Last night two of my friends tested INFP positive. Should I show them this image?
t. infj

ITT: Pseuds

>>14182549
>tested INFP positive
lmao

As an INFP I sometimes find it hard to believe other personality types are even human.

>>14182489
back when I was maybe 5 or 6 my father and I took a brief but nevertheless worthwhile trip to kenya, even now I can painfully recall my emotional, juvenile state at the time.
We were a very rich family, still have the pleasure of so in expected fashion we came in no contact with any harm, no disease, no iron and steel and yet my father decided, in an attempt to spring forward my inner castrated man to volunteer ourselves to a safari, the location of which stood very close to a select few tribal villages.
about halfway through the safari, where the sweltering summer heat penetrated all portions of skin and soul, in the hazy distance you could make out with the full strength of your eyes the sight of a tribalman carrying his cultural heritage with a certain proud aura. at that moment my father gently placed his palm around my shoulder and spoke words that would continue to ring for many years after that day.

"behold son, a nigger"

I was overcome with such penetrating emotions they would bring even the most full grown men to their knees, an emotion which penetrates all auras and faculties of the soul.
While reading your comment I felt a similar yet slightly subdued interpretation of that emotion. I felt the nigger inside of you.

fuck off nigger

>>14182549
Yep. I am INTJ but I highly respect the INFJ as a non-normie personality type

>>14182489
most fiction is written by infps

>>14182533
Based list but what's INFP about all those books?

>>14182489
This is an Entp board.

The archetypal philosopher was after all Socrates, an Entp.

>>14182502
Make an Entp version.

>>14182504
autism

>>14182533
INFP here and I can confirm that this list is pretty spot on. I appreciate the addition of The Makioka Sisters, it's probably my favorite book

>>14182782
I think you'll find, many of the more esoteric Philosophers were INFJ

>>14182787
>does not compute that there can be varying psychological predispositions with a neurological basis
Yea he's definitely a train autist.

>>14182790
Hermes, Jesus, Plato, Plotinus, Confucius, Lao Tsu, etc.

>>14182790
>implying there would be a Plato without a Socrates
>implying there would be Western esoterica without Plato
It all comes back to the revolutionary Entp. But yea I can agree with you.

>>14182801
thats true, But Socrates was influenced by Pythagoras and Orpheus, who were (probably) Influenced by The Zoroaster and Hermes Trismegistus, all four of them were INFJs

>>14182798
Bruh, are you seriously telling me that you can type Hermes and Jesus let alone the all of the others? I focus on these two just because of how little we know about them and especially Jesus because the whole point is that as Jung would say is a mana-personality, he transcends these effectual structures(because mbti is more effectually true and so is useful for identification but the reasoning behind it is pretty stupid). These structures barely exist in themselves any way hence effectual.

>>14182811
Pretty much every religious figure/prophet is INFJ, thats part of their personality

who are the INTPs?

>>14182810
Anon you literally have no foundation to place those four figures as Infj other than they were mystical.

>>14182820
You can't even type these figures let alone set up a rule of thumb.

>>14182798
>Jesus

>>14182835
Mysticism is the literal foundation of INFJ. They HAVE to be atleast "NF" type.

Some of the more charismatic prophets, like Muhummad, were probably ENFJ rather than INFJ. But they definetely werent INFP or ENFP.

Do you actually have a better argument for what personality types they were? other then "muh pseudoscience isnt real anyway"

>>14182834
Psychopaths

>>14182856
>"muh pseudoscience isnt real anyway"
That wasn't my argument anon, go back and read it. And mysticism is in no way the foundation of the Infj, Jung for example was often described as been somewhat mystical in his impression on people(I mean his effect not his beliefs) but he was an Intp/Istp.

>>14182489
is this the same poster, or are there this many infps on /lit/?

>>14182765
to be honest, intj is pretty normie

>>14182866
So? I am an INTJ and I love mysticism. Im just saying, that the most highly influential mysticists, the ones who started revolutionary movements & religions are NF type. People who are alot more influential than Jung...

>>14182782
>>14182790
you all are dumb, intp master race, master of logic and not being able to talk to girls, two essentials of being a philosopher.

ISTPs are the most interesting ones. Thoreau comes to mind

>>14182888
No rare personality types are normie lol. Although it might seem that way, because INTJ is one of the most common personality types on 4chan, even though its one of the rarest overall

>>14182489
>muh astrology
your personality type is retard

>>14182889
Anon you again misunderstppd my statement. There is a difference between the belief in mysticism, and being mystical.

>>14182895
>implying Socrates wasn't a casanova
Besides as high the potential is for Intps us Entps are the true masterrace.

The INFP is the only person who truly understands how much of a clown world this reality is, all others participate in the cycle of blood but the INFP looks at it all and weeps

>>14182928
>implying the Entp cannot see the game for what it is and shews it both by irony, wit, and struggle.

>>14182928
>clown world bro

>>14182949
Markiplier, is that you?

>>14182489
I'm an INFP that wishes for the end of all existence. Sadly there's no way of making that happen.

>>14182962
haha, no frea wil 4 uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

>>14182962
Why are INFPs so pathetic?

>>14183097
we're based tho

INFP is the tranny personality.
No wonder I'm a tranny.

INFPs have higher rates of giftedness and higher IQs than INFJs. INFJs are constantly coping with their inferiority which is why they are always comparing themselves to other types. I don't mind that you behave like this, but if you had any integrity you would accept the truth. Also philosophy is cringe and poetry is a more accurate representation of the truth.
>Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.

Based.

>>14184337
As an INFJ I can at least confirm that INFJs have an inferiority complex. I also agree about poetry. Feels are unironically more important that reals because human understanding of what is "real" is limited by our life experiences and present social context. Who's to say that what we accept as fact is actually true and not just something we claim is fact because our human perception can't see beyond what's immediately in front of us? Rationalism and materialism is nothing more than hubris, IMO.

Funnily enough, a lot of my favourite writings seem to be by INFPs. I don't know if this is because they're world view resonates with me, or if I just haven't found many INFJ authors who have stuck with me.

>>14184337
>Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.
I'm an INTP +130IQ literal autist and I never understood the appeal of poetry.

When will this conversation about personality types stop? I really dont like it. I'm a INFP and I feel like I should be so much more, should have accomplished so much more than what I am, than what I did... I feel like I'm wasting my life and the time of the people I interact with.

>>14184517
>literal autist
Found your problem

>>14184685
Explain why I can appreciate every other form of art then.

if you applied this thread trough a filter that substituted INFP/ENTJ/etc with Pisces/Aquarius/Taurus/etc it would still look cohesive. you guys are literally instagram bitches

>>14184942

>has an issue with Jesus but not Confucius
Pseud atheist retard detected

>>14184709

Poetry requires thinking in imagery and symbols

>>14185565
You think autists can't do that? Kek

I always thought the INFP in a story would be the nice sweet guy sacrificing well being and social approval for higher ideals, only then to die as an unimportant minor side-character.
