Please Understand my Myers-Briggs Personality Obsession

At this point in time it feels weird almost unnerving that I am writing about the book Please Understand Me II. This because it seems that almost everyone in a close proximity to me is also very interested in it and writing about it. Then again my need to disclose what I have found perfectly coincides with what the book says about my XNFP (Champion/Healer) personality in that I am "eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose some truth about people and issues." Basically Ryan and Brittany got Dan hooked on this book and now that I'm at his house its been the focal point of at least a dozen conversations. Now Dan has his own personal copy of Please Understand Me II and we have gone and done the test to find out the personalities of others with interesting results. Me and Dan have also gotten quite good at guessing peoples personalities, so far we are 5/5 in Lethbridge. While we were doing the test with a few others I got the sudden urge to do the test again, so I did it and I came out as what I thought I was an ENFP/INFP (Champion/Healer) except I was very surprised at the degree I was. I say this because in the test I came out as a 5/5 split for E/I, 2/18 for S/N, 0/20 for T/F and 2/18 for J/P. It might be just me but I though that it very interesting to be leaning that much toward Intuition, leaning completely to the feeling side and being very much a perceiving person. I'm still not sure what this means for me but as my personality type shows I will continue to search for the deeper meaning in this, so I guess I'll find out eventually.
