Myers Briggs INFJ - Characteristics
-
Myers Briggs INFJ are conscientious and value-driven. They seek meaning in
relationships, ideas, and events, with an eye toward better
understanding themselves and others. Using their intuitive skills, they
develop a clear vision, which they then execute decisively to better the
lives of others. Like their INTJ counterparts, they regard problems as
opportunities to design and implement creative solutions.
-
They are quiet, private individuals who prefer to exercise their
influence behind the scenes. Although very independent, they are
intensely interested in the well-being of others.
-
INFJs prefer one-on-one relationships to large groups. Sensitive and
complex, they are adept at understanding complicated issues and driven
to resolve differences in a cooperative and creative manner.
-
They have a rich, vivid inner life, which they may be reluctant to share
with those around them. Nevertheless, they are congenial in their
interactions, and perceptive of the emotions of others.
-
Generally well-liked by their peers, they may often be considered close
friends and confidants by most other types. However, they are guarded in
expressing their own feelings, especially to new people, and so tend to
establish close relationships slowly.
-
They tend to be easily hurt, though they may not reveal this except to
their closest companions. INFJs may "silently withdraw as a way of
setting limits", rather than expressing their wounded feelings, a
behaviour that may leave others confused and upset.
-
They tend to be sensitive, quiet leaders with a great depth of
personality. They are intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and
highly complex, sometimes puzzling even to themselves. They have an
orderly view toward the world, but are internally arranged in a complex
way that only they can understand.
-
Abstract in communicating, they live in a world of hidden meanings and
possibilities. With a natural affinity for art, they tend to be creative
and easily inspired; yet they may also do well in the sciences, aided
by their intuition.
