There are 16 personality types according to the MBTI test. Based on if you're introverted or extroverted, if you use sense or intuition, if you think or feel, or if you judge or perceive that is how you get your result. INFJ's are made up of the combination of introvert, intuition, feeling and judging. Some famous INFJ's you may know include MLK, Carrie Fisher, Oprah Winfrey and Mother Theresa. INFJ's are the rarest of the 16 types and here's what makes us so special:

1. Empathetic

INFJ's are nothing if not caring and concerned. Our ears are always ready to listen with our actions to serve and help others to prove it.

2. Sensitive

Since we're gentle by nature it's easy for us to get defensive. We feel everything so deeply; it's what makes us so special.

3. Passionate

We are a group who cannot be shaken. If we believe in something our faith is unyielding and we will always remain stubborn.

4. Creative

INFJ's are best known to lean towards the arts. We are the personality type that is filled with writers, artists and just anyone who has a big imagination.

5. All or nothing

We have the "all or nothing" syndrome pretty bad. We want the best of the best and don't want to waste our times on anything else; we always need an explanation or a reason.

6. Perfectionists

What do you get when you combine passion and all or nothing? Perfectionists. We want everything our way or no way. We will stop at nothing to get what we want.

7. Perceptive

INFJ's can read people like none of the other of the MBTI types. We have strong intuitions since we usually sit back and observe. We're people readers.

8. Reserved

The "I" in INFJ stands for introverted, and that's exactly how we like it. We let others open up to us with no problem but it's a challenge for us to do the same. Our walls are built high and strong.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
