thanks blythe and annie for directing me to the jung test. (the cheap rip-off of the myers briggs test.)
Me.
INFP. The Questor: Introverted. Intuitive. Feeling. Perceiving. 4.4% of the population.
It says I am (it's a long list, but fairly comical):
creative, smart, idealist, loner, attracted to sad things, disorganized, avoidant, can be overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings, prone to quitting, prone to feelings of loneliness, ambivalent of the rules, solitary, daydreams about people to maintain a sense of closeness, focus on fantasies, acts without planning, low self confidence, emotionally moody, can feel defective, prone to lateness, likes esoteric things, wounded at the core, feels shame, frequently losing things, prone to sadness, prone to dreaming about a rescuer, disorderly, observer, easily distracted, does not like crowds, can act without thinking, private, can feel uncomfortable around others, familiar with the darkside, hermit, more likely to support marijuana legalization, can sabotage self, likes the rain, sometimes can't control fearful thoughts, prone to crying, prone to regret, attracted to the counter culture, can be submissive, prone to feeling discouraged, frequently second guesses self, not punctual, not always prepared, can feel victimized, prone to confusion, prone to irresponsibility, can be pessimistic.
wow. evidently, i'm really depressing. awesome. you missed one, jung...sarcastic.
my favored careers include (the ones i dream of doing):
poet, painter, freelance artist, musician, writer, art therapist, teacher (art, music, drama), songwriter, art historian, library assistant, composer, work in the perfoming arts, art curator, playwrite, bookseller, cartoonist, video editor, photographer, philosopher, record store owner, digital artist, cinematographer, costume designer, film producer, philosophy professor, librarian, music therapist, enviromentalist, movie director, activist, bookstore owner, filmmaker
my dreaded careers include (the ones i'm actually doing):
business professional, manager, executive, administrator, business owner, supervisor, office manager, business analyst, financial analyst, public relations manager, ceo, executive assistant, judge, event coordinator, lawyer, office worker
i don't know, jung. i don't think you and your test totally pegged me. or maybe i answered the questions wrong. because i LOVE my life. and i LOVE my jobs. really love them. and, though i am familiar and comfortable in the darkside (and i pretty much fit all of your helpful little descriptions), i'm quite enjoying the lighter side as well. so, maybe i break the mold?
and blythe, in response to your question, i would abso-stinking-lutely love to hang out soon. (take that, jung.)
Merry Christmas 2018

my blog lives again!
wow
we're the same thing
wierd
Lou - um, isn't the Jung you are referring to THE Carl Jung of psychology lore? And, didn't he actually come before the Myers-Briggs people? And, didn't they actually use his work to develop theirs?
i think so.
with that said, be your most INFP self and celebrate that!
una, you're right. i shouldn't have used Jung's name. this is definitely not Carl Jung's test. the results, in fact, are so off that i didn't even draw the line to the original Jung. my bad.
whoever put this together is the one i'm irritated with.
