INFJ

According to a Facebook test, and therefore as a matter of freaking Gospel, my Myers-Briggs personality type is INFJ, meaning that I prefer Introversion to Extra-, iNtuition to Sensing, Feeling to Thinking, and Judgment to Perception. Another website told me I was INFP. Either way I am rare; Wikipedia says the occurrence among test takers is 1.5% for the former and 4.3% for the latter.

I am not proud of my last three characteristics (N, F, and J, which result I'll focus on for the rest of this short post). And you, dear reader, are probably less likely to seek surcease of sorrow from the writings of an F-ing J in the future. Bear with me for now.

I will say that I find it weirdly accurate what Wikipedia says that result says about my personality, particularly the bad parts of it. I'll let you, dear reader, guess at what I might be talking about. But at this point I am trying to be skeptical, wondering to what extent its evaluation is like saying "Libras strive for abstract fairness but may feel compelled towards emotional bias in specific, heated situations."

Lastly, I find it interesting that Adam Sandler is a purported brother INFJ. I felt uncontrollably sympathetic towards his character in Punch Drunk Love, and I think it's for his very INFJ-ness I just read about. It seemed to me he played his same old type-cast self, just in a drama - Sad Gilmore, if you will - and the profound chord it struck in me rings on today.
