All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Here’s my personality type:
INFP Mediator
As an INFP (Mediator), you possess a rich inner world brimming with imagination, empathy, and idealism. Your compassionate nature and deep-seated desire to understand the human experience make you a natural confidant and source of support for those around you. You approach life with a sense of wonder, always seeking meaning and authenticity in your experiences and relationships.
Your creativity is a wellspring of inspiration, often manifesting in unique ideas and innovative solutions to complex problems. However, this same creativity can sometimes lead you to become lost in daydreams, making it challenging to navigate the more practical aspects of life. You have a profound capacity for empathy, allowing you to connect with others on a deep, almost intuitive level.
Your introspective nature drives you to continually explore your own thoughts, feelings, and values. This self-awareness is a powerful tool for personal growth, but it can also lead to excessive self-criticism. You’re highly attuned to criticism from others as well, which can sometimes leave you feeling vulnerable or misunderstood.
Despite these challenges, your unwavering commitment to your ideals and your ability to see the best in others make you a powerful force for good in the world. Your journey is one of balancing your rich inner life with the demands of the external world, always striving to bring more beauty, kindness, and authenticity into your life and the lives of those around you.
About Me
My name is Susan Marie Shuman, and I currently live in Birmingham, AL. I’m a freelance writer, editor, proofreader; all-around late-bloomer, and introvert. In the past, I’ve worked as a data entry clerk, admin assistant, bartender, waitress, and caregiver to the elderly. I am also the author of five books, Gutter Ball: A Collection of Short Stories, Eddie’s Underwear & Other Shorts, andBad Meringue & Other Stories, Kerwyn Argyle and The Homunculus Heroes, which is a novel. You can find them all on my Amazon Author’s Page, right here.
I’ve also compiled and edited several books for Rabbi Stephen Lewis Fuchs, the most current one being And Often the First Jew.
If I weren’t a writer, most likely I’d be a linguistic anthropologist — that’s where the real money is! (kidding).
If and when I decide to grow up, I want to be a crash test dummy and wear a cool uniform like Larry here:
