I've wavered in scores throughout my (relatively short) adult lifetime, but this time, it came out INFP. I deviate quite a bit from the mould it describes, and while I've actually considered many of the careers it suggests, I'm pretty sure most or all of them would just end up driving me insane. (For the record, I'm considering finishing my accountancy two-year, because bookkeeping is one of the few things I've found which lets me stop feeling and intuiting, and just lets me compute, with no ambiguity, no need to feel anything, and no need to make decisions. I honestly don't know what that makes me.)

INTP: "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. They are good at logic and math and make good philosophers and theoretical scientists, but not writers or salespeople. 1% of the total population.

Though I think I came up INFP... when I took the Myers Briggs full test...

ESTJ: "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. These are responsible mates and parents and are loyal to the workplace. They are realistic, down-to-earth, orderly, and love tradition. They often find themselves joining civic clubs! 13% of the total population

I'm an INFP. My job's not a dreamer-job, but that's alright. I need the structure of my 8-5 cubicle life to keep me going. It's so hard to create my own structure.

INFP's feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial dispositions, tends to leave them confused as to who they really are. Their quiet personalities further feeds their feelings of depersonalization. The INFP's quest for self-identity then seems even more alluring — but increasingly impossible to attain.

yep

As with all NFs, the INFP will feel lost and perplexed at stressful times. As stress builds, INFP's become disconnected from their own personality and perceived place in life. They will lose sight of who they are in relation to time and place. They may not make basic observations, while instead they will focus on the more abstract and symbolic meanings of a particular interaction. This can sometimes baffle those who expect more direct communication and a fairly concrete relationship.

yep

so far the only ENTP...
i am pretty sure the first 3 are constants for me... tho i do tend to flip on the P/J...

i thought it was interesting that the vast majority that tested in this group came as I... but... that seemed to me to feel wakked because a lot of the folks that tested as I are folks that share a lot here...
i assume that could mean nothing... i mean... this is almost anonymous... well... sorta... you dont have to come out in front of anyone to speak out here... and... you can keep what you want to yourself...
yeah... its prolly not as interesting as i thought it was...
sigh...
