INFJ

Introverts usually appear quiet, shy and reserved. If you think about the situation from another person’s point of view you’ll probably agree that no doubt it could be difficult for an extrovert to get to know someone they might see as dull or unfriendly. To get over this invisible barrier it’s best to make the effort to help people get to know

A large proportion of writers share the same temperament. We are Highly Sensitive, emotionally-centered, empathic, intuitive, and deeply connected to the earth and our own hearts. We hold very clear values that seem almost inborn, and that rarely change over the course of our lifetimes: compassion, kindness, curiosity, creativity, and acceptance.

being the hardest worker at their job while also supporting friends and family members in whatever way they can. INFJs can be relied on, a trait that quickly makes itself apparent to people. And rely on the INFJ they do. But because INFJs hate saying no and sometimes have trouble being firm about their boundaries, they’re vulnerable to others

Out of all the Sensitive Intuitives (INFJ, INFP, ENFJ or ENFP), it’s my opinion that the INFJ is the most vulnerable to perfectionism.

Once Sensitive Intuitives can see themselves as they really are, not weird but instead highly intelligent, things change dramatically for them. A slowly growing sense of confidence in themselves and their pursuits—including writing—begins to take form.

This is one of the greatest gifts of the INFJ, although sometimes it can feel like a curse. We are pattern-hunters. We are in constant search mode. We are like a heat-seeking missile when it comes to unearthing the depths of the emotional psyche of others. We let our subconscious draw in big gulps of information about people and then we turn inward

my gut tells me that intuitive introverts—the INFJs, INFPs, INTJs, and INTPs—are born different, and that difference includes an odd immunity to group entraining while at the same time an odd susceptibility to one-on-one forms of entraining.

If you’re still not sure where you fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, you can assess yourself here. Answer each question “true” or “false,” choosing the answer that applies to you more often than not.* 1. _______ I prefer one-on-one conversations to group activities. 2. _______ I often prefer to express myself in writing. 3. _______ I enjoy

This is why the unique makeup of INFJs and INFPs is so valuable. Because we have this very weird mix of somehow being immune to entraining with large collectives (like corporations), while at the same time easily entraining with just one other individual (like a reader), anything we put out into the world with a positive message has the potential
