-The INFJ will need support and verbal support from their mate. Criticism is death to the INFJ type.

Not really. If I receive too much support I feel as if they are just trying to be agreeable with me. I need conflict to be resolved even though it will end up in an argue.

-The INFJ believes they know well almost everything, have difficulty seeing otherwise.

Yes, that's correct. Sometimes I will be seen really arrogant but I will also try to research as much as possible in a material before I even say I know what I'm talking about, otherwise I will just stay quiet.

-The INFJ may not openly show/verbalize the extremely deep feelings they may have.

Very true. I struggle a lot to make my feelings known to others until it reaches to a point of needing to express them. I'm reluctant to do it most of the times.

-INFJs typically enjoy idealized settings, they may revisit a first date venue, first kiss, marriage proposal site, etc…be disappointed if mate does not see the benefit of such activity.

Yes, I'm like that. That's why I have thrown or place things on fire so that way I don't remind myself of how things were in the past.

-The INFJ needs relationship. They can be quick to begin one that is not good just to have one, the quickly change when the “real thing” is found.

Nope, not true at all. I'm quite fine by myself.

-At times, the INFJ can probe too deeply in relationship, looking for hidden meaning, not knowing their mate is irritated by such probing.

I quite didn't understand this statement.

-The INFJ can be among, perhaps is, the most stubborn of all the types. INFJ is very patient but when time has run out they will write one off forever.


Yep, I'm a very stubborn person, to an extent of having all the facts in front of me that go against my decision and would still go on ahead to do them.

-This type will bond deeply with children, try to be their friend.

Don't know. Have no kids


-Will have a potentially rich fantasy life

The rich fantasy life...is my life lol

-Very affectionate at their own time and in their own way.

Yep, sometimes I will throw off my friends that suddenly with no warning I will jump up to them and give them a huge hug when most of the times I will not.

No, really, it's okay. I just might not believe them.

The INFJ believes they know well almost everything, have difficulty seeing otherwise.
Exactly.

The INFJ may not openly show/verbalize the extremely deep feelings they may have.
Yeah, most of the things I think aren't really acceptable. Like, not in a sociopathic sense, but just in a general social sense. I kind of go around acting affable or however I'm pretending to be to a certain person.

INFJs typically enjoy idealized settings, they may revisit a first date venue, first kiss, marriage proposal site, etc…be disappointed if mate does not see the benefit of such activity.
I'm a whore for nostalgia. I like to walk around places I've been before just to see what it evokes in me. Actually, I just really like experiencing interesting things, emotionally.
I've never had a decent relationship, so I can't really understand this conflict.

The INFJ needs relationship. They can be quick to begin one that is not good just to have one, the quickly change when the “real thing” is found.
No, I'm happier to be single.

At times, the INFJ can probe too deeply in relationship, looking for hidden meaning, not knowing their mate is irritated by such probing.
I do this all the time anyway. Haha.

The INFJ can be among, perhaps is, the most stubborn of all the types. INFJ is very patient but when time has run out they will write one off forever.
INFJ doorslam. haha.

This type will bond deeply with children, try to be their friend.
I like kids. I work with them, it's my job. Only the nice ones, though. I secretly fantasize that the nasty ones will all turn into blueberries, like in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Most of them I don't mind though, and I really mean that.

Will have a potentially rich fantasy life.
I'm usually trying to escape reality some way or another.

Very affectionate at their own time and in their own way.
It's hard for me to be affectionate, but I've gotten better. It's easier when the other person takes the lead. :)

That all fits me very well. I'm a romantic sucker and fantasize over all the "traditionally" romantic things, like a candle-lit dinner.

-The INFJ will need support and verbal support from their mate. Criticism is death to the INFJ type.
Depends on the context. If I'm ready for criticism (like in a debate or for a paper or in an argument), then I won't usually take it to heart. But if comes outta nowhere, I'll wonder what triggered it, and fall down a rabbit hole of self-doubt.

-The INFJ believes they know well almost everything, have difficulty seeing otherwise.
Well. Only when I know more and I'm right.

-The INFJ may not openly show/verbalize the extremely deep feelings they may have.
With a few people I've known for a very long time, I wil try. But generally I will not, for fear of my feelings not being returned.

-INFJs typically enjoy idealized settings, they may revisit a first date venue, first kiss, marriage proposal site, etc…be disappointed if mate does not see the benefit of such activity.
Hm. Yes, but only if the memory is pleasant. If it's bittersweet, I shut it out out out.

-The INFJ needs relationship. They can be quick to begin one that is not good just to have one, the quickly change when the “real thing” is found.
I think I did this when I was younger and just starting to have relationships. But now, if it doesn't feel right, I either won't pursue it or I'll cut it off after a couple of dates. Don't wanna keep my soulmate waiting, after all.

-At times, the INFJ can probe too deeply in relationship, looking for hidden meaning, not knowing their mate is irritated by such probing.
I probe deeply when I'm unsure of where things stand, or when I'm curious as to the depths of my partner. Rarely have I irritated someone with that though.

-The INFJ can be among, perhaps is, the most stubborn of all the types. INFJ is very patient but when time has run out they will write one off forever.
When my long stream of patience has run out, I do need to retreat. But it's not forever. Definitely years though, for anger/bitterness/pure exhaustion to seep away.

-This type will bond deeply with children, try to be their friend.
Try? I succeed.

-Will have a potentially rich fantasy life.
You bet your sweet bippy.

-Very affectionate at their own time and in their own way.
Yes! In my own time. And my own way.

The INFJ will need support and verbal support from their mate. Criticism is death to the INFJ type.
Maybe not death, but I don't take criticism well, constructive or not. It's very hard for me to not leap right to berating myself for being a horrible person when someone is upset or annoyed by me. I often need to be reassured that my partner doesn't secretly hate me.

The INFJ believes they know well almost everything, have difficulty seeing otherwise.
I don't believe I know everything, but I tend to beat myself up for not knowing everything. Getting something wrong ties into that fear of criticism.

The INFJ may not openly show/verbalize the extremely deep feelings they may have.
This is less true with partners than friends and family. I get very insecure about how strongly I feel things, so I usually try to hide it.

INFJs typically enjoy idealized settings, they may revisit a first date venue, first kiss, marriage proposal site, etc…be disappointed if mate does not see the benefit of such activity.
Nah.

The INFJ needs relationship. They can be quick to begin one that is not good just to have one, the quickly change when the “real thing” is found.
Yes, sort of. I am quick to start a relationship but the chance doesn't come along often. I think the way this one is phrased it might give the impression that INFJs are rarely single. I'm more often single than not, and I'm more often in an unhealthy relationship than a healthy one.

At times, the INFJ can probe too deeply in relationship, looking for hidden meaning, not knowing their mate is irritated by such probing.
Oh yes. But it'd be hard for me not to know my partner is irritated by it. That doesn't stop me from reading into everything, though.

The INFJ can be among, perhaps is, the most stubborn of all the types. INFJ is very patient but when time has run out they will write one off forever.
I can be very stubborn in certain situations, but very accommodating in others. I usually only push back if something about the situation makes me very anxious or someone is doing something Wrong.

This type will bond deeply with children, try to be their friend.
I hate kids. Bad memories of primary school. No kids.

Will have a potentially rich fantasy life.
Sure, but I'm rarely comfortable sharing it, even with partners.

Very affectionate at their own time and in their own way.
Very affectionate when we have some privacy. In public I mostly just stay close to my partner and bask in their presence. I'm big on physical contact in either situation.
