Thought I'd get this Group rolling by sharing the link of one of my favorite descriptions of an INFJ:

donnao, have any insight on the differences between INFJ & INTJ---besides the obvious Feeling vs Thinking??

Not really. I haven't looked at this stuff in a very long time. I'll do some more reading.
I recently read The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron and while it's not the same as the Myers-Brigg classification, I found it described me quite well. Anyone who scores high on introversion might find it interesting.

Well, donnao, hope you come back and share the reading you do...
From my past study, the fact that you have the same first two factors puts us in the same "family" of types---in a way, the IN is the "controlling" aspect...
One particular thing I've read about INFJ that is totally true for me is that many folks think I'm an extrovert---one write-up has it this way: "Their easy and pleasant communication can often mislead bystanders, who might think that the INFJ is actually an extrovert."---but, if I do the "easy and pleasant communication" for too long, I need an introvert caving period :-)

AMZoltai> You should read (if you haven't already) The Introvert's Way by Sophia Dembling.
Like you, if I try to tell people I'm an introvert they think I'm crazy because I can put on my social face when I need to, but then I need to recharge my batteries by being alone for a LONG time.
