(the above were the points that actually applied to me, although the others were far from false, too).
The INFP is a special, sensitive individual who needs a career which is more than a job. The INFP needs to feel that everything they do in their lives is in accordance with their strongly-felt value systems, and is moving them and/or others in a positive, growth-oriented direction.
They are driven to do something meaningful and purposeful with their lives. The INFP will be happiest in careers which allow them to live their daily lives in accordance with their values, and which work towards the greater good of humanity. It's worth mentioning that nearly all of the truly great writers in the world have been INFPs. (Bold added).'
Close, although it was a pleasant suprise to see a scheme where a strong value system did not lead to the assumption that one is religious and/or conservative. INTP (given the 60-40 split) was quite close, too. Edit: INTP, The Observer, from the combined mode of the socionics link.
I have always dreamed of helping the world in some way, although how I am meant to do that when I can barely manage to attempt mundane tasks is beyond me
.
At least I have another two or three years in which to determine what my future holds.
