Thanks for stopping by this thread and also the nice suggestions you've pointed out! Actually, I am adding the adjectives, like protector, inspector etc with each type... In my opinion one should know the technical words too, especially those who may want to analyze their personality type more. And let me tell you there is a more technical side to this test which is hard to understand even for students of psychology, like me.
Thank you for sharing your type. I will continue my thread by providing the brief description of INFJ characteristics, now.

INFJ: The Counselor:

INFJs are creative nurturers with a strong sense of personal integrity and a drive to help others realize their potential. Creative and dedicated, INFJs have a talent for helping others with original solutions to their personal challenges.
INFJs are guided by firm principles and closely held values, and often have a vision of a happier and more ideal future. However, they are not content to just have ideas: they are motivated and persistent in making their vision into reality.

INFJs want a meaningful life and deep connections with other people. They do not tend to share themselves freely but appreciate emotional intimacy with a select, committed few. Although their rich inner life can sometimes make them seem mysterious or private to others, they enjoy making authentic connections with people they trust.
The INFJ has a unique ability to intuit others' emotions and motivations, and will often know how someone else is feeling before that person knows it himself. INFJs trust their insights about others and have strong faith in their ability to read people.
