INFJ

INFJ (Introverted intuitive Feeling Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics. These personality types are determined for an individual by a set of multiple choice questions. Once evaluated, the resulting score will show a series of letters with corresponding numbers, in this case INFJ.

Referring to Keirsey, INFJs belong to the temperament of the idealists and are called Counselors.

MBTI cognitive functions
The attributes of each personality form a hierarchy. This represents the person's "default" pattern of behavior in their day to day life. The Dominant is the personality type's preferred role, the task they feel most comfortable with. The auxilary function is the role they feel the next most comfortable with. It serves to support and expand on the dominant function. One of these first two will always be an information gathering function (Sensing or, in the INFJ case, Intuition) and the other will be a decision making function (Thinking or, in the INFJ case, Feeling). The tertiary function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxillary functions, but tends to develop in mid-life; it provides roundness of ability. The inferior function is the personality type's Achille's heel and may be most evident under stress. This is the function they are least comfortable with. Like the tertiary function, this function usually becomes stronger with maturity.
