INFJ

Thursday, March 26, 2009 3
I retook the Jung personality test and got INFJ instead of ISFJ. INFJs are Idealist Counselors, whereas ISFJs are Guardian Protectors. Apparently INFJs are rare.

"Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.

Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena."


I don't know how true that is. Maybe I'm a mix of both. If that's possible. Because I'm not great at communicating.


Wait.

  • Tendency to hold back part of themselves
  • Not good with money or practical day-to-day life necessities
  • Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
  • Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
  • ...yes.

    This is what I'm doing instead of doing homework.

    I'm an ISFJ: Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging. Some of the things written about ISFJs are completely wrong but a lot of them are scarily correct. Like, from this site:

    ~
    ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings.

    ~
    ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right". (Also, if you don't respond to me, I'll flip out. It doesn't say that, but I will.)

    ~
    The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

    ~
    ISFJs generally have the following traits:
  • Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people (...I'm a computer!)
  • Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions
  • Excellent memory for details which are important to them
  • Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them
  • Value security, tradition, and peaceful living
  • Kind and considerate
  • Likely to put others' needs above their own
  • Learn best with hands-on training
  • Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation


  • Another site said: Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself").Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses and that a fictional ISFJ is Ophelia.

    ...great!
