And I am...

I've done a lot of variations of the Myers-Briggs personality test, but never found a definition that I thought was "me"-- until now. I found this funny especially because it hit the nail on the head when it comes to my love for the written word and the fact that an excellent place to meet me would be in a church! hahaha.
 

    You have an Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judger (INFJ) personality commonly referred to as The Mystic Writer.

    INFJ in general: The written word is sacred to you because through it, you can understand and express the mysteries of life. When you are not writing, you are exercising another of your supreme talents -- the gift of listening -- to comfort and aid those who come to you for advice and guidance.

    INFJ when in love: When it comes to affairs of the heart, you prefer to express yourself with your pen: poetry, journal writing, and tender notes left on the bathroom mirror are your favorite methods of communicating your love and devotion. As a Mystic Writer (only about 2% of the population), you tend to devote most of your time and energy to your mate. In fact, you can be quite content having your partner as your sole source of quality companionship -- as your best and only friend. Unfortunately, this near obsession with one individual as your sole source of emotional support could cause you grief. You may decide to avoid your loved ones and spend all your time with your partner, only to find out later, perhaps much later, that he or she is absolutely wrong for you. In the mean time, you prolong a bad relationship by deluding yourself -- with your highly developed sense of imagination -- into believing he or she is the right one.

    INFJ female: You have a wider range of quality mating choices than your male counterpart. You can thrive with the male Mystic Writer, Idealistic Philosopher (INFP), or Scholar (INTP). You even get along well with the Wheeler-Dealer (ESTP), the type of gent who will offer you a no-holds-barred, electrifying relationship.

    INFJ where to meet: Where can you meet a Mystic Writer? Mystic Writers are the most reclusive of the Meaning Seeker LoveTypes. You may have a hard time unearthing them because they often enjoy kicking back at home: reading, writing, thinking, praying, meditating, or listening to music. Excellent places to meet Mystic Writers include churches, synagogues, or other religious institutions. Although any of the LoveTypes may be involved in religious or spiritual activities, Mystic Writers are especially known for their spiritual (although not necessarily religious in the traditional sense) nature.

    INFJ how to win love: If you sense that our Mystic Writer is a strong Introvert, you might schedule dates that cater to his or her need for solitude. Try quiet nights at home, with dinner ordered in, soft music, and one of his or her favorite videos. Or if you feel your Mystic Writer is more outgoing you can suggest poetry readings of talks on metaphysical, psychological, or philosophical topics. Afterward you can take you Mystic Writer to relaxed, intimate dinners, followed by long romantic walks.
