According to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) I am INFJ ...?

The best way to understand what makes your four-letter type what it is is to learn about cognitive functions. MBTI is based on the work of Carl Jung. Each personality type spends a lifetime developing four out of the eight cognitive functions.

Two of the functions you use are introverted, two are extroverted, two are perceiving, and two are judging. Introverted and extroverted functions alternate, while perceiving and judging functions book/bookend one another (JPPJ or PJJP). You spend a certain amount of your lifetime developing each of your functions: Dominant function - birth to 13 years Auxiliary function - 13 to 25 years Tertiary function - 25 to 50 years Inferior function - 50 years to death These periods of development vary from person to person.

In some cases, it may be possible to tell a child's personality before they exit elementary school. After all, you only need the first two functions to know what your personality type is. There are eight functions.

They are... Perceiving functions: Introverted iNtuition (Ni) Extroverted iNtuition (Ne) Introverted Sensing (Si) Extroverted Sensing (Se) Judging functions: Introverted Feeling (Fi) Extroverted Feeling (Fe) Introverted Thinking (Ti) Extroverted Thinking (Te) Your dominant function determines whether you are an introvert or an extrovert. Your most developed extroverted function determines whether you are a Judger or Perceiver. The INFJ's functions are Ni, Fe, Ti, Se.

Ni and Se are complements; both perceiving functions, but they are opposite in both their focus and their methods. Likewise, Fe and Ti are complements; both judging functions, but opposite in both focus and application. These are the four functions an INFJ spends their life developing.

The remaining four functions, Ne, Fi, Te, Si, are called "shadow functions," and are sort of like your fine china. You use them, but only for rare, special occasions. And you prefer to use them in the order listed (meaning you rarely use Si at all, and in fact it often trips you up when you do use it).

If you know your dominant function is Ni, then you know you are an introverted, intuitive judger. If you know your dominant AND auxiliary function, you know all four of your MBTI letters. So what do your functions do?

Well, as an INFJ, your functions: -Give you excellent focus, a clear goal for the future, and an uncanny instinct (Ni) -Make you empathetic, able to literally feel what others are feeling, while still preferring emotional stability (Fe) -Make you practical and analytical, so you still seem grounded even though you are an "idealist" temperament (Ti) -Give you a heightened sense of your surroundings, with an appreciation for and contentment with where you are right now (Se); you may also deny yourself simple pleasures because you consider pleasing yourself to be "weak" or "selfish.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
