Hiya.
So I went to this 'supervisor day away' training thing at work. I usually hate meetings, but this one was specifically geared towards diffusing a lot of the petty backstabbing that has been going on behind the scenes, something I entirely support. Anything that diffuses conflict....
So anyway, they make us take this 'Myers-Briggs' test thing. Usually I scoff at these 'tests'. and usually break them unintentionally. I just don't fit the mold usually. Until this one. It probably comes as no surprise (since I'm posting here after all :laughing
that I ended up being an INFP.
I barely heard the rest of the meeting. They handed us this big packet on our respective types. I couldn't stop reading it. I mean, there it was, this description that actually fit me more or less, you know? It kind of threw me for a loop, truth be told. I have never met anyone who was even remotely wired like me, and yet here was this paper detailing all these aspects of this INFP character profile .... which fit like a glove. Hell, it even mentioned Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, and I had always loved that strip because it totally reminded me of myself as a little kid.
So when I got home, I researched the heck out of this test. I took it another time. Still an INFP. Then I sort of stumbled across this forum.
Post after post after post rang true. The entire forum is caring, well written, and very deep. The kinds of questions, the odd quirks, the difficulties relating to people, finding love, finding your way, the fears, the anxieties ... all of it read like a road map of my life. I was speechless.
I have to say, I think finding this place might have just changed me a bit. I've read through about 100 pages of posts, and something sort of clicked in me, like letting go of a breath that you have been holding a long time.
For the first time in my life, I realize that there really are other people wired like me out there.
So hello there people like me :happy:
