Visionaries
INFJs are visionaries and idealists who ooze creative imagination and brilliant ideas. They have
a different, and usually more profound, way of looking at the world. They have substance and
depth in the way they think, never taking anything at surface level or accepting things the way
they are. Others may sometimes perceive them as weird or amusing because of their different
outlook on life.

Intuitive
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex, and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they
live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. While they place great importance on
order, they can also be spontaneous because they intuitively understand things without being
able to pinpoint why. This makes INFJs less systematic and orderly than other Judging types.

Empathic
An INFJ's intuition is usually one of their strongest qualities. They have uncanny insight into
people and situations. They're good at reading people and can sense other people’s emotions.
They're careful not to hurt anybody through their words and actions. They always lend a hand
to people who need help because they're compassionate and empathic.

Complicated
The INFJ personality is one of the most complicated. INFJs appear to be quiet and reserved,
and they stay away from social events where they have to mingle with other people. INFJs
tend to be secretive and don’t like situations in which they would have to open up to others. It
takes time for them to trust people, and they would go so far as testing whether a person
deserves their trust before spilling any private information.

Creative
At work, their creativity makes them stand out. They are planners and strategists who respect
rules and deadlines. They get things done systematically, but they also understand things
without concrete or tangible facts. They just know through their gut feelings.

Stubborn
INFJs are firm and usually stubborn. They stay close to their pre-set values and may find it hard
to accept other people’s opinions. Their temper gets triggered when another person questions
their beliefs and principles. They stand firm and never back down from what they've already
said. No matter how reserved they are, they don’t mind engaging in arguments or debates
when their views get challenged.

Mysterious
INFJs can be difficult to understand, and that might cause them to be secretive, making them
even more mysterious. But they're genuinely warm and caring with their friends and family.
INFJs have a depth that not all personality types possess. They see life in a different light and
this makes them unique.

Strengths & Weaknesses

INFJs welcome mornings with optimism and the see the world with endless possibilities. While
other personality types take it slow and savor the moment, the mind of an INFJ is in the future,
imagining things that excite them. These endless ideas and possibilities drive their daily lives.

allowing them to support a cause they believe in. Second, it’s normal for them to find value for
each possible opportunity that c...

 How You Come Across
When it comes to dealing with other people, for the INFJ it’s “slowly but surely.” When meeting
a new person, they don’t talk a lot and don’t offer up much information about themselves. They
can appear too strong and silent, even intimidating, which drives people away. They are often
misunderstood, sending wrong signals that they are not interested in building friendships.

However, when they see...
