INFP PERSONALITY (“THE MEDIATOR”)

INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

Is this good or bad?

Not good or bad, it's just how you are. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

If you look into how it's all done, there are 16 different types of personalities of which everyone fits one. For each letter, you will be on a certain scale of how much that trait applies to you and they will move a little over time depedning on what situations you need to adapt to.

No wonder you're wraignbows voice :P I'm the same personality type as she is and when in larger social situations, i much prefer to sit back and egg on other people to do the speaking for me. It's always very amusing (at least for me) to watch people speak before they think :P

I'm generally pretty skeptical about these types of online tests.  

Quite often the assessments are written like a horoscope.  They're often broadly or loosely written to cover more possibilities.

People then say "Hey, that sounds a lot like me.  It must be true."  :lol:

 

I've got to say though, this test was a lot more in-depth with it's assessments than I expected.

There were a couple things I didn't really agree with, but overall it was fairly accurate.

Turns out I'm an ISFP-T  :)

That sort of seems to be right at first. But I had a quick read through the more detailed report and I'm not convinced.

YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE IS:

LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ-T)

 

PERSONALITY: ISTJ ("THE LOGISTICIAN")

VARIANT: TURBULENT

ROLE: SENTINEL

 

The ISTJ personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make ISTJs a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and military. People with the ISTJ personality type enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, ISTJs hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience.

ISTJs don't make many assumptions, preferring instead to analyze their surroundings, check their facts and arrive at practical courses of action. ISTJ personalities are no-nonsense, and when they've made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action. ISTJs have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but lose patience even more quickly if their chosen course is challenged with impractical theories, especially if they ignore key details – if challenges becomes time-consuming debates, ISTJs can become noticeably angry as deadlines tick nearer.

Associate With Those of Good Quality if You Esteem Your Reputation...

When ISTJs say they are going to get something done, they do it, meeting their obligations no matter the personal cost, and they are baffled by people who don't hold their own word in the same respect. Combining laziness and dishonesty is the quickest way to get on ISTJs' bad side. Consequently, people with the ISTJ personality type often prefer to work alone, or at least have their authority clearly established by hierarchy, where they can set and achieve their goals without debate or worry over other's reliability.

ISTJs have sharp, fact-based minds, and prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. Dependency on others is often seen by ISTJs as a weakness, and their passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbid falling into such a trap.

This sense of personal integrity is core to ISTJs, and goes beyond their own minds – ISTJ personalities adhere to established rules and guidelines regardless of cost, reporting their own mistakes and telling the truth even when the consequences for doing so could be disastrous. To ISTJs, honesty is far more important than emotional considerations, and their blunt approach leaves others with the false impression that ISTJs are cold, or even robotic. People with this type may struggle to express emotion or affection outwardly, but the suggestion that they don't feel, or worse have no personality at all, is deeply hurtful.

...For It Is Better to Be Alone Than in Bad Company

ISTJs' dedication is an excellent quality, allowing them to accomplish much, but it is also a core weakness that less scrupulous individuals take advantage of. ISTJs seek stability and security, considering it their duty to maintain a smooth operation, and they may find that their coworkers and significant others shift their responsibilities onto them, knowing that they will always take up the slack. ISTJs tend to keep their opinions to themselves and let the facts do the talking, but it can be a long time before observable evidence tells the whole story.

ISTJs need to remember to take care of themselves – their stubborn dedication to stability and efficiency can compromise those goals in the long term as others lean ever-harder on them, creating an emotional strain that can go unexpressed for years, only finally coming out after it's too late to fix. If they can find coworkers and spouses who genuinely appreciate and complement their qualities, who enjoy the brightness, clarity and dependability that they offer, ISTJs will find that their stabilizing role is a tremendously satisfying one, knowing that they are part of a system that works.

ISTJ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ISTJ Strengths

  • Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of the ISTJ personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to ISTJs' preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.
  • Strong-willed and Dutiful – ISTJs embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the ISTJ personality type meet their obligations, period.
  • Very Responsible – ISTJs' word is a promise, and a promise means everything. ISTJs would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for ISTJ personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they've committed themselves to.
  • Calm and Practical – None of their promises would mean much if ISTJs lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples' preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and ISTJs work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.
  • Create and Enforce Order – The primary goal of any ISTJ is to be effective in what they've chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by ISTJs. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.
  • Jacks-of-all-trades – Much like Analysts (NT), ISTJs are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows ISTJs to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.

ISTJ Weaknesses

  • Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and ISTJs tend to resist any new idea that isn't supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the ISTJ personality type to accept that they were wrong about something – but anyone can miss a detail, even them.
  • Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, ISTJs are often hurt more sensitive types' feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. ISTJ personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.
  • Always by the Book – ISTJs believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave ISTJs all but paralyzed.
  • Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and ISTJs are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.
  • Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves – All this can combine to make ISTJs believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, ISTJs sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can't deliver. Since they've heaped the responsibility on themselves, ISTJs then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.

You scored very weak on the I And F which means you could have easily changed the out come which is why you may feel it didn't describe you very well.

