I don't experience this, but I sometimes find others form attachments to me when we share such "moments". I've realized the NF way of interacting can seem a lot more emotionally intense to others, it can be something special to them, whereas to me it is rather typical. I have much higher...

I didn't take offense. I was explaining what I meant & why I disagree with your opinion. How do we know they are accurate? There is no way to "prove" type, as it is only a theory, or really a labeling system. Its accuracy is determined by confirmation from the individual, who may or may not...

Have you read Jung's Psychological Types? That is what MBTI is based on, and yes, it seeks to the indicate cognitive processes as defined by Jung. Of course there are links between behavior & thought process, but thoughts & behavior have other influences (ie. gender, culture, age, maturity...

^ Love to read (the stereotypical INFP is quite a bookworm also)....I'm not a fan of genre fiction though. I tend to prefer classic literature or literary fiction. I'd say a good chunk of what I read, a lot of people might find boring. Page turners are nice, but I want to feel like my life has...

Are you reserved? How and when? My default state is rather neutral and quiet. It takes a lot of energy out of me to express emotion; I avoid it. Unfortunately, I get accused of coldness or snobbishness because of it. To top it off, I am shy, and my level of timidity further inhibits...

FYI, J/P is a not a function....it simply determines whether or not your extroverted function is one of judging or perceiving. MBTI also indicates mindsets, not behavior. Noted behavior patterns in types can be off the mark; it's the thought process that makes the personality type. I suggest...

I think my Fi comes through more in writing. I find writing a much, much easier way to articulate my thoughts. In person, I'm a little more jumbled, less articulate, possibly relying on metaphor even more (which confuses some people as much as it's meant to clarify). As a result, I'm less formal...

When you're interested in someone, are you always aware of the reasons for the attraction? Nope. Often I am just curious about them, or there's something that I like that I can't put my finger on. Occasionally, of course, I clearly note the person is very good-looking, intelligent, witty...

I LOVED IT. I hope to live alone again soon. I technically do now, but being next door to my family, I might as well live in the same building. I don't think I'd want to live alone forever, but I don't want to share my space unless it's with someone very special....that sounds bad, but it's...

In regards to the OP, I believe language may actually be a left brain associated strength, BTW. I think right brain thinking tends to be "non-verbal". I have heard women are supposedly better with languages; so maybe that is why it's devalued. That does imply some connection to Feeling to...

I think your messages were mostly fine, and I don't see much sign of you being socially inept. You were polite, took a personal interest in her, offered up details about yourself, and you complimented her without being creepy about it. If someone does not respond to you, it may not being any...

Oh, I WANT this, especially as it takes a LOT for me to REALLY open up. I'm the kind who can be content with one really close friend. I tend to limit my people time to a few people I feel most comfortable with (maybe why INFPs are seen as "clingy" sometimes). I don't feel comfortable with most...

Something between a Catalyst and a Theorizer. I'm less people-oriented in my life than that description, and not particularly "enthusiastic". Although I have no doubt I am an NF and an INFP.

I don't "know it" because it is not true, and I don't appreciate someone telling me my own motivations.
