What is INFJ?
According to the Myers Briggs Foundation:
“Infj is an introverted intuition type whose primary mode of living is focused inward, where they deal with ideas and concepts – with their own ideas and concepts. They are people who are very focused and intense, and they tend to be quiet and reserved around people they don’t know well.
Infjs are often fascinated by psychology, philosophy, dreams, and visions. They tend to be more intuitive and have strong imaginations, and they may have a difficult time discussing these topics out loud.
As they focus inward, INFJs can be quiet, reserved people who are not usually very expressive, but their emotions are intense. They are often excellent counselors and teachers, and they can be very creative.”
At its basic level, Arete was a concept that was extremely important to the Greeks, commonly thought of as meaning "virtue", its meaning is closer to something like, "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential." So it's natural that there was a goddess that represented the concept. Arete, as a goddess, was the personification of this idea and was the daughter of Praxidike and the sister of Homonoia. Her contested Roman equivalent is Virtus. The only know tale of her has her and her counterpart Kakia (goddess of vice), offering Herakles a secret test of character, which he of course passed.
