A Look Inside a Rare Mind: An INFJ’s Journal through Personal Discovery
WHAT THIS BOOK IS:
A raw look into the mind of an INFJ through the beginning stages of her journey from first discovering her Myers-Briggs Personality Type. This book is a descriptive personal journal shared to help those who are at the beginning stages of discovering that they, too, are an INFJ and may be searching for validation, understanding and a kindred spirit. Please note: This book is a personal account and its contents may not apply to all INFJ personalities.
WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT:
An educational or informational resource about the INFJ personality type as a whole. There are ample resources explaining the functionalities of an INFJ which I encourage you to read. However, if you are looking for a technical or scientific source, this book may not be for you.
"My entire life was spent questioning myself. I always wondered why I seemed different. Why I could never fit in anywhere. Why I struggled so much emotionally. And most of all, why I could not find anyone who understood.
My conclusion was always the same. Something is wrong with me. I felt like I was failing at my life and I could never seem to fix it. I changed my persona more times than Madonna. I tried different faiths. I tried different friends. I even changed my wardrobe as often as I could afford to.
But nothing. I continued to fail. I continued to remain alone, misunderstood by myself and everyone around me.
Until one day, I took a Myers-Briggs Personality test and read the results: INFJ. What does that mean? I researched and researched, read and read, pondered and pondered, until it hit me…
I am not insane.
I am not failing.
I am not broken.
I am an INFJ.
Once I learned my personality type, I was able to begin my personal growth and development. In these pages, I wish to share with you my thoughts through the early stages of my discovery: the positive, the negative, the joyful and the depressing.
Welcome to the rare mind of an INFJ."
