INFJ vs INFP | Psyphics Some people cannot decide if they are INFP or INFJ. Both types are idealists and seem similar on a superficial level, so it is common for INFPs to mistype as INFJs and vice versa. Reasons for Indecision Low J or P Scores The official MBTI score report presents a continuum between the four dichotomies. I/E – Introversion – Extraversion N/S – Intuition – Sensing F/T – Feeling – Thinking P/T – Perceiving – Judging In addition to showing your preferences (INFP or INFJ), it displays a numeric value that indicates the strength of the preference. 100% showing definite preference, 0% showing no clear preference. What do P and J mean? P and J have different meanings for each type. Js are organized and Ps are messyJs are closed minded and Ps are open mindedJs are planned and Ps are improvisationalJs work hard and Ps slack off In most online tests, the test questions that increase the J score surround these stereotypes.INFJ and INFP are a perfect example of why these myths are false.

Socionics Intertype Relationships: Benefit | General Description of Benefit Relations Benefit, or request, is an asymmetric relation in which the type with the higher status is called the benefactor (or request transmitter) and the type with the lower status is called the beneficiary (or request recipient). There is usually some kind of initial attraction going on, though not always mutual (the beneficiary will usually admire the benefactor's abilities from a distance), but after a while the benefactor realizes that he is supporting the beneficiary without receiving anything in return, and starts to criticize the beneficiary for not holding up his end of the relationship (and so issues a "request"). Meanwhile the beneficiary is irritated that the benefactor feels he has the right to interfere in and try to mold the beneficiary's behavior. If this relation occurs in a work setting, the beneficiary will strive to help out the benefactor, and to comply with his expectations. Coming soon.
Model A Model A is the socionic model of the psyche elaborated by Aushra Augusta. It includes: rules for positioning the 8 different information elements in a framework of as many different slots (called functions) to create 16 distinct type formulas general characteristics of each function that apply to the information element in that position regardless of type Part 1 (the syntax) is rigorously defined and is often referred to alone as "Model A," but is an empty shell without part 2 (the semantics), which imbues the model with empirical content. With Model A as an abstract framework, intertype relations can be understood and analyzed, and type descriptions can be generated. The relationship structure in socionics is a direct consequence of Model A. Structure Model A is composed of 8 functions, which are filled by 8 information elements. Each type perceives and processes all of the aspects of reality, but with varying degrees of clarity, depth, and comfort. Across the socion Blocks and See also Links
Reinin dichotomies Reinin dichotomies or Reinin traits refer to a set of 15 type dichotomies that divide the socion into symmetrical halves. Grigoriy Reinin (St. Petersburg, Russia), a mathematician and psychologist and one of the earliest socionists, mathematically proved the existence of these dichotomies, and their approximate content was elaborated by Aushra Augusta. The first four dichotomies correspond to the "Jungian foundation," or the four original Jungian dichotomies. In common use the term "Reinin dichotomies" often refers to the 11 non-Jungian dichotomies. Overview Mathematics Definition Each half of a dichotomy is called a "trait". They are combined according to the relation *, defined as follows. X*Y = (X & Y) or (~X & ~Y) where ~X denotes the opposite of trait X (~E = I, etc.) Thus, static = E*P = E&P or I&J In most cases, the "&" is understood. static = EP or IJ The relation * can be seen to be associative, meaning (X*Y)*Z = X*(Y*Z) is always true.

10 Ways Men and Women Communicate Differently It's the middle of the day during a long drive. He's sitting at the wheel, cruising along. She's sitting in the passenger seat, reading, glancing up now and then at the passing scenery. Suddenly, she turns to him and cries, "Talk to me!" She's not stir crazy; he's not ignoring her. They're just living the classic divide in communication between men and women. Girls' friendships focus on making connections -- talk is essential to this process. This differentiation in youth leads to dissimilar communication styles in adulthood. Research indicates that these are the general, even common, tendencies of men and women, but these divides are not absolute. For men and women, communication can be a very long drive, using different roads -- often to get to the same place.Image Credit: Jupiterimages 10. Fingers tapping.

