INFJ.

INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates."

Well there you go. I redid the test. I have swung back to Introvert after thinking carefully about my answers. I used to be an INFP, but the J suits me more now because I am extremely angry and judgemental at the moment. Well, frustrated anyway. And hungover! Out of all the profiles I have been, this one seems to fit the most. Especially that part about being mistaken for an extrovert. I think I even mistook myself for one. Big bro explained to me tonight that part of what makes up an I or an E is where they get their energy from. I really had to think about that, and my answer was solitude, or small groups of people I was close to. So I retook the test and there you have it.

This really doesn't mean very much to me, but it does give me permission to stop pretending.

It's a really good space to be in I think, yes we may be emotionally screwed but when we focus we *really* focus.
