INFJ

INFJ
An INFJ is just one of the 16 personality types shown by the myers-briggs personality test. Only one percent of the worlds population actually has this personality type and therefore any INFJ find that they may never meet another person just like them. The letters stand for Intoverted iNtuitive Feeling judging

Although INFJ tend to act a quiet types, they care about causes they believe in and are generally fighting for the cause not the power that come with it. INFJ's are usually quite opressed and are often found in emergencies rescuing those who are in distress, although INFJ's may want to get revenge on those who play on the defenseless- 'poetic justice' is appealing.

INFJ's are particualary cautious, not easily pulled into a trap, they can take a very long time to trust a person, even if the person is a family member. When INFJ's find a friend, they believe that friendship is a bond that is extremely impotant and expect others to believe that way.

INFJ's often have a fluency in language, also they are quite sensitive to people's feelings leading to them being able to pinpoint how a person is feeling internally.Writing may also be where a INFJ finds great enjoyment.

Personality
INFJ's tend to have a very complex character which is why many don't understand them, also INFJ's generally have a great range of talents sometimes suprising even themselves with what they can achieve. INFJ's tend to be idealists, and they are generally do-ers aswell a dreamers because of their J trait. This means that many INFJ's end up taking a large aount of responsibility in causes which they are seemingly drawn to.

Because of the INFJ's Feeling trait, they may at first seem quite extroverted because they genrally care about people and their relationships with them not just the world on ther whole. However INFJ's choose particularly carefully who will be their long-term friends, family or 'soul mates.' They will often find themselves helping others in need, then suddenly INFJ's will withdraw into themselves, shutting out others. This is because being generally quite emotionally giving, they use this mechanism to rebuild theor resources and escape from the emotional overload. This is perhaps one of the reasons why INFJ's are often misunderstood especially by those who have never encounted this type before.

Due to this detachment from the world around them, INFJ's have great insight into motivations for why people do certain things, whether for good or bad. The ot important factor for this comes from the feeling trait which is heightened by the introvert trait.

IFJ's tend to have may conflicts inside themselves and it may be due to the conflict between the combinations of the traits; for example, between NF-vision and the J that urges compromise and then the I and J combination, which makes it difficult for INFJ's to speak out their feelings. Usually INFJ's tend to write down their feelings and generally have a strong charisma leading to 'inspirational' jobs such as teaching. But INFJ's tend to be hard to place in particular jobs, especially as many INFJ's find that in technical fields they cannot deal with the logic. Although some INFJ's end up being successful in those fields because the iNtuition trait leads to abstract theroies and creativity.

INFJ's lives are generally built around others and in making other lives a little easier they often find their lives easier. It may be harder to undertand these complex individuals,but they have many talents that although cannot be measuresd numerically, benefit the people around them on a greater scale.
