Cass, I spent over 2 decades “as” an INTP before realizing that was a repressed and somewhat trauma-influenced part of me coming out by stuffing down emotions and meaning. My true INFP is finally out and learning how to drive. :-) Cheers!!!
I can relate to the person’s situation heavily. A few years ago, I took the Meyers Brigg test and came out as an INFJ and i was confused but I’ve just recently discovered that I’m an INFJ after spontaneously deciding to do further research into my personality type on a whim last weekend. I’ve read numerous articles on personality hacker and introvert dear that have confirmed it for me.
I’m an INFP that often tests out as INTP, but I know after reading all of the info that I could get my hands on that my true type is in fact INFP, so I definitely relate to your situation, but I just had to buckle down and try to understand the different types, and what I really feel.
This makes a lot of sense to me, and makes ne feel better. I’ve thought I was an INFJ for the longest time, because that is what I kept getting on the tests, and a lot of tue characteristics applied. But when I read the synopsis of the INFP, and continued looking further into it – THAT is who I am. There isn’t one thing about that personality type that isn’t true of me (at least not that I’ve yet found). It helps to know that others are mistyped.
This makes SO much sense! Like the woman who kept getting results as either an ISFJ or an INFJ – the same happened to me. I know that ISFJ are a pretty common type, and I always thought to myself, “I feel way too misunderstood to be such a ‘common’ type”. So, I finally just broke down and read one by one each of the personality types. I identified myself as an INFP, it fit just like a glove and I was ecstatic! I felt as though I had finally found how I tick inside – I had finally found some answers to where I didn’t feel like I was lost. So, this is really great information regarding those who really feel they are an INFP but keep falling back with, “well, what if I AM an ISFJ?” or “well, what if I AM an INFJ?”. Thanks so much for the information!!!
