INFJs are also rare in the geek community, making up only about 1% of all geeks. That’s a lot of Sherlock.
INFJs are the only Myers-Briggs personality type that I have ever known personally. When I was a teenager, my best friend was an INFJ. He was also my first real success in the world of geeks, where I had been a social outcast until I found my true calling as a geek-writer.
INFJs are unique personalities of great depth and complexity. They are deeply empathetic and caring, but they may also withdraw from society because they feel lonely and misunderstood.
The Second Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. He was portrayed by actor Patrick Troughton. While the Troughton era of Doctor Who is well-remembered by fans and in that era's Doctor Who literature, it is difficult to appraise in full; of his 119 episodes, 53 remain missing. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. The transformation into the Second Doctor, a figure who was the same 'essential' character as the first but with a very different persona, was a turning point in the evolution of the series, and eventually became a critical element of the series' longevity.
