I took this career test. I used to test mostly infp for years and occasionally infj. Since I’ve been 18, I considered myself an unhealthy infp. Today I tested infj. I think it is because I know more about myself.

INFJ description

The agreeable nature and quiet personality of INFJ’s makes them particularly vulnerable to hurt feelings. Distress within close relationships can shatter the INFJ. Like all NFs under stress, INFJ’s feel fragmented and lost — as if they are acting out a part rather than simply being themselves. This disassociation can be related to physical symptoms for the INFJ, whether real or imagined. Feeling split off from their physical natures, INFJ’s may become virtually immobilized by repressed feelings.

Although INFJ’s may feel like remaining still and stationary until the chaos and confusion of a stressful situation dissipates, it would be best for them to actively sort out their needs from others. Being excessively cooperative and agreeable, the INFJ has a tendency to adopt values and beliefs of others as their own. When external conflicts grow, so does the INFJ’s sense of personal disharmony. Disassociating themselves from others takes a great deal of effort for the INFJ.

Perhaps I’m a mixture.

INFP

INFP’s feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial dispositions, tends to leave them confused as to who they really are. Their quiet personalities further feeds their feelings of depersonalization. The INFP’s quest for self-identity then seems even more alluring — but increasingly impossible to attain.

As with all NFs, the INFP will feel lost and perplexed at stressful times. As stress builds, INFP’s become disconnected from their own personality and perceived place in life. They will lose sight of who they are in relation to time and place. They may not make basic observations, while instead they will focus on the more abstract and symbolic meanings of a particular interaction. This can sometimes baffle those who expect more direct communication and a fairly concrete relationship.

How can that not be me? LOL. I used to be really into this. I still think relationships would be better if others would try to understand the other person. There isn’t a need for labels but the ‘personality types’ makes things much easier, imo. Anyhow when it comes to potential careers I should definitely check out the INFJ list…and I will.
