Myers-Briggs Results: INFJ

INFJ — “Author”. Strong drive and enjoy­ment to help oth­ers. Com­plex per­son­al­ity. 1.5% of total population.

I have had more than a few peo­ple spec­u­late what my Myers-Briggs per­son­al­ity type is. I finally took a test today (actu­ally, I took two to make sure). Looks like I am an INFJ (Intro­verted iNtu­itive Feel­ing Judg­ing). This means I’m the same type as Gandhi, Carl Jung, and Yoda. I can live with that. I started crack­ing up upon read­ing one descrip­tion of this type when it listed “attracted to sad things.” This is so much the case that an ex of mine made a run­ning joke after I picked out a doc­u­men­tary on geno­cide for one of our early dates.

It seems I get along espe­cially well with ENFPs (Extraverted iNtu­itive Feel­ing Per­ceiv­ing). The friend who asked me to take the test, and the one I just asked to take the test, are both this type.
Here’s a sum­mary from Typelogic.com:
Beneath the quiet exte­rior, INFJs hold deep con­vic­tions about the weight­ier mat­ters of life. Those who are activists — INFJs grav­i­tate toward such a role — are there for the cause, not for per­sonal glory or polit­i­cal power.INFJs are cham­pi­ons of the oppressed and down­trod­den. They often are found in the wake of an emer­gency, res­cu­ing those who are in acute dis­tress. INFJs may fan­ta­size about get­ting revenge on those who vic­tim­ize the defense­less. The con­cept of ‘poetic jus­tice’ is appeal­ing to the INFJ. “There’s some­thing rot­ten in Den­mark.” Accu­rately sus­pi­cious about oth­ers’ motives, INFJs are not eas­ily led. These are the peo­ple that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affa­ble and sym­pa­thetic to most, INFJs are selec­tive about their friends. Such a friend­ship is a sym­bi­otic bond that tran­scends mere words.INFJs have a knack for flu­ency in lan­guage and facil­ity in com­mu­ni­ca­tion. In addi­tion, non­ver­bal sen­si­tiv­ity enables the INFJ to know and be known by oth­ers intimately.

Seems pretty accu­rate to me. What type are you?
