I don't belong to a "religion" though most of you would object to this. I am close to God and I try listen and obey His Word. It's hard to follow Him, and I fail at it all the time, but I still try. I'm proud of my relationship with God and I'm serious when it comes to Him. I am a Sophomore at USC studying Anthropology and Art. I havn't decided on Forensic Anthro or Archeology yet; I hate Bio, so you can see how logical my dilemma is... Anyhow. My greatest aspiration is to leave it all behind and travel the world. I know its not the most practical of life goals, but I just can't see myself being happy doing anything else. I'm not going to college to earn six figures a year, and I won't settle for being a suit who goes home to a husband, 2 kids, a dog and a three story home everynight. I want to see the world, to experience as much as I can before it's gone. I've traveled the United States my entire life, but I've only ever been out of country once. You can imagine the amount of tension building up inside from the need to just get up and leave. I guess I'm not a very practical person, but I do approach things logically, and sometimes that can get in the way of an imaginative license. I'm very passionate, this meaning that when I feel an emotion, I feel it to its fullest; this can prove detrimental and has caused many a controversy within myself and with others. I have a terrible temper and I often speak my mind without considering its consequences. Again, this brings up complications in everyday life. I'm simple, and it doesnt take much to make me happy, but I do like surprises and the occasional luxury. My family and friends are the most important things to me, and I adore them. I'm sometimes loyal to a fault, and I do things just to make sure everyone is happy; lately I've been trying to take a more selfish route and think of myself, and its proven to be quite beneficial...especially to those who cant stand to be around me very long. I love movies. Some call my tastes "oldfashioned" and "abstract", but I try to appreiciate things that tend to be overlooked. I read for fun. Yes, I am the cliche they call "the book worm". My imagination gets the best of me and I cant seem to neglect those other worlds that live between the black and white pages. I'm not the perfect person, but I hope that others can look beyond my faults and appreciate who I am and who I'm becoming.Traits of my Personlaity:INFJIntroverted intuitives, INFJs enjoy a greater clarity of perception of inner, unconscious processes than all but their INTJ cousins. Just as SP types commune with the object and "live in the here and now" of the physical world, INFJs readily grasp the hidden psychological stimuli behind the more observable dynamics of behavior and affect. Their amazing ability to deduce the inner workings of the mind, will and emotions of others gives INFJs their reputation as prophets and seers. Unlike the confining, routinizing nature of introverted sensing, introverted intuition frees this type to act insightfully and spontaneously as unique solutions arise on an event by event basis.Extraverted Feeling:Extraverted feeling, the auxiliary deciding function, expresses a range of emotion and opinions of, for and about people. INFJs, like many other FJ types, find themselves caught between the desire to express their wealth of feelings and moral conclusions about the actions and attitudes of others, and the awareness of the consequences of unbridled candor. Some vent the attending emotions in private, to trusted allies. Such confidants are chosen with care, for INFJs are well aware of the treachery that can reside in the hearts of mortals. This particular combination of introverted intuition and extraverted feeling provides INFJs with the raw material from which perceptive counselors are shaped.Introverted Thinking:The INFJ's thinking is introverted, turned toward the subject. Perhaps it is when the INFJ's thinking function is operative that he is most aloof. A comrade might surmise that such detachment signals a disillusionment, that she has also been found lacking by the sardonic eye of this one who plumbs the depths of the human spirit. Experience suggests that such distancing is merely an indication that the seer is hard at work and focusing energy into this less efficient tertiary function.Extraverted Sensing:INFJs are twice blessed with clarity of vision, both internal and external. Just as they possess inner vision which is drawn to the forms of the unconscious, they also have external sensing perception which readily takes hold of worldly objects. Sensing, however, is the weakest of the INFJ's arsenal and the most vulnerable. INFJs, like their fellow intuitives, may be so absorbed in intuitive perceiving that they become oblivious to physical reality. The INFJ under stress may fall prey to various forms of immediate gratification. Awareness of extraverted sensing is probably the source of the "SP wannabe" side of INFJs. Many yearn to live spontaneously; it's not uncommon for INFJ actors to take on an SP (often ESTP) role.
