Have you ever heard of the "Myers Briggs type indicator"? It is actually the most widely used psychological test in the world. Developed by British author Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, this test is in fact an adaptation of the theory of psychological types produced by Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss thinker and psychiatrist at the origin of analytic psychology. The latter allows you to situate yourself among 16 types of personalities and can therefore help you get to know you better in order to better guide you or improve your relations with others. The rarest being the INFJ type is an introverted, intuitive, sensitive and judgmental character. Here are 10 signs that you have this type of personality.
Fascinated by Carl Gustav Jung's theory of psychological types, Katharine and Isabel quickly realized that this analysis of characters in literature could be applied in the real world. Thus, during the Second World War, mother and daughter began to develop an indicator to help understand individual differences. The goal is to help people understand each other so that they can choose career plans that are better adapted to their personalities and lead a healthier and happier life.
The 16 personality types are designated by a combination of 4 letters. For example ESTJ for extraversion (E), detection (S), Thinking (T) and judgment (J) or INFP for introversion (I), intuition (N), feeling (F), perception (P). Qualified as idealists, persons belonging to the INFJ type are sensitive with high moral standards and strong ambitions. Although it is best to take the test to find out your exact type of personality, here are 10 signs that you could belong to this rare category of people.
