Personality Type It is said that people of the INFP (Mediator) personality type are very expressive and articulate people, possessing a certain dexterity in the use of language. Hence, many have a gift (and perhaps a desire) of learning multiple languages.

I wonder therefore, how many people on this site (dedicated to the learning of languages) are not of the INFP personality type? Of course, it is possible that some here will be learning an additional language out of necessity (e.g. work or study) rather than interest, but I am interested in hearing from those who have a love for language.

Your supposition makes a lot of sense, I'll have to check if I'm in this category!

Ah! Thank you very much for your input Sheila, I am most grateful. I suppose it is true then... We are diplomats after all!

Interesting hypothesis, Shahin. And, sure enough, I fit the INFP profile. As a native English speaker living in the U.S., I have no practical reason for studying other languages. Yet now in my retirement from the working life, there's nothing, except perhaps travel, that interests me more.

Hi Benham, Yes, you are certainly correct! My name is Persian, and although I live in the UK, I am originally from South Asia. And I do not speak much Arabic, but I know a little; I have paused my learning of Arabic for now, as I find it too challenging (haha).

Hi Shahin. where are you from originally?as I saw your profile, you are living in London but it seems you have Arabic background and one thing that caused I wrote this comment is your name and your dexterity in English, "Shahin" is an Iranian name
