Rummaging deeper, I hit upon CS Joseph’s lecture entitled “Who are the INFJs”, a hot critique of the type as anything but special unicorns. I found the popular sites and YouTube videos one would expect, but they seemed inconsistent and superficial, nothing more than popular, regurgitated opinion.

The lingering doubt about my type was a predicament, however, and so I turned to an online search for answers. Not until recently in considering a much-needed change in direction did I turn to personality type again to guide some decisions. Typology thus became, more or less, a hobby. I also noticed a growing skepticism with typology and its practical application in recruiting, team-building, etc. I say most because some tests returned INFP, an outcome which caused me to doubt my original result and to question the validity of typology itself. My level of interest has varied since then, but I have tried to stay current with the topic through books, blogs and online personality tests, most of which also resulted in INFJ.

Ultimately, I found a job through independent networking, yet that initial experience with MBTI began a long-term affinity for typology, psychology, and all things INFJ. The professional placement firm I had engaged administered the official MBTI Instrument as part of their process to match candidates with positions. Several years ago, I was first tested for personality type.
