why living infj?

in my pursuit of self learning and therapy over the past few years i discovered the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory (source: MBTI) which was developed in the 40s and 50s.  it is a simple testthat many studies have discounted as not being accurate.  that said, i took it and did a lot of reading to see where i fit in the spectrum.

i have taken this test along with StrengthsFinder 2.0 to better understand why i approach things the way i do. the MBTI said i was an infj and i believe that this simple test pegged me fairly accurately.

"The INFJ personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As Diplomats (NF), they have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact." (source: http://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality)
it has been a bumping ugly few years, but i do think i am in a better place now. this blog will be my creative outlet to write about things that interest me. the only guarantee i can make is it will probably be all over the map.
