The Idealist
sooo in my INT class we had to take this personality test and based on your answers it tells you what kind of person your are...im an INFP. which stands for Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving. or in other words introverted feeling with extraverted intuition. they gave me a 'profile' desrcibing how INFP's act. i thought it was so intresting soo im gonna post it and see if you think its me or not.
As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on make the world a better place for people. their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. what is their purpose? how can they best serve humanity in their lives? they are the idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themsleves.
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. they rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. they are on a continuous misson to find the truth and meaning underlying things. every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFPs value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. the goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.
Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. although they be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely intrested in understanding people. this sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. an INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.
INFPs don not like conflict, and go to great lenghts to avoid it. if the must face it, they will always apporach it from the perspective of their feelings. in conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. they focus on the way that the conflict make them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. the dont want to feel badly. this trait sometimes makes them sppear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. on the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.
Infps are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. in the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. when an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're intrested in, it usually becomes a 'cause' for them. although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their 'cause'.
When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. they might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulousy brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.
INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. they don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. under stress, its not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have a problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likly to be higher than other members' of the group. in group situations, they may have a 'control' problem. the INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirments of every day living. without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.
INFPs are usually talented writers. they may be akward and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. they are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they dont need to use hard logic.
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.
