I took the Myers-Briggs personality test for the past six or so years in a row now and always get the same result: INFJ. Apparently this is one of the rarest personality types and therefore everyone seems to find it fascinating, myself included. Everything I have read about this personality type resonates with me. In this blog entry, I'm going to break it down and then provide some of my favorite resources.
What does INFJ stand for?
Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging.
What does it mean?
- Introverted- These people prefer to look inward than outward. Alone time recharges them but that doesn't mean they only enjoy being alone. They make very good listeners.
- Intuitive- This personality trait means you are more of an idealist than a practical person. You look for deeper meanings, see things in a more creative light, and enjoy planning the future.
- Feeling- As you might expect, this group is more focused on emotions than brain work. They're very warm and caring and if they had a motto it would be 'follow your heart'. They crave opportunities to take care of others and need to feel like they are selfless to feel meaning in life.
- Judging- Lists are life! Planning is the way! Going off said plans or taking things too far off the path stress these people out. Rules and laws give them comfort in their actions.
That is a lot of information and there is a ton more out there. I recommend looking on the official website at the links above for more information and to take the test yourself.
