Infj here, in a long term relationship with an istp 😂 you’re so spot on! It’d be very interesting to hear your take on infj job/careers, I’m struggling in that area personally.
Thanks for the video idea! Maybe I will do a video on it some time soon. I’m a speech pathologist. I feel like because INFJ’s are “movement types” and “affiliative types” (as described by Linda Berens), we do best in fields where we can be of service to others and see our contribution to their betterment… so fields like counseling, therapy, teaching, etc. … but of course, working in human services will burn anyone out, even the most altruistic and extroverted of people… so it’s important that we don’t commit ourselves entirely to our career. We compartmentalize by making our career a career but we find other methods of enjoyment and fulfillment as well, like keeping up with our hobbies, etc.
@@infjism2718 that’s interesting! I’ve read that infjs are the most likely of all types to become stay at home parents. That is my goal but for now I’m looking into dental hygiene and it seems to fit all of my boxes: work/life balance, flexibility, low stress, and helping others :) I’ve never been interested in business, finance, technology
I do not know how to go about saying this so here goes (upset/shattering warning). It seems to me that the MBTI Personality Types are a nicer form of describing NPD/APD and Codependant/BPD. The "disorder" breakdown of how coping and or defense (maladaptive) mechanisms works, describe how the personality is expressed. It is as though, "call a rose by any other name..." , what matters is what something is, not what it is called. In this case ,both methods , schools of thought seem to describe the same thing. One is more approachable to understand, the other...well that is going down a rabbit hole that aims to show things as they are clinically, surgically. There is a certain way that this dynamic plays out depending on the severity of the traits on both parts. The other element that gets incorporated is the repercussions of such dynamic (suggesting that there is a type of toll that one type experiences that is addressed in that model). It also, if look in reputable places, sources and info, helps to make sense of why such types exist, how they have come into being. What circumstances create such types, in such a way that it seems almost a blue print exists. There is one prescribed recommendation for such dynamic and it is what I fight to reject. Fighting to find a way. I believe that there is, but that toll becomes ones detriment and ones purpose. Sources: Sam Vaknin, Richard Grannon You seem to have found peace in your understanding as is. If you do not wish to upset that apple cart, please dismiss the above. This feels cruel to put out there, but people have the right to chose how much truth, accuracy and depth of knowledge they seek to make informed decisions, conclusions, beliefs etc. I feel that people deserve to know the gravity of what dealing with, the full scope. Apologies in advance for the spanner thrown into the works. Stay safe and enlightened. It is good that two people practice being mindful of their strengths and weaknesses, but there is a possibility that one holds the belief that it is unnecessary, what method chosen to forge bond, intimacy, harmony, togetherness etc may be heavily practiced on ones part but may not be the belief of the other, no motive to, no perceivable reason or payoff. Best case scenario may be behavioral modification, which as you speak about it, you start to tear up, you know the reason.

As an older ISTP in a long term relationship with an INFJ (38 yrs!), I have one simple comment:
"Amen". 😁
My ISTP is strangely very romantic. Very thoughtful and buys me flowers constantly. Tapping into his 4th function a surprising amount.
I like the way you went into greater detail in this part 2. It gave real insight into your INFJ-ISTP relationship.
Thank you, sweetness!
