I saw a link on someones FB page to an article in The Huffington Post that matched book characters to peoples personality traits based on the Myers Briggs somethinganother. If you didn't know your personality type there was a link in the above article to a FREE test! They had me at Hello!
The test results are in, and my personality type is INFJ. A box outlines me as 12% more introvert than extrovert. 12% more intuitive than sensing. 12% more feeling than thinking. 89% more judging than perceiving. Not the kind of judging you in like appearance, but another kind of judging that I still have no idea about but I am lot of it!!
This Myers guy really knows how to win a girls heart because it doesn't take long until I read this sentence. "INFJ's are a rare personality type. Only 1% of people have this personality type." By this time I have forgotten all about my matching book character, and I am trying to figure out just how big of a weirdo I really am. I mean, Wes already thinks
And now you are going to think it, too. The test results go on to describe in detail the characteristics of INFJ's. All of which I agree with and totally think describe me in detail. Like how I really am concerned about hurting other peoples feelings, but at the same time I don't always play well with others. And the fact that INFJ's lives are very orderly and organized but one thing is usually a mess like a desk. For me, that is my car; it is a disaster. Don't go in there. It smells and dirt is all over the place. Wes comments all the time about how I just let my car go, and it boggles his mind. Now we know why! Just blame it on the INFJ!
It also goes on to explain that INFJ's are very intuitive. Like the most intuitive of anybody. People who believe they have psychic powers are usually, you guessed it, INFJ's. Here comes the crazy... Wes and I pass by this house on the outskirts of Hattiesburg every time we go to visit my parents. Big sign in the front yard of their house reads: Palm Readings. Wes asked me last time we passed if I wanted to do it. I said absolutely NOT!! I believed that some people could tell the future, and I did not want to know mine especially if it was BAD! He just laughed that whatever laugh. I was like no seriously!!
Me: Babe, I think some people have feelings about stuff and can tell when something bad is about to happen.
Wes: Okay, yeah. People have feelings about stuff that doesn't mean they happen.
Me: I have had a lot dreams about stuff, and then they HAVE HAPPENED!!
Wes: (plays his favorite game)Name one time.
I will spare you
I am sure Wes was rolling his eyes all kind of crazy in his head by the time I got through my list, and then he looked at me. I knew he no longer thought I was a big bag but a giant bag of crazy cat lady!
Wes: No, you are just PSYCHO!!
And all of this before I ever learned that I was the weirdo INFJ personality type with possible psychic abilities.
Well, it is still to be determined if I am a psychic or psycho or just a crazy cat lady, but in the mean time, I will blame it all on the INFJ (whatever that is).
Peace out!!
No, INFJs just "cold read" themselves. You have a dream. Anytime in the near future when something happens, you convince yourself the dream predicted it. We live in a wide wide world. A whole bunch of things happen in that world at any given time. Dreams can be interpreted a million different ways, so a person who combines high levels of intuition, emotion, and judging are going to convince themselves there's a connection.
ReplyDeleteOr simply put, dreams may really have meanings, and you are just convincing yourself that they don't. This type of logic is irrational itself.
