About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Having had cause to completely re-assess my life in recent times, I have come to learn an awful lot about myself that I did not realise before. Accordingly, I have come to realise who I am and what I am about through various methods. I have learnt that people view me as a surprising individual who is usually the complete opposite fo what they initially expect. So, if you add me as a friend and talk to me, you will likely find that you will learn a great deal about yourself as well as me.

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.
INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.
But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.
Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.
INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.
In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not.
The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.

My Interests

Literature. I absolutely adore creative writing and do a lot of it myself. Have even been published a few times. Just looking for that elusive big break for my form of creation. Love, sport, music and am open-minded about anything and everything

I'd like to meet:

I just like to get to know interesting people that share my passion for life. They may come from all walks of life. I don't go by what other people may see, I prefer to find out for myself. Everyone has a story to tell, often that story is very surprising.

Music:

Anything from classical to heavy metal (though I draw a line at thrash/death metal et al). My favourite bands are Hawkwind, Marillion, IQ and Rush.However, I also enjoy the likes of Steve Hillage, Evanescence, Gong, Black Sabbath, Pallas, King Crimson, Deep Purple, Cat Stephens, Dream Theater, The Doors, Joe Satriani, Marilyn Manson, Motorhead, MC5, Ozric Tentacles etc etcSince everyone seems to be so interested, my favourite musicians are as follows:Guitar - Steve Hillage, Robert Fripp, Huw Lloyd-Langton,Bass - Ian Kilmister (Lemmy), Geddy Lee, Alan Davey,Keyboards - Tim Blake, Richard Wright, Martin OrfordDrums - Carl Palmer, Neil Peart,Vocalist - Joe Perry,Lyricist - Derek William Dick (Fish), Robert Calvert, Pete Nicholls, Amy Lee

Movies:

The Titfield Thunderbolt, Gladiator, The Green Mile

Television:

Bottom, BlackAdder, Time Gentlemen Please, Red Dwarf, Father Ted. Other than these programmes, I will most often be found watching Rugby or one of the Science/History Channels

Books:

Magician by Raymond E Feist

Heroes:

I've never been prone to hero worship, but I do have to admit that the person whose words have had the most profound effect on me are those of Derek William Dick (more commonly known as Fish - from Marillion). The words that this man produces are just awesome. The more you listen to the words to each of the songs he has done both with Marillion and as a solo artist, the more you become entranced by them and see deeper, hidden meanings. I think it is fair to say that he inspired me to put pen to paper myself (yep - it's his fault LOL).
