[INFJ] You know you're an INFJ when...

When you hit an internal bump in the road and have to spend time clearing your mind while those around you add even more to your to do list so you end up engaging external autopilot while you clean up the internal debris

Yes, sometimes our desire to help is often a detriment to overlooking our own needs. However, I do think the "core identity" of an infj is always driven to help others and is something that never leaves us - it's just knowing/discerning when it's right to step in and when to step back.

Yes, this is true. But if you've ever been in a relationship where you have been ungratefully used-up or things have been turned against you and you're betrayed despite your desire to help, a door slam is more appropriate.

Oh yes - absolutely agree. Getting out and walking away is always the best and appropriate response. I think the "how" we go about door slamming may vary for different people. *must stop before I start to derail* x
 
Someone comments that posts on a thread are 'nail scratching' in a grating sense and you go back and edit your post.
 
You know you're an INFJ when you can accept criticism from someone but you are always willing to share your insights with them anyway.

You create a new way of solving an advanced Calculus problem that works for you and demonstrate it before a final exam to the other students who are there early.

They don't get it. You don't either. You just found a pattern that seems to yield the correct answer every time and go with it because you were unable to understand the traditional way to solve the problem.

You get an A- on the final. You still hate math and don't have a clue what you just did.
 
When you're the only undergrad in a graduate level philosophy class consisting of a professor and 4 other students sitting at a table. And, you're the oddly emotive mystic of the bunch. Oh how you love the mystics and romantics and despise the rationalists.

And when you hope that this doesn't come across as thinly veiled bragging and you just want to be understood because you have led a lonely life and recognize that this is no reason at all to be proud.
