While looking up information about INFP types adapting their functions to fit their surroundings, I stumbled across this:
The dominant US cultural “type” has been determined to be ESTJ (most all schools in the US reinforce xSTJ learning and thinking). ESTJ and INFP are considered temperamental opposites. Here is a quote from the book “The Pathfinder” by Nicholas Lore describing INFP “The Healer”. This quote was found on http://borntoexplore.org/addtemp.htm
“(By far the most likely type to identify themselves as ADD, considering they are only 1% of the population): Idealistic, warm, caring, creative, imaginative, original, artistic, perceptive, supportive, empathetic, cooperative, facilitative, compassionate, responsive, sensitive, gentle, tenderhearted, devoted, loyal, virtuous, self-critical, perfectionist, self-sacrificing, deep, multifaceted, daydreamer, persistent, determined, hard-working, improviser, initiator of new projects and possibilities, agents of change.”
Who needs such people? This appears to be the personality that most desires to make others happy. Is it any wonder that they are among the easiest to psychologically victimize?
Psychologically victimize? Is this why I attract sociopaths and abusive personalities? Because I want to make other people happy?
Life sucks.
