I started a thread on this very subject on 6 March 2007.

And yes--I am an idealist.

I'm not familiar with e- and infx.

I was an idealist when I was a teenager. Which is pretty normal I think
05-31-2007, 03:35 PM
enfx = enfp and infx = infp.

i've been doing lots of of research on the subject and found that idealists can be aspies too.

Yes, I have the ENFP type.

I thought the "E" and "I" in the above refered to "Extroverted" vs. "Introverted"?
As far as idealism goes, I am an optomist when happy and a pessimist when depressed (i.e., most of the time). Or is this not what you're refering to? I have a hard time understanding this thread so far.

Yes, I'm still an idealistic but have grown a bit less so over the years.

Still confused.
Are you talking about that survey thing? If so, I've forgotten.
As for being an idealist, that depends on the cost.

What do those letters stand for?

Idealism doesn't necessarily equate to optimism. Kurt Vonnegut is a good example of an extremely cynical, pessimistic idealist. Basically, idealists view human nature as fundamentally decent. However, a pessimistic idealist would say that adverse circumstances will generally triumph over this basic goodness, or that humans are also extremely stupid and careless and shortsighted in equal or greater proportion, and that they will therefore usually end up thwarting their own good intentions.
Uh, that said, I think I'm an optimist and a realist, mostly. I can get really dark and cynical when I'm cranky, though.

Mmm... That sounds a bit like me.

Is this referring to the Keirsey personality profiles that include artisans, guardians, idealists, and rationals? I can't seem to score anything consistent on that. I took the test 6 or 7 years ago and came out as a guardian type, then I took it about 2 years ago and came out as a rational.
