Theme: What's your MBTI and do you vibe with it?
Okay, I think I'll add some more to this post tomorrow (it was so hot today I haven't been much good at thinking) but my MBTI is indeed INFP. I believe some more of our friends are also INFPs? (I won't name names because I refuse to be proven wrong) but we shall see...
I think I pretty much relate to/agree with my MBTI. I'm not a big MBTI person, mostly because I forget what all the letters stand for. (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving? I will not fact check that) Versus with zodiac, I feel like i have a sense of what the other signs are like (or at least I have certain people I associate with each sign), with MBTI I feel like there's so many, so I don't know the different types as well. Hopefully I'll learn some more from you guys this week. :^)
But INFP's little nicknames that I've seen are "The Helper," and "The Mediator," which initially I don't know if I'd agree with. I mean, that's what I'd like to be seen as. Like, I want people to think I'm helpful and kind (slash: I want to be helpful and practice kindness in a way that is significant), but at least speaking for Erin 1.0 I don't know if she is that person yet. Hopefully someday~
Other than that, INFPs are supposed to be pretty introspective, idealist, dreamy, and keep small circles of friends. I relate to all of that, so I think I jive with it pretty well. I feel like the descriptions of INFP let me see some of what I think is the best in myself, even though sometimes I don't feel confident enough to claim it. I think a lot of the INFP traits, especially the ones about wanting to make the world better, listen to people, and offer kindness, help give me a little list of the traits I'm trying to cultivate in myself.
So, whether or not I think "that's me," when I read about INFPs, I definitely think, "That's the kind of person I want to be," and sometimes, I think, the kind of person I could become.
Also, what's all your enneagrams? Mine is type 4, which has some overlap with INFP, but I definitely relate to my enneagram type the most out of any personality quiz thing, for better or for worse. Here's the quiz if you don't know your type.
OMG when I retook the test I didn't read your or Naoni's posts bc I didn't want to be influenced but it's confirmed :-0 we are the same type! Maybe it also runs within the roots of the types to be doubtful of everything though, because I also relate when you say you're not sure if you deserve some of these describers even though you know you want to be that way :/ Like one of the weaknesses described was "Too Altruistic – Mediators sometimes see themselves as selfish, but only because they want to give so much more than they are able to. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen…
I never took this enneagram test: I just took it and it says that I am Type 2 Wing 1 or simply 2w1. I read the description and I think I identify pretty well with it. And you mbti is interesting, I thought you were infj with me,Aboni, and Rachel but I’m always bad at remembering these kinds of things too. After reading the infp description, I can for sure see that. Also I like what you did there with the title ;)
Oh cool I’m gonna take it again the last time i took it i was like everything so let’s see if I changed :))
