This Myer-Briggs thing is only indicative of a pattern in which your brain processes and outputs information. It's not some cold reading bullshit. I'd be INFP, but you probably could have guessed that from the OBVIOUS profile picture. I gained some useful insights from this a long time ago: - Figuring out why I get along so well with artistic personalities, even though they don't EVER understand me. (And they are no longer expected to). - Figuring out to stop taking people's judgements personally. (I fail at this alot still.) Alot of judgmental people will probably never like me; I just cannot help myself messing up their rules with my careless attitude. (I apologize in advance). - My Thinking is really well developed, so it's quite easy for me to deal with those T-personalities by translating what I'm feeling into analytical concepts. - Figuring out what introverted means - I was so confused since I LOVE social interaction: talking, teasing and giving speeches. It just means all my motivations/decisions come from within and I'm hard to influence one way or the other. Plus, I have a crazy wild imagination I can daydream with when someone annoying is talking to me. And strangely enough I'm way different from most INFPs, simply because I chose when I was 18-19 to quit trying so hard and adopt my SFP friends purely hedonistic approach to life. The other option is to channel all that perfectionistic drive into a dream. I picked having a good life as my dream. Yep, INFP is pretty damn cool, if you figure out how to abuse your strengths and work hard on your weaknesses. Definately delegate anything that doesn't come naturally - like organizing a closet or something mind numbingly repetative. Then give out compliments - INFPs are talented at making people feel good. Btw, an INFP CAN lead, it's just an inspirational style. Appoint a manager for the gritty parts :). I hope this helps you two INFPs out.
