Hey my fellow INFP's,
I would be interested in hearing about your experiences as an INFP and how accurately this typology describes you.
For me it is quite accurate.I like art, am clumsy and need time alone.I wad relieved to find out that there are other INFps who share my weirdness!

I didn't know what an INFP was so I googled it. I fit the profile for the most part.I like to spend at least 75% of my time alone myself. I like to be social but only in small doses.

Should take the test to verify if you are actually an INFP and not another personality type. There are more than one listed personality type that is less than social. Here's the test link... Personality test based on C. Jung and I. Briggs Myers type theory


I came up as an INFP. Makes life pretty rough, near as i can tell.

I'm an INFP as well. I love to think about the deeper side of things I could say. Encouragement to all of those who fit this personality type. We have an awesome mindset I must say!

yo! INFP here as well.

I had a strange experience at a friend's get-together a couple weeks back -

After our musical performances (it was a get-together for musicians - we all played classical pieces we were working on) I was mingling as one does at such functions. I remember genuinely enjoying the conversations, then suddenly, halfway through somebody's sentence...

...it stopped being fun. I was done. I was tired. I needed to be by myself. I was surprised how suddenly this came about - as if someone flipped a switch inside me. I came with some people, so I didn't want to rush them, but it was such a chore engaging in the chit-chat until it was time to leave.

Ha ha, I know what you mean......I love being extroverted and going to stuff like that once in awhile.....but too much time with too many people and I just wanna get out of there. My old job sucked sometimes because of that. I loved everybody there and I was good friends with everybody.....if ever I tried to go off and work by myself though, inevitably people would eventually come over and aggravate me for long periods of time

INFPs!!! I remember growing up I would go outside but everyone joked that I had a "thirty minute timer" cos I always went in after a while. Imagination? Nearly always pumping out stories and occasionally trying to convince me that mirrors are haunted if I just so happened to remember spooky stories (Thank the Lord for calming my anxieties... I don't actually think they're haunted, but you know... imagination). Perfectionist issues? Don't get me started on how much I've bashed myself. I made myself cry once mentally bashing on myself before a voice jury because I procrastinated on the paperwork and didn't get it done. (Lesson learned, don't destroy yourself mentally...). Quixotic nature? Most definitely.

I can believe that. Outsiders think us complicated- we're really not hard to understand.

This is honestly the first time I took that quiz... I don't know if it is correct or not but... Yah... I tried to answer correctly and not skew the results.
