Idealists, like people of the other temperaments,
are found in all fields, although not in nearly the

rewarding. They need to believe in their work and
to be able to see the positive impact it has on the
greater good. Idealists like their work environment

INFJs are complex, creative people with deep feel

sometimes a bit uncomfortable in social situations,
INFJs generally prefer dealing with people one

trate all their attention on the other person. They
are usually very good listeners, skilled at generat
ing enlightened and creative solutions to people's
problems. INFJs are generally not very demonstra

usually erect and they walk and move with real
purpose. INFJs often have strong opinions based
on their values and convictions, and once they
have staked out a position, it may be very difficult
to convince them to change it. Their language is
