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!




So to those that know me, does the sound like me? What is your personality type?

I'm a Two.

Have you guys ever taken an Enneagram test?

I'm a Two.

Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. They typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.

• Basic Fear: Of being unwanted, unworthy of being loved
• Basic Desire: To feel loved

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.

• Share fun times with me.
• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.

• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

In Intimate Relationships

• Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
• Reassure me often that you love me.
• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a Two

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
• being generous, caring, and warm
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Two

• not being able to say no
• having low self-esteem
• feeling drained from overdoing for others
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tune in to them
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

I cannot tell you how perfectly this describes me. I am sure that anyone reading this who knows me is giggling, and nodding, because this is SO. ME. Just yesterday I texted two of my friends to make sure they knew I loved them.

Just thought I'd share these today. I love things like this. I love figuring out I'm not alone in the world or with my feelings. I want to know what number you are!
