INFJ 4: "Be true to yourself in all things"

Also INFJ 4: *personality drastically changes depending on who they're around*

therealsecretofmagic

The way I see it, growth necessarily requires change, but change doesn’t necessarily mean growth.

Hey , Can you please compare inferior Si to inferior Se ? I feel most descriptions make them seem too similar , especially if they are unhealthy ( physical symptoms , taking any pain for a grave illness , being detached from reality , etc..)

I considered writing my own assessment, and then wondered: why reinvent the wheel when someone else has already written a good analysis? :P

Se grip: what uncharacteristic impulses you get when feeling completely overwhelmed or at your worst, e.g.: Do you suddenly feel that your thinking is messy and the future opaque, like you’re just going through the motions without any meaning? Do you feel tired of overthinking? Do you often feel an underlying frustration or anger, ready to snap/rant/rage at the slightest provocation, or even want to systematically tear someone down? Do you make a lot of careless mistakes? Do you restlessly seek out “facts” to support your ideas/actions? Do you stew about events that you know are out of your control, sometimes berating yourself for mistakes and wanting a do-over? Do you become less focused, more clumsy, or lose some control over your body? Do you feel the urge to bury/lose yourself in some physical task like cleaning, organizing, exercising, or mastering a hands-on skill? Do you compulsively check on certain things or fuss about aesthetic details in your environment, even your/others’ physical appearance? Do you get strong urges to escape problems through sensory activities/pleasures like drugs, eating, sex, etc., and then afterwards kick yourself or feel guilty for such useless behavior? Do you get a strong urge to do something new/crazy because of feeling disturbed by vague underlying restlessness? Do you feel an urgent need to take action or make a change because something triggers you to believe that you are not where you want to be in life? [source: mbti-notes]

Si grip: what uncharacteristic impulses you get when feeling completely overwhelmed or at your worst, e.g.: Do you feel as though you have lost your creative spark? Do you suddenly feel uninspired and lack motivation to explore interesting ideas or possibilities, wanting instead to withdraw and reflect on your own? Do you feel alone and isolated, like no one could understand you even if they tried? Do you hyper-focus on one particular worry/issue? Do you obsess endlessly over tiny little details (that you would usually brush off) or replay some past mistake/event over and over, irrationally believing that it is the root of your current malaise? Do you beat yourself up for repeating mistakes or negative patterns of behavior? Do you find yourself being uncharacteristically anxious, pedantic, compulsive, finicky, nitpicky, or irritable? Do you feel irrationally pressed for time, suddenly panicking about never finishing everything you aimed to do? Do you easily fall ill when under stress, usually because of neglecting your physical health for long periods? Do you get hypochondriacal, irrationally fearing that every minor ache or pain is a symptom of a grave illness or disease? [source: mbti-notes]

INFJ: calming presence, a hopeful soul, romantic romantic romantic, wise beyond years, wants to cuddle most of the time, won’t start a fight, extremely positive, doesn’t talk about inner feelings, needs time alone

Also INFJ: has no chill, none, zero chill, anxious ball of fire that consumes their soul, doesn’t think anyone can really love them, scared to hug people, will snap if someone crosses a value or disses a deep passion of theirs, will casually mention a past trauma, will party with 10 of their friends for 4 days straight

Hello:) I just want to start by saying, I really enjoy your blog and can relate to a lot. Would you mind writing/ posting something about INFJs as teachers? I'll be graduating soon and a lot of people mentioned I'd be a great teacher but I'm not sure because I'm rather insecure and need to recharge often. (Excuse me, if this is akward, I've never posted an ask before) Hope this made any sense ... Thank you and have a great day!

Oh, I feel you. As a super introverted individual, I don’t know if I could handle teaching every day. I’ve tutored, and I actually worked as a camp counselor once, so I kind of have a grasp on my own personal capabilities in this department.

Reasons INFJs might not make good teachers:

- Our high key introversion. Like, six hours a day, talking to a class, center spotlight…idk man. When I was at camp, those kids asked so many questions per minute I thought I was going to die. I never had enough time to recharge.

- Our perfectionist and idealist tendencies. I have pretty high expectations, and I’m not sure what I’d do if my vision for my students didn’t come to fruition.

- This is probably gonna sound dumb, but…articulation. INFJs aren’t always the best at explaining things in concise terms. We tend to throw in a lot of similes as we stumble over words. I guess it depends what department you go into, what age group, and what you’re most comfortable with. I would first try to get as much experience in the field as possible to build up my confidence.

- Standardized tests/lesson plans. I feel like in some schools, teachers don’t have the creative liberty to teach students as they see fit. I wouldn’t like that rigidness.

- Parent-teacher conferences. I’ll just leave it at that.

- The pressure. As an INFJ, you’re going to want everyone to succeed. You’re going to want all your students to graduate or pass the AP exam or just move up to first grade. I feel like I would take it really hard when my students fail.

- I’d need an audience that was willing to listen. I don’t think I could handle a bunch of people tuning me out, like it is in college. I already get second-hand rage from the level of disrespect students show their professors. I’m worried I’d be a hard-ass about manners, and they’d all hate me lol.

Reasons INFJs might make excellent teachers:

- Our empathy and ability to understand others. This might make it easier to find ways to help each student develop his/her skills or pinpoint what is troubling them. I’ve tutored friends and strangers before, and they tend to like working with me because I’m patient with them, and I can tell how hard to push. Sometimes, we can also connect with the difficult students better than others. (For some reason at camp I attracted all the bullies, and it was interesting to see how they behaved around others after I’d earned their respect).

- We get a rush from helping others. I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love being able to spread knowledge and help people solve their problems. All through school, I was so smug and happy when my peers asked me for help lmao. And who wouldn’t want a teacher who loves their job?

