INFP, Yeah You Know Me

The morning started late again. For some reason I haven’t been hungry until mid-morning. I’m just going with it and waiting to eat when I am.

About a half cup of yogurt with 3 T of Crofter’s Blueberry Spread with about 1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Oats.

Lunch was a fried chicken sandwich with lots of pickles. This eat-out lunch thing is going to be cut off tomorrow.

Chocolate chip fudge bites.

About 23ish minutes of intense exercise with Insanity Fast and Furious. Review on this DVD to come. I was pleased with myself for making the decision to exercise. I knew I was in need of the stress release and feel good endorphins. I had a meeting with friends later in the evening and knew I had a small window to exercise in. Normally I would have found an excuse not to. Not wanting to get sweaty, not feeling like I had enough time. My tank top reads “Never Give Up”, it’s one of my favorites.

Worst camera photo ever! At the meeting I enjoyed a plate of delicious food brought in by everyone. I started with a glass of white wine and then enjoyed a slice of sausage pizza, quinoa, goat cheese and wheat crackers, pickled beans, cucumber thingies, and fruit salad. I stopped eating when I was full. Everything felt healthy and light, and delicious as always.

At our meeting, my friend Sarah gave us the Myers Briggs personality type test. I showed up as an introvert, not too surprising. And my type as INFP which she said makes up 4% of the population. According to wikipedia my type is:

The polite, reserved exterior of INFPs can at first make them difficult to get to know. They enjoy conversation, however, taking particular delight in the unusual. When INFPs are in a sociable mood, their humor and charm shine through. Disposed to like people and to avoid conflict, INFPs tend to make pleasant company.

Devoted to those in their inner circle, INFPs guard the emotional well-being of others, consoling those in distress. Guided by their desire for harmony, INFPs prefer to be flexible unless their ethics are violated. Then, they become passionate advocates for their beliefs. They are often able to sway the opinions of others through tact, diplomacy, and an ability to see varying sides of an issue.

INFPs develop these insights through reflection, and they require substantial time alone to ponder and process new information. While they can be quite patient with complex material, they are generally bored by routine. Though not always organized, INFPs are meticulous about things they value. Perfectionists, they may have trouble completing a task because it cannot meet their high standards. They may even go back to a completed project after the deadline so they can improve it.

INFPs are creative types and often have a gift for language. As introverts, they may prefer to express themselves through writing. Their dominant Feeling drives their desire to communicate, while their auxiliary intuition supplies the imagination. Having a talent for symbolism, they enjoy metaphors and similes. They continually seek new ideas and adapt well to change. They prefer working in an environment that values these gifts and allows them to make a positive difference in the world, according to their personal beliefs.

This couldn’t be more accurate. Do you know your personality type?
