Scoring as an INFJ means that your personality type is best described as Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. Sometimes referred to as the "Advocate" or the "Idealist," people with this personality type often feel misunderstood.
Perhaps it's because INFJ is the rarest MBTI personality type, making up only 1% to 3% of the U.S. population. Or maybe it's because they're walking, talking contradictions. INFJs are easy-going perfectionists. They're both logical and emotional, creative and analytical.

Helper: INFJ personality type can form strong, meaningful connections with other people. They enjoy helping others, but they also need time and space to recharge.

Cognitive Function
Dominant: Introverted Intuition
INFJs tend to be highly focused on their opinions. Once they have formed an intuition about something, INFJs tend to stick to it very tightly, often to the point of being single-minded in their focus. INFJs are sometimes viewed as stubborn and unyielding.
Auxiliary: Extraverted Feeling
INFJs are highly aware of what other people are feeling but are sometimes less aware of their own emotions. They are so attuned to what other people are feeling that they fear causing disappointment or hurt feelings.
Tertiary: Introverted Thinking
INFJs based on ideas and theories that they form based on their own insights.
INFJs rely primarily on their introverted intuition and extroverted feeling when making decisions, particularly when they are around other people.
When alone, however, people with this personality type may rely more on their introverted thinking.
In stressful situations, an INFJ might try to rely on emotions when making decisions,. Under less stressful conditions, an INFJ is more likely to rely on intuition.
Inferior: Extraverted Sensing
While this is a less developed and largely unconscious aspect of the INFJ, it does have an impact on personality.
This aspect of personality helps INFJs pay attention to the world around them and stay aware of their surroundings.
Extroverted sensing also helps INFJs act, rather than simply worry about the future. This aspect of personality also helps INFJs appreciate physical activities such as hiking and dancing.
