I too am an INFJ hahaha. Subby trend perhaps? I originally took the test as part of work. I used to work in a public facing role in the federal government and understanding the different personality types along with different communications styles was part of our ongoing training in order to help us be better communicators. Understanding our own personality types and communication styles also helped us better understand why certain personalities and styles got under our skin more than others. I found it to be incredibly helpful to have this knowledge and other jobs I've had since then have also touched on these as well.
Since communication is such a huge component to BDSM and BDSM relationships, I've found it to also be helpful when it comes to screening potential play partners and potential long term partners. A few years ago I had spent 10 years in a bleh vanilla relationship. It ultimately crumbled because our communication styles, personalities and life goals/aspirations just didn't match up. They were an ISTP which is a known challenging opposite to my personality type. Had I had the insight I do now into the variances of personality types I likely would've ended that relationship much, much sooner than I did since ultimately we were both unhappy for a long period of time.
I find the personality traits to be accurate as well. INFJ's are the most likely to stay in college and have the highest GPA among the other personality types. ISTP's are the most likely of the traits to not finish college. I graduated from college cum laude, he didn't even finish high school. INFJ's are commonly found in careers in the arts, my degree is in film and animation production/advertising design. INFJ's are also well known to be submissive on personality trait scales, go figure haha.
So, overall, I do highly recommend taking the time to take the Myers-Briggs personality test. It has given me so much useful insight into myself and into others.
