I'm a very strong INFJ. My J-ness informs or regulates how much more logic I use as opposed to my F. I feel strongly many times after thinking something through logically. In other words, my logic informs my feelings.

It doesn't disagree with the quote in my post above. Yes?
I'm always a strong iNtuitive. Although I have some definite tendencies towards extraverted Sensing... Texture, color, sound, smell, etc. All very strong.
I'm a friendly Introvert, which can skew results. But I need my alonetime in my space. Or else bad things happen. ^_^ Large parties are also bad.
I have intense problems with "deciding between T and F", which is sorta explained above.
I have mild conflicts with P and J. I think it's that I have learned to be more J, but I prefer being P. On some things, I'm very decisive, but on others... not at all.
Have you seen INFJ or INFP? It's very interesting to me. :)

That's right. Us NF's see most things that pass themselves off as opposites as not being opposites. Either a part of each other directly, or one is a subset of the other. Or we find the missing link which naturally connects the two.

Likewise. One INFJ relayed it to me this way: the difference between an I and an E isn't so much that one is a people person and the other isn't, but it becomes a question of how you recharge your batteries. If you need quiet time to recharge, you're an I. If by being surrounded by lots of people does it for you, you're an E.
Yeah, I've seen those groups. Not much talk in them usually other than 'hi, I'm one too. Here are my scores. Gee, it's nice to know I'm not alone.' :)

Whee intuition/logic! Analyzing, relating, and making bunches and bunches of connections.
*nods* As always, the "energy" explanation of introversion/extroversion rings true. :)
Groups? INFJ or INFP is a webpage helping people look at whether they're an INFP or an INFJ and other aspects of mbti theory.
If you're referring to lack of traffic in the mbti communities... well, that varies a lot. _infp_ group seems to have a fair amount of discussion. (Surprise, surprise) :)

Personally, I find that there are so many different bits of data out there that trying to fit them into information by considering each piece is ultimately futile. So, I learn what I can, considering that emotional states and reactions are vital data, often more valid than simply observable causal acts. Once I've learned them, I let them percolate and mix in with the other bits of things that I know. When I'm called to make a decision, I find one (or usually a few to several) that seems to flow the best with what I perceive the overal situation to be. I don't know why I've come up with the decision that I have but it works so much better than if I try to reason out a solution. If asked why I made a decision, I'll either give them a long winded explanation similar to this one or just make up some reason. That reason will logically follow from the other data but I couldn't tell you if it was ( ... )
