My MBTI profile

Did the short and long versions and got this both times. I did this a few years back and also turned up an INFP finding. Either variations of MBTI are extremely reliable, or I just haven't changed much.

Based on the scales, I am very strongly introverted and intuitive, strongly perceptive and moderately feeling. No scales where I toe the middle line. Hmmmm, I wonder if this has something to do with being an idealist; the idea of zealous commitment to a position.

One gripe: the 0% on the Intuitive/Sensory scale is a bit iffy, no? I can't be that unobservant!

And INFPs are such a rare bunch. I don't know whether to be proud or worried that we are apparently so unique.


INFP - the Healer
You scored 9% I to E, 0% N to S, 38% F to T, and 73% J to P!

You are more introverted than extroverted. You are more intuitive than observant, you are more feeling based than thinking based, and you prefer to go with the flow rather than having a plan. Your type can best be summarized by the word "Healer", which belongs to the larger group of idealists. You have a capacity for caring that is deeper than most. You strive for unity, are fascinated by the battles between good and evil, and can be something of an idealist. Only 1% of the population shares your type.


As a romantic partner, you are usually supportive and nuturing, however, you have a high need for individuality. Harmony is extremely important to you as you are very affected by conflict and tension, which also makes you resist confronting your partner directly about problems. When you get angry, you usually blame yourself, rather than your partner. You can also be stubborn and unyielding when you feel you are being criticized or mistreated. You feel the most appreciated when your partner listens to you carefully. You need to be understood. You need to hear your partner express their feelings, the more often, the better. Your group summary: idealists (NF)
Your type summary: INFP
