I like people who are in essence seeking to do good and benefit those around them in a positive manner and are kind and caring to others and I also like people who are intectually and mentally open minded and can have a civil debate without getting heated or personal. I also like people who can have fun and be serious in good balance as too much of one or the other can make it tricky for me to get on with them.

I find favor with this. I express humanitarian goals of giving time, attention and resources to key pivotal areas such as children. education, lessening the wide discrepancy of the wealth gap, environment, health care and increasing the human happiness quota ratio. I hold with the spiritual doctrines that say that the true kingdom of God is within and the external world holds Maya or illusions in humanity's pursuit of fame, power, wealth and beauty.
None of the former will give ultimate happiness although a modicum of financial security is warranted. I am also an INFP. I am insightful, empathetic, a good listener and not prone to anger. I have an internal locus of control and do not allow external situations or people to define my worth.

I also too agree with this. I am attracted to wisdom, discovering truths and growing throughout the course of my life span. With each added insight I grow in depth and breadth. It is the journey of life's experiences as such I am existentialist.
(3) "...fun...serious ...good balance..."
Reasonable. I will add I have a pet peeve towards anger prone individuals. I know they are triggered but I find that emotional expression toxic.
