the best writer in my set, I have a few friends, but I can count on them.

I see through people easily, I sleep really late at night (reading and watching educative videos on youtube mostly), my natural impulse is under control (e,g a beautiful woman can never make me lose my senses), I'm a good cook, I'm an introvert to strangers, and an extroverts to friends and family, I say things the way they are, never sugar coating, I defeated my ego a long time ago, I'll treat a peasant and a royalty exactly the same, I don't like to occupy any positions of power, because I know the responsibility that comes with it, I also don't like to be in the spotlight, unless absolutely necessary (dissertations, presenting to customers)

I hate to work for people (hate being controlled and operating on others people schedules (hence I started my business long ago), broken a lot of women's heart (they don't understand my person mostly), altruistic (being bitten a lot, but just can't stop as its deeply satisfying), self-dependence (I'm not the guy you'll not want to talk to because you're scared I'll ask for help/money), responsible for those in my care (my siblings), I thoroughly understand law, directives, and any legislation that will affect my process, I joke a lot, I'm an autodidact in many areas of my expertise like business law, tax, gender dynamics, writing, photography, cooking and public speaking, to name a few. I love learning languages (I can read and write in Cyrillic). There is more, but I'll stop here.

I'm I an INFJ? you be the judge.

Loonyy:



Sorry for quoting the whole damn piece but I have to ask....can a single individual exhibit all these traits during their lifetime

Taking a long pause.....
The infamous Tim Lahaye in his Book " why you act the way you do" tried to characterize behaviour patterns into 4 categories
Nevertheless I see a whole new different character with the picture you created.

If this is not fictional but real
That individual would sure be an Interesting fellow

pansophist:


That was even four years ago, right now, it has even increased

Yes, I exhibit all those traits I wrote there. There is nothing special with what I wrote, at least I think so. I think Cavaadullam is also like that, he is one of the most eccentric individuals I know.

Na small thing remains, I can even predict the future. I have come to see life as a screenplay, and from your actions today, I can predict with a high probability what your life will be like in years to come.

Just as you plant an apple seed and you are sure in a month's time, you will reap apples, life is like that. So I think over the years, I have learned very deeply about the functions of reality, and don't trouble myself with most things.

Also, it helps you sophisticate yourself better, as you see life as vain and something to enjoy, and accept when death comes. Things that will fall most men, won't fall on me.

You are a fine girl abi? sweet. I will just admire you from afar. You can't get me like Delilah got Samson. Do you want to bribe me? lol. I don't care how much you are giving me, I am not motivated by my money in my operations.

Do you want to manipulate me? Lol. Oya come and try. I will not talk, I will be studying your operation like a scientist, and when you want to reap the fruits of your manipulations, I will now show you your work

I also think I become more empathetic. I see life as meaningless, full of sorrows, and pain, even within wealthy folks. Which makes compassion and being easy on others a habit.

Also, I hardly keep anything in mind. I write like I hate you, with tough words and hard-hitting punchlines, but it ends there. I can yab you right now, then buy you a beer in the next mins. I am also hard on myself like that, hence, I do not tolerate nonsense within me.

Make I stop here sha.
