What are the strengths/weaknesses of your MBTI personality type?

Hello everyone,

I am very interested in studying the Myers-Briggs personality types. I'm curious, what is your type, and what are some strengths and/or struggles you experience? How do those play out in your life? What are your deepest longings and desires? Also, what personality types do you tend to click with?

Or, do you have questions about various personality types? I have studied most of them in some depth and would be glad to share what I've observed/read.

To kick this off, I am an INFJ or INFP (it depends on the day), and some strengths and weaknesses I've experienced are:

- analytical thinking
- an imaginative mind (with a disturbing negative tendency)
- a desire to explore the world (from home as well as literally)
- a constant tendency/desire to read people and study them
- a knack for writing
- a desire to fix people's problems, and sheer agony when that cannot be done (so...sheer agony most of the time)
- a strong sense of justice as well as mercy
- intense physical distress in response to anxiety or relationship issues
- a reluctancy to vocalize opinions and concerns
- a tendency to be used by people
- some social awkwardness
- sensitivity
- frequent fantasizing about protecting people and even dying to protect them

While I really value and like most people - and get along okay with most types - I find that I especially click with the ENFP, INFP, and sometimes INTP and ENFJ.

Excited to see where this goes. Please share your thoughts!!!
