No, why?

To what did she mean: well, I am an idealist. Always wanting the world to be a better place and contributing to it.

Typical for an INTJ. :mrgreen:

INTJs make up only about 1,5% of the population, yet there are so many of them (us ;) ) who have left a trace in this world. Check this list:

An INTJ is a true free thinker. You can notice that the people in the list I linked belong to different political and religious views.

I've asked myself the same thing. And I couldn't manage to find out. There are very few female INTJs. The site I linked says about 0,5%.

From wikipedia:

"Maria's father was an atheist; her mother—a devout Catholic. Two years earlier Maria's oldest sibling, Zofia, had died of typhus. The deaths of her mother and sister, according to Robert William Reid, caused Maria to give up Catholicism and become agnostic."

I hope she is not in hell :crying:

If there is one thing that God understands, it is loss of faith through tragedy.
Pain causes us to do many horrific things.
God knows Us better than we know ourselves.
