Tell us, you're always so busy talking about yourself!
In my opinion, as an Infj, each INFJ has something quizzically bizarre/extraordinary about them. I'm often bewildered as to why entps-infjs mesh so well and sustain their wandering interest.

Like with most introverts - I'm instantly interested of who they are, and in different perspectives they offer. But I would have a bit of problem with generalization, as there is only one INFJ about whom I know that he's INFJ.
I think I may know three INFJs. They all take life too seriously, but otherwise are lovely people, and I'm good friends with all of them. I would be capable of having a relationship with both of the males if they and I were not already paired up*.
*not at the same time. They wouldn't get on......
Well like most people who interact with ENTPs, they walk away from the experience feeling enlightened and swept off their feet.
Oh, you want us to just talk about INFJs? Okay, I can do that. They seem to know exactly what my intentions are for a situation. Like all people, they can be wrong at times. Indeed they have been. I've seen it. However, I haven't met one that at least didn't have good intentions. They are very mysterious to me when I don't know them. Cool people though. I can see where an ENTP and an INFJ would really hit it off. They seem like they feel as though they can't be silly just on their own sometimes, but they really want to be.
One I know has these really deep bouts of depression that last for a day or so. They are so deep that she can sometimes feel bad physically in one way or another. I can't really relate to that. The most I ever get is a pitting feeling in my stomach, but my emotions go away so quickly that nothing ever progresses to physical discomfort.
All-around they are cool. Not gonna get my hopes up on finding one for myself, but I would jump at the chance to date one if there was a good connection.
Infjs... I have a mixed response towards you. Though, I think I've only met two people that can be considered infjs...
On one hand, your personality is really interesting. For some reason, you understand my sense of humor, exploring you is always a good time, and exposing your reluctant feelings are always a good stimulant. You keep me more balanced- after all, your life serves as fuel for a lot of insight- but you restrain me from venturing in certain areas because it would be a "bad" thing. Understandable. Probably better stated as tolerable.
On the other hand, you can definitely rub me in a way that isn't the most pleasant. Specifically when you take my love of mischief as a sign that I "need a code of ethics"... sigh.
Regardless of my... feelings, i suppose? I will admit, each of you can have a few interesting quirks. Love of Nutella, repulsion of travel... as far as I know.
But I'm interested now. What would you say are "quirks" Quiet Marvel?
um.. i honestly don't.
i only have eyes for entps. :P
The one INFJ I know is way too judging and talks too much at inappropriate times.

ENTPs pull INFJs out of their heads and INFJs ground ENTPs...just my experience (ex-husband) and opinion. ;)
I've found the ones I've met to be the most amazing, fascinating people. I adore meeting new INFJs and becoming their friends.
However, they can be too religious/stuck on their beliefs and not as motivated to be 'incredible' as I would like in an SO. I'm not entirely sure I could date one for an extended period of time.
Pretty much this... and also we are complimentary types, so we help each other grow. I've had some of my best "Aha!" moments with the 2 INFJs I know. My mom can sometimes be too "feely" or stubborn in the face of logic, but for the most part she really helps me get grounded and stuff. Can be frustrating, but a VERY rewarding relationship.
I think boundaries and actually LISTENING to the other person are key for these types not to clash, though. It took me moving out of my parent's house to really appreciate my mom and not just be irritated and resentful.
