Being an INFJ type of gal

I am an INFJ. For those of you unfamiliar with this, it means Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging and is one of the 16 personality types on the Myers-Briggs personality type test.




For me what this means is that:
  1. I love people but don't always want to be around them
  2. I need time to recharge on a regular basis
  3. Helping others have good communication is important to me
  4. I hate conflict and have attempted to avoid it (though I know it's sometimes necessary)
  5. I am good at giving speeches because I love communication (although it can still be uncomfortable at times)
  6. I prefer small groups to large ones, and one on one conversations to anything else
  7. I hate talk on the phone (or the phone ringing!) and prefer face to face conversation or texting.
  8. I am passionate about the causes I believe in (organic foods and herbs, healthy eating/living and fitness over medication as much as possible,  good quality coffee, literacy, and many, many more).
  9. While I like to be alone a lot, I also have the need to have frequent one on one conversations to bounce ideas off of others.
  10. Often I am more concerned with the comfort and emotional well-being of those around me, than I am of my own well-being. 
  11. I care more about other people's problems than my own (most of the time).
  12. I am very good at reading other people's body language.
  13. I hate lying more  anything else (except maybe liver and onions *shudder*, I really hate liver and onions).
  14. I find it hard to get out of my head sometimes, and often reply conversations in my head that haven't happened yet.
  15. I often vacillate between moments of extroversion and introversion, even though I am definitely an introvert (need alone time to recharge).
  16.  Chaos bothers me and puts me into sensory overload. Give me a quiet afternoon with a book, over a chaos filled amusement park any day of the week!
  17. Integrity is very important to me! I live by my own set of morals.
What is your personality type? Can you relate to the things on my list? If you are an INFJ too, was there anything I forgot?

Well, that's all for now! See you next week!  ^_^
