Infj and Infp

I am an INFJ and INFP. Both are found in only one percent of the population. The I stands for introverted, which means I am refreshed by being by myself. The N means that I follow my intuition and gut feelings. The F means that I see in shades of grey and feeling is the distinction between intuitives. The J and P mean that I am judgmental and I am perceptive. The personality tests matched my personality fairly accurately, with the INFJ being more accurate.

INFJS focus on possibilities. I am always thinking about the future and what "could" be. Like the INFJ I also contribute to the welfare of others and I really genuinely care about my friends, family, and classmates. Because I have such a complicated personality I am able to understand other complex people, and help my friends and family with problems in their lives. Due to my strong empathetic abilities I often have a sense of a person's emotions, sometimes even before they feel them. I am pretty reserved with my friends and am pretty hard to get to know, as well as the fact that I am easily hurt by others. When my friends are happy, sad, angry, or even sick, I am strongly affected by these emotions and I often take them on and feel their pain. Before I even come to truly know a person, I can tell whether they are good or bad. When it comes to being a leader, it is not always visible that I am leading, however, I quietly exert my influence behind the scenes.

Due to the fact that I am kind of quiet and complicated, I am hard to get to know. In fact, I am sometimes even puzzled by myself, and new sides of me appear all of the time! I am pretty reserved when it comes to my emotions, and I don't share these except with my really close friends. Unfortunately, I am also pretty sensitive as well so people can easily hurt me. I absolutely hate conflict, so I try to always agree with others when possible. I like to please other people and contribute my best efforts to situations. In terms of artistic ability, I have a pretty crazy imagination which allows me to compose music, poems, plays, and novels. I am also fairly poetic. I was amazed when it suggested I would select liberal arts as a major because this is what I planned on going into anyways, particularly a psychiatrist or psychologist because I feel like I can relate so well to people, or a writer due to my unusual degree of imagery, elegant complex written communication, metaphor, and talent for language especially in describing things in a personalized way.

Hence, the INFJ article described me scary accurately and helped me to hone in on my personal talents and setbacks and use them to live my life in a more seizing type of manner. It has allowed me to accept who I am because this is unlikely to change, and appreciate the positive and negative qualities that have made me who I am.
