i've taken this clinical test twice before, each about 5 years apart... the online quizzes i've done since then are the same... Apparently I have one of the rarest personality types.


Life as an INFP
(Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver)

People of this type tend to be: quiet, reserved, and kind; deeply passionate, sensitive, and easily hurt; loving and dedicated to those close to them; creative, original, and imaginative; curious and flexible in small matters; nonconforming.

The most important thing to INFPs is their deeply held beliefs and living in harmony with their values.

How to Spot INFPs:

* idealistic with deep yet private passions
* creative and imaginative
* initially hesitant and cautious
* original, even funky dressers

Tips for Communicating with INFPs:

* Share genuine beliefs and values to establish rapport
* Respect their slower warm time and need for privacy
* Emphasize the ways ideas will benefit others

There's an online quiz here if you haven't taken it AND you are reaally bored... there are only four questions, so its not the same as the clinical exam. http://www.personalitytype.com/quiz.html

neat-o. i've yet to run across any other infp's besides yourself. and well, we've never met so i guess that's kinda still true. :p

ya know, sometimes i wonder how much if any we let our true personality come through in our writing style. i probably seem a lot less introverted in my journal than i am in RL..

anyway. off to check on my bread.

I think a lot more of our true personality that we realize comes through in our writing. As a result I tend to prefer to write or email someone when I have something important to communicate. When you're talking with someone, you rarely have time to search for just the right word or phrase. Plus, and I find this is especially true online, you worry less about the reaction you're getting. No one's sitting across from you changing facial expressions or gestures in reponse to each word you type. No one's waiting for you to stop talking so they can speak. I'm ceratinly less inhibited on paper than I am in person.
