It's my own desire--It's my own remorse--Help me to decide--Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure...

This question depends on what god you believe in, but I'll play along. :) God is Omni, "I Am", and we are all made in His image, so He is equally ALL functions--and therefore completely Other than us.

What a super insightful question! My Ni was definitely seen and highly encouraged by both parents and my extended family and church community as a child and youth, which I'm extremely thankful for. However, my Fe was not encouraged by my mom at all. My mom (ESFJ) came from an extremely...

This sums up my point exactly. ;)

IRL. I don't usually mingle much online. ;) Most of those people also don't know me well. They just know types and try I figure me out from afar--hard to do with INFJs IMO.

Others type me as an INTJ all the time and I used to think maybe I was an INXJ because I have a very strong Te, but upon further research, I discovered why my Te was so strong and then it was easy for me to fully embrace my INFJ-ness and understand why people misread me so often. I read...

You may not "change" your MBTi, but there can be plenty of false indicators along the way; especially if you are still developing your cognition due to age or arrested development, or are underdeveloped or developing functions out of order due to trauma or some other dysfunction: our minds use...

"Of course I am." :) To be honest though, I often come across as an INXJ. I won't get into the details of why that is, but my core is INFJ through and through.

I'm a graphic designer by trade. I also paint, write poetry/prose and enjoy printmaking. I was a good singer as a child and my music teacher wanted me to get formal training, but that didn't happen and I don't consider myself a good singer now. I LOVE music, and regret not sticking with piano...

I LOVE catching shows, but I need to be with one or two close friends to "ground me", otherwise I get overwhelmed by the crowds.

I've had many people throughout my life comment about my "gaze" in similar ways to what you are describing here. Sometimes it freaks me out a little because I didn't notice them watching me that intently (and I usually do notice), and because I feel like I've been truly seen, which is uncommon...

MBTi and Enneagram measure completely different things, so I wouldn't lean too heavily on letting your enneagram results lead you to your MBTi. I think you'd have to take an inventory of how much you use each cognitive function (including Fe and Fi) to get a better idea of what your type might...

Take a qualitative test that measures your use of all the cognitive functions. I think this one is the most academic and accurate. Make sure you answer according to their 3 points at the top. Especially the "If you know understand the statement, choose 'not me'"...
