keladry_lupinI often wondered what was wrong with me, that I would take and re-take those Myers-Briggs personality tests and come out with results that didn't seem quite right. A comment in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginny_weasley31's latest post got me thinking about it, and after clicking a dozen or so links, I think I have it figured out. I always supplied the answers I wanted to be -- ISTP or ISTJ -- not what I actually was. But when I went to this page and started reading, the first sentence after the quote from Moby Dick told me everything I needed to know: "INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder." Like Anne and Calvin.
I think, anyway. *peeks here* Yeah. That's me.
It's funny, where enlightenment can come from. When I read a certain chapter of BoF's Seven Preposterous Things, I sat bolt upright in my chair. Hermione realizes something abut Severus: while her own mind is always going and thinking over external problems and puzzles, Severus spends a great deal of time inside his own head. And when I started rescuing my books from exile in Dad's apartment, he smiled and said that I couldn't bear to be separated from my world for too long. He figured it out around the same time that I did.
It doesn't explain everything, but it does explain a lot.
