I took a test again and it said I'm an INFJ. Actually on my actual MBTI answer slip I wrote INFJ; I don't know why I got the INFP booklet. But I read about both types online and I still feel I'm more of an INFP.
Maybe my responses aren't totally accurate because I unknowingly let my idealism take over and tick the responses that describe who I'd like to be more than who I am.
INFP - Questor/Healer — "I Never Find Perfection"
Wow this is really true. I guess it has to do with INFPs viewing their lives very intensely even though they seem to be quite laid-back. My obsession with perfection makes me very stressed about where I am in my life and what I'm doing with it, and is the main cause for my permanent depression / nagging emo-ness behind the loud laughter and fixed smiles. I worry a lot about things not working out; I lack faith in the things happening around me.
It's the strong idealism thing I guess. When your world's an imaginary one full of ideals (I tend to take reality and warp it in my head to become what I wish things were), reality only hits you in short, sudden bouts when your long train of thoughts are momentarily stunned. And then you realise things aren't like what you think they are and get depressed. It happens a lot for me.
They feel a need to be in a committed, loving relationship. If they are not involved in such a relationship, the INFP will be either actively searching for one, or creating one in their own minds.
My world's one of imagination and ideals. It sucks sometimes. My mind is a vulnerable never-stopping imagining emo-ing thinking machine. It's just bad. If/when I like someone, idealism is dangerous. And then, in a relationship, the worrying, emo-ing, this-is-imperfect-and-thus-my-life-is-screwed side acts up and engulfs me.
OMG WAIT I JUST FOUND SOMETHING THAT EQUALS WHAT I JUST SAID IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH AND THE TWO PARAGRAPHS ABOUT NEVER FINDING PERFECTION (after the first blue sentence in this post). HAHAHA. THIS IS SO AWESOME.
INFPs' tendency to be idealistic and romantically-minded may cause them to fantasize frequently about a "more perfect" relationship or situation. They may also romanticize their mates into having qualities which they do not actually possess. Most INFPs have a problem with reconciling their highly idealistic and romantic views of life with the reality of their own lives, and so they are constantly somewhat unsettled with themselves and with their close personal relationships.
...I just realised something.
In conclusion, I'm highly delusional.
The INFPs tend to live in the world of their imagination rather than the real world
(Idealistic.)
May appear at times to be aloof and cool, but still water runs deep.
Is deeply concerned with harmony and maintaining harmony is critical
The INFP is usually very articulate and will NEED to talk about how they feel
(Okay, I can't speak well. Often, when I try to tell someone something I end up sounding really stupid and people often don't get what I'm trying to say. I'm horrible at talking. Writing's fine though. I think it has to do with my confidence level more than anything. I do totally need to express how I feel. All the time. But I usually do it on paper.)

The INFP under great stress will verbally get loud, angry and critical.
(Am I critical when I'm under stress? D: But yes it's true, I will get loud and angry. Maddie knows... I've shouted at her twice before I think. I'm really sorry Mad. I love you to bits, you know that!!!)
Oh and check this out:
The INFP is likely the MOST ROMANTIC of all 16 types
The INFP has extremely high expectations of intimacy in marriage and relationship
INFPs find sex and romance very, very important
HAHAHAHA okay I think the second one's really true, I don't want to find out how true the sex one is anytime soon HAHA BUT INFPs hold values in especially high regard, and I won't do anything that clashes with my values.
