Why Every Team Needs An Infj explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Whether we’re talking about school projects,
sports competitions, or navigating through
life in general, there’s something about having
the INFJ personality type around that brings
a positive and efficient atmosphere. With their
unique approach and understanding, they’re able
to bring a specific angle to most things, but why
else is it worth it to have the INFJ on your team?

Alright, let’s get right into it, starting with..
enough care to be a sorry loser. And while
there’s a competitive bone in every INFJ’s
body that encourages them that drives them
the main traits of a positively competitive
person is their ability to remain calm in
times of conflict and unexpected obstacles,
which seems to be one of the calm and collected
INFJ’s best traits. Yet, aside from this,
their competitiveness is especially apparent
which may be rooted in their innate efforts
to please others and avoid disappointments.
The INFJ’s strong suit lies within challenges
or competitions that require brain-power and
problem solving rather than physical matters.
INFJs love a good challenge that calls on their
ability to combine creative brainstorming and
interpreting other’s ideas. Although they can
and most likely will be happy for the winning
team, regardless of if it’s their own or not,
they can’t help but to apply their perfectionistic
social settings, especially when it comes
to debate, however, that’s not the case when
their name is attached to the final result.
INFJs will choose the easy route of keeping
quiet and avoiding confrontation when they can,
but when it’s necessary for their own success,
this personality type actually has the ability
to be unapologetically veracious. Matching their
critical analysis of everything around them, INFJs
usually end up keeping a lot of their thoughts
to themselves. Yet, if they see a team project
heading in the wrong direction, or they notice
an obvious flaw in a team-members' game-plan,
they’ll certainly say something. Luckily,
they don’t just criticize for the sake of it,
but instead, try their best to explain their
viewpoint. And while some team members may resent
them for it in the moment, they’ll end up thanking
them in the long run when the INFJ’s elaborate and
carefully executed plan benefits the entire team.
One thing about the reserved INFJ personality
type is that they tend to feel easily bonded
with people who they’re stuck to overcome
friendship that evolved due to similar life
struggles, a long term partner who they’ve
grown closer with through occasional conflict,
or team members they’re challenged to work with
in order to achieve something great. There’s
something about problem solving with another
that allows the INFJ the necessary information
about a person that results in them letting
their guard down. While they may still take
a back-seat approach to their input in fear
of domineering and pushing their passionate
view points, the last thing they want to do
is come off as unapproachable to their team
members. In fact, if the INFJ were to think
of the friends they’ve made over the years,
it’s most likely people they’ve had to overcome
similar challenges with. Be it a coworker who
they’ve had to overcome work challenges with,
a school mate who understood the challenges of
their lessons, or a family member that they’ve
shared similar toxic environments with, their
personability thrives in these types of scenarios.
If there’s one thing the INFJ team member won’t
advocate for, it’s any suggestion that involves
cutting corners or cheating. Despite the fact
that they’ve probably already thought of every
possible way one could skimp out seemingly
unnecessary steps, INFJs can’t help but to do
things the right way. Of course, their creative
ability allows them to constantly think of ways
idea of dishonesty. As a matter of fact, most
INFJs would choose losing fairly over winning
unfairly in a heartbeat, and they encourage this
mentality to their teammates as well. Luckily,
with the combination of their highly analytical
skills and this moral high ground that the INFJ
consistently runs on, they’re able to efficiently
pick up on opposing team’s strategies. So,
while the INFJ may not encourage the fastest
Speaking of the INFJ’s ability to think of
the most efficient ways of working smarter,
not harder, this introverted intuitive type brings
incomparable vision to any team they become a
part of. In fact, one of the major defining
characteristics of the INFJ is their impressive
scope of vision. With the tendency to think big
and long term, they’re continuously calculating
other’s input in order to expand or improve
the scope of their team member’s propositions.
They’re known for their birds-eye-view perspective
that ultimately gives them a unique advantage of
overlooking all angles and potential outcomes of
every possible route being suggested. They don’t
override other’s ideas through egotistical
means, but instead, efficiently listens and
considers other’s ideas in order for them to
later connect the dots and form a collective
vision. No matter the team-setting or goal, the
INFJ’s perception of the world adds a layer of
encouragement to their teammates to be more bold
and ambitious due to their noticeable perspective
of infinite possibility. This allows even those
who aren’t really interested to be inspired by
the INFJ’s subtle enthusiasm, awakening the
hesitant idealist that lies within everyone.
Number 6: Their research skills are unmatched
This knowledge-thirsty personality type remains
persistently curious about the world around them.
They’re in a constant pursuit of new information,
improved innovation, and self-improvement
that ultimately makes them the knowledgeable
high-achiever they are. Yet, when it comes to the
things they're most recently passionate about,
this need for a deeper understanding can take
on a whole new level of intensity. When passion
comes into play, it’s not uncommon for the INFJ
to resort to shutting out the world in order
to become completely enthralled in the topic.
Their research skills become their main tactic in
learning as much about the topic at hand in order
to show up to their team as informed and efficient
as possible. As a matter of fact, there’s nothing
the INFJ enjoys more than deep-diving into a
specific topic, especially if it will benefit
more than just themselves. Rooted in this
passion, they’ll happily explore, investigate
and examine every relevant piece of information to
eventually present an easy-to-understand synopsis
of information to their teammates. Like we said
before, INFJs are most efficient when it comes
to brain-power competitions and challenges because
they are already naturally apt to mental training.
Number 7: They never dodge accountability
As we mentioned before, INFJs value honesty far
beyond their need to win or to be right. Although
the INFJ brings incredible strengths to any team
due to their keen brainstorming skills, it doesn’t
mean there aren’t flaws in their suggestions
at times. No matter how much ruminating and
experimentation they do, there are always times
that their calculations are off. Despite the
grueling retaliation that may have been the reason
their team went down, taking accountability is
a must for the INFJ who is always looking
for self-improvement. There’s nothing more
valued than their need to build a strong sense of
trust and reliability within their connections,
and that includes their relationships with their
fellow team members. While falling short of their
vision may seem like it would create a perspective
of incompetence in the eyes of their teammates,
the INFJ’s ability to recognize their flaws
actually results in the opposite effect. This
approach not only allows for their fellow team
members to understand that making mistakes is
completely accepted especially if the INFJ is
in a leadership position, but it also allows
for the INFJ to collectively analyze with their
team to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
