I've been taking the Myer Briggs Personality test for over 15 years now and I just took it again. If you haven't taken it I strongly suggest you do, it seems pretty accurate to me.
Not surprisingly, yet again, for the 16th year in a row I came up an INFJ. It also amply explains why I went in to psychology and public relations as areas of academic study when I was younger.
The description of the INFJ is as follows:
Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.
INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.
"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.
INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.
Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.
Famous INFJs in history include:
Plato (although not sure how they know this as I'm pretty sure Myer Briggs wasn't around back then).
Gandhi
Ron Paul (this might explain why I like RP so much)
Noam Chomsky
Carl Jung
Dostoevsky
Arthur Schopenhauer (might explain why he's one of my top three fav philosophers)
