INFJ (introversion, intuition, judging, feeling) is apparently one of the rarest outcomes of the Myers-Briggs personality test which casts you as 1 of 16 personality types, with around 1-3% of the world’s population falling into this category.
Supposedly:
‘INFJs tend to be sensitive, quiet leaders with a great depth of personality. They are intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and highly complex, sometimes puzzling even to themselves. They have an orderly view toward the world, but are internally arranged in a complex way that only they can understand. Abstract in communicating, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.’
‘INFJs have a rich, vivid inner life, which they may be reluctant to share with those around them. Nevertheless, they are congenial in their interactions, and perceptive of the emotions of others. Generally well-liked by their peers, they may often be considered close friends and confidants by most other types. However, they are guarded in expressing their own feelings, especially to new people, and so tend to establish close relationships slowly.’
The fact that my result of INFJ sounds fairly accurate scares me. Is it healthy to organise the human race into 16 generic categories?
