Years ago when I first encountered the Myers-Briggs types I felt they were a revelation. Everyone in my family was some kind of N-T, and so was everyone whom I felt I knew well. I became a sort of evangelist, with a simple questionnaire that sorted people into types, and got everyone to take the test. Lots of people whom I had never felt I understood well came out as quite different types from mine. Oh!

I found this paperback explaining the types, with the questionnaire in it. Its explanations for my type all seemed to me like, "Of course, everyone thinks or feels that." It was a revelation to find that people could be quite different in all these ways. And it was a bit of an affirmation, as well, to be told that I wasn't just weird, that I was a particular type.

Then again though, I wasn't exactly a particular type. Depending on how I was feeling when I answered the questionnaire, I might be ENTP or INTP. For a while I concluded that I was really Introvert but could pass for Extrovert when I wanted. Now I think that the Myers-Briggs theory may have encouraged me to neglect socialising for years, when in fact I would have liked to have more friends.

And since then I've read critiques of Myers-Briggs that point out that it's really not based on anywhere near enough data. So I still think that the scheme may be worthwhile up to a point, but now I think that it's a bad idea to take it too seriously, to the point of making one's Myers-Briggs type an important part of one's identity.

Playing with Tarot cards can also be fun. There is no way at all that the cards know the future, but their suggestive symbols can work as less-random inkblots to trigger associations that let you recognise hopes and fears. Myers-Briggs might be somewhat less random and arbitrary than Tarot, but it isn't science.

I get that. Sometimes I want to be around friends and other times I'm overwhelmed. I like to think that we develop our personality over time.

Portrait of the Guardian Inspector ISTJ

reliable
Inspectors are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs. They are the guardians of institutions, and can best be described as being steadfast, dedicated, and consistent. They can be counted on to follow through—to get the job done in a precise and thorough manner. Inspectors are rock solid dependable—responsible and trustworthy—standing as honorable men and women of great character. In all matters, their highest commitment is to be diligent in keeping their duties.

straightforward
A promise made is a promise kept. For Inspectors, they naturally communicate a message of trustworthiness and stability, which can make them successful in business and in many other affairs. Their words tend to be simple and down home, not showy or high-flown. More often than not, they are conservative and modest. Their home and work environments are kept neat, orderly, and simple. "What you see, is what you get" with these straightforward individuals.

institutional
Inspectors are likely to be involved in community service organizations that transmit traditional values. Whether it is donating their time or their financial resources, they invest for future returns that benefit society. They understand and appreciate the contributions these institutions make in preserving cultural values, and national pride. At work, Inspectors are patient with their job and with established institutional procedures.

inspecting
Inspectors are careful examiners, always attentive in their scrutinizing. They must ensure that all is certified as right and proper. They pay close attention to the details, so that no irregularities or discrepancies are permitted. When it comes to the due diligence required, they do not cut corners or take any shortcuts—nothing escapes their inspecting eyes. When they uncover errors or inconsistencies, they are eager to bring about correction, and are not afraid to confront those who have missed the mark.

standardizing
Inspectors quietly see to it that uniform quality of product is maintained, and that those around them uphold certain standards of attitude and conduct. They are most comfortable when people know their duties, follow the guidelines, and operate within the rules. Rules are there to be followed, they say, not meant to be worked around for any reason. Inspectors will see to it that goods are examined and schedules are kept, that resources will be up to standard and delivered when and where they are supposed to be.

conservative
Inspectors are firm and consistent; they make the rules of the game clear and expect them to be followed. They do not tolerate rebelliousness, nonconformity, and waywardness. When there is work to be done, there is no time for fun and games—play must be earned through hard work. "Better safe than sorry" is their motto, and they would rather err on the side of being redundant than leaving a procedure up to chances. In all circumstances, Inspectors seek to do what is right, fitting, and appropriate.

Portrait of the Idealist Counselor INFJ


intensity
Counselors are complex individuals possessing a quiet but very certain intense aura. They will almost always go the extra mile even when it is not necessary. Their intensity is revealed in their perfectionistic pursuits and in their judicious nature. They stand their ground at all costs when their core beliefs are questioned or threatened. The intensity which manifests during these contentions can be extremely infectious. Even when words are not present the intensity can still be felt.

developing
Counselors make mentoring their focus as they help people to realize their true human potential. They thrive when they are involved in one-to-one interactions where they are nurturing personal development. In fostering growth they trust their intuition as they seek to discover a person's identity. Rather than refining mere skills and abilities, they yearn to take on an individual as a disciple. Growth must be personal and meaningful for it to be authentic and lasting.

wholeness
Counselors value harmony in all of their relationships and want all the groups they are a part of to feel healthy and whole. They make every effort to bring people and processes together, so that all is well integrated. They desire for the whole group to run smoothly and pleasantly. These individuals enjoy pleasing others and they find conflict disagreeable and destructive. They respond well to affirmation and use approval as a means of motivating others.

private
Counselors tend to be private, sensitive people, and thus are not usually highly vocal or visible. Sometimes they can be hard to get to know, for they have an unusually rich inner life. Even their closest friends who have known them for many years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Their inner circle of friends and colleagues is likely to be small, deep, and longstanding. Counselors find their source of energy in contemplation and solitude, where they often retreat to gain perspective and renew themselves.

empathy
Counselors have a strong empathic nature which makes them feel that they are aware of others' emotions or intentions. They have exceptional intuitive ability, extending to insight regarding people, things, and often events, even taking the form of visions and premonitions. They are outstanding at counseling others because they have a unique gift to get in touch with people's inner lives. They are successful in dealing individually with others because of their personal warmth, insight, devotion, and interpretive skills.

connecting
Counselors have a natural talent for reaching people through authentic connection. They yearn for connections which are soulful and deep. They look at life through a romantic lens where all of their relationships must be characterized by a special bond that is idealistic. Connecting for them is conveyed in a heartfelt and careful manner through either written or verbal expression. Their great talent for metaphorical language is usually directed toward communicating with people in a very personalized way.

Wonder why I got a completely different one with the different test. Is it ISTJ or INFP? Which test did you use?

Edit: I'm not reliable to finish a job lol. I don't think ISTJ is me. Redid the test on a different site.

I did one on a different website and it said I'm an idealist. Doesn't say which kind without paying.

So it looks like this test is more in line with my results with the Myers Brigg test than the one I did earlier today.

I have looked at what the letters mean. I am introvert for sure. I am intuitive so N, and a perceiver so P. I think I am a thinker and a feeler. I do tend to prefer to choose by instinct and feeling than rational so maybe more feeler than thinker. So I'd agree with INFP.

I've been tested in a professional setting by a psychologist and also by professors in my psych classes. I've used a number of online tests myself for both MBTI and KTS.

Always the same. INFJ and Idealist.

ETA: If I take a spiritual gifts inventory test it comes out as Mercy being #1.
