Never Test The Infj (Or This Will Happen) explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
In a world of competition, power-seeking and the
challenge of having to be better than one another,
the INFJ isn’t interested in proving themselves
to anyone but themselves. Test an INFJ and you’ll
learn the hard way that they’re natural gifts
don’t allow for ego-boosting or power-tripping,
embarrassed by the INFJ’s mysterious ways.

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
When people feel the need to test other people’s
limits, there’s usually some aspect of underlying
power that is desired. For example, narcissists
test the manipulation potential of their victims
before they fully invest their narcissistic
ways upon the relationship to ensure they
won’t be challenged. For the INFJ who has
easily recognize unideal behaviors in others.
INFJs don’t tolerate people that intentionally
interfere with the hard-earned harmony they’re
or even family dynamics, when INFJs realize the
ulterior motives of people, it removes the power
that the beholder is so convinced they have
over the INFJ. While this sensitive type may
play into mind games, they can easily stand their
ground should they be pushed past their limits.
When an unhealthy INFJ is tested in particular,
they may turn to using their innate abilities of
reading others as an unfair advantage. Through
MBTI research it is said time and time again that
when you think you know an INFJ, you can be almost
certain they know you on a deeper level. So, while
some people think that using the nurturing nature
of the INFJ to test them is a good idea, they
may reach into their bag of intuitive finds to
pull-out something that really makes the provoker
think otherwise. Although even the darkest
of INFJs usually doesn’t want to hurt others,
they may mention things surrounding a sensitive
topic with the hopes of that other person
re-evaluating their decision of testing the INFJ.
Subtle remarks and deep-seated questions is
how the INFJ casually communicates that there
The INFJ personality type is certainly equipped to
put up with a certain level of negativity in their
lives, but everyone comes with a breaking point.
Normally kind, caring and empathetic, when the
INFJ is provoked time and time again, there’s
no telling when that breaking point may be.
While they don’t always give much verbal warning
beforehand, the INFJ will definitely make it
apparent that they’re unimpressed before they
resort to a full blown out lash. Luckily, these
are pretty rare, and would have to be triggered by
something seriously detrimental to their emotional
and mental well-being. As a matter of fact, this
lashing out behavior can be considered a defense
mechanism, designed to keep the INFJ’s sensitive
intuition and feelings away from burnout.
Depending on who is testing the INFJ and how, they
may resort to building their walls even higher,
to the point of no entry. Utilizing the classic
fight or flight responses, the INFJ either
becomes enraged enough to outlash or disappointed
enough to step back for good. The thing with INFJ
and the silent treatment is that they don’t
use it to punish the provoker, but instead
use it in place of an outlash. This is what makes
them such an expert, because once they’ve resorted
to the silent treatment, it’s nearly impossible
to get them back to where you once had them.
intentionally to let someone know they are upset,
yet other times it is simply because the INFJ
really needs space and time to recharge. And this
is when INFJs walk away and rarely look back..
Which is why they’re notorious for the famous INFJ
door slam. They will shut down and retreat inward
in order to avoid dealing with the conflict.
Their unmatched listening skills and caring
nature allows them to be some of the most
understanding people on the planet. When these
INFJ strengths are taken for granted however,
In fact, it isn’t exactly easy or effortless
for the INFJ to absorb the feelings of others
day in and day out. With a short social battery
life and a need to deeply ruminate about their
thoughts - giving other people care and love may
be one of the most exhausting aspects of this
rare type. And so they need to be picky with where
they donate their time. Not just anyone deserves
an INFJs kindness, and testing them is a sure
way to end your subscription to these benefits.
The INFJ personality type may be known for taking
offense to criticisms, but that doesn’t mean that
they don’t take them as a lesson. INFJs are
known to opt for more unorthodox interests and
lifestyles, yet it doesn’t come easy. As a matter
of fact, this type more than most are familiar
with being questioned for their decisions,
envied for their strengths and even challenged
on their beliefs. And so, INFJs eventually learn
to use these tests as fuel to excel. They may be
considered overly sensitive, unrealistic dreamers
and out of touch with reality.. But with class
and composure, this driven type will constantly
prove people’s assumptions wrong in life,
using their intuition as their main guide
and others' negative opinions as their power!
Go ahead and challenge an INFJ to do something
that doesn’t interest them, just know you’ll be
wasting your time. When INFJs are pushed towards
a goal, a dream or a life change that doesn’t sit
well with them, it’s almost impossible to convince
them otherwise. INFJs have deep-rooted morals and
values and a strong intuition that allows them
to make the best decisions for themselves. So,
INFJ care about something that they simply
don’t care about. For example, if they don’t
want to compete for the top position at work,
they won’t try to just because other people think
it’s the best thing for them. INFJs mind their
own business and don't feel the need to prove
their worthiness through unhealthy competition.
Number 8: They will humbly prove your wrong
INFJs are tested at every point in their life.
They may seem too quiet for a social position,
too intuitive for a corporate setting, too out
of the box for traditional school settings,
make it anywhere in this physical reality,
they end up proving a lot of people wrong.
tested or challenged on their capabilities,
they usually take it as a chance to humbly
prove themselves to others. They’re quick
learners and natural intuitives, which give them
the advantage of excelling in a number of hobbies,
even at their first go. For example, people
may argue with an INFJ ‘s intuitive findings
With proving people wrong comes a great challenge
to the ego. Being one of the most targeted
personality types amongst narcissists, on the
outside the INFJ seems like a great candidate
for being manipulated and taken advantage of.
With a reserved and quiet essence, people may
pick at the INFJ to watch them squirm and attempt
to prove themselves for their own enjoyment.
But they realize soon enough that that’s not
the case. When INFJs humbly prove others wrong,
person.. A realization that’s long overdue.
Their seemingly powerful ego wilts in the
matter of minutes, leaving the provoker feeling
embarrassed and shocked. They make such an impact
that the provoker ends up questioning themselves
demeanors. In fact, a simple challenge to
the INFJ can change someone’s entire perspective
on the capabilities of introverts and intuitives.
