Geez. What a great way to sum up the Idealist temperament: working at jobs that seem more like crusades than careers. lol

she did not say that knowledge is not important. She said that knowledge is not important if you do not use it to help others...

@43eidolon "Knowledge isn't THE most important thing,"

Me being an INTP would disagree though, but he ho

Not all enfp"s care for goverment ideals

[barbourjohn]

The problem I keep seeing is that the idealists always seem to have the politically correct ideals like civil rights and womens suffrage. That's not me I see these as a hindrance to people reaching their full potential because it gets the government involved in areas it shouldn't and so eventually limits the freedoms of everyone involved. How much better to have families intact and blacks being valued for wht they offer rather than because the government forced people to accept them. ENFP

"for more info" where can I get that sweet velvet lion painting behind her?

"Bah!" retorted the mind. "Now where did I put that plutonium...?"

@43eidolon

It's not a lack of caring, at least not for humane individuals. The economics system the US uses for social programs is also used to fund the department of homeland security muslim beatings. What is the medicine for the injustices and suffering in this world, when there is always people on the top of the pyramid dropping poison in the cures. I shouldn't keep pondering this lest I end up in a rubber room.

My biggest dilemma is losing my mind and being of no use to anyone.

all social workers are not INFPs

she didnt say that knowledge isn't important. She said that knowledge is not important if you do not use it to help others... Suppose is another thing for an idealist not to really think about looks. Some people like frosty lipstick. I used to have to be made up perfectly.Now don't care so much. It states in our downfalls that we need to watch what others wear in certain situations. Sometimes INFPs can become so engrossed in a cause they don't stop to wonder what they look like.
