I'm an infantry lieutenant in the Canadian Army and also an INFP. In your experience working with and watching similar types, what blind spots might I tend to have? Professionally or otherwise.
Assuming you really are what you say, I would advise you to guard against excessive trust in people you do not know extremely well. IOW guard against gullibility stemming from your empathetic nature. In re the troops, be careful. Young lieutenants are favorite targets for exploitation. pl
Thanks for your insight. I do admit that's a pattern I fall into if I don't stay self-aware.
With both troops and superiors, I find it difficult to balance not taking myself too seriously while also signalling that I won’t tolerate being taken advantage of.
I will let you have the last word on this.

Babak,
Why thank you. In that case I'll take it. Consider, Benglai Muslim immigrants chose to come to the USA, not Iran. I wonder why.

pl, in looking into 'SCL Group' I see how much various interests converge and diverge (individuals and groups) in the US.

TTG, rather than peering out the windows looking for Russians, take a look behind you and check out the Eaton and Cambridge boys.
