What's your jungian typology?
Since the INFJ designation was recently mentioned in a comment, I thought I should write a little entry about the Jungian typology quiz that I put a link to on the sidebar (see "Interesting pages").
An introduction to Reena
Because I haven't really put anything "About me" on this page, other than the daily rantings of an overworked student, I thought this might be a nice sort of introduction. I'm shamelessly promoting this test because it was oddly accurate...believe it or not, but it's worth a try. What did I turn out to be, you may ask? Apparently I am an INFJ: Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging. What that really means, who knows, but here are a few main points about us INFJ's...
- INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.
- Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types*
- On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right**, and they usually know it.
- INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well***
- INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them.
- They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition.****
**hee hee. I love this description. So accurate.
***unfortunately yes. Sympathetic response / "flight or flight" kicks in at the smell of conflict...bleh.
****'tis true! see the rest of this page as evidence.
So, I think four asterisks is enough. If you haven't learnt enough about INFJ's, check out these links below: (you can also go to them to learn more about YOUR jungian typology after you do the quiz)

If anyone actually does this quiz, and finds anything freakishly similar/completely different, feel free to post a comment and let me know. I was impressed, but I would like to know what other people find :)

So flight is a natural response? That explains a lot. Hahaha.
For some reason I didn't get the significance of being an INFJ before. Only 1% in the world???
Wow, we are special...but that was obvious before, wasn't it ;)
yup!! that's why your blog is classified under "special" people...haha. AND that's why I was so excited to find out that my favourite roomie is a fellow INFJ :)
"They are usually right, and they usually know it."<---exactly.
"They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress"<---2 months of sickness...and I get sick before every exam period...and the ginormous pimples...this explains a lot.
Did you do those paintings on the side?
yua are exactly what i pictured you to be ! have a nice weekend !
jorge: yes I did! I wish I had more time to paint, but sadly this thing I call my education comes in the way :( Also the super long commute!!
court: haha...it's SO TRUE!
nike: thanks for visiting!!
How about procrastinating on Blogger or Facebook instead of doing actual work?
INTP is where it's at!
Btw, we also make up about 1% of the population. ;)
This description should not surprise anybody who knows me.
