"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

I strongly relate to that description of the INFP, DC. And I do feel very responsible for my hidden intentions. If I did something without the best intentions in mind, I may do it over again, even if the job was already considered done, or I would find some other way to make up for my impure intentions. It's just that I always feel like the eyes of the cosmos are on me, and what goes around comes around eventually. In the same manner, I find myself being very strict with ENFPs and ESFPs when they do one thing but mean something else. I'm among the first to question them on their intentions, and when they start throwing out excuses and self-deceptive logic, I wrestle with them until they admit to their impure intentions also. :chicken:


Keirsey touches on that kind of thing in one of his descriptions:

"When INFPs believe that they have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. The atonement, however, is within the INFP, who does not feel compelled to make public the issue."


But if someone comes along and starts calling me a saint for all that self-sacrifice, then I have to make public the issue and tell them that I'm just making up for something I feel I didn't do too well. But if they insist that I'm better than I think I am, then I have to stop the act of atonement, otherwise, then it's like getting rewarded for simply making up for an imperfection. :blush: Do you get that logic? :lol:

INFPs are given to scruples... :PP
