I’m an **INFJ** - Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging 🙄 * * * **Counselors** have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes. ---

Your Type is **ISTJ** Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging Strength of the preferences % 67 25 25 56 You are: - distinctively expressed introvert - moderately expressed sensing personality - moderately expressed thinking personality - moderately expressed judging personality The one word that best describes **Inspectors** is **superdependable**. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are extraordinarily persevering and dutiful, particularly when it comes to keeping an eye on the people and products they are responsible for. In their quiet way, Inspectors see to it that rules are followed, laws are respected, and standards are upheld. Inspectors (as much as ten percent of the general population) are the true guardians of institutions. They are patient with their work and with the procedures within an institution, although not always with the unauthorized behavior of some people in that institution. Responsible to the core, Inspectors like it when people know their duties, follow the guidelines, and operate within the rules. For their part, Inspectors will see to it that goods are examined and schedules are kept, that resources will be up to standards and delivered when and where they are supposed to be. And they would prefer that everyone be this dependable. Inspectors can be hard-nosed about the need for following the rules in the workplace, and do not hesitate to report irregularities to the proper authorities. Because of this they are often misjudged as being hard-hearted, or as having ice in their veins, for people fail to see their good intentions and their vulnerability to criticism. Also, because Inspectors usually make their inspections without much flourish or fanfare, the dedication they bring to their work can go unnoticed and unappreciated. While not as talkative as Supervisor Guardians [ESTJs], Inspectors are still highly sociable, and are likely to be involved in community service organizations, such as Sunday School, Little League, or Boy and Girl Scouting, that transmit traditional values to the young. Like all Guardians, Inspectors hold dear their family social ceremonies-weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries - although they tend to be shy if the occasion becomes too large or too public. Generally speaking, Inspectors are not comfortable with anything that gets too fancy. Their words tend to be plain and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; their clothes are often simple and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; and their home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than trendy or ostentatious. As for personal property, they usually choose standard items over models loaded with features, and they often try to find classics and antiques - Inspectors prefer the old-fashioned to the newfangled every time. ---

**This sums me up to a T, frighteningly accurate** **Your Type is ENFP** **Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving** **Strength of the preferences %** **11 12 12 11 Idealist Portrait of the Champion (ENFP**)Like the other Idealists,**Champions** are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can’t wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types. ---

Although i have to say shine just seems to work as a sedative for me o.O So using shine in the presence of an INFP sedates the INFP? I’m not quite sure what you meant. What would one wear to attract an INFP? ---

INTJ for me. Makes sense as to why I like [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/), CTTM and Instant Shine so much. Brings me out of my shell but also makes me more approachable to others. ---

> [@xev](#): > > Again I say, why are there so many INTJ’s around when it is supposed to be like 2% of the population or something? Let’s hypothesize: 1. INTJ’s are somewhat socially disfunctional, so they end up shopping for pheromones in an attempt to mitigate their weaknesses in disproportionate numbers vs. the other personality types. 2. When people self-administer the test, the result gets biased towards who they want to be more than who they really are. So some of us who think we are INTJ are really not. 3. Personality tests are really full of crap, and the attempt of the social scientists to slake their science envy of the real sciences. Opinions? ---

Most of the people at my institution are INTJs. It’s crazy. I’d go with a combination of #1 and #2. Most forum lurkers tend to be introverts as well…I mean…most extroverts are out partying while introverts tend to be lurking online. 😛 ---

> [@Kav](#): > > I like Hypothesis #1. However unfortunate that may be, it is exactly what I thought. LOL. When you take those tests, do you find the questions infuriatingly unclear, irrational, redundant, ambiguous, and poorly worded? As in, you are sitting there thinking what kind of imbecile wrote this test? I do, and I think that weighs in heavily on the side of really being an INTJ. ---
