Living As An INFJ

INFJ Traits And Cognitive Functions

Here's a link before we start off:

INFJ is also called the Advocate or the Idealist, Google and you'll see why.

And so, today we'll discuss the characteristics of an INFJ.

Firstly, they are compassionate. They can understand everyone's views, even if they may not show it.

For example, some INFJs say "get well soon" in their heads when they see an ambulance go by, or whisper "ouch! Are you okay?" to a stranger with an injury.

A few days ago, one of my friends wanted help with something, and I made a Canva presentation with a bunch of info in it to help them. INFJs go a long way to help others.

Idealism: When INFJs have something finalized, it's finalized. No doubt. When they set their mind on something fully, they won't let anyone get in their way.

Organized: INFJs like to be organized. Organization for them doesn't mean keeping a neat environment, because they get more creativity in a messy room, but they love planners, schedules, and alarms.

Both emotional and logical: When they make a decision, they think about the impact, who'll get hurt from it or not, but they also think of the most logical, smartest approach.

Here are strengths of INFJs:

-Reserved: They don't share info they know is gonna put them or someone else in danger, such as their address or phone number.

-Highly creative: INFJs have such a vivid imagination, they imagine every detail, clearly, from all perspectives. When I imagine the months of a year, for example, my mind takes me to a white screen with a square diagram, with four months on three sides and three months on one side, and it can zoom in to a week or day, change direction and show an overview of the month.

-Focused on the future: INFJs are constantly thinking about and planning their future. At twelve years old, I had my future plans all sorted out and finalized, and I constantly plan names for my future children, what I'll teach them when I homeschool them, etc.

-Value close and deep relationships. Though INFJs are ambiverts (we'll discuss that in the next chapter), they prefer deep conversations over small talk, and they need trust and empathy in a relationship.

Here are some weaknesses of INFJs:

-Difficult to get to know: They have very vivid and complex lives, their lives have so many aspects, and their brains are full of ideas, opinions, and thoughts. We'll discuss this in the NEXT NEXT chapter.

-Hopes too high: As an INFJ, I've realized that when I keep my hopes low, I'm more satisfied with life. We'll discuss this in the NEXT NEXT NEXT chapter.

-Dislikes confrontation. I mean, you get what it means.

Here is a very very very very long passage about INFJs: INFJs are very focused on insights and patterns, and their intuition can predict the future very well. INFJs are viewed as stubborn, but it's good for them because they stick up for their expectations and values. INFJs can read emotions from facial expressions, body language and context. INFJs use their insight to make decisions and that makes them very responsible decision makers. INFJs are aware of their surroundings, always careful, and cautious.

Here is a passage I found from an article:

INFJs also have a talent for language and are usually quite good at expressing themselves. They have a vivid inner life but are often hesitant to share this with others, except for those closest to them. While they are quiet and sensitive, INFJs can also be . Even when they don't take on overt leadership roles, they often act as quiet influencers behind the scenes.

INFJs are driven by their strong values and seek out meaning in all areas of their lives including relationships and work. People with this type of personality are often described as deep and complex. INFJs may not have a huge circle of acquaintances, but their close friendships tend to be remarkably close and long-lasting.

INFJs are interested in helping others and making the world a better place. They tend to be excellent listeners and are good at interacting with people which whom they are emotionally close and connected. While they care deeply about others, INFJs tend to be introverted and only willing to share their "true selves" with a select few. After being in social situations, INFJs need time to themselves to "recharge."

Here is also a list of recommended INFJ careers: Artist, actor, musician, librarian, counselor, psychologist, writer, teacher, photographer. We'll discuss these in detail in the NEXT NEXT NEXT NEXT chapter.

And now, I needa catch my breath and start working on the next chapter.
