The brain remains flexible even in old age. It is difficult to make a direct comparison with small children, as they do not yet have to consider so many different aspects. When learning a foreign language, adults may be thinking about what they need to buy for dinner and whether they have enough...

You're right. And then the question remains, would you even want that? I, for one, am actually happy being an INFJ. Perhaps it's a kind of low entropy. So at some point, the character settles into a certain position because that's where it needs the least energy?

While reading this, a few things came to mind that are relevant to the topic. There was a brief mention of epigenetics, which is the modification of our genes by the environment. This is a relatively new field of research and shows how flexible living beings are. And not only that. I think that...

I just wanted to mention that in connection with an argument given further above: So in your case, it's not that you're accepted into a group because of your different kind of intelligence, in order to give the group a balanced foundation of different intellectual abilities, but rather that...

One of the things that INFJs are always said to do is that they want to explore everything and see and understand the connections between everything. And that is precisely the basis of intelligence. I don't mean that INFJs are fundamentally more intelligent, but it also depends on whether you...

🤣 No cure. I hope so... But they think more about everything and try to figure everything out and understand it. What could be more intelligent than that?

I always ask myself in discussions about human free will, why do people doubt free will? Is it because people would like to be without responsibility for their actions, is it because the doubters possibly have no free will themselves and want to deny free will to other people? Personally, I find...

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's not just the brain that is involved in processing information, but the whole body. The old mechanistic view of the human being, which degrades us to a mechanical gearbox, has no meaning for me. From my own experience, I know that it is not only this...

Have you also read the Wikipedia articles on this? I don't think such an experiment says anything at all about free will. Of course impulses come from the unconscious. But these impulses are the result of my whole life and my personal character. Of course, the brain tries to use this information...

For me, intuition is something like a self-programmable instinct. We humans are able to make decisions over and above our instincts. Animals are not as familiar with this. It has already been briefly mentioned here that we usually think in a linear way. This is due to language and the need to...

Are you currently able to supply your house with this energy, yes or no?

My opinion is rather that INFJ have the ability to adapt. Depending on the environment and requirements, we are able to behave optimally. This ability may also be the factor that fundamentally distinguishes an INFJ from other characters. However, this is not opportunism, but rather the skills of...

Oh no, he was pretty relaxed. I've been with this company for over 46 years, I'm going to retire soon anyway. If I wanted to I could leave at any time. I know he didn't want me to. So I say to myself more and more often that they should do what they want.

Just from today I can give a simple example. I wanted to point out some missing information in a safety-relevant document to my boss. He ignored my requests and attacked me personally. Now there is no way I am going to beg him to allow me to help him. Let him fight with the security auditors...

I also believe that we are not changing tremendously in the basic things. However, I do think we are changing in how we interact with the world around. It was only a few years ago when I found out that I was an INFJ-A. A lot of things in my life became clearer to me after that. But I have also...
