It'd be kind of cool to have subforums here for each of the different types, or maybe the top five (if there was a way to set that up). Maybe that's too much, and not feasible, but it'd be nice to communicate directly back and forth with our own group.
I redid it again recently, after several decades, and it still came back the same (INTJ).
Any other INFPs here never feel content? Be it with your career or your marriage?
I'm also INFP. Yeah, this is true for me. It's something I worry about in my career: making too much money and/or getting too specialized, so I'm no longer able to switch to a radically different career should I need an escape. It's also one reason I'm not wild about the idea of marriage; settling down sounds terrifying.

It's in the INFP's nature to keep seeing possibilities everywhere. I could see how that could translate to a sense of dissatisfaction.
Early in my life I used to say "I definitely know what I don't want but I'm not sure what it is that I do want." Perhaps it requires trying out a lot of possibilities for INFPs before they can tell what works for them and what doesn't.
Fortunately even after choices are made INFPs are very open to tweaking things to be more accommodating.
So many choices can seem a bit overwhelming but it's also a benefit for flexible people.
I am not fully satisfied with my life. I am married but deep down am not happy with it. My wife is nice - but I have a feeling of having 'settled' years ago and regret it.
Also, the careers that interest me aren't big money careers, I am still young enough to have another 20 years (approx) in a role, but again, there is a feeling of discontent.
I am not a psychology major, but I do find it fascinating.
ISTJ I am more of an introvert who prefers smaller groups of people, and I have also had leadership roles at work. I do not ever prefer large groups of people or crowds, though.

I'm an INFP, too. I would say I'm content with both. My weaknesses as an INFP are the following: I go crazy over people who are being totally fake, I'm a hardcore dreamer and idealist (sometimes I have trouble seeing things through), every part of my life has to have real meaning, it upsets me if I disappoint others.
As an extrovert, which is just as hardwired in me as being introverted is hardwired into introverts, I often feel like I am judged harshly (and wrongly in most cases) by some introverts. For instance, they assume I'm shallow or a Chatty Cathy because I smile at and talk with strangers. It's just the thing I do - just like they often DON'T.
Oh well. It takes all types.
