Portrait of the Counselor (iNFj)

The Counselor Idealists are abstract thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and directive and introverted in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counsleors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.

Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known an Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors have strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another's emotions or intentions -- good or evil -- even before that person is conscious of them. This "mind-reading" can take the form of feeling the hidden distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they came to penetrate others' feelings so keenly. Furthermore, the Counselor is most likely of all the types to demonstrate an ability to understand psychic phenomena and to have visions of human events, past, present, or future. What is known as ESP may well be exceptional intuitive ability-in both its forms, projection and introjection. Such supernormal intuition is found frequently in the Counselor, and can extend to people, things, and often events, taking the form of visions, episodes of foreknowledge, premonitions, auditory and visual images of things to come, as well as uncanny communications with certain individuals at a distance.

Interesting Tamme. I can see a lot of that in you.



I wish I had the kind of personality that doesn't rest until my problems are solved...
No you don't!! It makes for many sleepless nights. LOL I've been known to figure out the bills and the money in my head as I'm laying in bed.
It gets annoying when you have to be somewhere in the morning!

Kellye, I thought it was interesting that we are like both Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling.

Lola,
Very cool! It fits me to a T! I am definitely a teacher (that was what I first wanted to be when I grew up...unfortunately I guess I nver grew up cuz I'm not a teacher!LOL!). I am always teaching some one at work new trick or something new that I learned. I'm the one that my boss picks to teach everyone a new task and etc. When I think about it I do "manipulate" people into doing things...but in a good way. Its hard to explain...
Thanks Lola for the great quiz!
Heidi and Kellye...I can relate to not being able to sleep with out figuring out the problem. Usually I'm not to bad about it, but sometimes it's over the stupidest things. For example, 2 weeks ago I started do crossword puzzles (I never thought I was smart enough for them...but it's the fact that I always thought "too hard" on the questions!). In the past 2 weeks, I've dreamed of crossword puzzles three times. Mainly because I get stumped on a question and dwell on it forever...then I go to bed and dwell on it more! That just drives me crazy!!LOL!
