You can read my take on the INFP personality type on the description page: INFP Description.
I’ve never liked the descriptions that I’ve found online. They’re so general. Some parts applied and others were not like me at all. I can’t say mine is better, just less general.

I'm an INFP. I'm pretty good at it. This is my only qualification for writing an INFP blog.
Thank goodness for the low barriers to self-publication.
As a dayjob, I work in web development because no one will pay me to be professional dilettante. By night, I use my superpowers to wage unending war against writer's block and procrastination.
My unfinished design portfolio site. I will eventually finish it if I need to find another job.
This is what I'm currently doing to grow:
I've been married 15 years and I consider this book instrumental in helping my wife and I build and maintain our relationship.
The book explains that there are five love languages and that each one of us has a language that makes us feel loved. The problem is that we assume that the language that makes us feel loved is the same language that others feel loved.
For example, a husband with Acts of Service as his primary love language would fix things around house to show his wife he loved her. However, if the wife’s primary love language is Receiving Gifts, she’s wondering why he’s working on the house all time when all she wants from him is a little note or a flower or some small token that shows he loves her. She gives him little notes and he’s wondering she doesn’t appreciate all the work he does.
The Five Love Languages says that people feel loved in their language and not ours.
