Essay On Infj Personality

Before taking the Myers-Briggs Interactive Test, I didn’t really know what to expect or what kind of questions I would be answering in order to determine what my personality type would be. Afterwards however, I wasn’t too surprised with my results of the test. Out of the sixteen different personality types, I got the INFJ personality type which simply means dominant introverted intuition. All of those letters were pretty self-explanatory and accurate according to how my temperament and personality are. The statistical conclusion was 67% introvert (I), 38% intuitive (N), 50% feeling (F), and 56% judging (J). Therefore I had a distinctive preference of introversion over extraversion, a moderate preference of intuition over sensing, a moderate preference of feeling over thinking, and a moderate preference of judging over perceiving.
I’ve been introverted all my life and if I could change any characteristic and result of the personality test, it would be this one. Introverts tend to think first and act second which I believe is a positive characteristic that applies to me. I’m not a “spur of the moment” type of person in the least therefore I like to think of pros/cons and negative/positive consequences of a decision or action. I also value my alone time and prefer to spend most of my time either alone, with my husband, or with a small group of people.
I do believe that I am motivated internally and because of that, I can be kind of distant and disconnected from the world. Being a student online where I spend most of my time at home, my mind is constantly active and I sometimes don’t take the time to engage in what’s going on in the world. Intimate, one-on-one relationships are of utmost importance to me, especially with my husband....

Without Introverted Intuitive personality types such as myself, there wouldn’t be the minds that explore all of the mysteries that lie within humanity and the universe. There would be no contemplation and investigation on the complexity of life as we know and don’t know it. There would be no way to seek the trends past and present that will define the future. I am a perseverant individual with a vision but because of my introversion, I have a quiet external shell which can keep me from fulfilling some aspects of my vision. Because I am a dominant introverted intuition personality type however, it’s more likely that I will go back to my visions even if people don’t believe it is even a part of my mindset anymore. I’m determined, motivated, and often see things that are about to happen, as well as the near and far future.