- It’s an important occupation, with real influence. I know we’re all struggling to make a difference int he world, and teaching is a perfect avenue for that. Education is one of the most important things in society. Plus, you can literally change people’s lives, in more ways than one.

- We can adapt. It’s not really INFJ-specific, but we can activate extroverted qualities in places we are most comfortable. Over time, your classroom will probably become like your home, and you will adapt to your students and your lecture material. Once you get the swing of things, it will probably become less taxing and unnerving, and you’ll break out of your shell.

Wow. This is so long. OMG.

I guess to summarize, if you think you can handle the stress of a career that is mostly geared toward the extroverted, then I would really, really encourage you to pursue teaching.

sensa-tion

Ni in all four positions

Dominant: *Sitting in lotus position with eyes closed* I am at one with the forces of the universe, able to perceive the distant future and all the factors that will lead to its formation in a plethora of domino effects and chain reactions. You see that tree over there? It’s an Alaska red cedar, which has a lifespan of about 3500 years. To you, it must be quite a long lifetime, but to it, living for thousands of years is nothing special. Much like a typical dog only lives for a bit over 10 years, a single lifetime for you would be the equivalent of multiple lifetimes for it. Or even for a fruit fly, living for under two months is a full lifetime and if it could experience bafflement, it would at the concept that some living beings can live for decades, or even for a single decade in a dog’s case. But all this pales in comparison to the universe, which is the only thing that will outlive all else. You and I will die eventually, as will every other person and living thing that exists, but the universe will keep existing, hosting life in whatever form it takes. Humans are the only life known by us capable of understanding concepts such as this, which may suggest that we have a meaningful role in the grand scheme of things, but an average human’s only contribution to this grand scheme is ensuring the existence of other humans in the future, which can be seen as… *Fails to notice that the person they’re talking to got bored and ditched them sometime around “It’s an Alaska red cedar”*

Auxiliary: *Reviews vision for the future* Excellent, all is happening according to plan. *Something doesn’t happen according to plan* SHIT SHIT SHIT THIS IS NOT OKAY WHAT DO I DO

Tertiary: *At a bar* I’m getting kind of a creepy vibe from that guy sitting by himself over there. But maybe he’s just a normal guy who wants a drink after a long day at work or maybe all his friends are busy. I mean, not every guy who goes to bars alone is a creep *Sees said guy pester a woman for her attention and not leave her alone even after she turns him down multiple times* Yo, I was right. She looks really uncomfortable. I should step in and do something, I’m getting the feeling that he’s not gonna take no for an answer anytime soon. Alright, aux-Se, do your thing.

Inferior: *Is asked to consider the future/abstract ideas* yeah how about i fuckin don’t lol

sensa-tion

Se in all four positions

Dominant: *Sitting and watching tv while changing their position every 10 seconds* UuuUUuUGGgGGhHHhhh WHY CAN’T I EVER SIT STILL *drops down to do some pushups and situps* gotta look good for all the cuties out there *goes out to get some post-workout food* YAY I’M OUTSIDE <3 *looks at sky* OMG IT’S SO PRETTYYYY *gets food and sits down to eat it* *eats food in under a minute* *starts walking back home* SO. BORING. NEED. STIMULATION. but not gonna lie I probs look pretty *checks self out in window reflection* I WAS RIGHT????

Auxiliary: I am so… Relaxed… At ease in this environment… So satisfied with reality as it is… *runs into a problem* WASSUP MOTHERFUCKER YOU WANNA FIGHT LET’S GO

Tertiary: *Goes for jog* *showers and grooms self* *puts together aesthetically pleasing outfit* ENxJ’s Tips for Success #15: You gotta look hella fine *goes to McDonald’s and indulges on fries*

Inferior: *Goes to get the mail* *gets overwhelmed by all the sensory stimuli on their way to the mailbox* WHY IS EVERYTHING SO INTENSE MAKE IT STOP *gets mail and returns to their dwelling* awww yeahhhhh peace at last

sensa-tion

Ti in all four positions

Dominant: Imo killing another human being would be justified if it meant preventing something worse from happening, like if Donald Trump became president and someone assassinated him to prevent the US from getting totally fucked by a leader like him. But if that did happen, there would always be a chance for there to be some unfortunate consequence such as someone worse rising to power or violence becoming more prominent in the US as a result of protests and other movements caused by the political unrest and WAIT DOES “UNREST” MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS *Googles definition of “unrest”* oh fuck yeah, I was right.

Auxiliary: *Tries to staple two sheets of paper together* *Stapler is broken and can’t staple* *Takes a staple out and pushes it through the sheets with their bare hands*

Tertiary: *Gets a near-perfect score on a math test* That felt nice, I could totally make a career out of doing math if I wanted to!

Inferior: *Sees person about to do something mildly dangerous* omg do you know how dangerous that is don’t do that you’ll hurt yourself or someone else

sensa-tion

Fe in all four positions

Dominant: I love my friends and family so much, they’re what get me out of bed in the morning. Oh yay, there’s someone I know over there, Imma go talk to them and then text someone else to make some plans for tonight.

Auxiliary: What do some people find so tough about being nice and accommodating to one’s fellow man? I need a fucking nap tbh, I’m sick of all the conflict and inconvenience in this world.

Tertiary: hey ;) wassup beautiful? ;)

Inferior: *Feels something towards someone* YO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT????? IS THAT A POSITIVE FEELING ABOUT SOMEONE????? GET IT THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME I KNOW THE PERSON PROBABLY DOESN’T RECIPROCATE IT @EMOTIONS DON’T FUCKING PLAY WITH ME LIKE THIS
