Mr. INFP

Today my work asked me to fill out the online questionnaire: Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers’ Typological Approach to Personality, and, to be honest, I really didn’t want to be a part of it. I didn’t want some internet site telling me who I am, or who I should be, or could be, or can’t be, et cetera. And even now, after having taken the questionnaire, I’m not really sure what to think about it. I will say that I’m a bit surprised at the depth of the end result. It wasn’t just some formulaic answer to life’s conundrums:

*You do not do well in stressful situations, Mr. Nolte. You might consider seeing your doctor about a possible risk of high blood pressure.

No, the results were detailed and thought-provoking. I ended up wasting a few hours at work (they started it) researching this stuff, and everything I’m reading seems to be pretty legit. Reading something that describes who you are specifically, in an almost obituary-esque fashion, is a rather surreal and uncomfortably revealing situation. I can only liken the experience to one that I had three years ago, an experience in which I was given the rare opportunity to speak with my future-self in the year 2067.

So, this is who I am:

INFP

Introvert (100%)
iNtuitive (50%)
Feeling (25%)
Perceiving (89%)

The percentages are important and have meaning, but I don’t feel like going into that. Which would explain why I answered “YES” to the statement: “Your decisions are based more on the feelings of a moment than on the careful planning”

If you want to know who I am (this article is possibly a blogpost/non-published/POS, but it's ripened with flattery and doesn't focus so much on the fact that the word "introvert" is really just a synonym for "asshole". But, then again, INFP's rarely give themselves enough credit.) click here:
