Hmm...interesting. I answered an online test, a personality test, because I'm a sucker for those kind of tests. Aand what do I get? Well according to Jung, I'm INFP-Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Perceiving. What does that mean? It means, err, you can read the description below. But if you are tl;dr, let me sum it up for you
I don't know how true this is, and I don't even like Belle! (My favourite Disney princess is Mulan)
But if you want to read the looooooooooooooong version of it, here we go
INFP Description
- INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates (as with Anne of Green Gables's "bookcase girlfriend"--her own reflection) and whose stuffed animals come to life like the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse.
- INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity.
- Their extreme depth of feeling is often hidden, even from themselves, until circumstances evoke an impassioned response:
- Of course, not all of life is rosy, and INFPs are not exempt from the same disappointments and frustrations common to humanity. As INTPs tend to have a sense of failed competence, INFPs struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection, e.g., performance of duty for the greater cause. An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil. Luke Skywalker in Star Wars depicts this conflict in his struggle between the two sides of "The Force." Although the dark side must be reckoned with, the INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs.
- Some INFPs have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms. Brendan Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet is one example of this "de-jargoning" talent in action.
(INFP stands
for Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving and represents
individual's preferences in four dimensions characterising personality
type, according to Jung's and Briggs Myers' theories of personality
type.)
Functional Analysis Of The INFP
Introverted Feeling
INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of introverted Feeling.
Being inward-turning, the natural attraction is away from world and toward
essence and ideal. This introversion of dominant Feeling, receiving its
data from extraverted intuition, must be the source of the quixotic nature
of these usually gentle beings. Feeling is caught in the approach-
avoidance bind between concern both for people and for All Creatures Great
and Small, and a psycho-magnetic repulsion from the same. The "object,"
be it homo sapiens or a mere representation of an organism, is valued
only to the degree that the object contains some measure of the inner
Essence or greater Good. Doing a good deed, for example, may provide
intrinsic satisfaction which is only secondary to the greater good of
striking a blow against Man's Inhumanity to Mankind.
Extraverted iNtuition
Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of
Feeling. What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good
will. Intuition spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens
pattern perception. It combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and
gives rise to unusual skill in both character development and fluency with
language--a sound basis for the development of literary facility. If
INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs would be verbal artists.
Introverted Sensing
Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in
the third position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent-
mindedness and other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people
awareness provides a balancing, mitigating effect. This introverted
Sensing is somewhat categorical, a subdued version of SJ sensing. In the
third position, however, it is easily overridden by the stronger functions.
Extraverted Thinking
The INFP may turn to inferior extraverted Thinking for help in focusing
on externals and for closure. INFPs can even masquerade in their ESTJ
business suit, but not without expending considerable energy. The
inferior, problematic nature of Extraverted Thinking is its lack of
context and proportion. Single impersonal facts may loom large or attain
higher priority than more salient principles which are all but overlooked.
