    I’m an INFJ, though I suspect I have a little ISFJ in me, too. (Surprising, right?)

    I relate so much to what the other INFJ’s are talking about. I do happen to be an extroverted introvert, which means I can appear to be extroverted when with friends but am really very private and need to be alone sometimes.

    And I’m too enigmatic for my own good. I like what @m_corinnemusic said here:

    I both love and hate the fact that I’m hard to get close to. People can’t read me easily. People who know me well can make educated guesses, but I can still fake them out. I love it because it makes me feel safe, because no one will know what I don’t want them to. I can read people really well and they can get close to me without me having to get close to them. I hate it because I can feel alone, and like people don’t understand my feelings. I’m thankful to have some great friends who keep me from feeling too lonely and misunderstood.

    Yeeeep. Sometimes I wish people would dig deeper beneath the surface, to show that they really care.

    I actually fit a lot of the stereotypes, except being able to tell when people are lying and organizing.

    Hmm…I can often tell when people are lying or acting, and I have a good memory to help with that.

    Oh, I wish. xD I’m not very tactful. I never know what to say.

    On that note, INFJ’s are said to be “astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and passion.” Yeah, no. Orating was never my strong point. Pretty much any speech is terrifying for me. I’m not a good speaker, even if I’m just with friends.

    Another thing about INFJ’s is that we do not like conflict. Conflict makes me nervous, and act irrationally sometimes.

    For ISFJ, I mainly relate to this personality type because of the “procrastination” aspect. I’m not at all “decisive” and “able to follow through on ideas with conviction, willpower, and the planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end” like INFJ’s are said to be. I tend to really procrastinate on a lot of things, especially if there is a deadline, since I’m a perfectionist. But like ISFJ’s, if I have said I’ll do something, I will make sure to do it.

    Okay, I think that’s about it. *wanders away into the topic to take notes*
