[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, I saw this thread the other day and thought "oh I can never remember which one I'm supposed to be."

And then I just took the MB to get my mind off of something else and the result was INFJ (the "Advocate") and I realized this is what I always get. Though I don't think I knew it was the rarest one.

I am a librarian. Married with one kid. I work remotely and did pre-Covid, which is what I prefer. Though ideally I would be working at my local library or coffee shop for some portion of every day because while I don't like working in an office, I do like being around people I don't have any obligation to talk to. I love observing people to an almost unhealthy degree. I've often thought I would make a great detective in another life. For now I use my investigatory skills for good tracking down information for people as a library researcher.

The hardest things about INFJ for me are the perfectionism and the sensitivity to criticism. The reason I was taking a personality quiz was because I'm so stressed about doing a task (reading feedback from my writing group on a piece I submitted) that I will do anything to avoid it. I stayed up late tonight specifically to do this and yet I can't bring myself to do so because I am so fearful of what people though. And yet I continue with this group and writing stories and submitting work. I feel like a big part of my personality is doing things that scare me but in the most stressful way possible. I look before I leap, and then leap, and then spend the entire time I'm in air thinking "oh my god why did I do this I'm going to die." And then I do it again. Sigh.

Anyway, fun to read everyone's posts here. I love how many intelligence analysts there are here! I was going to do that but decided last minute to go to library school instead because I struggle with organizations that have strict rules.[/quote]

I think we are the same person.  :lol: 
Also,  I am a people observer, too, but I always thought it was for a different  reason. [/quote]
