Thanks for the link, have distributed freely. I'm getting ENFP in these tests nowadays. Must be getting soft.

Well, you can never be sure. It's always worth checking. Needless to say, I came out ISFJ.

From your second link above:

"They are usually right, and they usually know it"

Shall we go know it at them, darling?

I think we should wait for them to come to us, m'dear. They'll all have to, in time.

I must say I admire the style and substance of 'Dolphin Cove' despite a name which is a red rag to an ENTP :-) . I think INTJs work harder and more consistently than most intuitive types.

:-D I'm at the hard-nosed hyper-rationalist end of INFJ-dom.

I think you're right - I think a classic INFJ problem is the extent to which we second-guess ourselves, constantly refining the ideas in our heads, so that nothing actually ever gets done. I think INFJs often seem deceptively 'P'. (When they're not leaping to unsubstantiated conclusions!)

Why the hell do I type INTJ every time I mean INFJ. It drives me absolutely spare. In fact I *always* mistype MBTI types. It's some stupid black hole of my brain. I don't do it with anything else.

Actually I do know why - because I think of them in my head as spatial positions on a field, and never use the names except when talking to other people.

I wondered whether you meant INFJ. Having said that I *do* think INTJs are harder working and more consistent, but that could just be the INTJs I know :) The approach to using intuition seems to be more methodical (thinking?), whereas my intuition works in a kind of embarrassingly oracular way (feeling?) "I *know* that's wrong, but I can't tell you way - yet."

Other INFJs I know are very consistent and hard-working, so the laziness and procrastination could well be my own problem.

Better to confuse INTJ and INFJ than left and right, which I do all the time.

I doubt that.
