I might have INFP too. At least I thought I did for a long time.
Anyways, maybe see how you feel you compare to the people on globalchatter. I honestly relate more to the lifestyles and posting styles of people here, but it might be a good exercise for comparison and contrast.

INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people.
INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause". INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper.
I fit these to some extent, though not completely. For example, I usually fight for causes through logic, and not especially passionately, though I will usually respond if somebody, for example, calls Stalinism 'communism'. I've already done this with my history teacher, for example. Though this could just be because I dislike people being taught wrong. I don't think the paragraph up there on it describes me well, but...
As for writing, I'm definitely a lot better at expressing things on paper, though I also find writing about my feelings to be boring.
As for making the world a better place, that's my aim. Why waste your life?
