I heartily agree on Prince Muishkin, at least in so far as the snippet (about ten pages or so) I just read, and with Dr. Watson.
I think that the Underground Man (from Dostoevsky's Notes From the Underground) could be INFj as well (though an incredibly dark one).

Misutii thought the main character of Notes from the Underground was an unhealthy INFp , so maybe the unhealthiness\darkness makes him difficult to type. Dostoevsky seems to favour INFj characters in his books, generally, which makes sense if it was his type - it wouldn't be very good logic to say that characters must therefore be a INFj though .
Prince Muishkin does indeed come across as a good example of an INFj.
That's hard to say. I could see it going either way. I identified somewhat with the Underground Man, but more so with Muishkin. I'd figured that being underground had maladapted him, but hmm? I could see how he could get where he was, but it all seemed extreme to me (like if I had made all sorts of decisions differently, yet the decisions faced were all the same). Maybe maybe maybe, eh?
