morals, meaning they have little room for

to even be slightly interested in talking

about political matters, nevermind getting

With a lack of creativity and observation,

replying to countless emails and phone calls

into new offers, discounts and sales that

usually come with customer representative

pretty cringed out when they go against their

intuitive notions for the sake of their job.

INFJs want to help and save people, but not

Similar to the customer service sector, it

may seem like paramedics and other people-saving

careers would be right up an INFJs alley,

Despite their natural problem-solving instincts,

INFJs are much more equipped to deal with

long-term problems rather than quick-thinking

Sure, they can manage working under pressure

when it’s called for but these short-term

problem solving careers leave little room

for the INFJ to complete their in-depth analysis

Instead, people-helping careers such as counsellors,

therapists and social workers tend to be a

such as the army, air force or navy require

2 things the INFJ isn’t willing to go without.

In these types of service careers you are

trained to follow orders without question,

and seems that INFJs tend to question just

the deeper meaning behind it, blindly following

orders isn’t anywhere near fitting for this

day after day with little-to-no proof of real

growth or contribution to a bigger picture,

Plus, the work environment is far from ideal.

Loud noises, interrupting coworkers, bright

lights and repetitive tasks are nothing short

of a nightmare for this highly sensitive type

that is so influenced by their surroundings.

An INFJ police would probably let a lot of

people get away with only a slap on the hand.

Considering the INFJ’s stereotypical tendency

to give everyone they meet the benefit of

the doubt, this empathetic type would certainly

have difficulties with maintaining sternness

end of society, most INFJs also have a reluctance

to conform to the rules and regulations that

With a required keen eye for detail and an

unavoidable high stress workplace with high

expectations, the creativity that goes into

being a chef eventually becomes not as fun
