That article resonates with me intensely. I was marked as a child genius when I was younger, but I didn't really live up to it. I just sort of had an adult brain and old soul and a knack for processing abstract patterns. My school ended up getting aid from the state because of my scores and they hired me a special gifted teacher. But I never felt as smart as people expected me to be. I was good at almost anything, but spectacular at nothing besides patterns and people watching.

So maybe I'm just a people pleasing INFJ who's sensitive and easily stimulated into joy?

I keep expecting somewhere to read something that leads me to realizing I'm some other type. Like I said I have so much in common with INFJs but not as much of my quirks are ever listed.

I'm still reading this gifted article. Great resource, thank you. Also thank you for taking the time to link me to the bipolar resource. Bipolar II is not as well known and that could've helped someone who needed it. I most likely don't (unless I just have 99.9% happy periods naturally and I'm the most lucky person with Bipolar alive.) I will bring up both things with my new counselor when it feels right.
