INFJ

Introverted: 78
Intuitive: 50
Feeling: 12
Judging: 1

Counselor Type:
Counselors are scarce, little more than three percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent "givers." As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic INFJ character to outsiders, and hence the most often misunderstood -- particularly by those who have little experience with this rare type.

Interestingly enough, when I did my Independent Research Project at St. Cloud University, I almost did it on personality (It turned into Gender Stereotypes as they relate to mathematical ability). I always preferred O.C.E.A.N. (Openness, Concientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) to the Meyers-Briggs, as it is also used to predict possible mental illness. The problem I have with tests like this is that, no matter how you word it, some questions are going to be too vague for some people to answer correctly. For example: "I prefer to have many acquaintances" means different things to different people. Even a hard line introvert may like having a lot of acquaintances if the word is understood as people they like whom they don't spend a lot of time with. Other people may understand the term as implying a deeper relationship. Other questions such as, "I usually act impulsively rather than plan" can be confusing as well. For example: For things of importance, I plan. For things of no importance, I do not.

Regardless, these tests are usually surprisingly accurate given their limitations.

Is "12" a low ranking for feelings?

:<

Not quite. Instead of seeing each number as a percentage of how much it you have (e.g. you are 88% sociopathic), instead see it as a preference over its counterpart. In this case, the counterpart to Feeling is Thinking. In scenarios that require you to choose between thinking and feeling, you have a preference for Feeling, but just minor (according to the prediction). If you were 100% Feeling, it would suggest you entirely disregard thinking, turning you into my mortal enemy which would make you less flexible. How people perceive results as good or bad depends how different the predictions are from their preferences - if you want to be 50 or 100% feeling and you didn't get that, you might not always be acting in a Feeling-manner.

It's sort of like a black-white sliding scale on PhotoShop. You move toward black (Feeling), you move away from white (Thinking). Having low numbers doesn't imply a "lack" of some trait; it just means your preference for it isn't high. My "extraverted" was only slightly expressed (like 5-15%) implying I have shades of both traits, just seen more often as extraversion. Contrast, my "judgment" preference was around 70%, implying I impose judgment on everything am less likely tend to "perceive" things. You have to look into the meanings of each word in context (e.g. sensing vs. intuition) to know whether or not you should consider it "bad". I don't really think it'll be "bad", unless you want a stronger/weaker preference.

The problem I have with tests like this is that, no matter how you word it, some questions are going to be too vague for some people to answer correctly. For example: "I prefer to have many acquaintances" means different things to different people. Even a hard line introvert may like having a lot of acquaintances if the word is understood as people they like whom they don't spend a lot of time with.

Of course, which is why I tend to see questions as reflective rather than a single scenario. (I'm an extravert, "breadth of knowledge" after all) For example, imo the statement "I prefer reading a book to seeing people" is really limited. I would include say "I prefer enjoy reading TVTropes more than Facebook / FB chats" as a more modern example - reading a book has this anti-social stigma going. I dunno why it shows up so much on these tests. >.>

Well, okay. That makes me feel less bad. I was afraid that I might not actually be in touch with my feelings and emotions.

The Keirsey description made me feel better overall, though, and I think it does a good job at describing me.

[xColdxFusionx]

None of the types are "bad" or "good". It's just how you think.

Do you like to learn a lot about specific things/people (I) or a little about many things/people (E)?
Do you gather lots of information from the outside world (S) or just go with what you think (N)?
Do you base your decisions on the information you gather (T) or on the emotions they evoke (F)?
Do you prefer to plan your actions out (J) or do you prefer to make things up on the spot (P)?

Everyone draws from a little bit of all eight subtypes, and all of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Your "type" is just what you prefer.
