Orson:

Thanks for the response- it is helpful. I am always interested in how others view these issues and make sense of the paradox as you mention it.

Mulling the details of your response- may write more later. Thanks again.

INFJ

Thanks for sharing, DB (and turinturambar). I constantly have to remind myself not to pigeonhole people, but that’s what I would have guessed for you. My wife is also an INFJ, so I know how you think!

I don’t want to derail the thread, but I will simply offer the following. At one time I believe you said that one of your reasons for being involved in online discussion forums such as this one was to give you insight to help you deal with your responsibilities as a bishop (a really good and laudable motivation, BTW) in dealing with individuals that may have questions, are disaffected, or whatever. I think it would be good to remember your reaction to others’ reactions to the talk that is the topic of this thread. What seems perfectly clear and something of immense value to you may elicit only a “Hmm” and a scratching of the head from someone else, for no other reason than that they are wired differently (not better or worse) than you, and just plain see things differently. Most people involved on this site will be either Idealists (NF) such as yourself, or Rationals (NT) such as myself, and I think you will find that the Idealists have a much easier time living with the quandaries and contradictions that we all have to deal with, for reasons that I can only guess at. While most of the members of your ward will be neither Idealists nor Rationals, these are the people that are going to be more likely to need a listening ear.

Bill,

Myself, jwald and my two oldest kids are INFP. Idealist Healers.

We’ve taken this test a gazillion times and different versions. Always the same. I think it explains why we tried so hard to make it work, and why it hurt so bad when it didn’t.

Well, I’m happy he at least acknoedged 2 personalities or ways of thinking(there are tons). But his way of explaining things in a simplified manor of analiyzing truth, perception and interaction with the world and those around them. Separate from the unique personalities of everyone is how the different sexes and even individuals use different parts of thier brain to think and perceive about the exact same thing or situation around them. The 2 halves of the brain process I formation very differently and it relates to what he is saying. You can understand more about it here.

We are in-fact hard wired differently by through genetics processing the information differently because each half of the brain, each processing the same information very differently. The right hemisphere thinking peoplle would definitely be inclined to feel the spirit. The left hemisphere thinking people would be inclined to learn by methodical experiences of truth. I help it helps you in your efforts to understand and promote understanding. I’m all for helping people understand each other and the different thinking and personalities to achieve and streanghting and increase tolerance of one another in our journies toward Christ and the gospel.

I have come out consistently INFJ throught my life through school career cousolers with a few times tested as INFP and ISFJ.

There’s a decent book on the topic: Please Understand Me by Kiersey. In some ways it can be a little tedious, but I highly recommend it. I think it would be particularly useful for a bishop.
