For me at least, finding out that I was an INFJ put a stamp on legitimacy on my existence, on my cognitive processes. Before that, I had been called anything from complicated to having a screw loose to overly intellectual to 'those head in the clouds idealists', etc...
At first, there was a mixture of relief, exhilaration and a bit of sadness. Relief - as if you had some kind of diffuse and vague illness and someone finally put a name to it. Exhilaration - ah, the journey of discovery can begin - discovery of oneself and of others, but this time, with a detailed map in hand!!! Sadness - because the way this world is run does not seem to favour the introvert... Or at least, that one has to wait for the second half of life for it to favour the introvert...(read it somewhere, don't remember where).
My two cents' worth.
