I recently took the Myers Briggs Personality
test for a little fun and found out I apparently
fall into the INFJ personality type, INFJ
standing for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling
and Judgment.
Apparently, this is the rarest personality
type in the world with less than 3% of people
falling into this category, with INFJs exhibiting
idealistic values, but realistic or pragmatic
practicality.
It got me thinking, how can someone identify
if they might have an INFJ personality?
Well, in this video we look at signals that
you might have an INFJ personality type...
1.
You're Introverted
- INFJs are naturally introverted people,
who have little desire in socialising in large
groups, such as at parties or social events
- Instead, INFJS may feel happier with having
a more intimate and closer relationship with
a smaller group of people, those they trust
and understand
- That doesn't mean INFJs are uncomfortable
in social situations, and may be misunderstood
as extroverts if talking about something important
to them
- Something I've come across myself, as people
have believed I'm naturally extroverted due
to certain behaviours I show
2.
You're an Idealist
- An INFJ has very strong beliefs about the
world and what changes they would like to
see in it, usually related to personal values
and ideals
- As a result, it can be very difficult to
sway certain opinions of an INFJ, as they
got very clear reasons as to why they believe
what they do
- This might appear as quite a stubborn attitude
to have, but sometimes it's invaluable too
in achieving your goals
- For example, Mahatma Gandhi, an INFJ, achieved
phenomenal results as he fought for India's
freedom against British Rule due to his unwillingness
to concede on his ideals
3.
You Judge People On Feeling
- INFJs naturally build close relationships
to people, especially when they get opportunities
to spend time with them individually
- This can help build extremely close friendships,
which can lead to a great deal and trust and
people being made to feel special as they
are unique in the eyes of the INFJ
- However, this can also lead to a lot of
emotional charge in the relationships, which
influences the views of the INFJ and how they
feel about people
- Therefore someone may do something seemingly
innocuous to an INFJ, but this can have a
great effect on the INFJ has on the person,
as they focus on how the person made them
feel, not necessarily just what they did
4.
You're Constantly Thinking
- As with all introverts, INFJs are in constant
thought throughtout the day as they reflect
on various things in the world
- This range from thoughts about their own
personal lives or people around them, but
can often be of larger scope, about world
issues or other far ranging thoughts
- They also have the desire to learn new things,
whether it be information or new skills, learning
is often a pleasure and fulfilling experience
for INFJ
- A good example of someone who fits this
profile as an INFJ is infamous Psychologist
Carl Jung
5.
You Have a Vision
- INFJs often have a vision of how they see
life and these are often looking ahead into
the future and knowing what they want to achieve
- This isn't too surprising when you consider
the previous point on thinking, as they spend
a lot of time reflecting about life and the
world they live in
- A potential flaw with this though is it's
easy to lose focus on the present, which is
equally important
- Therefore, having relationships with people
that are well grounded can be highly beneficial
for an INFJ
