INFP (9w1)
Adyashanti personality type is INFP, the most idealistic of the 16 Myers-Briggs types. In my own case, I am an INFP, and this personality type is generally associated with the literary and artistic professions. It is said that the INFP personality type is meant to be a calming influence on the world, a sort of soul that brings beauty and meaning into a world that can otherwise be a dark and dreary place.
My own experience of being an INFP has only confirmed this idea. As an INFP, it is my natural tendency to be more concerned with the inner life than the outer life. In some ways, this is a very positive aspect of my personality. I have a natural affinity for writing and poetry, and I am naturally introspective—even about seemingly insignificant things. But at the same time, I have noticed that this trait can sometimes be a source of frustration for people who are involved in relationships—especially romantic relationships.
Because INFPs are so attuned to their inner states, they often find it difficult to understand the inner lives of others. We tend to see thing as they truly are, without necessarily considering what everyone else is thinking or feeling.
