What does Kerryn do when she's bored and on the net?

Do research of course!

Believe it or not, researching is actually addictive. This time, though, I researched on my personality type(INFP) and came up with pretty interesting results...

You don't have to read this. I'm just putting it here for my own reference, what reference I don't know!

1. INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.

SO TRUE!!! People assume I haven't been thinking about my life, but I HAVE(every day), and I still don't know what I want to do with it.

2. INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".

True once more. I rarely do extensive research for school projects, but when I was searching on my ancestry, I had more persistence in doing it than I ever had for my school projects. And yes, if you don't offend me, I won't bother you. But if you choose to violate one of my values(lets see, flexibility and acceptance ranks tops) like my CCA, then you bet I'll fight back.

3. The INFP does not devote their intense feelings towards just anyone, and are relatively reserved about expressing their inner-most feelings. They reserve their deepest love and caring for a select few who are closest to them. With Introverted Feeling dominating their personality, they're very sensitive and in-tune with people's feelings, and feel genuine concern and caring for others. Slow to trust others and cautious in the beginning of a relationship, an INFP will be fiercely loyal once they are committed.

Seems like how I make friends! Which is why I'm extremely fussy in friendships and why I take longer than most to forge a REAL friendship.

4. INFPs are warm and caring individuals who highly value authenticity and depth in their personal relationships. They are usually quite perceptive about other people's feelings and motives, and are consequently able to get along with all sorts of different people. However, the INFP will keep their true selves reserved from others except for a select few, with whom they will form close and lasting friendships.

Aha, yes! I don't have trouble getting along with an of my classmates(who, I have to say, are extremely different from me) but I'm not close to any of them either. Oh, and that explains why I can't stand those act cute, act cool people!

5. They lead with their values in mind, and these guide them. They prefer not to take a hands-on approach with others but to allow them to achieve in independent ways. They are facilitative rather than directive.

Which is why I have never been able to get along with my CCA. I mean, independence and standarisation are worlds apart!

6. INFPs have a gift for interpreting symbols, as well as creating them, and thus often write in lyric fashion.

Wait a minute, I write in lyric fashion? What does that even mean?

7. They do not like following all the rules and regulations, but they are not overtly rebellious. They seek to get things done in their own style.

Yeah, I rebel, silently!

8. Have a general advantage in foreign language learning.

What??? Come on, I SUCK at German.

9. INFPs show interest in a varied range of the unusual and original.

Yes! Come on, wouldn't the world be boring if there wasn't originality?

10. They may unexpectedly disrupt a conversation by commenting in such a way as to give the impression that they are not following the subject. This can confuse or puzzle others.

Yes, so my friends, if I ever give a random comment, I am actually still listening to you! I'm an auditory learner after all!

11. When an INFP supports a particular project or goal, they can get an extraordinary amount of work done in a short time. On the other hand, INFPs tend to procrastinate and are dissatisfied by detailed work not related to one of their important values.

Very true, even I'm sometimes surprised at my speed! Don't laugh, you haven't seem me work before!

Basically, I'm guessing it means that we're an unconventional, unstereotyped, misunderstood lot(only about 1-2% of the population forms INFPs). Oh well, doesn't bother me. In fact, I like it that way!
