They are small but 1% really??. Doesn't it seem too low. Maybe 5 to 10%. No?


I also think you're probably wrong about them being magnets for Narcissim. Please do explain the magnet for Narcs. I don't seem to get what you mean by that

As an INFJ, you'll find out that you tend to meet people who love to take advantage and emotionally abuse people more often than not especially in relationships.

I don't know what exactly attracts Narcs but a wild guess is that they are subconsciously drawn to the aura of an INFJ, just like they say mosquitoes are drawn more to type O blood group than other blood groups.

A Narc can spot an INFJ from a picture while an INFJ can only tell after interaction, and yes, I'm speaking from experience. I've dated Narcs back to back for 7yrs+ without meeting them in the same place or circumstances.

Perhaps, constant encounters with Narcs plus the good sense of judgment and observant nature which the INFJ is blessed with, is what also makes INFJs able to see through manipulation and deceit very easily.

Remove #1, den d rest are synonymous to me..

Exactly who am as well. It's just that the love for writing is more pronounce in some of us than others. I am sure you like writing but not really love. That is, writing may not be your habit but you sure like it. That is why I am really drawn to the writings (comments) of the NLer with the moniker Pansophist.

These are MAn made philosophies.No man can define you better than yourself.

That is why those in category A have some personality traits of those in category B.

Note:Only you can define you.

You can decide to change any of those personality traits you don't like.

You are right, it's just that you may just find more of those traits in you and as you grow with experience you decide to control or reduce some of them so that you can adapt well in finding peace with God and yourself. I don't like to be called introvert because I know I am not but everything about me look introvert. Actually, I got that trait to overcome my excessive extroverted life so that I will find peace

pansophist:


That was even four years ago, right now, it has even increased

Yes, I exhibit all those traits I wrote there. There is nothing special with what I wrote, at least I think so. I think Caveadullam is also like that, he is one of the most eccentric individuals I know.

Na small thing remains, I can even predict the future. I have come to see life as a screenplay, and from your actions today, I can predict with a high probability what your life will be like in years to come.

Just as you plant an apple seed and you are sure in months time, you will reap apples, life is like that. So I think over the years, I have learned very deeply about the functions of reality, and don't trouble myself with most things.

Also, it helps you sophisticate yourself better, as you see life as vain and something to enjoy, and accept when death comes. Things that will fall most men, won't fall on me.

You are a fine girl abi? sweet. I will just admire you from afar. You can't get me like Delilah got Samson. Do you want to bribe me? lol. I don't care how much you are giving me, I am not motivated by money in my operations.

Do you want to manipulate me? Lol. Oya come and try. I will not talk, I will be studying your operation like a scientist, and when you want to reap the fruits of your manipulations, I will now show you your work

I also think I become more empathetic. I see life as meaningless, full of sorrows, and pain, even within wealthy folks. Which makes compassion and being easy on others a habit.

Also, I hardly keep anything in mind. I write like I hate you, with tough words and hard-hitting punchlines, but it ends there. I can yab you right now, then buy you a beer in the next mins. I am also hard on myself like that, hence, I do not tolerate nonsense within me.

Make I stop here sha.

You lead. I follow.

"make I first try handle this serious sapa before I resume writing again".

Tinubu wan kill me.

Sigh.

Lol, I don't know of any rich one (there probably are)--but they aren't usually swayed by riches, fame, or recognition and the likes. They...care about higher purposes, harmony with the universe, taking a noble path... such stuff.

pansophist:
Complex things seem very easy for me to understand. I'm not moved by materialism, I rarely get angry, but disastrous if I do, I'm pursuing a higher goal, not money, I prefer solitude and wonder if I'll ever live with a woman (but I want kids though), I'm always perceived as brilliant everywhere I go (I've been on scholarship since secondary school, and even in university abroad), I was named the best writer in my set, I have a few friends, but I can count on them.

