You know?

I have never, ever, even one single time, taken a Meyers-Briggs test and come out anything except INFP. Ever. So it wasn't a huge shock to me that the one I just took via Facebook returned me as one. I was interested, though, to see how close I was to the line, especially on the first two

Introverted 9% (Extraversion*)
iNtuitive 8% (Sensing)
Feeling 18% (Thinking)
Perceptive 20% (Judging)

Maybe I am actually shifting as I age, because I remember being -well- into all four of those categories when I was in high school.

I like the description of INFP, and think it fits me to a T. Well, if I were shaped like a T, it would fit me like a T.

INFPs focus deeply on their values, and they devote their lives to pursuing the ideal. They often draw people together around a common purpose and work to find a place for each person within the group. They are creative, and they seek new ideas and possibilities. They quietly push for what is important to them, and they rarely give up. While they have a gentleness about them and a delightful sense of humor, they may be somewhat difficult to get to know and may be overlooked by others. They are at their best making their world more in line with their internal vision of perfection.

*and yes, my inner editor always winces at this spelling- I always mentally want to change it to "extroversion"
