That rain looks enchanting.

Such a beautiful smile in the rain.

Exceptional. An uplifting message in wonderful art. Great job.

A lovely piece.

Amazing picture :)cheered me up a bit

Beautifully painted work.

And I think I'm an INFJ myself... or something close to that. I'll have to find my papers from my Psychology class, when I found out what I was.

This is such a wonderful drawing. It makes me smile and feel calm. I wish I could hang it on my wall so I would see it every time! <3

How did you came to the conclusion you were that, though?

i've been taking personality tests for years, since i was 12, and I am almost 19 now, and I never found anything that matched who i was perfectly. Recently, I've had some self-realization but I couldn't figure out why I was so different from everyone else. I took a personality test recently, and this came up as my answer, and I got curious and I read everything about this personality type, and for the first time in 7 years there is something that explains me through and through, and i guess that's how I know!

and thank you... I thought i'd draw something for me to explain me. :)

Aye, I know what'cher gettin at mang. As an INTJ, myself (though I can be quite emotional, so I dunno... maybe 'part' INFJ? idk) I probably have a similar personality. ><; Before I could get pretty easily depressed, and I have indeed ideolized suicide many a time during my more depressive moment (NOT SAYIN you have too, js). But now it's like... eh, fuckit. Life's gonna roll on one way or another, no use prolonging misery. And shit. Haha.

My philosophical waxing aside, this pic's amazin :]] I love the colours, the general tone of the pic... all that haha <33 ^^

Wow. Love that picture, the lighting and the rain is so great.

Awwr. It's so pretty<3

It's beautiful No really, i've never seen anything like it! Very unique

Sooooo beautiful

That explanation is very interesting, but I don't know how much I'd believe that only 2% of the population is like that. I know that spoke true to myself significantly, and I would anticipate others to feel the same way. I really don't think it's a rare trait at all, I think most people are like that tbh.

Either way, I'm glad you found some uplift.

Oddly enough, a great deal of people are actually the exact opposite of INFJ, ESTP. They usually don't dwell on these types of internets though.

I'm not really familiar with the terminology. It just seems like one of those vague lists of details that classify you as something, but those traits can apply to almost anyone given their perception of themselves. Kind of like those other personality quizzes. It just seems like there's something missing from all of this to give it a little more legitimacy.

Where are these terms from? Where did they originate from?

They originated from Jung, your answers are here: http://www.infj.org/public/intrombti.html and you could also google the terms. :)

I'd like resources outside of that website, and I've been looking but abbreviations are hard to get clear results on, especially when I have no clue what I'm looking for.

The official site: http://www.myersbriggs.org/

AND the official source of the internets, wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-.....Type_Indicator

It is the psychological test that is the long running favorite of psychologists and the workforce (at least in the united states). I know I took the professional (and hella expensive) test it as part as my internship training. They use it to place people into teams that work well together. It has a few fallacies as a scientific quantification of a human personality, but it does a fairly decent job of getting a sketch of who someone is so clashes don't happen.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for!

Glad it was helpful! :) Personality theory and neuroscience are hobbies of mine. *dons meganerd glasses*

If you think about it, that's 1 in 50 people, and that's pretty believeable, IMO. You might know a lot of people like that because you hang out with them, but when you look at the whole picture and everyone in the world, it seems to make a little more sense. There are also 14 or so, or more, personality types. Those can take up 6%, 10%, etc. Hah, but these are my opinions and yours are yours. :)

Thanks! <3 i just needed to know I belonged here and I wasn't from somewhere else, hypothetically speaking!

The traits just seem way too vague to classify anyone as anything. What they're listing as tell-tale traits could very well be a very broad commonality between people. It just seems to be missing something.

I don't really want to dispute psychology, we both believe our own things, and I frankly needed closure that I was something from this planet.

Some people need more tangible answers than others. :P

It's not that I don't agree with you, it's that I'm not terribly fond of a theory calling out all my traits and classifying me into a group. I don't feel that this is as cookie cutter as it seems to be, there's never this clear of an answer for everybody... especially when they're trying to clump those people into one category.

