Ok now that’s out of the way, let’s get started.
INFJs can see into the future
It isn’t as grand as time travelling or predicting the future directly but it also
isn’t an exaggeration when they say their hunch is right.
INFJs can pick up on the tiniest of things that add depth
and prediction to people and outcomes.
Ranging from word selection, micro expressions, tone, pause, glance and body mannerisms.
They can read people and situations, and more often than not, can predict what will happen.
Sometimes their foresight is good, sometimes bad, and most of the time, they are likely
to be proven true.
INFJs are always known to be intuitive.
They can read through the lines.
That’s how they’re able to “see into the future”.
They notice verbal or non-verbal cues that people tend to miss.
Frequently, they catch themselves saying “I told ya so!” or “Omg, how did I know?”
and can come as a shock to people around them or even to themselves.
Their intuition is sometimes so on point and it seems like they’re constantly in the
right place at the right time,
to the point where it feels like they’re in sync with the universe.
So when an INFJ tells you that something is going on, listen to them because you never know,
their foresight might actually help you in the long run.
INFJs have deep empathy
INFJs might have been told that they are too sensitive or too emotional.
They might feel the same emotions as their friends when they are feeling particularly
happy or distressed.
This is because they empathize with others easily.
INFJs have an uncanny ability to absorb the moods and emotions of those around them,
deeply feeling their sorrow and delight.
They know how to reach out to others and make an emotional connection with them.
People feel heard, cared for, and understood when they interact with them.
Perhaps they've always been able to sense other people's emotions and physical problems
as if they really were their own.
Only 1 to 2% of the population has this level of hyper sensitivity.
They can become inspirational leaders and powerful counselors because of their talent
of empathy and insight.
However, because of being deeply empathic, INFJs are also prone to feeling drained after
spending time with others.
They are typically introverts who require a certain amount of alone time to recharge.
But, at the end of the day, it's important to recognize both the benefits and the drawbacks
of being an empathic INFJ.
Empathy can appear to be a superpower in a society where so many people struggle to identify
and express emotions.
INFJs have self-discipline
Self-discipline is extremely important to INFJs, and they work hard to preserve a sense
of internal control.
They don't want to be seen as someone who can’t be trusted; therefore, they avoid
being careless or irresponsible.
INFJs don't believe in blaming others for their mistakes and take full responsibility
for their actions.
They desire to be perceived as capable of self-discipline or self-control,
which comes effortlessly to them in most situations.
INFJs think before they act, and they don't just waltz into situations without first assessing
and using their intuition.
It is something which they exercise regularly for all sorts of reasons.
It can be for spending money, diet, exercise.
Almost anything.
INFJs have a higher standard for themselves than they do for others.
People may think they're stubborn, but that's only another aspect of their self-discipline.
If they believe something is correct, it is most likely correct.
INFJs are open-minded
Although they may appear stubborn or even stiff on the surface, INFJs are actually easily
flexible in their thinking.
INFJs are usually very open-minded and good at understanding other people's points of view.
They have a natural ability to empathize with people
and can frequently put themselves in their shoes.
In other circumstances, INFJs will find themselves conversing with people they wish they didn't,
and they will be able to understand even the most negative people.
INFJs are quick to listen to others' explanations and will strive to figure out why they act
the way they do.
This makes INFJs naturally open-minded, even though they may wish they were more closed-minded
at times.
INFJs can sometimes be a bit too open-minded, and can easily empathize with people they
regret listening to later on.
Even though they understand where someone is coming from, the INFJ will eventually be
able to tell when they are wrong.
The INFJ will keep their mind open until their final decision is made about the matter.
INFJs are creative geniuses
INFJs have a strong drive to create.
They're happiest when their ideas are put together in new, creative ways.
Some INFJs write, while others paint, perform music, or do something different.
Organizational systems, training, and other forms of communication
all benefit from their creativity.
Although the manner in which this personality type creates differs, all INFJs are creative.
The INFJ personality is built on creativity, and regular opportunities to create are essential
for a healthy lifestyle.
In fact, you've probably never met an INFJ who doesn't create on a regular basis —
or at least wants to.
INFJ think differently than others, and their highly creative minds take a toll on them
that they rarely share with others.
So if an INFJ shares their ideas with you, they know that you’ll be able to appreciate
how they think and they consider you special.
But it’s important to note for an INFJ, none of these "superpowers" come fully developed.
Each one is a "diamond in the rough" that will only shine once polished.
And the polishing occurs when they practice on these skills in a thoughtful and regular
manner over time.
But keep in mind that these qualities are the seeds of greatness,
therefore the effort is worthwhile.
