Ok, I’m not a mother, but you can take the quiz here

The “Know Thyself” mother

“I believe the joy of motherhood is self-discovery—for them and for me.”

* Sensitive and family-focused, the INFJ mother looks for and encourages the unique potential of each child. Self-knowledge may be her byword. Her aim is to help each child develop a sense of identity and cultivate personal growth. In fact, she may value the mothering experience as a catalyst to her own personal growth and self-knowledge.
* The INFJ mother spends time observing and understanding each child. She is drawn to intimate conversations and seeks a free exchange of feelings and thoughts.
* Sympathetic and accommodating, the INFJ mother strives to meet the important yet sometimes conflicting needs of each family member in harmonious and creative ways
* She is conscientious and intense as well. Probably no one takes life and child-raising more seriously than the INFJ. She approaches mothering as a profession requiring her best self.

This is really simple to take (as long as you already know your profile). I decided to post it because Andrea had done it. Earlier tonight, when I read the post in her blog I opened the link in a new tab. I got called away from the computer. In the midst of the disruption Andrea and I decided to test a small change I’d made to a plugin. When she sat down to the computer she noticed the tab and told me that you just filled in your profile. I told her to go ahead with mine. The next thing she said was, “sounds just like you.” In any event, it is interesting to see the jung typology applied to the perspective of parenting.
