Seriously, I get more and more frustrated! I am not INFP and I am not INFJ, but I have to be one of the two! I need to stop reading about this, because I'm getting more and more confused!
At first I thought I am INFP, then I thought I'm INFJ and now I don't know anymore! The INFP profile fits me, except that I am not laid back, free spirited and open. I am structured, always plan ahead and I like closure. I want to know exactly how things work and what's expected of me.
On the other hand (and it's difficult to explain in english, it's not my first language), I am not THAT meticulous and rigid. I am a LITTLE bit laid back, but only with family, never with other people. And then it's only with little things. I never let go of my routine with my children for instance, but I will go to bed with make up on if I'm too tired to wash my face. My mother is also INFP or INFJ, but she will never let ANYTHING go! It doesn't matter if it's 12pm and she is deathly tired, she will still wash her make up off, brush her teeth etc etc. I hope this example makes sense!!
It's so complex and difficult to explain! I need to mention better examples, but I don't have time (as usual) to really sit down and do what I want, being a mom of 3 toddlers.
MBTI is putting people in boxes, and you can't put people in boxes! (Although I wish you could!). I am mostly Melancholic, with about an even amount of Choleric and Sanguine and very little Plegmatic. Can someone please explain MBTI vs the 4 temperaments??? I want to know how it works and I don't find satisfactory answers on the Net.
It would be much appretiated!!
