INFJ

I figured I should write my first blog describing the title. 

I first took the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory in high school.  I think I have taken it a total of 5 times since then.  I believe I was first an INFP and switched to an INFJ.  I have always enjoyed personality type tests because they give you some sort of insight into the differences that exist between people.  Whether spot on or just partially insightful, I believe each test can help you grow.  It is important to know yourself, but just as important to understand other personality types and how they connect with your own.

INFJ = Introversion, INtuition, Feeling, Judging.  I like the idea that this is the most rare type!  I am strongly on the Introversion side of the scale, pretty far on the feeling side, and closer to the middle on the intuition and judging scales. 

This description is pretty accurate.
"But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.
Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals."

Wikipedia never lets me down.  Another good description:
"INFJs have a rich, vivid inner life, which they may be reluctant to share with those around them. Nevertheless, they are congenial in their interactions, and perceptive of the emotions of others. Generally well-liked by their peers, they may often be considered close friends and confidants by most other types. However, they are guarded in expressing their own feelings, especially to new people, and so tend to establish close relationships slowly. INFJs tend to be easily hurt, though they may not reveal this except to their closest companions. INFJs may "silently withdraw as a way of setting limits", rather than expressing their wounded feelings—a behavior that may leave others confused and upset."

Maybe this can help you to understand me a little better.  If you know what you are leave me a comment!  I think these descriptions can help us better understand each other and thus improve communications.
