For reasons that probably make no sense, I was really excited to learn that JK Rowling is a fellow INFJ! :) Reading that made me want to look up other INFJs, and they all make sense to me and most of them lead pretty inspiring lives! The list did include two of the worst people in recent history, so that was a little disconcerting... From the Psychology Junkie website: "INFJ villains are usually motivated by some kind of twisted sense of social justice - they want to make the world a better place, they just do it in a really messed up way."
I totally see that. Anyway, here are a wide variety of people who share the INFJ personality...
- Female Authors --- J.K. Rowling, Emily Dickinson
- Male Authors --- Soren Kierkegaard, Leo Tolstoy
- Humanitarians --- Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Leaders --- Thomas Jefferson, Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana, Gandhi
- The Dark Side --- Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Loki (Thor and The Avengers) :(
- Female Celebrities --- Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Nicole Kidman
- Male Celebrities --- Steven Spielberg, Tom Selleck, Billy Crystal
- Fictional Women --- Rose DeWitt Bukater (Titanic), Queen Elsa (Frozen), Jane Eyre
- Fictional Men --- Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin (Harry Potter), Gandalf (Lord of the Rings), Charles Xavier (X-Men)
- My Life --- Me and Jenna =)