Depending on your mood at the time will affect the outcome. No psychology tests are going to be 100% accurate but for me, and many other people I know, this test has been right on the money. The other thing to remember about it is that it's talking about your natural state. If you're in a particular situation, you may have to adapt to fit in which people start to confuse with how they naturally are, as opposed to what they are doing. A common confusion is between being introverted and extroverted. Just because you're in a busy workplace and need to socialise for your job, it doesn't mean that you're extroverted, even though you may come across that way to others.

ISTJ, the most common and stereotyped as the boring responsible type XD I used to score a lot higher on the introverted and thinker scale. My friends are ISTJ, INTJ, INFJ, and ISFP. Yes I surround myself with introverts haha. I also happen to cover all four groupings of SJ, SP, NT and NF which I didn't realise until now.

The page you linked was interesting, I personally like the below reference website better, has some interesting thoughts on interactions between certain types http://www.humanmetrics.com/personality/istj

At the end of the day people won't slot exactly into one of 16 types but it's a great tool which provides concepts as a basis for self-reflection and exploring human behaviour and interaction. Good for evaluating why you don't get along with certain people too XD

What do you mean when you say you cover all the groupings? I'm an INTJ and have repeatedly gotten it over 3 or more years, all with slightly varying results depending on where I'm at in life but still on the intj scale. A lot of it fits very well but then there are other things that don't really fit a typical intj.

I attribute some of these things to mental health issues and developing other areas that are naturally foreign to me. So for example, an intj is usually very decisive and assertive for things that they believe in, and while I am like that for the most part, my self esteem and confidence has dropped a lot to the point that I won't bother debating and find it hard to make and stick to a decision. Generally intjs are very unemotional and can't read people's emotions very well but I think I have developed this side a fair bit and so I don't really come across as cold and distant and I make an effort to pay attention to people's emotions. This is probably because i find emotions and people's reactions extremely fascinating and want to be able to understand and read them.

On a similar note, I never realised this until kind of recently, but I do tend to do a "resting bitch face" which is usually used to describe women, but I certainly do it. When people talk to me, I get bored easily and have a blank, emotionless expression and it puts people off haha. It was very amusing with once I realised though. People are trying to explain things to me and I understood after the first sentence and then they keep repeating it since they thought I didn't understand haha. I've also noticed people get nervous and start tripping up on their words when I'm doing it and I'm secretly laughing in my mind :P

A lot of extroverts typically don't care for these tests much and I think it has to do with how you fit in with society. For me, I always felt a little odd and that I never quite fit in with people. After I found out about these tests, everything clicked and made a lot of sense. Being an INTJ is rare and most of my friends are very different from me and see the world in a different way so I started to feel a bit crazy for thinking the way that I do (even though I was totally right :P).

While I can get along with most people easily enough, there are certainly people I tend to clash with and can only spend a limited amount of time with. Since finding a few like minded people who I have become friends with, it's amazing how much easier it is to get along with them and how well you click.

OMG, Scotty!  Thank you for knowing what "resting bitch face" is.  I do it quite often in real life (not on purpose) and I swear that's why people who don't know me are too afraid to approach me, which is perfectly fine with me.  :D 

 

I've done a lot more research on the INFJ personality and it's scary how accurate it is.

Whoops bad wording I meant the types of my friends cover all four groupings XD I have always been an ISTJ the only change being I used to score extremely high on the introvert and thinker scale.

My best friend (since childhood) is an INTJ, we are very different but it works. She is not interested in behaviour though unlike you. I personally love observing people, how they act, what their body language is saying.

Feeling that you don't fit in could definitely increase interest in personality typing, for me it was more of a learning endeavour, knowledge is power after all. I have known extroverts who don't feel they fit into society but perhaps their lack of interest in such tests is a) think it has as much substance as horoscopes and/or B) their preferred way of understanding the world is not to reflect internally and read screeds of text but to go straight to learning via experiences with other people and/or c) this subject is just not interesting to them. This isn't restricted to extroverts either as most of my introvert friends don't care about personality tests. If you look at mbti forums I will say that the introvert forums are more active than the extrovert forums but this may be more to do with preferred mode of communication i.e. online (introverts being more comfortable with a barrier there) vs in person (stereotyped as the realm of the extroverts)

Haha, yeah it works well to keep people away :P It's especially off putting to extroverts since they need the validation that you're responding to what they're saying in a positive manner. Some don't care and will keep talking regardless.

I do find it frustrating too though, when I talk to someone I want their full attention and if they seem like they're not paying attention or not receptive I'll stop talking because I assume they're not interested. Since learning that I do it though I've tried to work on it a bit but I do get distracted by my own thoughts very easily. What's typical of an INTJ is that it is very hard for someone else to be more interesting than my own thoughts which is kind of true. People will say something and then ramble a bit and then I zone out for a bit thinking about anything.

Too many acronyms. Fuck me.

Each letter has an opposite that builds 16 different personality types. When they are combined they mean slightly different things so even if you know what they mean, the personality type can be very different with just one letter changed. While I understand for the most part what each trait (letter) means, I still need to read the profile to understand how that person views and thinks about the world. And then of course depending on your upbringing and life experiences, that will change your values but you still will process things in the same way.

scottyb1988.jpg

Introverts are interested in understanding themselves better since we don't always feel we fit into the norms of society.  We live in a very extroverted world.  I find I'd rather stay in my house all day and not be bothered with the overbearing and obnoxious behavior of the general population.  It might just be because I live in a big city and it's Las Vegas... full of obnoxious tourists and residents.
