Are you familiar with Myers-Briggs personality tests? I am an INFP. INFP - The Dreamer or Healer Introverted - Intuitive - Feeling - Perceptive INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. Its as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, INFP is rare personality type, found in only about 4 % of the general population. Yet, of the possible 16 types, it is the one most frequently found for gifted people. This scarcity, coupled with their extreme intelligence, renders them seldom understood, and thus, rarely validated in relationships. INFPs are creative, sensitive souls who take their lives very seriously. They seek harmony and authenticity in their relationships with others. They value creativity, spirituality, and honoring the individual self above all else. They are very tuned into inequity and unfairness against people, and get great satisfaction from conquering such injustices. An INFP is a perfectionist who will rarely allow themselves to feel successful, although they will be keenly aware of failures. INFPs also get satisfaction from being in touch with their creativity. For the INFP, personal success depends upon the condition of their closest relationships, the development of their creative abilities, and the continual support of humanity by serving people in need, fighting against injustice, or in some other way working to make the world a better place to be. Of the sixteen Myers-Briggs personality types, INFPs are among the most “right-brained.” They see the world through holistic lenses, grasping the “big picture” while skimming over what they might deem as inconsequential details. INFPs are often gifted both intellectually and artistically, excelling in whatever avenue they opt to channel their talents and energies Highly creative, artistic and spiritual, they can produce wonderful works of art, music and literature. INFPs are natural artists. They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities. That doesnt mean that an INFP has to be a famous writer or painter in order to be content. Simply the act of creating will be a fulfilling source of renewal and refreshment to the INFP. An INFP should allow himself or herself some artistic outlet, because it will add enrichment and positive energy to their life. Theyre more spiritually aware than most people, and are more in touch with their soul than others. Most INFPs have strong Faith. Those that dont may feel as if theyre missing something important. An INFP should nourish their faith. INFPs do not measure life in terms of the number of friends and acquaintances they have but rather by the quality of their friendships. For INFPs, the distinction between friends and acquaintances is very important; an acquaintance is someone they spend time with while a friend is someone with whom an INFP can share ideas and feelings. Their most valuable friends are people who understand their important values and accept them unconditionally. INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkward and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what theyre feeling on paper. INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs. In conclusion, these are deep, complex, somewhat melancholy people who are hard to understand. 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.
