famous INFP's... "Bastian" from The Never Ending Story???

Okay, I am sufficiently shaken out of my too much wine state now, and have resumed my search of all things INFP because darn it, I am a geek. Read what you find below with an open mind and sense of humor.... Rocko's Modern Life?????


INFPs, HEALER IDEALISTS, according to Keirsey (www.keirsey.com), are the gentle poets of the universe. They are especially attuned to issues of good and evil, often having been led to believe their "fantasy" world in childhood was an evil abstraction. Many HEALERS have unhappy childhoods. They represent only 1% of the population and are often misunderstood by those they incarnate with.

HEALERS are the peacemakers of the world. With their gentle sensitivty and their passion for the potential in those they love, they can appear to be like Don Quixotes, tilting at windmills. Despite their serene exteriors, HEALERS are intense and committed. You will find HEALERS working anywhere that people are healed by touch, talking, learnings and sharing.

INFPs are also called THE POET. In earlier classifications they would be members of the IDEALIST group, called APOLLONIAN and Choleric.

"What is a poet? He is a man of religious experience whose creative gift enables him to communicate spiritual truths to men. His poetry can bring deliverance from spiritual death, bringing his hearers to a new knowledge of their divine Creator, who gave him this special power. In this way souls that have been disordered can be healed, and the human relation with God may be restored when it has been impaired...This is the fruit and indeed the purpose of music and poetry, direct gifts from God to mankind." -- Elizabeth Henry, Orpheus and His Lute