It depends on what you believe. Before all this personality type stuff, I was into aura colors. I don't know, I was just one of those people who concluded with their own answers no matter how many were thrown at me.

nd I can understand where you're coming from, but I can't really explain it. I can only explain myself!

This may seem a little odd to ask, but would you ever suspect the search for "belonging" within these groups is something that draws you to them? I found this trait in myself, and this is what raises a suspicion about these personality tests. I mean, we've always known who we are and what we do, but what makes it feel so good to know there are others out there who are the same? How far will we go to see this connection, even if it may not be as strong as it seems to us? ... and how easy would it be for someone to take advantage of that?

I always feel a little on edge about things like this, forgive me if I seemed a little standoff-ish. I just feel that the moment you're comfortable in a group (or with a label) it leaves you vulnerable for someone to use it, or to use you. It's one of those "been there, done that, and never want to go back" scenarios for me.

Anyways wth, how did this end up so long. Sorry >.>
/ramble

I personally believe the only way you can understand others is to understand yourself. You are SOMETHING, no matter how much you want to fight it. In fact, if you always want to be different, you are labelled as a non-conformist. If you have an accent, you belong to a culture. If you dress a certain way, you fall under a certain category.

There is no escaping labels.

Labels are vulnerabilities, but they are also a gate for people who are similar to you to meet.

I can't really accurately answer any of your questions, we all have things that turn our gears. And don't worry! You're entitled to your opinion so don't feel like you've done anything wrong!

Labels may be existing and predefined, but they all have various interpretations given who is interpreting them. I know that I have a whole bunch of various traits that compile Who I Am, but they aren't all uniform with others who are like minded. We all have different quirks and traits, which makes generalizations a little bit difficult when getting into the nitty gritty.

I guess I like to believe that everyone is unique as much as they are similar. I find labels make it really hard to find a middle ground between the two.

considering there's 12 different personality types, 2% is not that weird.

You can see my comments above for my apprehension towards the percentage. Anything that hits the nail right on the head for me and then tries to tell me it's the "rarest of all" personality types just seems odd. I'm not rare, lol. I'm a dime a dozen.

I am seriously liking this new art style.

INFP here. :) My boyfriend's an INFJ. (he's REALLY J, which is funny because I am REALLY P, so I drag him everywhere on whims and he's like THERE IS NO PLAN!!!!! *dies inside*) Ya'll are really interesting folks to get to know. :) Also, love this picture!

wow this is beautiful c: honestly, i love it; that smile is deep, you can tell :) the rain looks lovely as well!
i'm very glad you're so happy now :3

I remember doing a test that gave me the same results.
It made me feel a lot happier to know my personality could actually be put in precise exact words.

I absolutely love this.

Omg ;_____; this is so beyond inspiring. The lighting, the expression, the emotion, its all just...so amazing. I'm literally at a loss for words right now.

Beautiful!

I don't really thing that these things can tell you who you are..I dunno I just don't believe in personality types I guess D:

because of my personality... i do! :D;;;

haha.

but we all have our different thoughts <3

Gorgeoius work! The expression is lovely and the rain looks wonderful!
That's a big thumbs up. ^_^

gah
Falvie
Why is your stuff so beautiful gah

This is gorgeous <3

Also I'm an INFJ too, so rock on.

awesome >.....<
rainwater delicious?

that's the kind of thing I so enjoy, keep on smiling.

I love the detail put in to this :3

INFJ as well ;3
beautiful art as always.

This is soo gorgeous :'D It really strikes a chord with me because I recently went to a fur meet for the first time in my life and it was really rainy and cold, but it was awesome to see so many awesome people that I might become good friends with in the future ^^ This picture reminds me of how happy I felt despite the rainy and cold weather that day.
Great piece as usual Falvie

And congrats on the personality type discovery. I've taken personality tests over the years too but I can never find any that really tell me who I am, like you said, never one that completely fits my personality. So congrats once again ^^

As an INTJ, I can relate. lol

it is incredibly uncanny how accurate these personality descriptions are. Everyone in my apartment/friends of roommates took this test a while ago, and it was funny how direct and spot-on the analysis was for each individual. I think INFJ is just an incredibly common bulk of internet-goers xP I myself am an ESTJ, however the desire to "ALWAYS RESPECT THE LAW AND DRESS CLASSY" traits of the ESTJ does not necessarily fit me, yet everything else...felt like my soul was being read o.o

and for something actually pertaining to the submission, jeez this is such a nice piece of art :3 it actually, genuinely, made me happy and I'm still smiling ^^;

Such a wonderful picture. It really expresses how you feel free or at least, one with yourself.
I'd have to say, it's glad to hear that you finally found yourself in the big world.
Since I've seen some of the ups and downs over the years. Hope you have a bright future ahead of you ^^

I love this picture. It encapsulates everything I adore about your art.

