I try not to box myself into any one role in life. I am a brother to some, uncle, son, sometimes son of a b$tch depending on who you ask, seeker,...

INFJs direct their energy towards the inner world of thoughts and emotions. They use their imagination to come up with new ideas, possibilities and insights, especially in relation to people and important beliefs. They are often good at developing insight into people, though it can often remain unexpressed.
What makes an INFJ tick?
The Dominant function is the perceptive one of iNtuition. Characteristics associated with this function include:
1. Likes looking at information from a global viewpoint, spotting patterns and relationships, that lead to an understanding of the key issues
2. Focuses more on possibilities for the future than the here-and-now
3. Enjoys change, challenge, and variety
The perceptive iNtuition function is introverted. That is, iNtuition is used primarily to govern the inner world of thoughts and emotions. The INFJ will therefore:
1. Seek to develop a understanding of how the world is, or can be
2. Seek to understand the patterns underlying his/her observations
3. Be strategic in nature, wanting to establish a clear vision towards which the INFJ is working
4. Not involve others in the development of that vision
The iNtuition function is primarily supported by extraverted Feeling judgement, That is, Feeling judgement is used primarily to manage the outer world of actions and spoken words. This will modify the way that the iNtuition is directed, by:
1. focusing the (inner world) iNtuition on ideas and possibilities that relate to people
2. expressing appreciation for the contributions of others, particularly where they have done or said something that supports the INFJ's ideals
3. making decisions on the basis of values that support the INFJ's understanding of the world, and conform to his/her vision.
The classic temperament of an INFJ is Apollonian, or Choleric, for whom a basic driving force is the search for meaning or purpose.
Recognising Stress
As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural style, so the INFJ will behave more according to type when under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the INFJ might:
1. find a place of solitude in which to think and work
2. tell everyone else how well they are coping
3. try to solve the long term problem, and neglect the short term
4. make errors of fact, or ignore routine matters that might nevertheless be essential
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the INFJ's shadow may appear - a negative form of ESTP. Example characteristics are:
1. acting very impulsively, making decisions without thinking them through
2. doing things to excess - e.g.: eating, drinking or exercising
3. being critical of others, and finding fault with almost everything
4. being preoccupied about unimportant details and doing things that have no meaning
5. acting in a very materialistic and selfish way
6. cutting corners, breaking the rules, and even contradicting the INFJ's own values
The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. The INFJ may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.

Here is a Cut Copy Paste from the www.Keirsey.com on type INFJ
Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.
Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.
Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ)

A few more quotes about INFJ people in love, dating, and the dating game
"Idealists hope to find a soulmate through the dating game. Because of their ability to see good in others, they can have a tendency to see more than is really there. That can lead them into or cause them to stay in harmful relationships. Idealists are often attracted to causes which can help them find dates but can also alienate them from otherwise great potential dates."
Taken from: PersonalityZONE @ keirsey.com
"Idealist men find it relatively easy to express tender feelings, sympathize with others, and have female friends. Some even enjoy shopping. Many people find this intensely appealing while others view them as effeminate.
Idealist men are the most likely to provide romantic dates, an empathetic listening ear, and kindness. People are likely to appreciate their ability to simply listen without trying to solve problems although they are likely to need to share the stage with the Idealist man who also wants to be heard. Along with sensitivity, Idealists are the most likely type of man to be moody, responding to the moods of those around them."
