My personality according to Carl Jung.
You're an INFJ!
As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
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.

INFJs place
great importance on having things orderly and systematic in their outer
world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for
getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities
in their lives. 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. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith
into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict
between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being
as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some
signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a
consistently messy desk.
INFJs
have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings"
about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example,
some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting
strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and
discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of
thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself
does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be
verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner
selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share
it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and
typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves,
and can be secretive.
But the
INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special
place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see
their special gifts and depth of caring. 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.
Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally
peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend
to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health
problems when under a lot of stress.
Because
the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own
instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and
tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're
right. On the other hand, 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 believe in constant growth,
and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have
strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with
what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their
personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely,
they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their
families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.
INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient,
devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have
strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their
children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can
sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But
generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental
guidance, combined with deep caring.
In
the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be
creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art,
and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition.
INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not
good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will
either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become
enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the
big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about
details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.
The
INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not
necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of
feeling and personal achievement.
