I’ll go first - The Princess Bride!

I was typed as an infp a few years ago and I never felt fully infp, but have always related pretty heavy. I recently retook the test and got intp and this is where my brain split. Both of these results make a lot of sense to me since I feel like I’m always thinking about how things should be. I’m highly motivated by my heart, but I will always run my options through my brain before acting. I have a tremendous understanding of other people’s emotions and a loose understanding of my own. I honestly don’t require much though so I might understand my own feelings pretty well but just not have a ton of them. Recently I’m starting to think that maybe I understand others emotions so well because they’re always in my way and I am always getting to the bottom of why things are the way they are, especially when they’re in my way.

Doing what’s right is truly my driving force and I wish more people had more of a moral compass. I feel so sad when the world is sad and I’ve always resonated with infp when it comes to absorbing this energy. I have immense sympathy for people as a whole, but when I’m presented with an individual person and their problems, it’s so hard not to see how at fault they are for their own stress sometimes. Of course, I can have sympathy for individuals who truly didn’t choose their own circumstances, but I have none for those who actively complain and then don’t do anything to help themselves. For example, I’ve been a strict vegetarian for over a decade now. Animals do not choose their circumstances and have no say in them. I’d never push that way of living onto others but I hate that even if most people knew just how bad factory farming is, they still wouldn’t live differently. So I mostly distance myself from most people, I still study them so I can learn but I’m a character in the shadows at this point.

What do you think based off of this small amount of information? I feel like I might be a good mix of the two types. My enneagram is 2w1 with a heavy 6 third wing and that also seems to be contradictory to both infp and intp?! I know mbti is mostly a template to understanding human behavior and fitting into a type isn’t always possible, but it’s a lot of fun to think about. I’m just so stumped and was hoping to gain some more perspective on myself here hehe

I love the character Jessa Johansson in the show “Girls” so much that I made a playlist full of tunes that make me think of her
