> I'm INFP, but I'm only "mild" in each of these directions. Does this mean I'm bland? Does this mean I have no personality? I better talk with a psychologist about this stuff... oh wait- nevermind.
==============
No ll, it does not mean you are bland, or lack personality!
There could be a few reasons:
-I am INFP, and it took me a bit more effort to figure it out than most others on the course. Apparently we are dreamers, and in test tend to imagine what we would like to be, or what we admire in others.
-MBTI refers to YOUR personality, but as you get older you'll find a lot of learnt behaviour. Example, I am very intravert, but have learnt to adapt an extravert side to prevent complete isolation. I quite like this side as well, although it costs me a lot of energy to force it on. As you get older, you get better at this, and your intravert side may appear to be less strong (how old are you??)
-I can imagine certain mental illnesses have a effect on it too. In case of bipolar (easy example), when manic someone might be a lot more extravert than when depressed. So in a lot of questions, the answer would be: depends on the mood! iso just yes or no.Have you read the profile? Does it fit you?
Did you do the internet test? If you want more clarity, perhaps you psychologist can give you a more professional/detailed test.
