According to the Jung Typology Test, I belong to the INFJ type, having moderate preferences of Introversion (44%), Intuition (38%), Feeling (25%) and Judging (56%) over their counterparts in the respective dichotomies. Belonging to the INFJ type means that I am an introvert, i.e., a person, who finds energy in the inner world and is not very prone to being friends with many people. At the same time, relying on my intuition, rather that senses, and basing my decisions on feelings, rather than logic, I am focused on my own emotions and the intricacies of the human relationships. This means that I dedicate much time to thinking about people and their feelings and emotions. At the same time, being a Judging type, I am a rational person, who tries to align all my personal experiences and knowledge about myself and others with the existing stable structure of the world. According to the official Humanmetrics description, such people usually find their mission in human-related professions, including psychology, and I strongly agree with this part of the INFJ type description, as I am highly interested in people in general and find the opportunity to understand them better by studying psychology, as well as the later chance to help them fascinating ("INFJ Description"). Overall, I agree with the personality description, as indeed I do not strive for having many friends, but rather dedicate my time to the ones I feel most connected with. The description of the type reveals that I am an empathic person, which is partially why I am interested in learning more about people. However, at the same time I think that I do not fall into many parts of the description regarding the Feeling inclination, as I scored only 26% on the Feeling scale, which means that I am somewhere between Feeling and Thinking, though Feeling is prevalent. I believe that each result should be assessed separately, as people falling into each type can have different percentage in the dichotomies, which affects the personality description.
