Last week, while browsing Pinterest (AKA being sucked into the never ending pages of never ending stuff”), I came across a Harry Potter personality quiz. So OBVIOUSLY, I had to take it. It turned out to be the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which would then fit me into a character from the series. I have never taken the MBTI before, which is weird to me because I am THE QUEEN of taking any personality tests, especially if the topic is even slightly interesting. This of course, is way more legitimate than “What Kind of Lover are You?” in Cosmopolitan magazine, but whatever. After getting my results and discovering I was an “INFJ” (Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging), I checked the chart to see that I was matched with Remus Lupin. I was ecstatic about this. He is one of my top 5 favorite characters. I knew there was a reason I felt a connection to his character so quickly. I wish the movies displayed his personality as well as the books do (standard book to movie adaptation problems). But let me get back to the topic at hand. So, Remus and myself are called “The Counselor.” The chart says:
“SEEK MEANING AND CONNECTIONS IN IDEAS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND THE NATURAL WORLD. WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MOTIVATES PEOPLE, AND ARE INSIGHTFUL ABOUT OTHERS. ORGANIZED AND DECISIVE ABOUT IMPLEMENTING THEIR IDEAS. PRIVATE, INTUITIVE, AND COMPLEX BY NATURE.”
I’ve been reading a lot about INFJs. Figuring out who I am has become crucial to me in the last couple of months, because I feel very disoriented. I know complete understanding will not happen over night, but the more I read about INFJs, the more I understand so much about myself. Once again, being a Potterhead has brought me some clarity to my befuddled mind. Here’s to figuring out how complex I am, and being okay with it. And like a true INFJ, I can’t wait to write about it.
For my fellow Potterheads, here’s a link to the blog with the website!
