INTJ

keirsey.com...

Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords.

Yep.

Interesting that the career types were:
1. what I do for a living now
2. What I wish I did for a living now..

I must have answered honestly

My profile is among the Rationals group--type ENTJ, the Fieldmarshal or Executive:
Extraverted(1%)-Intuitive(88%)-Thinking(50%)-Judging(56%)

keirsey.com...

Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshal, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations - and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.

I'm more compassionate and empathic than this profile would let on, but I believe that's due to the clinical nature of the description (nuances of personality are neglected) rather than an actual discordance between my personality and the prescribed personality type. I can't locate anything in the profile that does not accurately describe me.

Edit to shorten quote.

I've got INFP as well, 11,38, 62, 22, got classified as a healer haha. I'd say the results are pretty spot on, I'm an extremely emotional person, and the feelings of others deeply affect me and the choices I make on a daily basis...but I'd have to add that I'm a bit more cynical than I'm given credit for!

Qualitative Analysis
slightly expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality

Great find, thanks for sharing!
INFP Type Description 2

Introverted Sensing (Feeling)

Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in the third position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent- mindedness and other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people awareness provides a balancing, mitigating effect.

Some famous people
Homer
Virgil
Mary, mother of Jesus
St. John, the beloved disciple
St. Luke; physician, disciple, author
William Shakespeare, bard of Avon
Dick Clark (American Bandstand)
Donna Reed, actor (It's a Wonderful Life)
Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis
Neil Diamond, vocalist
Tom Brokaw, news anchor


edit: added some famous people and another description that I think fits me haha

Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

INFJ
very expressed introvert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality

Careers- Archaeology is my dream job, Graphic Design is my past job, and Humanities is my current job- dead on!

Yep, that's about right.

ESTJ - Overseer, Protector

Practical, traditional, and organized. Likely to be athletic. Not interested in theory or abstraction unless they see the practical application. Have clear visions of the way things should be. Loyal and hard-working. Like to be in charge. Exceptionally capable in organizing and running activities. "Good citizens" who value security and peaceful living.

Dominant: Extraverted Thinking

Fits me pretty well, actually. Those who know me would disagree with the organized part, but what they don't realize is my disorganization is actually organized.

I'm an INFJ apparently.

They are usually right, and they usually know it.

Damn that test is right

It's funny that i came across this thread.
At the start of my co op program in high school recently this year,
My teacher insisted it was highly accurate.
I took the test and i was utterly surprised.
I am an INFJ.
as someone else has already said,
we are 1% of the population.
strangely enough, i took journalism and got a placement with my local newspaper.Myers briggs determined that INFJs are great writers.
I doubted this test, but upon reading the results of my test,
I was kinda shocked at how accurate it really was.
More people should take this test I think.

Interesting.
I have taken this test before and I got INFP (The Idealist or Dreamer). Whenever I take this test, I get either INFP or INTP and on one test that I did I got exactly 50-50 between INTP and INFP. So I'm right smack in the middle of the
(T)hinking-(F)eeling spectrum which explains the 1% I got for thinking in this test.

I personally feel that INFP describes my personality more accurately than INTP as I'm very idealistic, but I guess one can be both.

I've covered this topic, but never on ATS. Quite honestly I had no idea ATS'ers were as educated as they are on the subject. For the record I am an INFP, intuition is what ATS thrives on. If you are a psychology enthusiast you know that David Kiersey's "Please Understand Me II" is the temperament and personality bible.

If you are not into psychology, at least read this book! It is a condensed version of many renowned psychologists including Carl Jung and Jean Peaget. It will very honestly provide you with a much wider understanding of human life.

The Mastermind

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Yowza!
I would have never known....

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner", Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Interesting... very, verry interestinggg...
Now I know where I stand.
Mwahahaha!

You can take the test for free online, INFJ's are rare to find so this is pretty cool. You do know that in order for the test to be accurate that you must take it multiple times? If you're not paranoid I will send you a copy of the official Meyers/Peaget test, otherwise I can e-mail or send it to a PO Box. Either way it's worth it, I find type hunting to be a hobby.

Your Type is
ISFP
Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
78 12 12 44

ISFP

Quiet, serious, sensitive and kind. Do not like conflict, and not likely to do things which may generate conflict. Loyal and faithful. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment.

Click here for a detailed description of ISFP.

The Artist

As an ISFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five sense in a literal, concrete fashion.

ISFPs live in the world of sensation possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal. They're likely to choose jobs and careers which allow them the freedom of working towards the realization of their value-oriented personal goals.

wow, a lot of introverts here. I am an ENTP or ENFP I can't remember now.
But I tend to go introverted at times too.
The descriptions were very spot on for me when I took the test.

I should take it again now that I feel I have changed somewhat.
