It's not voodoo or anything like that; rather it is a scientifically-designed tool used for understanding ourselves and others and how we all relate to the world.<br /><br />["Where is he going with this?"]<br /><br />Well, one of these types (INFP) tends to REALLY gravitate towards writing. I'm not saying that all INFP people are writers, or vice versa... just that there is a fair amount of correlation there.<br /><br />Some famous INFP writers: Shakespeare, William Butler Yeats, Emily Bronte, Hans Christian Anderson, Homer, Virgil, Amy Tan, J.R.R. Tolkien, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley<br /><br />["Still not seeing it..."]<br /><br />INFP's are also perfectionists.<br /><br />["Oh."]<br /><br />I'm willing to bet that many writers struggle with perfectionist tendencies and have to overcome it, more so than "it just doesn't happen." I know I do! :)j.m. neebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100118942932650408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366860579038899381.post-3851413429762421882010-06-16T14:27:44.938-04:002010-06-16T14:27:44.938-04:00Oh my goodness, YES!
