Who am I?

k, I took the test. Turns out my Bloginality is INFP!!!  Which seem's to mean;



As an INFP, you are Intraverted, iNtuative, Feeling , Perceiving.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition.


INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world. They appear to be tranquil and peaceful to others, with simple desires. In fact, the INFP internally feels his or her life intensely. In the relationship arena, this causes them to have a very deep capacity for love and caring which is not frequently found with such intensity in the other types. The INFP does not devote their intense feelings towards just anyone, and are relatively reserved about expressing their inner-most feelings. They reserve their deepest love and caring for a select few who are closest to them. INFPs are generally laid-back, supportive and nurturing in their close relationships. With Introverted Feeling dominating their personality, they're very sensitive and in-tune with people's feelings, and feel genuine concern and caring for others. Slow to trust others and cautious in the beginning of a relationship, an INFP will be fiercely loyal once they are committed. With their strong inner core of values, they are intense individuals who value depth and authenticity in their relationships, and hold those who understand and accept the INFP's perspectives in especially high regard. INFPs are usually adaptable and congenial, unless one of their ruling principles has been violated, in which case they stop adapting and become staunch defenders of their values. They will be uncharacteristically harsh and rigid in such a situation.


Most INFPs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationship issues:


  • Warmly concerned and caring towards others
  • Sensitive and perceptive about what others are feeling
  • Loyal and committed - they want lifelong relationships
  • Deep capacity for love and caring
  • Driven to meet other's needs
  • Strive for "win-win" situations
  • Nurturing, supportive and encouraging
  • Likely to recognize and appreciate other's need for space
  • Able to express themselves well
  • Flexible and diverse


Most INFPs will exhibit the following weaknesses with regards to relationship issues:


  • May tend to be shy and reserved
  • Don't like to have their "space" invaded
  • Extreme dislike of conflict
  • Extreme dislike of criticism
  • Strong need to receive praise and positive affirmation
  • May react very emotionally to stressful situations
  • Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship
  • Have difficulty scolding or punishing others
  • Tend to be reserved about expressing their feelings
  • Perfectionistic tendancies may cause them to not give themselves enough credit
  • Tendency to blame themselves for problems, and hold everything on their own shoulders

As a weblogger, you have wonderful words to express your feelings because of your idealism. Because you don't like conflict, you may be likely to make one list of links and leave it for a long time without updating for fear of offending.


Here are just a few popular and often satisfying careers for people whose Personality Type is INFP.


Psychologist, Human resources professional, Physical therapist, Researcher, Translator/interpreter, Legal mediator, Employee development specialist, Religious worker, College professor: humanities, Massage therapist, Social worker, Librarian, Fashion designer, Holistic health practitioner, Editor/art director (web site)


 


Does anybody Like conflict? What are they like to live with?


Anyhow, most of it's right on, some of it's out to lunch, and I have seen some growth in the "Weaknesses" area. I'm ok with conflict. I invite criticism, I'm not real needy in the praise and positive affirmation department. And I don't think I have difficulty scolding or punishing others, just ask my kids. 


Now you probably know more than you wanted to.


 


Oh, and, the cable was the problem with the networking. Amazing what a bit of sleep will do to clear the pipes.

  1. As an ENTP I would have say that I enjoy a certain level of conflict. I like observing it more than being in it but I get energized by a certain level of chaos. In high stress situations I tend to perform admirably. The only time when I really don't like conflict is when I'm involved and its kind of conflict where there are winners and losers. I don't like to lose.
