All About the INFJ Personality Type

Being artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.

INFJ's enjoy building deep relationships with a few close people.

INFJ's are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals.

They prefer to work quietly, behind the scenes.

INFJs tend to be devoted to what they believe in and seek work where their needs, values, and ideals can be deeply engaged.

Thus INFJ's are focused on an inner world rather than the external sensory world.

They are very creative, smart, and prefer to focus on fantasy more than reality.