10 Secrets of the Male Mind In the 2000 film "What Women Want," Mel Gibson played an ad executive who gained the ability to hear women's thoughts. This superpower proved helpful on the job with marketing products like pantyhose, mascara and nail polish to women, particularly when it came to stealing his female co-workers' ideas. He discovered his ability to eavesdrop on women's ideas more troubling when it came to his personal life, however, when he learned that many of the women in his life found him to be a shallow, superficial jerk. After his burst of insight into women's innermost desires and dreams, Gibson's character learned how to treat women better. We can't help but wonder what the movie would have been like if the main character had been a woman getting the chance to explore the male brain. Women have spent countless hours agonizing over what a guy is thinking, and sales of women's magazines and self-help books attest to the desire to understand the enigma that is the male mind. 5: Men Love Sports Go!
Harry Potter influences and analogues Writer J. K. Rowling cites several writers as influences in her creation of her bestselling Harry Potter series. Writers, journalists and critics have noted that the books also have a number of analogues; a wide range of literature, both classical and modern, which Rowling has not openly cited as influences. This article is divided into three sections. Influences[edit] J.K. British folklore and mythology[edit] Rowling has said, "I've taken horrible liberties with folklore and mythology, but I'm quite unashamed about that, because British folklore and British mythology is a totally bastard mythology. The Iliad[edit] When an interviewer said that saving Cedric's body resembled the Iliad and the actions of Hector, Achilles, and Patroclus, Rowling said, "That's where it came from. The Bible[edit] A number of commentators have drawn attention to the Biblical themes and references in J. Aeschylus[edit] The Pardoner's Tale[edit] Macbeth[edit] William Penn[edit] Emma[edit] The Wind in the Willows[edit]
Celebrity Types - Overview MBTI Personality Types The Dynamics of Personality Types: Interpreting the 4 Letter MBTI ® Code of Personality Types By Ross Reinhold, INTJ ENTJ, INFP, ISTJ, ENFJ and so on. Many know these are the short-hand designations for the 16 Personality Types popularized by Isabel Myers and her successors fascinated by the theory of personality originally postulated by psychologist Carl Jung. But less well known is that there is an order and organization to these letters code. The middle two letters of the Personality Type Code refer to what Isabel Myers and Psychologist Carl Jung called the "mental functions" (Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling). These functions or mental processes are divided into two categories: perceiving and judging. Two Kinds of Functions Sensing (S) and Intuition (N) are considered Perceiving Functions. Perceiving and Judging are essential components to all cognitive activity. Hierarchy of Mental Functions Next Page
The Four Preferences Judging and Perceiving Extraversion and Introversion When we talk about "extraversion" and "introversion", we are distinguishing between the two worlds in which all of us live. There is a world inside ourselves, and a world outside ourselves. We are extraverting when we: Talk to other people Listen to what someone is saying Cook dinner, or make a cup of coffee Work on a car We are introverting when we: Read a book Think about what we want to say or do Are aware of how we feel Think through a problem so that we understand it Within the context of personality typing, the important distinction is which world we live in more often. Sensing and Intuition The "SN" preference refers to how we gather information. We are Sensing when we: Taste food Notice a stoplight has changed Memorize a speech Follow steps in a plan We are Intuitive when we: Within the context of personality typing, the important distinction is which method of gathering information do we trust the most? Thinking and Feeling
Functional Analysis of Psychological Types Carl Jung developed psychological types based on the four functions (Feeling, Thinking, iNtuition and Sensing) and the two attitudes (Extraversion and Introversion). (There is, in my experience, a good deal of confusion, especially among those without some grounding in psychological type, about the nature of these functions and attitudes. The words don't necessarily mean what we expect them to mean, and caution should be used in applying common usage to these terms if this system is to be of value in the understanding of basic temperaments.) In this system there are eight basic types, each designated by its dominant (defining, controlling, pre-eminent) function: Jung developed these types within a mental illness model. Of the four functions, two (Feeling and Thinking) are the rational, or deciding, functions. There are two schools of thought concerning the attitude, or direction of energy flow, of each function within a given type.
MBTI Basics - Sensing or Intuition The second pair of psychological preferences is Sensing and Intuition. Do you pay more attention to information that comes in through your five senses (Sensing), or do you pay more attention to the patterns and possibilities that you see in the information you receive (Intuition)? Everyone spends some time Sensing and some time using Intuition. Don’t confuse Sensing with sensual. Take a minute to ask yourself which of the following descriptions seems more natural, effortless, and comfortable for you? Sensing (S) Paying attention to physical reality, what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. The following statements generally apply to me: I remember events as snapshots of what actually happened. Intuition (N) Paying the most attention to impressions or the meaning and patterns of the information I get. I remember events by what I read “between the lines” about their meaning.
