Portrait of an INFJ - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging
(Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Feeling)
The Protector

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.

INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.

But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.

Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.

In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.

The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

So as many of you have heard, there is a saying that goes 'The Clothes make the man'. I wholeheartedly agree. As a soldier, I could command authority based on what I wore. If I wanted to command respect, I wore my dress blues. If I wanted to be more casual, I'd wear my cammies without the top, just my coyote undershirt. Relaxed, non-threatening.

When I'm off-duty and if I want to find someone to share my bed that night, I'd walk into a club, maybe wear my slacks and white button-down shirt with a few buttons undone. I know I have a great body, and I enjoy being admired. Maybe it's the chest hair. Maybe it's the pecs, I dunno.

This is my professional attire as well. I feel more confident when I dress in my business-wear. Maybe more arrogant than I should be, but this is usually the 'Don't fuck with me, I could buy and sell you' look. Unless My tie is undone and my buttons are undone, then it becomes the 'I'm horny. If you want to have the ride of your life, come at me'.

Most recently, off-duty, I met a few guys and some girls, who were VERY much into the leather scene. I was sitting in a bar, enjoying my drink and reading a book on Medieval history. Two leather daddies and their girls sat at a table next to me and asked me if I knew what the time was. Without looking up, I told them it was a quarter til (midnight).

Then one of the guys, Lucas I would find out later, asked me if I was into the scene at all. At this point I look up and ask him what scene. Then I take in their attire: Black leather boots, black leather chaps, Lucas wore only a short vest, the other bloke, Javi, wearing only a black string vest. The girls, Bianca and Francia wore matching leather catsuits under black leather jackets.

At this point, I feel out of sorts, as my guard is now completely down. Bianca seems to have recognized me from the bar as I am a regular. After recovering, I smile and shake my head, telling them that I was definitely interested in experimentation, but haven't really been into the leather scene, no.

So I don't know what made me so agreeable to experiment. Maybe I was drunk. Maybe I was just ready to say 'Fuck it'. But somehow they convinced me to go to Mr. S and get fitted for leather, which is a store in San Francisco. Lucas's friend apparently owns it, so I got some leather at a great deal.

I was definitely a kid in a candy store in that shop, but wasn't sure what to buy. Was eyeballing a trench coat as it resembled one I wore back in my teens, though longer. Lucas said I should buy a ripped tank top first, Javi thought I'd look better with a string vest, a harness, or nothing.

So I end up buying some black leather pants, a black leather leather jacket, some cock rings, and a biker cap. A collar was an expected purchase, as were my wristbands. So, feeling ridiculous a fuck, I let Lucas and Javi help me with the fitting, and for the most part, it was purely platonic. (Though it sure as hell didn't stay that way for long. The five of us have fucked many times since then)

Yet after all was said and done, I looked at myself in the mirror, and I DEFINITELY felt aroused. Sexually. And powerful. And incredibly Alpha. Even moreso than when I wear my business attire.

I've been a biker before. Wearing my leather inspires me to ride again. Maybe with the others, though Francia isn't really a biker.. She can share my bike if she wants, of course.

Please note that this entry has been heavily edited to omit the sex that happened at Mr. S's haha.

Pictures forthcoming.
