My Personality: INFJ (the Counselor Idealist)

A quick personality quiz has been popping up in the blogs I read. Trader Eyal is an ISTJ, Trader Gav is an ISTJ, and the Trading Goddess is an ISTP. Wow, the results are so similar! I have noticed I’ve never seen any of these three in the same place at the same time… hmm….
Anyway, rest assured that I am clearly not any of them. My results came back saying I have an INFJ personality type, sometimes called “Counselor Idealist”. I think there are big passages in those two write-ups that describe me pretty well (even though they read a bit overdramatic in places). However, I won’t tell you which parts, because my profile says I’d only tell people close to me. So, bite me, losers. :-)
I took a similar quiz as part of my old job, and got very different results. So, either I have changed, or I gave the answers that I thought would be good for my career back then. I don’t think they were interested in an intuitive feeler running hundred-million-dollar software projects!
So, as it stands, the only needed personality trait to trade is “I”, for introversion. I wonder if there are any “E”s out there, and if they are making any money…
