  I took the personality test and I found it spooky on how accurate it is for me, I feel as if I lost my "free will" or something like that.

  Having said that, I have been reading literature on my INFP personality type and I have been applying some changes in my life based on the recommendations and so far I have made changes that I thought impossible a couple of months ago.

  > What Briggs Myers grasped, says Emre, was that the system would be more effective if it showed everyone to be good at something. “She intuited that it would yield higher productivity, and it would convince workers to bind themselves to their jobs freely and gladly.”

  Quite a history!
