INFJ= Idealists : Counselors

According to the website http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirse...=counselor :Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population

This part is so me :"The Counselor can become stressed when they are required to deal with too many unexpected events or required to be too extraverted for too long a time. " I really do need alone time and if my co-workers are constantly chit-chatting or interrupting me to talk about silly non-work related stuff it stresses me out.
source :Keirsey' PersonalityZone - Temperament and Your Career - Dealing With Work Stress

Examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ):
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor

Even though I don't put too much stock in seemingly oversimplified personality types, I did take the test and it said I was INFJ. Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging.

Examples given: Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Nicole Kidman, John Calvin, Fanny Crosby, Mel Gibson, etc.

Same here: INFJ. But I got a moderate on all of them except Feeling, on which I scored "slightly expressed." Maybe I'm just not feeling logical today.

I am an INTJ. I began my career in law enforcement two years ago, and I recently used my science-heavy BS to switch departments within my agency to become a science officer. I absolutely love it. Perhaps it is the law + natural sciences combination that stimulates my interest.

I'm an INFJ... Which is kinda funny because the career list is
Clergy / Religious Work
Teachers
Medical Doctors / Dentists
Alternative Health Care Practitioners, i.e. Chiropractor, Reflexologist
Psychologists
Psychiatrists
Counselors and Social Workers
Musicians and Artists
Photographers
Child Care / Early Childhood Development

Which I'm going for my Psych degree and planning on going to grad school for psych/counseling, as well as thinking about doing teaching on the side... Wacky... Some of the other careers are definitely not for me though...

I also was infj. Problem with these tests just like the MMPI is that if you took this test 10 or even 5 years ago would the results come up the same? Our view points change with the more traumatic damage that we take in changing even if subconscious feelings towards ourselves and humanity.
Ok that was my Dr. Phil moment there.

I'd thought about that myself, but to be honest I think I would answer at least 90% of the questions the same compared to myself 20 years ago.. (Ugh, I was graduating highschool then... I feel old) Granted, the 10% of the questions may have put me in a (slightly) different classification (I think I would have end up as either an INTJ or an ISFJ at that point in my life.)

*EDIT* I actually found an email from 1999 with my results, and I was an INTJ back then (yes, I've got email going back to 1996 that I still keep.. Never know when its going to be useful)... Go figure... I think I may have mellowed a bit... :p *End Edit*

I do agree with you though... Life's twists, turns, and traumas make us who we are Today. Which is one cool thing about Psychology... If you're honest enough with yourself, you can figure out what and why you'ved changed... Hehe... And if I get sick of counseling, there's always the research side as well as the opportunity to teach... But then again, if I was a teacher, I might end up being like Mr. Hand in Fast Times... ROFL
