What's Going On Here?
That capital 'O' in the title above frustrates me. Has anyone else noticed that the media is capitalizing every part of a sentence now? Even the 'a's, as in 'Have A Biscuit'. I know they didn't teach me that at school - but no, must not become a grumpy old lady at 19! Language changes. Cultural evolution; that's why we no longer use the phrase 'ye olde'. ^^Now, I took this on helloquizzy:

Your result for The Ultra Ultimate Personality Test...
The Protector
You scored 10 Extroversion, 78 Intuition, 69 Emotional, and 28 Spontaneity!
INFJINFJs are intuitive, caring, quiet and peace-loving: deep and complex people who may seem equally at home dealing with the personal and analytical spheres of life. The interior world of vision and ideas is this type's most comfortable domain, but some degree of human connection is essential for the INFJ's happiness; a potential conflict for this type. Articulate, empathetic and idealistic, INFJs often say they just know things, they know them directly, and they may not be able to tell you how or why! INFJs seem to be able to feel others' feelings vicariously and sense the good and evil in situations: an almost psychic ability which may be an asset in many "people professions." Spiritual, sensitive and committed, INFJs enjoy being of service to others. Once this type's goals are set and the mind is made up, no argument based solely on reason and practicality is likely to divert the passionate INFJ from a mission or chosen project. Whether this characteristic manifests itself as admirable tenacity or bull-headed stubbornness may determine the individual INFJ's potential for life success.
Relationships
INFJs are warm and affirming people who are usually also deep and complex. They're likely to seek out and promote relationships that are intense and meaningful. They tend to be perfectionists, and are always striving for the Ultimate Relationship. For the most part, this is a positive feature, but sometimes works against the INFJ if they fall into the habit of moving from relationship to relationship, always in search of a more perfect partner. In general, the INFJ is a deeply warm and caring person who is highly invested in the health of their close relationships, and puts forth a lot of effort to make them positive. They are valued by those close to them for these special qualities. They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.
Strengths
- Warm and affirming by nature
- Dedicated to achieving the ultimate relationship
- Sensitive and concerned for others' feelings
- Usually have good communication skills, especially written
- Take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
- Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
- Good listeners
- Are able to move on after a relationship has ended (once they're sure it's over)

... and it's very much on the button. ('On the button': I like that. It reminds me of Grandad.) Apart from the almost-pyschic reading of people in social situations - I've always believed I was fairly awful at that. Hmmm... Unless it's one of my accepted truths: that almost every powerful emotion we experience, from rage to loneliness and desperation, springs from either love or the desire to be loved. We're all so fragile, deep down. A smile, that feeling of being accepted, being valued - that's it. Love.
Ah, but back to these quiz results: this line here, I liked. "Once this type's goals are set and the mind is made up, no argument based solely on reason and practicality is likely to divert the INFJ from a mission or chosen project." Mmmhmm. How else do you explain a plan to spend five years at university for an Arts degree? Oh, there are all the points I've made to myself: that a language is a skill for life, opening another world to exploration and understanding; that TESOL could provide employment while overseas; that a high-level degree could lead to further study in different parts of the world, following scholarships wherever they might go; but in the end, this is an exercise in thinking. It's five years devoted to an abstract concept, broadening the mind: learning. Wonderful! Impractical, but life isn't just about practicality. In a society like ours, where we're free to go beyond the essentials of survival (this is breath-taking luck), there are never-ending riches of culture, thought and experience to take in. We can go ever-higher in flights of contemplation, and wait, and percieve: we're unfettered. The power and the glory...
