INFJ types are introverted yet social. This makes me do a side by side comparison of the two results. Through doing this I was able to spot the similarities immediately. For example, my highest scoring strength was strength of self, which closely correlates to the “I” of the INFJ type of

(Literacynet, 2016) You could also correlate this to the feeling aspect of the INFJ results from our previous test. People with the social strength enjoy meeting new people, interacting with others, and like to speak and talk to people.

I tend to make people feel at ease with me, and can find some thread of commonality with people to start up a conversation. I can see why the previous test we took labeled INFJ as one of the most complex types. We are complicated in the respect that we want to be by ourselves and social at the same
