Answer 1

INFJ stands for Introvertive, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging



The Myers-Briggs is a personality survey, meant to give you and others a little bit of insight into what your personality is like and how you react to things.



The Introverts, compared to extroverts, generally "recharge" themselves by quiet activites. Do you generally like to stay home or hang out with a small group of close friends, or are you the type that goes to bars and clubs?



The Intuition type is balanced with the Sensing type. Intuitive types trust hunches and theories, while Sensing types like facts and data that can be backed up.



The F stands for Feeling, and it's opposite in this test is Thinking. Thinking types make decisions from standing back and using logic, while Feeling types use their emotions and empathy to chose a best course of action.



The last category is either Judging or Preceiving. The Judging-Perceiving relationship relates to the dominant side of the brain. Judging is generally associated with left brain dominance, and Perceiving is associated with right brain dominance.

Remember, it can sometimes change, and that's okay. As you mature throughout your life, your views may shift slightly and you might see the world and yourself in a different way.



I wouldn't look too hard for a quick answer to see if you're bipolar or not online. There is no site or counselor that can diagnose you in this manner. If you want more information on biopolar disorder though, try going to NAMI.org

Answer 2

Well, firstly, any disorder is mostly characterised by the impact it has on your daily and social functioning. So if you wake up with wad's of cash gone and absolutely hanging to spend another amount of money you don't own, or in the other extreme, wonder if your life will ever exit leaving you free from this burning hell, then its a possibility... but still a long way to go : )

The Myers Briggs is an adaptation of a theory into a quantifiable test and then adapted again to its current form (along with some fine tuning). The Myers-Briggs specificaly is more relative to employment opportunities and the work place environment.

To take it out of this context will require a lot of reading about Jung. He is the originator of a theory of types. He then developed this rather quantitive theory to assist in practically explaining his 'deeper' Psychoanalytical theoretical perspectives.

Any test needs to be placed in perspective and cannot be taken at it's face value. There are also cultural issues that affect any result in every test.

It really is to complicated to expect the test to demonstrate a pathology and its resolution. All it can be is a very general indicator. You may as well use any other number of theoretical perspectives. E.g. Neuro Linguistic programming will take a tenth of the reading time and brain power required to understand, when compared to Jung. But tests are fun for sure!

In terms of Bi-polar, don't waste your time looking for and into theories... a practical solution requires a practical explanation. Find a number of questions to do with extreme behaviour associated with BP and then test yourself. And if you do really well and score really really high, then go and see a mental health professional for some simple solutions. Otherwise just practice discipline; try a martial art!

Peace out!



I tried that Bi-Polar website and it is crap. It says I am likely to be Bi Polar... like I had any options on that test. I would strongly suggest you skip any test or part of a test that is not endorsed by a profssional Psychological or Psychiatric society or organisation.

Answer 3

The Myers Briggs does not assess pathology (has nothing to do with whether or not you may be bipolar). This instrument is not meant to diagnose ANYTHING, rather, it groups people into 16 basic personality types based on four basic dimensions.



I've appended a link that will describe a typical person with this personality type:

Answer 4

The only thing Skywalker is defined as is... In the Star Wars universe, the Skywalker family is a Force-sensitive family started by Shmi Skywalker on Tatooine. Shmi's son, Anakin Skywalker, was apparently conceived by the midi-chlorians and born with the help of The Force, though her surname seems to imply the family has long been strong with the force. The ability to influence the midi-chlorians to create life may have been discovered by Darth Plagueis, a Sith Lord, lending a clue to Anakin's origins. Many fans speculate that either Plagueis or his apprentice, Palpatine, may have been responsible for Anakin's conception and therefore would be his "father" based on the legend that Palpatine told to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. The film seems to be deliberately ambiguous on this point. After Anakin left Tatooine, Shmi married Cliegg Lars, becoming the stepmother of Owen. Owen later married Beru Whitesun, both of whom functioned as the caretakers of Luke Skywalker after the events of Revenge of the Sith. As a Jedi Knight, Anakin secretly (and illegally, according to the rules of the Jedi), married Padmé Amidala, who gave birth to twins, Luke and Leia (Luke Skywalker has since formed a new Jedi Order, where the members are apparently no longer forbidden to marry). Luke was raised on Tatooine by his aunt and uncle (Beru and Owen Lars), while Leia was raised by Bail Organa and Queen Breha Organa on Alderaan. In the Expanded Universe, Luke, following his sister's marriage with Han Solo and the birth of the Solo children, eventually married Mara Jade in 20 ABY and later, in 26 ABY, had a son named Ben. According to an upcoming comic book series from Dark Horse called Star Wars: Legacy, which will take place 135 years after the end of Return of the Jedi, Cade Skywalker, son of Kol Skywalker [unsure how to edit bloodline below], and a direct descendant of Luke Skywalker (and presumably Ben Skywalker, though this has not been confirmed), is the last surviving Skywalker of his time around 140 ABY. From an early biography of Cade, it is shown that he has completely abandoned the Jedi way and has become a bounty hunter. What led him to turn away from the Jedi Order and what happened to the Skywalker and Solo family lines remains to be seen.

Answer 6

This test, as other personality tests, is a fake.

Please, for your wellness, don't listen to this sort of thing. To pay attention to this kind of psychological valutation may just make you feel worst. I'm studying psychology in my country and I'm realizing how this sort of "analisy" make people to feel worst.



They won't give you an answer for feeling better or for having a better life. In my life I've never met a mental sane person who had done some psychoanalisis or something like this 'cause it isn't the right way.
