September 21, 200719 yr I'm firmly INFJ/INFJ. No secondary at all, according to this test. moderately expressed introvert moderately expressed intuitive personality moderately expressed feeling personality distinctively expressed judging personality 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. Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche. The Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and enterprising and attentive in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counsleors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people. Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known a Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them. Don't you love how psychoanalysts can make a freak like me sound interesting?

September 21, 200719 yr You're welcome and always has fascinated me and trying to determine, other peoples personalities. Here is a link to the Myers-Briggs test.... http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp Thanks for posting the link. My result was INTJ. One of the famous fictional INTJ's is Gandalf the Grey (J.R.R. Tolkein's Middle Earth)
September 21, 200719 yr ESTJ Always the same. The more important thing is how versatile are you, not which style you are. Can you adapt your style to make your communication more effective with folks of vastly different styles so that you're communicating with them in a style that makes them comfortable?

September 21, 200719 yr INTP If you are an Introvert, you prefer your energy to flow inwards, and your attention is naturally drawn to the inner world of understanding. Because you focus inwards, you tend to become more thoughtful, and your interests are deeper. Introverts tend to keep their thoughts to themselves. Picture of Introvert: thinking about something; making sure it "fits" before sharing with others. Analogy: rock tossed into a pond - hitting once and sinking deeply. Common Qualities of Introverts: · Attracted to in-depth analysis · Like to think, sometimes without talking · Like to understand
