Disclaimer:
I am a silly ENTJ that has
a lot to learn about MBTI, Socionics, and then finally Ennegramming. ((Think MBTI -> Socionics -> Ennegram -> ???)) I acknowledge that overall Humanmetrics ((please note I use the word Humanmetrics as a sum for all the different models)) is a
soft science with some but not all scientific inquiry to defend these models of organizing humans. However, I do acknowledge that very real psychologists and corporations use MBTI. My one friend took an MBTI for this one company he was applying to and while he did not get the job there he was offered other positions in other sectors of the company. He was
explicitly told the criteria from the MBTI, of course with merit and resume, made him highly compatible with other areas of the company. IT WAS SO GOOD. I WAS LIKE "OH???" Note: many researchers have an agreed tendency that Jung's Analytical Functions are
scientifically observable. ((Not "proven")) As always,
more research is needed. Most people who study/use Humanmetrics acknowledge this.
Anyway, Humanmetrics should be looked at as a way to quantify people based on natural tendencies ((most of the models)). Not by who they are of present day. A lot of MBTI profiles you can look at as if that's the "perfect profile." That profile grew up in the correct household for their development and had all the opportunity to grow. For me, MBTI has increased my ability to accept other people's frames of thoughts and actually become more open. I've been learning how to address people when conflict arises or who's worth my time and who's not. ((<-- ENTJ thing sorry.)) A lot of people use MBTI to try to create fictional characters and type them. My one mentor for MBTI actually does that and she berates me for trying to use it on people. C:< Otherwise, I acknowledge generally for reasons that you have a different frame of through of why you would dismiss MBTI and
that is valid. The idea that humans can be quantified is
daunting and concerning. Aren't we all special little butterflies? ((lmao))
Could this model change in the future?
Yes, the way we try to categorize people is constantly changing and developing and I invite you to try a new approach to observing people. C:

Perhaps I should explain dominant and inferior functions ((or just all of them))
But the general overview of how these and all functions operate with each other is more nuance.
A Dom Function is the subconscious function of types. Whatever our Dom Function is it's always there affecting our outlook, our decision making, etc. We just can't help it. The Dom Function needs no nurturing from us because it's our strongest point and our pride.
An Inferior Function is the function that can seem extremely opposite of us. Usually, under great stress the inferior function can take hold. It's sometimes like a defense mechanism. Our Inferior Function requires either a lot of energy to use because it does not naturally come to us.
*
I can not confidently explain he Auxiliary and the Tertiary Role Functions because I'm still learning/reading about those and so far there doesn't really seem to be clear definitions but more or so a conceptual understanding on how they work and overlap. Understanding each separate function is way different than how they are together. MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED LOL.

Overview ((Maybe)):
INFJs are
highly sensitive to knowing the information and emotions of other people. A quiet exterior hides a champion of the downtrodden. They are the activists in the streets fighting for the rights of other at their own expense. Wary to those who extort and use the defenseless, for the INFJ is hiding and waiting to seek vengeance. Whoever they see as the enemy will always be so. Their sense of knowledge is beyond words and the concepts they know can't be explained. To have an INFJ befriended you is a selective bond of their own choosing.
Introverted iNtuition (dominant function):
You have an uncanny knack for knowing things before others do. Sometimes you know a skill without ever experiencing it. "I'm going to guess what that means. I was right wasn't I?" You know who around you will be useful and who you can depend on. Someone is going to do
this and then
this will be the outcome. However, because your sense of intuition can become so dependent on the outcome you see, something that changes the forethought can throw you off. You don't like changing plans at the last minute. Symbolism is ripe and you can interpret it fluently. Thinking and seeing goals in the future tense is easy and exciting to you. You can see the endgame and use the people around you with your abilities to reach the final goal.
Extroverted Feeling (auxiliary function):
You're highly affected by the emotions of people around you. To gain a sense of harmony you may invoke your friends, family, and the people around you for approval that you are doing right. You know what is important to people and you want to be able to support it. Your
Fe and
Ni working together give you this ability. Compromise should always be the first answer. Serious decisions require some serious insight from other people and you may have a tendency to allow other people to decide what you do for yourself. Trusting your own feelings or intentions can feel selfish. Because you're so affected by other people those who you choose to really let close to you can be a small number and an be extremely intimate relationships. You want the people that you choose to be in your circle know that you see them as important adversaries and that they have important places in life.
Introverted Thinking (tertiary function):
Your thinking process is turned inwardly. What seems
logical to you? Your thinking is generally done in absolute silence with little to no evidence that you ever had done so. You may like to think about what's important to other people (
Fe) or thinking about your ideas (
Ni). Short and sweet is the way to go about explaining things rather than erroneous speeches. Those long winded people can stumble over a lot of inconsistencies that you'd like to talk about with that person.
Extroverted Sensing (inferior function):
The external world can seem overwhelming. After too much sensory stimulus you may need to retreat somewhere more quiet where you can think better. Whenever you're attentive for your environment and people around you, you're more likely to predict the future. Yet, ignoring them or just concentrating on a select few can mean disaster because you didn't see other factors. When you're stressed you may have bouts of immediate gratification. A way your
Se can work against you may cause your iNtuition to be expressed as seeing those your vilify misrepresented and have stereotypical expressions of those people. You're capable of using the external world to empower your actions but it requires a lot of energy or concentration from you.

The Asshole Version INFJ:
INFJs are fond of themselves. They try to have friends but they often do not get past the “hello” phase. They prefer non-interactive media, which is why they predilect for poetry and prose. The fucking paper will not fucking talk back to them.
In the rare occasion that they do manage to befriend someone (after alternating between telling a potential friend too much and then too little about themselves, perhaps they found a balance for once), the INFJ listen to others and then they pretend that the anecdotes relayed to them were ones they experienced themselves. This way, everything can be about them.
INFJs often want to change the world, but what they don’t realize is that they, themselves, need to change. The INFJ animal is a badger. Badgers are dumb. Badgers won’t fucking let go if they bite you, much like an INFJ. INFJs are prone to biting people, the freaks.
