Thanks to a recent discussion with two of my wonderful fans, I learned about a fascinating personality test based on Carl Jung & Isabelle Briggs Meyers’ approaches to personality.
The test will result in a 4 letter description of your personality & explanation of what it means.
I would really like to recommend you take this test & learn what your personality is. Truly, it is a very eye opening, enlightening experience.
I learned I’m an INFJ personality, which means Introverted, INtuitive, Feeling, Judging. This happens to be the rarest personality type (which I think is pretty cool!). Reading about INFJs has answered a lot of questions I had about myself. I always thought I was weird, but in fact, I’m not- I’m simply a typical INFJ personality.
On a whim, I also took the test for my narcissistic mother, answering the questions to the best of my ability, & she turned out to be an ESTP. The description sounded a great deal like her. No wonder we clash so badly- our personalities are entirely opposite.
In any case, learning about your personality type is very helpful. It will teach you why you are the way you are. It’s also very validating. As I said, I always thought I was weird & have come to realize I’m not. It also can teach you about yourself. Learning about my personality showed me exactly why I hated certain jobs but loved others, why people (even strangers) have come to me for advice, why I can be so obsessed with details & more. I feel like I’ve learned more about myself in the short time I’ve been reading about the INFJ personality than in the rest of my life.
I hope you’ll consider doing the same. Learning who you are, learning about your personality is not only fascinating but so helpful. And, if you’ve grown up with at least one narcissistic parent, then you never had much of an opportunity to get to know who you truly are. You learned who that parent said you were. Why not finally learn about the special person God made you to be?

Cool! 🙂 Now you can learn about that type & it will probably answer a lot of questions you may have about yourself. Pinterest has a surprisingly large amount of info on the personalities!

Nice. Me too. We’re the rarest type. 1% of the population is estimated to be INFJ

I found that INFJ’s seem to gravitate to similar things- instant connections seem to form. Have you just started exploring your type?

Seems that way. Yes, I’ve only been learning about it for a couple of weeks.

Enjoy the learning (and sharing what you find!) It made my weirdness seem more special (1% of the population!) No wonder it feels lonely.

I wasn’t sure about sharing what I find since INFJs aren’t real common, but maybe I will. I also have a pinterest board devoted to the topic if you want to check it out.
Absolutely! Our weirdness isn’t weird after all- it’s unique. 🙂
It does seem lonely sometimes.. it’s frustrating when it feels like no one gets you, isn’t it?
