 A True INFP

• You’re among the most compassionate and emotionally sensitive of all types; an open-minded listener who seeks to understand others without judging them.

• You quietly push for what's important to you, and rarely give up, focusing deeply on your core values and devoting your life to chasing ideals.

• You're highly creative, free-spirited, and unconventional - continually considering new ideas and possibilities.

• When you were a teenager, you likely had a bit of a rebellious streak. Following traditions holds little appeal for you.

• You may be compassionate and have a nice sense of humor, yet you may be difficult to come to know and are sometimes disregarded by others. You'd prefer to express yourself in writing than in person.

• You probably have a limited number of close friends, and you can be rather amusing to them since you see the world in a unique and unusual way.

• You can be a kind and delicate leader (indirect and inclusive of others), but you don't confront people directly; instead, you work with them to complete the task.... you lead with your principles in mind and allow them to guide you. In most cases, you prefer to wait for a situation to resolve itself.

 Relationships

• Even though love is a significant commitment for you, and you're aware that it is not readily achieved, you are better at long-distance relationships than others.

•  You may struggle to explain your feelings to others...you may have so many emotions running around inside of you that you frequently forget to tell your loved ones how much you care.

• When a relationship goes wrong, you take it personally, but you generally don't tell many others about it.

 Recommendations

• Don't get so caught up in your dreams that you don't consider others' points of view.

• Don't try to please everyone and be so hesitant to criticize or share your viewpoints...your depth and views can sincerely help someone.

• Don't delay projects because you're holding out for perfection; perfection doesn't happen; no one and nothing matches your perfect ideals.
