INFJ here too but sometimes I get ENFJ. But you need to take every assessment invented by a human with a huge grain of salt. Because those assessments are reflections of the belief system of the time period they were created in, and they also are extensions of the personal value system held by the assessment creators. Not perfect, these assessments, because a human created them. Not accurate, either. Not entirely. Sorry to be a downer.

"There's just no evidence behind it," says Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania who's written about the shortcomings of the Myers-Briggs previously. "The characteristics measured by the test have almost no predictive power on how happy you'll be in a situation, how you'll perform at your job, or how happy you'll be in your marriage."

But the test was developed in the 1940s based on the totally untested theories of Carl Jung and is now thoroughly disregarded by the psychology community. Even Jung warned that his personality "types" were just rough tendencies he'd observed, rather than strict classifications. Several analyses have shown the test is totally ineffective at predicting people's success in various jobs, and that about half of the people who take it twice get different results each time.
