One aspect of the personality of an INFJ is how they like to have their external world orderly and systematic. Personally, I find this to be true, from how I like to have order to my room and apartment, having a specific place for everything. Internally though INFJ’s tend to spontaneous regarding how they live life because they discern things intuitively. I find this to be very true in my personal life. As it turns out, I am the team leader over small groups at my church, and my small groups have many times been characterized by giving people counsel and encouragement about things most other people would probably not know.

For me I am very sensitive to how other people act, and I often judge whether or not someone’s action was the right or wrong action.
Step 2 Overall I have learned a lot about my personality and how it could help in my life. More specifically as one of the leader of connect groups at my church, I find the information on my personality type very helpful. As my personality type being more inward, I know understand why I am more prone to take the background in meetings, choosing rather to listen to others speak before adding my input. Sometimes, though, this could cause the meeting to be prolonged, but understanding my personality, will help me lead during meetings and express that I am thinking more
