INFJ: Introverted, Intuition, Feeling, Judging

In case anyone ever wondered what makes me tick. haha. :]
Quote about my personality type:
"INFJs, making up an estimated 1% of all people, are the most rare type (males even more so). They are introspective, caring, sensitive, gentle and complex people that strive for peace and derive satisfaction from helping others. INFJs are highly intuitive, empathetic and dedicated listeners. These traits tend to act as a "tell me what's wrong" sign on their forehead, hence the nicknames Confidant, Counselor or Empath. INFJs are intensely private and deeply committed to their beliefs."

INTROVERTED - 63%
Introversion is a preference to focus on the world inside the self. Introverts tend to be quiet, peaceful and deliberate and are not attracted to social interactions. They prefer activities they can do alone or with one other close friend, activities such as reading, writing, thinking, and inventing. Introverts find social gatherings draining.
INTUITION - 63%
Intuition refers to how people process data. Intuitive people focus on the future and the possibilities. They process information through patterns and impressions. They read between the lines, they are abstract thinkers.
FEELING - 53%
Feeling refers to how people make decisions. Feeling people are subjective and make decisions based on principles and values. They are ruled by their heart instead of their head. Feeling people judge situations and others based on feelings and extenuating circumstances.
JUDGING - 63%
Judging is the preference outwardly displayed. Judging does not mean "judgmental". Judging people like order, organization and think sequentially. They like to have things planned and settled. Judging people seek closure.

I feel quite special to be one of the most rare personality types. haha.
But I do feel like it sums me up quite well.

Thanks for posting this! After reading yours I went and took the tests myself. I should probably get around to posting mine sometime soon (hopefully I'll finish this semester eventually), but I thought it was really funny that I was also an INFJ, just with some different percentages! Maybe there is something about being born on May 9th. :)
