An INTJ’s two moods:

INTJ: If someone else can do it, why can’t I?

INTJ: If someone else can do it, why should I?

Don’t know the source for this but it’s interesting nonetheless.

Anyone else been mistyped like in this chart?

I’ve been mistyped as an infj before but I can’t remember what else.

Middle functions: An analysis of sorts...

SUBMITTED by Steve

I’ve always been more interested in how middle functions work together as opposed to Dominant/Inferior functions which are really black and white. What I’ve seen is…

EPs and IJs have their feeling and thinking functions stacked in the middle. What does that mean? It means they are usually more secure about who they are and how they relate to others. They can be heavily judgmental, of course, because that’s just human nature, but IJ and EP types can usually judge others harshly just as harshly as they judge themselves. They have this innate understanding of what people are made of and also what skills they can bring to the table. As of such, they have no problem poking fun at themselves as much as they do with others. No human behavior is taken too seriously for them unless it’s totally out of line. They usually have great understanding into the human psyche and how we are all strong and weak at the same time. 

On the flip side however, their perception of things usually meets two ultimate ends of the spectrum. IJs are terribly afraid of chaos. They feel this inner need to control how their lives will work out at every turn and absolutely despise surprise twists that come out of nowhere. EPs on the other hand, actively shun control. They don’t want to be locked up and asked to do the same thing over and over again. Therefore, they have a tendency to flee responsibilities or anything that makes life mundane and stale. They see no virtue in sitting down and focusing on one particular thing. 

EJs and IPs have their sensory and intuitive functions in the middle, which means they have a broader, more realistic view of what’s happening and what’s to come. They welcome the unknown with open arms, knowing they can tackle what is coming their way. They can make quick work of analyzing data as it presents itself and then adjusting accordingly. The immediate and speculatory realm for them meshes in together to provide some sort of safety heading into the unknown. They know how to balance that carefree life and responsible life together as one entity. They are sharp observers who can tell you both what is and what could be. 

However, they struggle with their sense of identity in this world in one way or another. EJ types think that as long as they lead and remain a strong figures, then nothing can knock them off their pedestals. But this requires a ridiculous amount of energy to maintain and they will often ignore, at best, wonder what are their actual inner needs. If they tap into this, it may lead to shame because they figure they simply can’t act on their own accord if the rest of the world doesn’t approve of it, therefore better to remain a strong, albeit superficial, figure because that’s what others expect of them. IPs on the other hand are totally driven by their own sense of individuality. that is honorable of course, but comes with its downside.They essentially refuse to be “boxed in”, won’t be told what to do and essentially figure that being rebellious is the best way to go through life. But meanwhile, they are not fitting in or accomplishing any of their dreams. They can often be obsessed with proving a point but forgetting to move things along. They come off as slackers to others which just perpetuates a vicious cycle of “You can’t tell me what to do so I won’t actually do anything”.

INFP vs INFJ

INFP: Dresses like a fairy princess librarian headed to Comic-Con. INFJ: Owns seven pairs of the same exact black pants, all perfectly-pressed.

INFP: I’M HAVING FEELS! INFJ: YOU’RE HAVING FEELS! Wait. I’m also having feels. Cannot compute. I shall help you with your feels and ignore my own until they hopefully go away.

INFP: I LOVE HUMANITY! (volunteers, donates to charity in appreciation) INFJ: I HATE HUMANITY! (volunteers, donates to charity anyway)

INFP: Always ridiculously late or inconveniently early. INFJ: Always right on time.

INFP: Drinks hot cocoa with heaps of whipped cream and sprinkles.  INFJ: Drinks black coffee by the gallon.

INFP: All-feeling. INFJ: All-knowing.

INFP: WHY CAN’T EVERYONE JUST BE KIND TO EACH OTHER? INFJ: WHY CAN’T EVERYONE JUST FUCKING BE POLITE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY.
