I'm an INFJ...
"INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types."
Yep.
"INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. "
Well, I don't know about "knowing" I'm right... But otherwise, yep, especially the penultimate sentence...
"INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive."
I do sometimes feel that I have some form or psychic ability, however, I do not believe in it (nor disbelieve) I am open to it, but agnostic at the moment, until I have done more research... I am however, not secretive, generally... But that's mostly to do with the fact I believe it is best to be open and honest with people, which fits in with another section further down...
"the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress."
That could not be any more accurate! It is exact!!
"Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals."
I do not ignore other people's opinions, I listen and analyse them to see if they meet with facts, if they do I will alter my way of thinking, if not I disregard them... So not quite right there... But I am a perfectionist, always after truth.. And I do have high expectations and never compromise on my ideals...
"INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective."
Yep.
Pretty accurate, then...

I took it twice, well over twenty years ago. One result was INFP, and the other INTP, if I recall correctly. Apparently, I was all mixed up in the thinky-feely department back then. It may be time to take it again. Back in my day, it was a paper-and-pencil thing. Is there an online version now?

ISFP here too (though sometimes I score INFP which is such an ISFP thing). This statement describes me right on: "The ISFP is not likely to have much patience or tolerance for those who are strongly Judging. ISFPs celebrate their own uniqueness, as well as everybody else's, and don't appreciate being judged harshly for their differences."
Hmmm
I always scored as an INFP every time I've taken the test, and it definitely seems to fit best.

I'm an INFJ, everything I've read about it defines me I think.

Whenever I'd take a test it would come up ISTP, which on a basic level sounds like me. Further research suggested, oddly enough, ENFP. Sounded crazy at first, but does make a lot of sense.
Apparently, introversion doesn't have anything to do with being shy in this case. It's just where you get your energy.
