My PERSONA...lity

People that don´t quite know me may say that I´m a quick-witted, wild, crazy humorist; always laid-back, don´t really take things seriously(believe everything is a joke); always happy as sunshine, rainbows, butterflies, flowers and smiley faces(whatever, you name it). This flamboyant personality of mine, as some would say, was the result of a desperate attempt of creating an image for people to like(including you) and a way to fit into society. Being a perfectionist is what led me to make these drastic changes, the need to please everyone and the want to be loved and accepted by everybody. I was starving for love and living a shattered like, due to some family issues, but that´s another story... Deep down inside I´m quiet, really emotional and like to be alone every now and then, not lonely. I´m also kind of a pushover, that doesn´t mean you are going to take advantage of it and treat me like *cow poop*. I can be funny, yes, but I don´t want to be a joke(there´s a huge difference). Laugh with me, just don´t laugh AT me!

According to the test my personality type is I.N.F.J. for:
78% Introverted, 50% Intuitive, 17% Feeling and 4% Judging.
The results might shock some of you, but it´s scarily accurate!
After I finished the test I thought . . . ¨OK, what does I.N.F.J. mean? Introverted... yeah, a little bit, but feeling? judging? what does it have to do with my personality anyways?¨ and as if I didn´t care I randomly clicked on the Famous Personalities link. I remember thinking ¨DAY-ANG!¨ *snap snap, wiggle(didn´t actually happen)* when I saw Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana on that list, because the first thing that ran through my mind was... ¨1.) I´ll grow pudgy, 2.) go to jail, 3.) come out flabby and die in a car crash.¨

Anyways...
Us INFJs aka Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, we think of others before/rather than ourselves, we´re also highly intuitive and can recognize another´s emotion or intentions. Even though INFJs can be quiet from time to time(to recharge our batteries), we´re both kind and positive in our handling of others; not to mention great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Most INFJs are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Since we already have a hectic ¨inner life¨ we like to work in harmony with others, and will do whatever it takes to help the group get along with each other, so we all can work smoothly and pleasantly and live happily ever after(not really, but whatever...).
I´ll probably hurt the group by not sharing enough and left things unspoken since I am more of a listener and not the talky kind. Like y´all know I like perfection so if I´m being too harsh on you -I´m sorry- but I probably won´t, because I know we´ll do a great job serving the people and be a blessing to them!
By the way, I don´t want the group to think I have mood swings or bipolar personalities(just that I look cranky when I´m thinking or meditating).

*PS: I took test again just to make sure and apparently I´m also I.N.J.P, but it´s pretty much the same as I.N.J.F.
