Could you explain each type briefly?No apparent logic, I’m afraid
- INTJ: Poor emotional expression; has no equals; has more important things.
- ENTP: Can’t stand people — people can’t stand her.
- INTP: Misunderstood; smells bad.
- ENFP: Don’t like commitments; will have what she wants when she wants it.
- ISFJ: Likes solitude. If she wants company, company will come.
- ISFP: Already married to herself.
- INFP: Problems with bonding.
- ENFJ: Already married to Humanity as a whole.
- INFJ: Bad experiences, but doesn’t like being alone.
- ISTP: Needs company but doesn’t like chasing. One is sufficient and secure.
- ISTJ: Won’t make it alone.
- ENTJ: Won’t exist alone.
- ESTJ: Won’t have any power alone.
- ESTP: Will feel silly being alone.
- ESFP: Will die being on her own.
- ESFJ: Will simply never be alone.
Umar Al-Konshens, I am an INTP, Enneatype 4w5 SP/SX
I’m not going to even attempt to rank all 16 types, but here are some famous celibates:
Isaac Newton – Lifetime celibate – INTJ
Immanuel Kant – Lifetime celibate – INTP
Florence Nightingale – Lifetime celibate – INTJ
Nikola Tesla – Lifetime celibate – INTJ
Mother Teresa – Lifetime celibate – INFJ
Ted Kaczynski (UNAbomber) – Lifetime, involuntary celibate – INTJ
Buddha – Celibate past age 35 or so – INFJ
Jesus – Lifetime celibate – INFJ
INTJs and INFJs dominate this list, so I would surmise than Ni Doms are most likely to be celibate.
I’ll note in passing than SP types tend to, as far as one can generalise, have high sex drives, so are probably the least likely to be celibate, and if so, involuntarily so. It also seems to make intuitive sense (intuitive sense, get it, lol) that Se doms would be least likely to not be celibate, so we will probably have ESTP and ESFP at the bottom of our list.
What are the first signs of an INFJ becoming unstable?
When first met with a problem the INFJ seeks solution the easiest way; the introverted intuition, Ni. If that does not work, the INFJ uses their second function, Fe. Then the third, the fourth…The third and fourth cognitive functions are not developed enough to solve problems that the cognitive functions couldn’t solve.
Step One. The INFJ resolves to find an escape through their fourth function, extraverted sensing. This function is what makes a stressed INFJ overindulge in sensory activities such as eating, sex, watching to many movies etc. The INFJ begins to act like an unhealthy ESTP. The INFJ begins to forget about their purpose and future and start living in the moment.
Step Two. The INFJ continues trying to find a solution to the problem by referring to the other four cognitive functions. The moment s/he begins to do that, it drains the INFJ tremendously as this means Using more mental energy trying to access cognitive functions that are less and less developed. At this stage the INFJ uses their extraverted intuition, Ne, a cognitive function that enables them to see a variety of solutions to the problem. Within the INFJ, this function is not well developed, therefore the INFJ uses tremendous energy in efforts to access it, while being unable to draw answers from it.
Step Three. The INFJ looks morals and principles stored in a lesser developed cognitive function, introverted feeling, Fi. The slot here is of a pessimistic nature. The Fi is also part of the reason why Fi is constantly striving to know what they feel as their extraverted feeling nature overshadows this function.
Things become darker and darker as the INFJ keeps searching for solutions through cognitive functions placed in the lower — and more unconscious — parts of the mind. Once the INFJ sees how neither the conscious or unconscious can help find an answer, they will look to their subconscious. Then finally they turn to the superego. That Is when everything begins to burn down.
Solution
In all personality types, the auxiliary function is responsible for keeping everything together. It is responsible for the maturity of the person. It is responsible in keeping everything intact.
The INFJ is responsible for finding solutions to their problems using extraverted feeling. They must know how to find out how they can be ethical towards themselves. INFJs must know how to stand up for themselves and take full responsibility for everything they do or say. They must begin to pick up their own slack and start moving. Extraverted feeling is the best parent the INFJ has, the INFJ must learn and know how use it to regulate themselves in trying times.
Why are INFJs hard to really get to know?
Because the majority of people have the idea that the way to know someone is by understanding them. Yet at the same time, one of the most popular attitudes among people is to expect and count on others to present everything they want to know on a silver platter and then spoon feed them every bite of information that is easy to swallow and effortlessly digested—they want it to be a piece of cake.
And boy does this have a tendency to torture INFJs. Because an INFJ’s natural response is to automatically expend a lot of their focused time and energy that others seem to require from them. INFJs will put forth any extra effort it may take just to make themselves a little bit easier to understand. And if this gets them nowhere and if others get nothing they’re attempting to offer, then usually INFJs will resort to sparing others from the hassle it will become altogether. A lot of times INFJs will opt to not put themselves nor others through the trouble. Whenever an INFJ exposes any of their heart’s more abstract pieces to others or anything deep and vast, the moment they are met with excessive frustration or any overtly negative reactions, they will most likely make the decision to keep things light, superficial, and simple.
First of all, INFJs are NOT easy to understand. And we can say that of ourselves because we know firsthand how gosh darn infuriating it can be to understand us. We can’t even understand ourselves half of the time for crying out loud. So us INFJs will end up straining and stressing our minds in trying to pacify the way others have become largely accustomed to getting things that they can grasp easily, quickly and freely. INFJs are not the best at explaining themselves, and they feel like others expect them to, so they will often go ahead and try in vain with their high hopes pushing them to do so.
Secondly, there are a whole lot of things that an INFJ simply cannot explain no matter how well they understand it. There’s a large portion of an INFJ that is in fact inexplicable. And for many people, this doesn’t sit well with them and it makes a lot people feel more than a bit uncomfortable. INFJs will keep to themselves more and they won’t divulge very much with others who feel unsettled by mystery.
There are other reasons too, such as difficulties with trusting others, a strong aversion towards being vulnerable, and trouble identifying and wording their emotions in the moment as well as many more annoying issues, I’m sure. But that’s all I felt like focusing on at the moment. And right now I’m a bit exhausted so Goodnight Quora, you beautiful thing you! And sweet dreams😉😴😴😴
I’m an infj, how do I win over a intj?
INFJs naturally win over INTJs without really trying usually. They both sense depth and uncommon intelligence in each other and yet, when having discussions or sharing ideas, they have differing ways of arriving at usually the same opinion. When opinions differ, they each present sound logic for their conclusions. This is enormously refreshing to the INTJ.
Maybe the better question is, what would an INTJ not like about an INFJ? Based on being an INTJ female with a boyfriend, sister and very good friend all being INFJs, I can tell you the only thing that has ever bugged me is when they get into thought loops that take forever to break out of. It’s usually around a decision that will alter their general routine, like changing jobs or an important aspect of their current job. I look at things as “do what’s in your long term best interest” but an INFJ takes into account the impact to other people just as much if not more than their own interest. But I have also learned to respect their taking their time on such things because they usually make an even better decision than I would have. I just lack the patience for all the ruminating again and again over the same details.
I do appreciate the INFJs perspective on most things so I think the best advice is to be yourself! There’s probably nothing not to like about you and if you have to work at winning someone (of any type) over, then it’s probably not worth it or the lack of connection has everything to do with them and very little to do with you.
