Simply stated, I am an introvert who uses my intuition; is symbolic; enjoys the arts and science; is sensitive, loyal, and emotional; but also can be somewhat detached and logical; and holds truer to my personal values than anything else. I suppose you could call me an MBTI mutt because I'm not a pure INFJ or INTJ. I have noticed that when I am stressed I favor my INTJness, but other than that I favor INFJ. INFJs are good at making their point in writing, but not verbally. If I have convey information or want to to explain how I feel to someone, my INFJ and INTJ mix: I write everything I want to say in a nice concise list. I often speak in metaphors or use symbols. It is difficult for me to just explain something in black and white because I need to use comparisons. It's quite easy for me to make these comparisons, because everything is connected in some way in my mind. Sometimes it feels as though people don't understand my comparisons or what I have to say. If it's really important to me, I can get really upset and feel isolated and lonely. When this happens, I go in INTJ mode: I shut my "Feeling" function off because I don't like how I feel. Then I realize that I need to come to terms with how I feel and will get back in touch with my INFJ. Both types are very private with their feelings and exposing themselves. INTJs have a hard time identifying their emotions because they aren't natural feelers This is conflicting for me because my "T" makes it hard to feel everything, but my "F" demands that I identify and process every feeling, so my T and F are often at war with each other. Because of this, I never turn my brain off. I think myself to sleep, and when I fall asleep I dream about what's bothering me. INFJs are known for being very innocent and idealistic, but at the same time very realistic. I am a dreamer, no doubt, but my T makes me more realistic that most INFJs. Many people often forget about the "INFJ rage" because we are seen as being so innocent. An INFJ is very gentle in most circumstances, but if you keep hurting us, we snap. We have our rage, but what you will be more likely to experience is the "INFJ Door-slam". All that is is that you have broken our trust in some way, and instead of talking in out, we shut you out. I've only given one door-slam in my life, and even then I'm still civil to them. The problem with talking it out is that we have tried that before. Door-slams aren't given often. INFJs are often loyal to a fault, so you know it take a lot. By this time, there is nothing left to talk about, you have gone too far. Many INFJs absorb emotions from others like crazy. I do to an extent, but if I feel myself, I go to INTJ. INFJs are a very complex type to explain. We are walking contradictions. This post is just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, you can tell more about my types by my writing than me telling you, but I hope this helped you gain some insight!