I see through people easily, I sleep really late at night (reading and watching educative videos on youtube mostly), my natural impulse is under control (e,g a beautiful woman can never make me lose my senses), I'm a good cook, I'm an introvert to strangers, and an extroverts to friends and family, I say things the way they are, never sugar coating, I defeated my ego a long time ago, I'll treat a peasant and a royalty exactly the same, I don't like to occupy any positions of power, because I know the responsibility that comes with it, I also don't like to be in the spotlight, unless absolutely necessary (dissertations, presenting to customers)

I hate to work for people (hate being controlled and operating on others people schedules (hence I started my business long ago), broken a lot of women's heart (they don't understand my person mostly), altruistic (being bitten a lot, but just can't stop as its deeply satisfying), self-dependence (I'm not the guy you'll not want to talk to because you're scared I'll ask for help/money), responsible for those in my care (my siblings), I thoroughly understand law, directives, and any legislation that will affect my process, I joke a lot, I'm an autodidact in many areas of my expertise like business law, tax, gender dynamics, writing, photography, cooking and public speaking, to name a few. I love learning languages (I can read and write in Cyrillic). There is more, but I'll stop here.

I'm I an INFJ? you be the judge.

Wow.

Magnoliaa:


Yeah. They are a very small number.

Narc---Narcissist.

That doesn't seem to be the case here in Nigeria. Observe the statistics of Nigeria's profile below. According to you, you're an advocate [INFJ]. No 7 and 15 on the list below. Though not a general survey, your type occupy a fair population here in Nigeria.

By the way, I fall at number 27 on this list. So, there is it.

It’s not everyday that you’ll come across an INFJ, but when you do, you’ll never forget them.

People with INFJ personality type are some of the rarest people in the world. They have extremely unique characteristics that set them apart from the rest.

Do you feel like you are different from everyone you know? If so, don’t worry. There’s nothing wrong with you.

Below are several characteristics that will help determine if you, or someone you know, is an INFJ.

These diamonds in the rough are a real treasure, so if you find this type of personality type in your life, never let them go!

1. THEY LIKE TO WRITE

INFJs prefer to write than speak. They aren’t big talkers unless absolutely necessary. They find peace in writing because it allows them the creativity to express their thoughts.

2. THEY OVERTHINK A LOT

INFJs are the ultimate overthinker. They can’t let a social situation just play out. No, they have to go over it in their head like a jillion times before they can feel secure. And they almost never feel secure.

3. THEY HAVE TROUBLE PUTTING THOUGHTS INTO WORDS

It’s not always easy to put thoughts into words for an INFJ. Their thoughts are often so complex and jumbled that it’s hard to figure out what exactly they want to say.

4. THEY ARE LONERS

They can often be found wandering the park alone, drinking coffee by themselves at a cafe. However, don’t assume they are lonely. They choose to isolate themselves from the world in order to get in touch with their inner self and organize their thoughts.

5. THEY CAN FIT IN ANYWHERE

At the end of the day, they are extremely flexible people who can fit in with just about any crowd. They have no problem using this to their advantage.

6. THEY ARE EMPATHETIC AND SENSITIVE

Have you heard the word empath before? This perfectly describes the INFJs of the world. They are unbelievably caring and generous people.

They will always go out of their way to help those in need. They think about what would LIFE be in other people’s shoes. This is what makes them so sensitive to the feelings of others. They would never intentionally hurt someone.

7. THEY CAREFULLY SELECT THEIR FRIENDS

INFJs prefer the comfort of their own home and they value their privacy. They would much rather be alone than surrounded by bad company. They are very selective of who they surround themselves with.

They only want to hang out with people who share the same values as they do and also respect their alone time.

8. THEY SEEK THE TRUTH

INFJs are fascinated by the mysteries of our universe. They could spend the entire night just watching the stars drift by. They aren’t interested in ordinary things like who won this weeks sports game.

They prefer to delve deep into the true nature of things. Be prepared for some heavy conversations with an INFJ.

9. THEY TRUST THEIR INTUITION

Intuition. Intuition. Intuition. INFJs can easily sense when something isn’t right. This is one of their most important characteristics. Not only do they have a deep sense of intuition, but they listen to their gut feelings.

While most people ignore these feelings, INFJs have a keen sense about what is happening in their life. Their gut is almost never wrong.

10. THEY ARE FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS

INFJs might seem bipolar at times. They can go from happy to sad in a heartbeat. Their emotions are constantly changing, which can make them especially difficult to keep track of.

THEY CAN READ PEOPLE

This skill comes from their deep emotional intelligence. They can see right through people’s words and actions.

They can identify an manipulator very quickly. They use this trait to protect themselves by removing those negative people from their lives.
