Personality Types

There are countless of personality tests around. So I'm trying the 16 Personalities Factor test!
I've done it once before awhile back, and reading the results let me understand myself better. And since i'm on the road to rediscovery and how to better manage myself and my emotions, no harm trying again!

* taking the test in progress....*

The results are in! im an INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, prospecting) 
Variant: Turbulent
Role: Diplomat

Well, the overview says that there is only 4% of us in the world population, and are easily misunderstood. We also choose to believe in the best of everything. We follow a set of morals or principles that we set for ourselves. When we do something, we don't expect any forms of return.

We also tend to drift away from people.

I guess it is kind of true. I find myself stuck in between social groups. And I don't belong solely in one group. Although i want to be part of the conversation/activities, I tend to drift out and listen more. Maybe it gives the impression that I'm being anti-social. Sometimes I get stuck in this awkward situation where since I am not truly in one, I am left sitting on the bench.

I like the idea of having close friends, friends that I can talk to. That I would listen to their woes even though i have mine. Friends that i would try to understand, and help whenever I can. But I dont like to really share all my deep thoughts and stuff with people, and i keep feelings generalised. Unless I am really close to them. Or at times, there are just too many things going on in my head, that i can't phrase my words properly.

I enjoy spending time alone, like watching a movie or just sitting around or window shopping. time to gather my thoughts and re-think decisions. But I also enjoy having friends around... i'm just weird la maybe.


BUT i guess such things give us an idea to why sometimes we are like that. Even though it might not be a proper explanation. I still believe that each individual is unique and cannot be understood solely based on such tests.


Shall end off with my favourite quote that has many meanings to it. A year ago, I stumbled onto this quote and I thought long and hard about it. And somehow it relates to me.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. Tolkien
