Well INFJs.. You knew it was coming. There’s
no way around the fact that this introverted
personality type comes off as reserved, private,
and even slightly anti-social at times. Sure,
their energy to fit that of another person,
but deep down inside they much prefer to keep
to themselves. To put it simply, if INFJs could
socialize without talking they would happily
observe from afar, in fact, being a fly on
the wall is the INFJ’s favorite social scenario.
And this doesn’t go unnoticed by others. In fact,
get-togethers before the INFJ even touches
the surface of speaking their minds. However, the
good side to this noticeable quality is people
notice that the INFJ shows a great respect for
personal space and social boundaries. Although
they will usually keep their emotions at a certain
distance from others, it usually comes off as them
being a bit more formal throughout their social
interactions, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
But despite their reserved nature, other people
will quite often find them to be quite pleasant
company, and many people tend to feel oddly
secure and comfortable enough to be open and
adjectives that the INFJ wouldn’t be surprised
to be described as. They’re constantly reflecting,
analyzing, observing and introspecting on life and
everything in it. And although their reserved
nature doesn’t always prompt them to share
their analytical findings with others, their
deep demeanor is noticeable from the outside
looking in. They may be seen staring off into the
distance, reiterating their past experiences, or
pushing to connect with people’s emotional sides.
Rooted in this reflective and nostalgic-based
energy comes a slight intensity that hints at
the depth they hold. However, without knowing
the INFJ’s imaginative thought processes, one
could easily mistaken this intensity as intense
seriousness, making them seem rather strict
and stern, which is certainly a misconception.
energy, people with the INFJ personality type
can be perceived as a considerably graceful and
sophisticated individual in the eyes of others.
Depending on the setting and person, this quiet
nature can come across as quite an attractive
appeal with an essence of mysteriousness.
Although they can morph their demeanor to
match others like we’ve mentioned, they have
an unwavering poise and politeness that is
never not apparent. This gives the INFJ’s inner
beauty a spotlight to shine outside of their
physical looks showing others how charming and
courteous they really are. The best part of it
all is that this grace comes with an obvious
it really doesn't matter who it is they’re
talking to, they’ll always show up gracefully.
the INFJ as just plain weird.. and they’re not
exactly wrong. INFJs are extremely unique and
often don’t relate to a lot of the world or the
people in it. So, it’s understandable that their
discomfort within the world is kind of noticeable
to others. Whether it’s their deep life questions,
their reluctance to open up about themselves,
or the simple fact that there’s not many people
like them in the world.. Some people walk
away from a social engagement with an INFJ
and can’t help but to think ‘what an interesting
person’. Sure, the INFJ could have very well been
doing their best to mirror the other person’s
energies, but even then, their natural opinions
Not only do they know what’s going on at every
level in their lives, whether it be the recent
drama at work, or the state of the world, but they
also have an opinion about it. They’ve analyzed it
from every angle, viewed it from every perspective
and dived head first to get the closest thing
to truth behind the chaos as they can. This
gives them both accuracy and a particularly
non-bias stance that gives other people the
sense of non-judgmental openness to deepen a
conversation. And that’s the only thing INFJs
really hope for when socializing with others.
One of the first things people will pick up on
about the INFJ personality type within minutes
of meeting them is their old soul. It’s not rare
for this independent and grounded type to have
been told more than once that they seem mature
for their age. With these non-bias insights,
for materialism, their innate need for solitude,
their desire to go against the status quo and
their philosophical view of life, some INFJs feel
themselves that they’re wise beyond their years,
into a welcoming and comforting energy that
people feel drawn to without much effort.
INFJs are sensitive beings in more ways than
one. Whether it be sensitive to outer stimuli
like loud noises and large crowds, emotionally
sensitive to other people’s energies and violence,
or mentally sensitive to constructive criticisms,
no amount of tough exterior will hide their
sensitivities as time goes on. Of course,
INFJs will do whatever it takes to bear the human
experience of any of the mentioned sensitivities,
a wimp or a burden to a social gathering.
But for the most part, it doesn’t take long before
someone witnesses one of the many sensitives an
Seemingly domineering with their perfectionistic
exterior, yet deeply appreciative and playful
for some people that try to win them over.
Whether it’s in a romantic setting or even
Like most of the INFJs contradictory habits,
this difficulty to satisfy can make the INFJ
come off as slightly more strict than they
really are. It may make them seem like they
think nothing is ever good enough when in reality
they just have a particular vision that they know
can be achieved somehow. And they’ll probably try
their best to let you off as easily as possible.
Named the advocate and the counselor of the
16 personality types, the empathic INFJ can’t
help but to put other people before them. They
are pleasers by heart and actually find true
joy and satisfaction from doing so. And not
only do they genuinely want to help others,
but they don’t think it’s such a crazy-kind
thing to do either. They see human-decency as
a natural trait and they’re confused when other
people lack it. However, one thing people also
may pick up on is that sometimes INFJs care for
others to a degree that ends up being harmful
to their own good. By being of service to another
at a cost to themselves can end up attracting all
the wrong people, and that’s when empathy
becomes a serious challenge for this type.
person, or even a group of people and they
will easily be able to match their energy.
Sure, people may just think that they’re a
naturally social or even extroverted type who
gets along well with others, but once someone
sees the INFJ connect with different types
of people using different levels of charm,
it’s clear there’s more going on there than
they’d originally realized. Because of this
mirroring ability, some may end up wondering who
the INFJ really is beneath their camouflage-cloak,
