INFJ


Alright, I'm coming out of the closet!!!!  I'm a Myers-Briggs junkie and I have been for a couple years now!  My poor family knows my addiction - God bless 'em - but I've tried to keep my friends safe from my obsession.  It's no longer possible!  Why?  Well, quite simply, because I'm INFJ.

If you've never heard of Myers-Briggs, it's a system of analyzing personality type.  It's based on the theories of Carl Jung, a famous psychologist, born in the 1800's.  It was further developed by the mother/daughter psychologist team Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs.  There are 16 types.  We're all born with our unique type and it never changes.  My type is the rarest of the 16, which explains why I've always felt a little odd.  :)  Now you can say you know an INFJ!  :)

Learning my personality type has changed my life.  It's helped me understand my weirdness and the way my brain works.  It just explains so much.  It's also helped me to understand my family.  INFJs are naturally extremely interested in psychology and understanding/helping people on a very intimate level.  We're also passionate (ok...obsessive) over things that mean a lot to us.

I could talk your ear off for hours if personality type is something that interests you, but it doesn't seem to be high on anyone's list.  Like I said...my poor family...God bless 'em!

K, so now you know.  My future post might be tainted with my INFJness.  :)
