Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
With introverted intuition as their main cognitive
function, many of the INFJ personality type’s
innate characteristics stem from this internal
system. Not only does it allow them the ability
to store information accurately through a
web-like map of intricacy, it also gives them
the eerily-accurate skill of future projecting.
This incredible network of information provides
a dreamlike quality that is equally made up of
imaginative ideas as well as concrete facts.
While the majority of this puzzle-like structuring
happens subconsciously, it still requires ample
amounts of solitude. When they’re not using their
alone time to recharge from their subconscious

it often interferes more than they notice. In
fact, not only does the INFJ prefer to spend
time ruminating in their vivid imagination over
socializing with friends, but it tends to take
a good captivating conversation to pull the INFJ
away from their subconscious external analyzing.
At the root of the INFJ’s social skills, and
also considered the main depletor of their
social battery life, extroverted feeling gives
this otherwise introverted type the interest in
human interaction. It is the filter in which they
receive communication from their conversations
and relationships, serving their intuition
but absorbing accurate emotional vibrations
from others. This is what gives the INFJ the
ability to genuinely relate to others while
providing an honest understanding of other
people’s experiences. However, since they
can’t help but to absorb the energetic feelings
of others, they can quickly become depleted.
When they are around happy, up beat people, they
can absorb that feeling but can quickly become
drained by all the energy it takes to keep up. And
on the flipside, they can easily become dragged
down by lower-vibration people, also causing
them to exhaust their energy. In other words,
because they’re challenged with feeling not only
their own feelings, but also that of others,
they must keep their social life to a minimum
in order to keep a proper mental equilibrium.
Number 3: Their hobbies are rarely community-based
you’ll rarely find them willingly catching
community sports team. In fact, once the INFJ has
created their circle of close social relations,
there’s rarely any room or energy for them to
invest into any additional social endeavors.

horticulture, hiking, and the list goes on..
expanding their minds solely in their own company.
With so much emphasis on their internal functions,
the INFJ personality type holds a grounding
This least-developed function allows for the INFJ
to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground,
In fact, the INFJ’s extroverted sensing function
works by helping this introverted intuitive to
be aware of their surroundings by being fully
present and connected to the physical world.
While their extroverted feeling function gives
them the understanding of the people around them,
extroverted sensing gives them the patience
and curiosity to experience the physical world.
Unfortunately, this underdevleoped function
is also where the INFJ sources the energy to

stressed out with a depleted social battery.
themselves when it comes to social surroundings,
there are multiple factors that come into
play. The simplest of aspects such as the
amount of people around, the tone of the social
gathering, the moods of the people associated,
and even the external stimuli such as lighting and
sounds can have an effect on the INFJ’s ability to
actually enjoy the experience. In fact, the ideal
social setting for this introverted personality
type would include only people they are already
familiar with, in a calm and quiet setting.
And even when their preferences are met, duration
can either make or break the INFJ’s interest in
the entire ordeal. Despite their willingness to
adapt to their surroundings combined with their
ability to utilize their chameleon-like social
skills, without these particular ideals the INFJ
social battery life will deplete at record speeds.
This is especially true when they’re required to
analyze and observe new-comers, something
they can’t avoid when meeting new people.
Speaking of being picky with their social
surroundings, there’s no environment where the
introverted intuitive INFJ enjoys spending time in
more than their own imaginative paradise. In fact,
not only does this personality type naturally feel
drawn towards their inner thoughts and fantasies,
but they seem to have this innate feeling of
alienation to their external world because of
it. This makes any type of external interaction,
social or not, feel rather unnatural at times;
of security in their outer world. They’re
constantly expanding their inner universe which
involves the external input of information.
unlike those with extroverted intuition as their
driving function who often feel uninspired unless
they have a steady influx of new experiences,
introverted intuition users do not need a
constant stream of novel stimuli to have new
epiphanies. Which brings us to our next point..
Number 7: Their memory bank can become overloaded
With the constant absorption of new information
through the external environments, the INFJ
tends to have an astounding ‘working memory’.
This means that they can’t help but to retain
numerous facts and details, not only for their
immediate use, but also to analyze later through
their introverted thinking function. While
this allows them the accuracy when it comes
to attention to detail, it also gives them the
ability to retain a bigger picture viewpoint.
of incoming information without the breaks
needed to process, they can end up suffering
When there’s too much coming in and not enough
being organized within the facets of their
imaginative minds, they can fall into the trap of
holding multiple half-thought-out perspectives;
ultimately leading them to feeling trapped and
panicked. This becomes even more challenging when
it’s associated with deciphering the safety
level of new people and new environments.
Number 8: They want to avoid burnout at all costs
Burnout is nothing new to the INFJ personality
type, who tends to ignore their requirements for
social battery. While most INFJs could probably
push themselves past their learned comfort zones
initiative to revert back to their notorious
hermit-mode far before things get out of hand.
In other words, this head-strong personality type
could probably run on empty for longer than most
types, however, their version of empty comes on a
lot quicker; and usually a little more intensely.
So, by the time their social battery begins
giving them warnings such as disinterest in
their surroundings, a continuous drifting
need to find the closest exit, they know it’s
probably time for them to take a step away.
