For me, the Myers-Briggs is more a general than specific tool. It's not that I need to know what my coworkers or family members "are" according to M-B -- but it's helpful to know that people are different in these ways...
I know I sound like an idiot, but really, it IS helpful. My family is a group of Js -- except one kid who's an extreme P. I thought there was something wrong with her. She'd always take 20 minutes choosing a piece of chocolate from a box of chocolates. She'd always agonize about every decision. And the rest of us would stand around tapping our foot going "decide already!". Realizing that she's just wired differently made me more patient with her.

My results seem strange:
E- 1%
S- 1%
F- 12%
P- 11%
The test said I was so marginal I actually fit into every category, and am almost neither extroverted or introverted. I don't feel "balanced" though, so ???
Anyone else get low numbers in all areas like me?
Didn't like the career suggestions for me though; acting, fashion designer, teacher, fitness trainer.... Im more like an overweight out of shape tomboy who has been mistaken for a lesbian.

So in your example, you are very certain you are an introvert. If you score was 'less' it would mean you are not as clear, and at an extreme that you might feel you fit both preferences. Your 100% score means you know your preference for introversion very clearly! Not that you are Super introverted!

Thanks for the insight, Jarp!

INTP
Introvert(100%) iNtuitive(88%) Thinking(62%) Perceiving(44%)
You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (100%)
You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (88%)
You have distinct preference of Thinking over Feeling (62%)
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (44%)
I see changes with aging. Both T and P percentages have dropped from the long-form MB-administered testing at work during the 80s. I had to take it 4 time then... ugh. Also, I has gone from 1% to 100%... probably due to more seclusion in retirement.

Nice to know that an online test knows me so well, LOL. Of course, my AH wouldn't agree with the communicative part, haha! Not so sure how much weight I put on these things because certain situations can always be interpreted differently depending on the circumstance.
It's fun to play around with it, though, while I sit here and eat lunch.

People with the INFJ personality type tend to be good listeners, compassionate and good at giving advice. Which is probably why I respond to threads and offer advice more than I ask for it.
INFJs also tend to be the most intuitive. We can understand a person and a situation with very little information beforehand. This is very accurate of my personality. I often get senses about people without really understanding why, and I'm pretty good at reading their intentions.
Our type also is the most likely to be "psychic" - which is not something I usually share with people, but I have had a lot of psychic events happen to me that actually shook me up a little because I didn't know what was happening. I tell these events to people I trust, because most people don't believe it and will accuse me of lying.
Just curious if any of the other INFJs have had any "intuitive" experiences. I hope I'm not the only freak

Do you confide with anyone about it? I wish I could talk about it more with people.

I've found that by opening up to new activities (reiki, crystals, past life regressions, etc.) I meet amazingly in-touch people & I learn so much. I say, "It's not that I just starting hearing voices in my head, I just started LISTENING to them!"
I also have a lot of prophetic dream activity.

I also have dreams that end up coming true in some way, shape, or form. I once had a dream my cousin got burned on the left side of his face from a clothes iron. A couple days later he was welding iron and burned his left arm.
I also had a dream about my XBF, who may or may not be in recovery. In the dream his counselor was telling me how great he is except for that one thing. That one thing happened to be a CPS investigation on him and a young girl. A couple weeks ago, his new gf's roommate got mad her friend had a new drinking buddy (my x) and called them in on the new gf's daughter. (Hope that made sense). I had the dream a few months ago. Yuck. As far as I've heard it's all clear (false report) but he and gf have to do random drug tests for a few weeks but I think because she has a custody case and then this.
My mom and grandma have it was well. My dad calls us witches.

Aurora -
Your experiences sound similar to mine. I used to feel odd when these things would happen but now I try to use my intuition to prepare myself for something about to happen or in determining whether to trust someone.
In the past I would get senses about people, but I would ignore them. After learning the hard way that my initial feeling was right, I trust my gut more.
As for people labeling me, I really don't care. I can't help the way that I am and I don't think that I should be ashamed of it. It makes sense that people don't understand it because even I don't understand it, but that doesn't make it bad.
Everyone has special abilities, that's what makes us individuals.
