My personality type

January 17th, 2005 - Posted by Alan Howard

I thought I'd do this test again, 15 months after I first did it.  Fascinating.

I used to be an INTP, but it seems I'm now an INFP.  I've moved from being a thinker to a feeler.

(Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver)         

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.

The most important thing to INFPs is their deeply held beliefs and living in harmony with their values.

This used to be my ideal career choice:

Computer software designer/developer
Venture capitalist
Legal mediator
Financial analyst
Economist
College professor: philosophy, economics
Musician
Intellectual property attorney
Web site designer
Investigator
Strategic planner
Neurologist
Pharmaceutical researcher
Network integration specialist

But now my ideal career choice is:

Psychologist
Human resources professional
Physical therapist
Researcher
Translator/interpreter
Legal mediator
Employee development specialist
Religious worker
College professor: humanities
Massage therapist
Social worker
Librarian
Fashion designer
Holistic health practitioner
Editor/art director (web site)

Something to think about…

How to Love an INFP           

Appreciate my uniqueness and sensitivity.
Be a patient and supportive listener.
Respect my privacy and my need for emotional intimacy.
Be reassuring and gentle in your words and actions.
Try not to force decisions too quickly, or bug me about being messy.
Above all - respect my feelings and never demand that I compromise my values.
