Seen as this unicorn-esc, faultless type,
type must come with a sense of inflated self
Number 2: INFJs are both highly critical & unaccepting
One of the main qualities of a god-complexed
individual is often found in how they criticize
others yet remain closed-off to the criticisms
With such high self-expectations and a sense
of idealism surrounding the performance of
others in certain situations, INFJs certainly
do have a habit of either criticizing those
they love directly, or thinking critical thoughts
Although these critical thoughts come from
their never-ending evaluation and problem
solving processes that happen in their minds,
their genuine intentions are often misled
more hard-hitting for some people as it often
comes with an underlying truth that the other
person has intentionally shied away from accepting.
Luckily, or unluckily, the INFJ knows exactly
how it feels to not want to accept criticisms.
Ironically, despite their overhaul of critical
thoughts towards both themselves and others,
INFJs can be completely thrown off guard both
mentally and emotionally when criticized by

Apprehensive to take the advice of others,
the INFJ personality type does in fact believe
that they know what’s best for themselves.

self-opinion when it comes to their own intelligence
tends to go far beyond not taking the advice
In fact, although the INFJ is sincerely humble
to deem themselves as more clever than the
God-complex related or not, INFJs know that
they can not only see through other’s BS,
but that they also hold a deep and well-thought-out
Through their introverted intuition and thinking
functions, they are inevitably gifted with
extremely complex evaluation and observation
And while this sense of intelligence comes
with both its benefits and its challenges,
the self-image can contribute to why others
would assume they hold a delusion of grandeur,
Number 4: INFJs can feel special when their
If you ask any INFJ what changed when they
began diving deeper into the complexities
of their personality type, most would say
there was an undeniable shift in their world.
There’s an unspoken sense of belonging and
self-acceptance when the INFJ discovers their
Growing up with the awareness that they are
indeed quite different from their peers, self-hatred
and confusion aren’t exactly foreign feelings
Through years of knowing something is a little
off, without being able to put their finger
on it, there's a sense of power that comes
when the INFJ finally begins to discover why
Once they begin exploring the depths of their
unique functions and habits, and how to use
them to their advantage, this personality
type gains a new-found freedom that can make
them finally feel like they belong somewhere.
To others, this self-expandedness can seem
Number 5: A healthy INFJ’s confidence can
Depending on where the INFJ is within their
personal journey of self-discovery, they can
either be extremely discontent with life or
When the INFJ is discontent, they can come
off as much more relatable to the average
person by holding conversations surrounding
However, when the INFJ has reached a sense
of self-awareness and fulfillment, they tend
to subconsciously carry themselves with an
eerie sense of gratification that instantly
With contagious kindness and an unwavering
unbothered attitude, their demeanor can cause
doubt within others, leading them to wonder
Not to mention, this confidence and self-assuredness
can result in interactions or conversational
topics that other people who aren’t on the
same wavelength find difficult engaging in.
And while the INFJ isn’t purposefully trying
to rub their happiness in people’s faces,
the aura of ease they project can cause some
serious judgments and assumptions of the INFJ’s
Number 6: Being an INFJ is like being a part
When exploring the ground of the MBTI theory,
you’ll notice there's a specific focus on
Once known as the rarest type, because of
the noticeable focus surrounding this type,

as if most INFJs are only wanting the INFJ
label in order to obtain this invisible VIP

mental challenges that are difficult to navigate.
As a matter of fact, that’s what most INFJ
groups and advice columns are littered with.
Number 7: INFJs are missing a few key ‘god-complex’
Overall, to be given the label of having a
As we mentioned, having a clinically-diagnosed
quality of a heightened sense of self can
be a key attribute to an overall personality
disorder such as being a narcissist or sociopath.
To hold a true god-complex, firstly, one needs
to be indifferent to how their actions affect
others, something that is nearly impossible
for the extroverted-feeling INFJ to accomplish.
INFJs are always thinking about the future
consequences of their actions and how they
affect everyone involved, even if it means
avoiding boundaries and putting themselves
Secondly, to have a god-complex one needs
to believe that they are entitled to special
