INFJ

Personality profile from the Myars Briggs.  This is me in a "it's-so-true-it's-creepy" kind of way.  If you didn't know I was an introvert, well...now you do.  I'd rather blog about it than have you ask me lots of questions.  :)  And as I like to point out, only 1-2% of the population is this combo; ergo, I'm so special it's amazing.  Hahahahaha.  Aka, it's a reason behind my weirdness.


 ”It is difficult to classify INFJs as either “right-brained” or “left-brained,” as they can often utilize both sides with great adeptness. This is exemplified by the fact that INFJs are both creative and responsible, artistic and logical, spiritual and scientific, holistic and analytic.”


“iNFjs have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions.”


“Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, iNFjs can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known an iNFj for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; iNFjs value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.”


“INFJs often feel the need to channel their emotions through writing, poetry, the arts, or religious engagement.  This desire for artistic or religious expression derives from a felt need to communicate their feelings through a universally understood, symbolic medium.”


“They may also get entangled in an incessant quest for self-analysis and identity-seeking, believing that if they could only sort out their emotions and understand themselves that everything else would naturally fall into place.  They feel it necessary discover who they are before they can possibly discern what to do with their lives.”


“More than other intuitive introverts, INFJs enjoy teaching, especially in post-secondary settings.  Teaching not only affords them the opportunity to impart their knowledge and insights, but the chance to inspire and catalyze the potential in their pupils.  In some cases, INFJ teachers may be more interested in deeply impacting the lives of others than they are in the subject itself.”


“INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.”


Thanks, Sarah B., for sharing this.  I'm sure you're not shocked that we're the same.
