You calling me "ick", V?

INFP

"Questor"

C'mon, Snap, let's go after the Ark of the Covenant!

Always wanted to be Indiana Jones...

(we're supposed to be 4% of the population, yet we are -so far- 11% of TE. Does riding a bike appeal to questors?)

ETA: ha ha! INFP is also known as the "healer." That's just too apropos! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healer_(role_variant)

I'm just going to keep doing it until I get one I like.

Right. It gave me INTJ, wasn't sure if that's me so refreshed and got:

Introverted (I) 59.38% Extroverted (E) 40.63%
Intuitive (N) 68% Sensing (S) 32%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Judging (J) 66.67% Perceiving (P) 33.33%
Your type is: INFJ
INFJ - "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1.5% of total population.

Seems to go from INFJ to INTJ

[NbyNW]

Introverted (I) 69.7% Extroverted (E) 30.3%
Intuitive (N) 58.54% Sensing (S) 41.46%
Feeling (F) 55% Thinking (T) 45%
Perceiving (P) 52.63% Judging (J) 47.37%

Your type is: INFP

INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Emotional face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.

Consistent with past tests I've taken, I actually consider myself INFX because my P/J score is often very close to the middle. Sometimes my F/T score approaches 50% as well.

And I only decided to finally post because it looked like a disproportionate %age of of INFPs was showing up on the thread. Nice to be counted, for once!

You calling me "ick", V?

Nope - just tired of being dependable.

I'd like to be a free spirit sometimes instead.

INFJ, aka the Counsellor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counselor_(role_variant)

INTJ, aka the Mastermind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_(role_variant)

Reading the various descriptions of the two (my goodness, there are a lot, wikipedia is full of them!) I'd say you were more the INFJ.

[Reesha]

I'm generally on the border of INFJ and INTJ. Depending on what's going on in my life, it registers as either more feeling or thinking.

Edit Argh! I just took the test, and I'm INTP! These changes are a sign of upheaval. And that is certainly the truth. But I also think all these descriptions of me are accurate. In the poll, I answered INFJ, because that's what I most often was in the past.

INTP:

Introverted (I) 73.53% Extroverted (E) 26.47%
Intuitive (N) 61.9% Sensing (S) 38.1%
Thinking (T) 63.89% Feeling (F) 36.11%
Perceiving (P) 52.38% Judging (J) 47.62%


Your type is: INTP



INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

Ah, your P and J are so close, I don't think it's anything to worry about. My INTP boyfriend is the biggest empath I know. He swings from being really T sometimes to being really F when the moment strikes.

[Reesha]

There are no ENTPs. They are too busy taking over the world with all their savvy I suppose!

I find it quite amusing that the "Healer" and "INFP" lists do not contain ONE SINGLE SOLITARY PERSON in common.... snark.

Karen Armstrong

Oh, I was confused, was thinking of this K Armstrong http://www.kristinarmstrongusa.com/

[zoom-zoom]

I am an ENFP. It means I am serious about externally expressing my feelings and that I can be a bit of a flake at times. ENFPs have a hard time listening to others, although they may be sincere. I have the long-term ADD of ENFP: I like to dream big for no good reason whatsoever and change my situation often to keep things interesting.

Yep...you described me (ADD/ADHD runs in the family). I am also ENFP.
