I'd take it with a grain of salt. I think mine is "the protector" which is funny because I don't go around trying to save people. Well maybe a bit lol. I'd call myself the "Spiritual, dreamer rebel" but that's too long :P

I don't find being called a dreamer offensive at all. I actually think that's one of the best compliments I could get. Dreams are the most beautiful thing in the world. I feel sorry for some other types I've met that are so cut and dry and don't have the amazing worlds and stories I can endlessly conjure up in my mind. And with action involved I can achieve amazing things. Whereas those who don't have the dream to begin with don't often venture out of their comfort zones and live boring lives.

I first hear about MBTI from my INTJ English teacher, who was talking about the Keirsey. While he loved being called a "Mastermind" and a "Rational" when my friends told me they thought I was an "Idealist" at first I rejected it. I don't know why, but for some reason I had trouble identifying with that term. Years later when I started getting into it again and took the test, I realized that they were right, I was an Idealist, and I was darn proud of it, after reading about them and studying up :) I don't know if I agree with that term, though. I do like that ENFP's are called Inpirers, though. I guess because that's what I would like to be, someone who inspires people. But I guess different terms carry different connotations with everyone, so I can see why there is disagreement on this subject.

One of my friends disapproves of the whole personality type thing because she hates being "labelled". To be honest, let people call me what they want, so long as it's justified. I personally love the term "Dreamer", I think it gives the impression that you have come up with a world better that the one we live in, and you are imaginative. But to be honest, I'm a "Dreamer" all the way so I don't really mind being called one. As I said, I think it's justified.

I always thought "healer" made no particular sense. "Poet" is slightly better, and so is "Idealist" and "Dreamer", but neither are especially inspiring.

When I thought I was INFP I was kinda offended by the title of idealist because I think sometimes people see idealists as unrealistic.

Now that I'm pretty sure I'm an INFJ, the title "The Protector" is so apt for me. I am chill and usually let people do their thing, but when someone comes after someone I love, or when someone I love is going through a hard time, I go all Mama Bear. My mother says I've been that way since I was little.

I'm sort of envious of the INFJs. They get to be called the Protectors... I want to be called a Protector!

I guess I've done more inspiring than protecting, though... Blah.

Well someone has to be last doesn't mean you have to take offense to it..

Not really, I don't take them seriously. I take offense that The Dreamers/ENFPs are listed last on the ''Community'' page, out of the personality types... maybe they are saving the best for last?

I guess I can understand that because dreaming implies that ur asleep or just somehow not paying attention to "reality". It applies to NFs because most NFs are seeking something better than the present reality. I thought of some alternate ideas though:
The Visionary Philosophers, the Imagineers, The Quixotic Sages....

That kinda makes NFs sound more like we're taking charge of our lives and our realities rather than just standing around daydreaming....

Actually, I find them really nice. Teachers, healers, counselors, champions... all of them sound like positive things to me - whether it matches me is something totally different. I agree that 'Dreamers' sounds a bit negative, like this person likes to think of things they can't really achieve or something along the line, while 'Idealists' still sounds positive.

I have no problem with being called "Dreamer" or "Idealist" I'm both.