As for the subject at hand... if that list is correct I am INFJ to a fault. Just imagine everything on that list being so exaggerated that it negatively impacts my daily life. Hard to communicate with? Selective about the people I get close to to the point of isolation despite the fact that I have an absolute desire to communicate? Breaking things down into abstract and convoluted ways, simplicity often bringing on a panic? Being somewhat empathetic but never acting on these inclinations when presenting myself in fear of being read myself, a fear that manifests itself in several ways in which I hide elements of my personality? Never being satisfied and reinventing myself so often that I stand for nothing at all? The ability to extrapolate hidden meaning in just about anything to the point of paranoia? STUBBORN? Yep... fucking sucks. If any of this is true the only positive thing it has brought to be was allowing me to become an effective graphic designer (when I was in practice)... a fact shot to hell by the fact that I chose to freelance illustrate instead [atm] - hah.

Yeah... if any of that list is true I imagine it explains why I like to drink - if only to get out of my own head.

"Mute withdrawal is a major INFJ defense."

is my response to 60% of IMs!!!

You can understand this, that's apparent. But I really can't. It's so confusing to me *_*
How and where do I take this test? I tried the links but there's so much to read it's overwhelming :C

This made me smile tonight... thank you

[i] Smile
When you’re struggilin’
Smile
When you’re in jail
Smile
When you’re dead broke
Smile
And the rent’s due
Smile
You ain’t got friends now
Smile
And no one knows you
Never let them see you down, smile while you’re bleeding [\i]


Made me think of a song I always loved...

Smile while your bleeding by K'naan

I LOVE IT

ISFP here! I envy your 'doer' and independent attitude <3 In a good way, of course!

http://www.davenevins.com/personali.....types/isfp.htm
http://www.personalitypage.com/html/ISFP.html
If you're interested.
Most things about it are correct - I seem to defer from the path at a few times, like in the 'doer' aspect... I tend to wait for things to happen, which is a very bad habit to have.

I officially want a falvie

This.

infj's unite!

This is so so beautiful. So much emotion, and very well executed as well. Brilliant picture ^^

Beautiful art.
Not much for tagging personality types though.

Cheerful and hypnotizing...brought some smile to my face.

Wow, this piece is beautiful.
OMG U HAVE THE RAREST PERSONALITY TYPE??!
I have no idea what mine is. >.>; I just know I always feel alien to the world as well... but that's because I'm a freak. ;o; LOL
Accepting yourself for who you are is the first step towards happiness ^^

Smile Falvie!!! <3 I really love the fur on this one ;D

Beautiful piece.. Connects so much to how I feel<3 Lovely

Beautiful picture

This is a really beautiful piece! Feels full and expressive.
And its always good to know your personality type, helps to understand stuff. I'm an INTJ myself, made me happy to find it out.

There are never enough drawings of someone enjoying the rain like this :) I love the atmosphere and her expression, it's just so inspiring!

this made me so happy, thx *hugs tight*

There is so much emotion in this, it's incredible!! The way the light cascades down with the rain and highlights Falvie's fur; it's beautiful. :3 And the color choices here are wonderful. One of my favs from you. I just adore your style! <3

love the mouth ^-^

I just took a mock Myers-Briggs test (based on it) and I scored INFJ. Whether or not it's true, it gives me a good place to start.

This is a wonderful picture, I love this

I'm yet to find enlightenment , hope I do one day :)

Ohdayum, that's pretty.


....wait....I think....I think I have that personality as well. There's plenty that matches what I am like and...


Hoooooly shit, I think you just helped me learn something new about myself! No wonder I felt so...different...around others.

