7 Facts on the INFJ Personality Type!

Have you ever heard of the MBTI test? It's short for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. First published in 1943, it remains relevant today, used in various contexts like marital counseling, relationship compatibility, career selection, and personal development. As fans of psychology and personality types, we thought it would be fun to do a series on all sixteen types. Today, we're diving into the world of INFJs, also known as 'The Advocate.'

Here are seven fun secrets about INFJs:

1. They're Magical Unicorns! Not literally, but INFJs are statistically the rarest personality type. Only one to two percent of the world's population identify as INFJs, with slightly more females than males. No wonder they’re such mysterious creatures!

2. They Put the Book in Bookworm! As introverts, INFJs love spending time reading. They enjoy learning new things and have a wide range of interests, from history and Hogwarts to psychology. If your INFJ friend hasn’t replied to your text, they might just be visiting platform nine and three-quarters.

3. They Know How to Climb the Social Ladder. Think of INFJs as the goats of society—they know how to climb a mountain when they see one. Ambitious, knowledge-seeking, and always open to self-improvement, this type does what it takes to reach their goals. However, they need to be careful not to push themselves too hard.

4. They See Things and Understand Them. Think of Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower or Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye. INFJs can absorb everyone’s moods the minute they walk into a room, understanding things deeply and empathetically.

5. They Love a Good Puzzle! INFJs might seem timid at first, but don’t be fooled by their quiet demeanor. They never shy away from a good challenge. As deep thinkers with rich inner lives, INFJs enjoy problem-solving and reflecting on ethics.

6. They're Classy AF! INFJs appreciate the finer things in life, whether it’s a good glass of wine or a snazzy pair of Oxfords. They strive for sophistication and prefer quality over quantity, often owning one or two high-quality items instead of several cheaper ones.

7. They Make Routine Fun! INFJs are masters of organization. From filing papers at work and color-coding bookshelves to planning the week ahead with bullet journals, they are meticulous about their details and regimens. You can always count on an INFJ to be prepared, punctual, and persistent.

How Sleep Positions Affect Nightmares and Dream Quality

Image
Many people are aware that sleep positions significantly affect sleep quality and comfort during the night, but not everyone knows that certain sleep positions may also increase the likelihood of experiencing nightmares. The Link Between Sleep Positions and Dreams Theresa Cheung, a dream interpretation expert and bestselling author, suggests that sleep positions can indeed influence the nature of our dreams. Although everyone dreams regardless of how they sleep, studies indicate that sleeping on the right side may lead to more emotionally expressive and healing dreams compared to sleeping on the left side, which has been linked to an increased likelihood of nightmares. This is potentially due to the added pressure on the heart when sleeping on the left side, which can lead to poorer sleep quality and a higher incidence of nightmares. Cheung explains that while left-side sleepers might be more prone to nightmares, those who sleep on their backs are also more likely to experience t

The Knife Angel, also known as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression, is a powerful contemporary sculpture created by British artist Alfie Bradley. Standing at 27 feet (8.2 meters) tall, this striking piece is made from over 100,000 knives collected from amnesty bins and police seizures across the United Kingdom.

Over 80 families participated, adding a deeply emotional and pe

The Dancing Plague of 1518, also known as the Dance Epidemic, is one of history's most peculiar and baffling events. It occurred in the city of Strasbourg, France (then part of the Holy Roman Empire), and saw dozens of people dancing uncontrollably for days on end. The phenomenon remains largely unexplained, but it has captured the imagination of historians and researchers for centuries. This article explores the details of the event, the possible causes, and its lasting impact. Historical Context of the Dancing Plague In July 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing fervently in the streets of Strasbourg. She danced for several hours without stopping, and within a week, dozens of others had joined her. Reports suggest that at its peak, around 400 people were affected by the urge to dance. These individuals danced continuously for days, some even collapsing from exhaustion, and a few reportedly died from heart attacks, strokes, or sheer fatigue. Strasbourg in the Early
