Dolphin Cove aims to be not only a support site for the INFJ-List, but also to serve as a useful and centralised resource for material concerning the INFJ personality and MBTI™, type, and temperament. The INFJ-List was one of the first, if not the first, type-related, subscription e-mail lists. INFJ-L is one of several INFJ lists currently on the Internet. It is a private, members-only list and is not affiliated with Yahoo® or any other organization.

This site, though primarily serving members of the INFJ-List, is dedicated to INFJs everywhere, especially the INFJ "newcomers," many of whom are every day embarking on exciting journeys of discovery and realisation. Remember, Inner Nuances Foster Journeys.  

On behalf of the members of the INFJ-list, we'd like to extend a warm welcome to you, and we hope you enjoy exploring the exciting world of Type theory and INFJness!   Have fun!

Bits and Pieces

• The INFJ page was maintained before Gerry's tenure by Jason Muck.
• The previous version of the INFJ-list Homepage was launched on 1 December, 1998, and maintained for many years by Gerry Quach using MicroSoft FrontPage '98:
  "FP saves me hours of time when it comes to web design. It's a bit of a disappointment that nobody else has managed to dislodge FrontPage from its rather shaky throne, since it does have a great many faults, but until that time comes..."
• Site redesign and maintenance done by Laura Shaw beginning in 2002:
  "Site redesign and maintenance was accomplished using MacroMedia's DreamWeaver plus ConTEXT to tweak the code. Many thanks to Adam, our server-meister, for all his help and advice!"
• Site redesign and maintenance done by Brian C. beginning in 2005:
  "I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for design and coding, with some help from EditPad, and Thumbs Plus. My thanks to everyone who has (and will hopefully continue to) provide input and material. In particular, I would like to thank Sarah Duncan for the beautiful banner she graciously created. "
• Please note that as of 2005, many of the site functions depend on javascript; you may have a better browsing experience if you have that turned on in your browser.

NOTE: MBTI™ and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ are trademarked names referring to a specific product, although brand confusion has resulted in the associated theory being referred to by names such as "personality typing," "type," or "type model," much as Kleenex™ has passed into common usage to refer to tissue paper. However, MBTI™ refers to the actual Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ personality test, whereas "type" commonly refers to the theory behind it. "Temperament" refers to David Keirsey's temperament model, essentially an extension of type theory.

"One man awake
Can awaken another:
The second can awaken his next-door brother:
The three awake can rouse the town,
By turning the whole place upside down.
And the many awake, make such a fuss,
They finally awaken the rest of us.
One man up with the dawn in his
eyes - multiplies."
