> An INFJ is the overthinker of the overthinkers. It’s like that meme that says, “We get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.” Only an INFJ, when extremely hurt, can block people out of nowhere without prior notice. No wonder this personality type is also called The Prophet. We have bigger issues on our minds, like saving the world. We never bother with taking revenge, though. > We forgive, but we completely detach ourselves from those who hurt us. > Our hobbies include writing, reading, music, photography, and theater, and we will most probably choose a career we are passionate about. > We dream big, and by big, I mean beliefs, visions, and solutions that include the entire planet and even some others, as well-just ask Elon Musk. > We don’t trust 99.99 percent of humans, while we might easily trust any animal-although we do love humanity in an extremely compassionate way, from afar. > We love to be touched by specific people at specific times, but in general, we usually flinch at the idea of people invading our personal space. > We are always so worried about annoying the people we love with our attention and text messages that we end up annoying them. > We really dislike crowds, public speaking, and being in the spotlight unless it is necessary and for a good cause. Quite the independent type, an INFJ might look needy when in love. If someone is ever loved by an INFJ, they will never experience this kind of fierce love again. > Deep conversations with our kind of people are everything otherwise, we might not talk for days. > We are highly functioning introverts because we are nearly always driven by a bigger cause. > We like simple things, and we don’t really like what other people consider fun. I believe that the quote that best describes this type would be, “You, he said, are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.” ~ Emilie Autumn Here are some of the traits that INFJs have in common: Thinkers find me too emotional, while feelers find me too rational, and thus, I end up not fitting in except with the one percent. To the folks who do not take the time to get to know me or those who make their own conclusions (because communication needs effort), it looks like I am double-faced or, even worse, with double personalities. Therefore, I am a mix between the counselor and the mastermind because once my mind takes control, my feelings stop working, depending on the situation. Years later, after working on my EQ, spirituality, and acknowledging the existence of love and human emotions, I took the test again twice, and the result came as mostly INFJ with some INTJ traits. The first time I took the test, the result was mostly INTJ. It was shocking because, on a personal level, it took me years to finally understand why I feel, think, act, and don’t fit in the way I do, and the first step toward that “epiphany” was the MBTI. We have never sought ourselves-how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also ” our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.” ~ Friedrich NietzscheĪn intelligent friend of mine who is pursuing her PhD in psychology has recently made what I thought was a shocking statement when she told me that most psychologists consider the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test pure nonsense. “We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge-and with good reason.
