Personality Profile - INFJ

We were chatting personality profiles at work today. It seems after answering about 100 questions, I am according to Meyer Briggs what is known in the trade as an INFJ... which apparently is a rare thing.

The scarey thing is, looking at the points in every aspect... the assessment is pretty much bang on!

INFJ Strengths

• Warm and affirming by nature
• Dedicated to achieving the ultimate relationship
• Sensitive and concerned for others' feelings
• Usually have good communication skills, especially written
• Take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
• Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
• Good listeners
• Are able to move on after a relationship has ended (once they're sure it's over)

INFJ Weaknesses

• Tendency to hold back part of themselves
• Not good with money or practical day-to-day life necessities
• Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
• Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
• Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship
