Hey guys! I retook the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, which I hadn’t taken since high school, and my results were different! I don’t remember exactly what my personality type was back then, but I remember it told me I was an extrovert, which I related to at the time. Now I’m an INFJ-A, and the summary describes me to a T.
The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.
Advocates tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.
Advocates indeed share a unique combination of traits: though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – Advocates will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. Egalitarianism and karma are very attractive ideas to Advocates, and they tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants.
Advocates find it easy to make connections with others, and have a talent for warm, sensitive language, speaking in human terms, rather than with pure logic and fact. It makes sense that their friends and colleagues will come to think of them as quiet Extraverted types, but they would all do well to remember that Advocates need time alone to decompress and recharge, and to not become too alarmed when they suddenly withdraw. Advocates take great care of other’s feelings, and they expect the favor to be returned – sometimes that means giving them the space they need for a few days.
Take the test and comment below with what you get! I’m curious

I had a boyfriend ask me to take this test…needless to say he’s no longer my boyfriend as he’s a sociopath, haha! Seriously the description of his personality linked with controlling behavior was crazy! My friends call him Dexter.

You know, for all they say that INFJs are rare, I seem to know a disproportionate number of them. Perhaps we attract each other.

I’m an INTP and I don’t think I’ve met a single INFJ. Although, I hear you are supposed to be the rarest type.
