Allison told me to take this test. So I did. Here are my results after taking the test. If you have time you should take the free test as well. It is very interesting. And if you like learning about yourself and others you will totally be into it:

Portrait of an INFP - Introverted iNtuitive
Feeling Perceiving
(Introverted Feeling with Extraverted
Intuition)
As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal
with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your
personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in
primarily via your intuition.
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the
world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning
in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives?
They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest
for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their
intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for
value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning
underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets
sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any
potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at
the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and
make the world a better place.
Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people
at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very
deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This
sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante.
An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.
INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must
face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In
conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is
wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't
really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This
trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict
situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically
good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand
people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.
INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In
the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive
defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a
project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for
them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every
possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".
When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically
completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without
noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of
dust off of their project booklet.
INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their
feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with
impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of
impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it.
Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this
ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for
INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often
inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are
usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may
have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are
likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they
may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high
ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this
conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused
and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.
INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with
expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and
express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social
service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in
situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they
don't need to use hard logic.
INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and
wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the
great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.
