Garret Hunter, INFJ type, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator reflection
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment provided, in my opinion, valuable and interesting information as to what my character can be seen as.

This is where my type is inaccurate in describing me, but however inaccurate some of the data points were, INFJ qualities are, more often than not, shared with me. I agree with a majority of them, including the ability to inspire others, the perfectionistic attitude (for better or worse), an interest in social sciences and humanities, and several other
