Hello All,

I am new here at Personality Cafe. I thought this would be a great place to start. I took a personality test late last year and my results came out ISTJ. Then, I took another one earlier this year and found that I was an INFJ. I found the latter to be more fitting after a little research. But I just want to double check. I'm going to list some things about me and you tell me what you think.

-My mind is so exact. For instance, if someone tells me to do something, I have to do it exactly how they want it. If they give me vague instructions, I freak out and worry if I am doing it wrong.
-I hate when people are hypocrites. :angry:
-I also hate injustice; I just want life to be fair and can't stand when it isn't.
-I have an obsessive nature. For example, when I saw Hunger Games, I loved it so so much that I just got such an urge to read the books so I bought the first one and I'm reading it now. I want to be well-versed in it for the next movie.
-I have a hard time explaining things. Especially my feelings. Bad news for me because I want to be a teacher. :tongue:
-I love old things. I've always had a love for old things.
-I daydream a lot and think that life is a movie. It's quite annoying.
-I talk to myself a lot.
-I love music. I even play guitar and try to learn and write songs.
-I like to prove people wrong.
-I'm stubborn.
-Sometimes I feel so alone in the world. Like, I feel like there is no one out there, not even my husband, who is similar to me.
-I have impressive memory 80% of the time.
-I periodically feel trapped in life. The feeling is like "This is it? This is all I am alive for? I'd rather be somewhere beyond earth." Kinda depressing when that happens. :sad:
-Sometimes I cannot take a joke because I don't know if a person is serious or not.
-I'm not a very outgoing person; I have a hard time just walking up to someone and having a conversation with them. If I do, the conversation is quite painful because I try to think on my feet of something interesting to say to keep the ball moving.
-I make lists all the time. Lists about anything. They're so fun! :laughing:
-I'm always the mom of my friend group making sure people have rides, making sure people get home safe, making sure everyone is taken care of, etc.
-I'm not a big talker but I am an excellent listiner.
-After being around people for a long time, I like to take some moments to myself to become peaceful. Otherwise, I'll get cranky.
-It's hard for me to be mad at someone because I don't want them to be mad at me because I'm mad at them.
-I HATE confrontation.
-I'm a Scorpio.

I think that's a long enough list. Told you I like making lists. :wink: Anyways, you tell me: am I INFJ material?

I think you're neither of those thing, I think you are ISFJ, although not the reasons why, my mom is also ISFJ, and she's about as momlike as moms get. Here are the real reasons:

My mind is so exact. For instance, if someone tells me to do something, I have to do it exactly how they want it. If they give me vague instructions, I freak out and worry if I am doing it wrong.

This points to Si over Ni, Ni would just remember the gist of what the person said, but might miss a few important things and get done faster, Si would be like you and do exactly what was said, maybe taking longer, but getting everything right.

I hate when people are hypocrites.

this also points to xSxJ (Si) as when someone is a hypocrite, they are conflicting information that you already know, which you said you hate when people do that, so, by extension, you would hate that people are challenging your memoires.

I have a hard time explaining things. Especially my feelings. Bad news for me because I want to be a teacher.

This is what pushed me to ISFJ, I've already stated that you're more Si than Ni (xsxj to xnxj), but a Te as opposed to an Fe would have no problem explaining whatever in a way that people could understand, and would most likely not speak of emotions to others.

I'm always the mom of my friend group making sure people have rides, making sure people get home safe, making sure everyone is taken care of, etc.

Big Fe pointer, Fe is all about connections, whats the best decision for the group, are these people for real, etc.

I'm a Scorpio.

Does not correlate with MBTI at all, otherwise there would only be 12 different personality types.

Contradiction!

-I'm a Scorpio.

I'm a Libra... which means absolutely nothing.

I doubt you are an INFJ; I'd personally be looking at ISXJ. Have you attempted the cognitive functions test yet?

You're most likely an ISFJ. You've got the highly detailed internal system. Your feelings aren't always as concerned, because a lot of the Fe leans more toward how others are feeling and that is primarily what you're concerned with.

Even from a short description you seem very much like an ISFJ. Enough so that I'm confident in saying that's what you probably are.

S, more specifically Si
-I hate when people are hypocrites. :angry:
Well hypocrites annoy most people but in my experience xSFJ's tend to have the biggest kneejerk reactions to them.
-I also hate injustice; I just want life to be fair and can't stand when it isn't.
IxFJ big time.
-I have an obsessive nature. For example, when I saw Hunger Games, I loved it so so much that I just got such an urge to read the books so I bought the first one and I'm reading it now. I want to be well-versed in it for the next movie.
Definately can see this being related to Si, and wanting to maintain the love you had when you first saw it.
-I love old things. I've always had a love for old things.
Si
-I daydream a lot and think that life is a movie. It's quite annoying.
-I like to prove people wrong.-I'm stubborn.
xSFJ thing big time
-Sometimes I feel so alone in the world. Like, I feel like there is no one out there, not even my husband, who is similar to me.
I
-I have impressive memory 80% of the time.
Si
-I periodically feel trapped in life. The feeling is like "This is it? This is all I am alive for? I'd rather be somewhere beyond earth." Kinda depressing when that happens. :sad:
Could see this being related to Si-Ti loop
-Sometimes I cannot take a joke because I don't know if a person is serious or not.
haha most ISFJ's I know personally have no idea when I'm messing with them either
-I'm not a very outgoing person
I
-I make lists all the time. Lists about anything. They're so fun! :laughing:
Si
-I'm always the mom of my friend group making sure people have rides, making sure people get home safe, making sure everyone is taken care of, etc.
xSFJ caregiver role
-I'm not a big talker but I am an excellent listiner.
Describes most ISFJ's I know.
-After being around people for a long time, I like to take some moments to myself to become peaceful. Otherwise, I'll get cranky.
I
-It's hard for me to be mad at someone because I don't want them to be mad at me because I'm mad at them.
ISFJ big time

ISFJ big time
