IEIs/INFps being nice to a ridiculous extent? impressions by other types?
Just unearthed this curious gem on INFps from smilingeyes "Si Column" thread:

Most of the original thread is really quite interesting and insightful. This, however made me go WTF? Is this a general impression of IEIs by other types? Or is it perhaps just colored by NTism that sees any kind of warmth as too accomodating? I've never been categorized as "nice" (except by people I particularly like, then I'm honey). I guess I can come off nice in a diffident way, but I'm certainly not one to "let other people win" and then apologize or suck up to anyone. This seems to me more something that an ISFp might do. (I know one-- she constantly apologizes for things that are in NO way her fault). Myself, I feel I'm easily affectable, and consequently cold at times to shut out sources of distraction or obligation. I've also been told I can be downright mean.
Have most of you found that INFps are "nice"?? Are we so?
