I am also an INFP! I think it's the most rare of all personality types--only 3% of the population, perhaps?

It sort of makes me curious how many poets fall into this personality type.

This is Justin Evans

I am an ISTP which states my unfavored careers as follows:

artist, fashion designer, theater director, poet, dancer, actor, singer, english teacher or professor, art teacher, healer, stage manager, florist, art therapist, school teacher, music journalist.

It nailed my personality, but all of the carrers that I am or would like appear on the unfavored careers.

Go figure!

Actually I'm a dual INFP/ISFP. Apparently, I am 50% on both N and S.
