I Am INFJ

  Today was stinkin' awesome. It was one of the best days ever. I got to spend time in the morning reflecting, reading, and doing stuff, and then the afternoon I got to spend eating Belgian frits and driving around/ walking through nature talking to one of my best friends. then I came home and cooked and got to hang out and take personality tests and compare with another friend. Lots of personal one on one time. It was fun     Look at my personality profile.     

 I am INFJ. On the Myers-brigs, I am so INFJ. I've taken this test three times from two different sources in eight months. I am always honest about my answers, and every time I read the description, even if they are slightly different I get the same result, and I read the description and  think "wow, that is so me on paper."   So, I thought I would share a few that I thought were really me. My personality type is the most rare- 1%, and therefore in my opinion the most awesome. although, I am sure they are all good.  

First,  my temperament is NF. or "The Visionary"  "intuitive, imaginative, highly idealistic. They desire to contribute goodness and meaning to the lives of others. They are driven by values they deeply believe in and defend. visionaries desire to understand themselves and to be understood for who they really are...  in their relationships they require authenticity, depth and meaning. they dislike conflict and conformity. 

 Personality type :
Here's what spoke to me about me.
INFJ's
love to learn, their whole existence is wrapped around growth.
 They are on a constant quest to improve and untangle more questions.
 They are gifted at deciphering the connections and profound meanings of things.
 They are interested in people and relationships. 
Personal growth drives them and anything short of that pursuit is meaningless to them. 
 They live life with a great sense of purpose. 
They have a great need for connection while at the same time yearn for solitude.
 They enjoy one on one interaction. 
Although they enjoy being a mystery, they also long to be known and understood. 
They are  champions of the oppressed and downtrodden.
 They are people that you can rarely fool any of the time.
They are selective about their friends, friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.
They have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. 
they have an amazing ability to deduce the inner workings of the mind, will and emotions of others .
they  desire to express their wealth of feelings, But are  aware of the consequences of unbridled candor, they well aware of the treachery that can reside in the hearts of mortals 
They have  complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of their talents.
They  are generally "doers" as well as dreamers. 
They  take  a disproportionate amount of responsibility in the various causes to which so many of them seem to be drawn. 
They are deeply concerned about their relationships.  
They are sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people, On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts.
 At intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent "givers." 
 Due in part to the unique perspective produced by this alternation between detachment and involvement in the lives of the people around them.They have the clearest insights of all the types into the motivations of others, for good and for evil.
 They tend to have strong writing skills.

Since in addition they often possess a strong personal charisma, INFJs are generally well-suited to the "inspirational" professions such as teaching (especially in higher education) and religious leadership. Psychology and counseling are other obvious choices, but overall, INFJs can be exceptionally difficult to pigeonhole by their career paths.

I hope this helped you understand me better. Being a 1%er I doubt you will meet many INFJ's in your life. I do like to be  understood.
