: The thing I like about these results is they are nice and clear. You have three predominant styles with about 1 or 2 secondary styles. I would type you as a 4w5 INFJ. I wouldnt say your 5 wing is that strong, but neither is your 3 wing. I would say you are Mostly 4 as opposed to Ana who has a very strong 5 wing. So you would be a 4 with a light 5 wing and an even lighter (if nonexistant) 3 wing.
: You are introverted, but not extremely. Your Mercurial style brings you out into the world. You're definitely prefer feeling over thinking too.
: Now, I say INFJ because your Conscientious style is in 5th place and is higher than Leisurely. Combined with the Devoted style you are probably very loyal and committed (this may be why I sometimes see you as a 6). Even if you are not an INFJ, your P isnt that influential. I would say you are somewhere in the middle.

You could be right... It all makes sense, the way you explain it... Hmmm.... Especially about being a 4 with very light 5 or 3 wings. It's true that I *am* loyal and commited... and I can see how that aspect makes me seem like a 6...
However, about being infJ vs. infP... I'm just not at all a "J"! Looking at the Myers-Briggs Introduction page on your Lifexplore site, and the descriptions for Judger, only about 3 of the 14 sound like me, and basically ALL the descriptions for Perceiver fit me (except maybe 3 or 4). I take forever to make decisions, I procrastinate like crazy, I am disorganized, have a hard time finishing projects, I adapt to situations... Yes, I'm definitely an infP.
But thanks Cory -- your insight is always good (and appreciated!)
