I'm Rare!

So there's a bloghop going on that I didn't know about until this morning. It's Blogtember and by the looks of the prompts, I need to be a part of this! The prompts are great and are giving me a much needed jump start to writing.

Today's prompt was to take this quiz and post the results. Here are my results:

I actually took the longer version of this test in high school and got the same results, so I guess things don't change. Here are some fun facts about INFJ (which I got from this website)


  • The INFJ type is believed to be very rare (less than 1 percent of the population) and it has an unusual set of traits.
  • Even though their presence can be described as very quiet, INFJ personalities usually have many strong opinions, especially when it comes to issues they consider really important in life.
  • INFJ personalities are drawn towards helping those in need – they may rush to the place of a major disaster, participate in rescue efforts, do charity work etc. INFJs see this as their duty and their purpose in life.
  • INFJs are masters of written communication, with a distinctively smooth and warm language.
  • INFJs need to have some “alone time” every once in a while or otherwise

  • INFJs take great care of other people’s feelings and expect others to return the favor. Unsurprisingly, people with this personality type are very sensitive.

INFJ strengths

  • Determined and passionate.
  • Altruistic.
  • Decisive.
  • Creative.
  • Inspiring and convincing.
  • Very insightful.

INFJ weaknesses

  • Extremely private.
  • Can burn out easily.
  • Very sensitive.
  • Perfectionistic.
  • Always need to have a cause.
INFJ In The Workplace (Peggy, Lynn, Mags, Amy 1 and 2, Christina---can you confirm/deny these? haha)
  • Loathe conflict and tension
  • Highly idealistic, but also very insightful, able to sense somebody’s motives nearly instantly
  • Surprisingly social and eloquent, quickly and easily connecting with their co-workers
  • Popular, friendly and altruistic (however, INFJs need to make sure that their generosity is not being abused)
  • Very serious about their duties and responsibilities, especially if they are strongly aligned with the INFJ’s principles
  • Seek harmony and cooperation
  • Prioritize values and good atmosphere rather than cold facts or ruthless efficiency
  • Need to be able to work alone if they choose to
And, just for fun...two cartoons about INFJ that relate to my life!

I think INFJ suits you! You're a helper and a giver, and you stand up for what you believe in!
