    I just took the Meyers-Briggs (or a free internet equivalent, anyways) and found that I am an INFP-T, or a "Mediator."

    I'm also reading through the description and boy is this thing accurate. Just the first two paragraphs summarizes me up near perfectly:

    Spoiler

    Although they may seem quiet or unassuming, Mediators (INFPs) have vibrant, passionate inner lives. Creative and imaginative, they happily lose themselves in daydreams, inventing all sorts of stories and conversations in their minds. These personalities are known for their sensitivity – Mediators can have profound emotional responses to music, art, nature, and the people around them.

    Idealistic and empathetic, Mediators long for deep, soulful relationships, and they feel called to help others. But because this personality type makes up such a small portion of the population, Mediators may sometimes feel lonely or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that make them unique.

    And then this:

    Spoiler

    Introspective to the core, they’re exquisitely attuned to their own thoughts and feelings, but they yearn to understand the people around them as well.

    And then this:

    Spoiler

    Few things make Mediators more uneasy than pretending to be someone they aren’t. With their sensitivity and their commitment to authenticity, people with this personality type tend to crave opportunities for creative self-expression.

    Heck, they even had a quote; and it was Tolkien!

    Spoiler

    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.

      PSA- this test was developed by a mother and her daughter (I can't remember what they did for a living) and there is no scientific backing for any of this stuff, just their own ideas and stuff. I just want to mention this because it is one of the most popular personality tests out there and... yeah, it's just not legit. And you have to pay $50 to take the actual MBTI, so I don't know how the 16 Personalities version of the test varies from the actual thing.

      I'm either an INFJ or an INFP, but I took it so many times I was able to manipulate the results to whatever I felt fit me the best. Don't judge me and my middle school obsessions. :ph34r:

      Spoiler

      When I first took it and got INFJ I thought that explained why I always felt like I didn't fit in with other people, but turns out that was just being on the autism spectrum. :D

      I know a lot of people give it crap for it not being scientific but personally I think that could make it better. :P But 90% of people that take it get an accurate result- at least 90% if the people I know- so I think it works.

      (Also, Tesh, I’m not saying you’re giving it crap, just saying it as a general statement.)

      I just know some people who have taken the results a bit too seriously, and that's caused them some issues, so I just... want to point it out. Just make sure the results you get don't affect your behavior, if that makes sense. Don't feel like you need to fit with the description. 

      I find this really interesting but I'll stop talking about it before I come off as criticizing people who take it for fun. :ph34r:

      We're going to take a bunch of personality tests second semester in psych and then talk about them and I'm really excited for it. I find stuff like this fascinating.