This picture is so powerful and wonderful, I love it.
You're right

*wags* fantastic Artwork!

Awesome pic.

the expression is lovely... I had 4 dogs, and the expression is the same as when they were happy...

Some excellent advice that's all too easy to forget...

That lighting and texture is wonderful~

I like the violet/pink-ish glow too.

Oh oh oh this picture speaks to me something fierce! The shading, harsh light, the rain! Why just earlier today I stood out in the rain and smiled to myself, no lie man ('cept I' m not a green canine)!

I'm a definite INFJ. And besides the links posted I've seen the description on several websites and the terms they use are only 'vague' to a point. It's really insightful! And I've never met another INFJ to begin with, so, HI. And hi to all you who are INFJ's in the comments =P

hey i used to be like this took the test i think i had the rarest but now i completly chnged

Asome!!!!
;D

Amazing work ^^

Awesome! Nice work =3

Wow this is beautiful.

Amazing! I'm forwarding this to a lot of friends, because a lot of people tend to forget it.

Something i always ask people is, "If you get shot in your arm, are you happy or sad?"
Because i think, since you are alive to tell the story, you might as well smile about it.

Respect and thanks for doing this, it holds a lot of wisdom <3

Ced actually directed me here, and I’m glad he did.

I took that personality test a year or so back, got the same results as you did. INFJ. I didn't think much about it really, I knew I was going to get that before I ever started it. Yet, when I saw your picture and went to the link, I could feel something rumbling. It was telling me to remember this, remember and not to forget.. Then it told me to write a poem, so I did. I thank you for giving me that inspiration, and reminding me of somethings I'd forgotten.

I wish I could give this multiple favorites, it's just that awesome!

This pic is awesome. I really don't see so intense colors like on your art very often.

Also I think that "Remeber to smile" is a very important sentence. Yeah there are times when you think that your complete life is shit, but you have to remeber that good times will come and that it always can be worse.

Sorry if my English sucks

The colors in this are absolutely GORGEOUS!

So cute and awesome! great job!

I have a rare personality type too, but its 8% of the total popultation. It said I'm actually a mixture of this one and the 8% one I'm talking about. What a beautiful picture, It's very inspiring

I still find great joy in just staring at your artwork. I myself enjoy just walking in the rain as opposed to daylight. Something about the sound, feel and sight of the droplets makes me smile.

Whatever personality type you are, it doesn't take away from these stellar pieces.

This is beautiful. Wonderful work.

Is She Your Original Character? Becuase She Is A VERY Well Done!

I love this.

Love the ligths, the expression, the details... much work to be carried every detail.

It's Just perfect and not need to be so complicated...

this is totaly my new screen saver

i think it's your best piece yet

this is what this image makes me feel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twzYm--XU5c
hear the lyrics and you will get me...
sing along and you will join me.

Wow. She is (with the risk of being cliche and copying everyone else) absolutely beautiful. Just that smile, and the rain (i've always loved the rain) And I can't believe that there's a category, which includes ALMOST all of my traits (i'm not very artistic, and i'm not an activist. I just watch everyone else try, and fail) I'd always linked my personality, with my autism (I have asperger's) but, this has opened up a whole new door for me. Thank you

Simply beautiful and hes defiantly gonna be my bf since hes so happy ;D

I've never been able to draw mouthes before, not until I came across this picture ... I stared for a good 10 seconds, and then just... literally began scribbling sexy mouthes all over EVERYTHING!


Thank you! pink-white-green-happy-cute-thing!! <333

It pulses with emotion.. so beautiful x3

Cool!
This picture share the essence of yourself,
dont care about what the world think about you,
or if them will call you weird or not.
You will always have your own goals and meanings, and fight and endeavor for it.

Hi there, Falvie!
I'm not a INFJ, but a INFP.
not know if you enjoy stuff about Aura, but I believe that you have a Purple Aura.
I'm really glad for learn more about you! x3
See ya!

Oh, sorry for my bad english! XD"

INTP here! *feels alienated among the rest, and hides*

Just thought i'd re-fav this, to get it at the top of my list

I am also an INFJ! We're both rare.
