brainy dose presents 15 signs you're an
infj the world's rarest personality type
the acronym infj stands for introversion
intuition feeling and judgment this
personality type is considered to be one
of the rarest of the 16 myers-briggs
personality types and makes up only
about two percent of the world's
population
people who have this personality type
have very unique characteristics that
help them stand out from other
individuals they can be incredibly
mysterious and emotionally intelligent
and are sometimes referred to as the
counselor or advocate although we may
think we know a lot about this
personality type it is in fact very
misunderstood so let's explore some of
the main traits of the infj personality
type and find out if you're one of them
number one different wavelength
infjs tend to feel like outsiders due to
the fact that most other individuals are
on a different wavelength than they are
their dominant function is intuition
they subconsciously notice patterns in
basically everything mostly these
patterns have to do with human nature
because of their secondary function
feeling which draws them toward others
intuition is an individual's ability to
subconsciously understand something
without knowing how or why they know it
since intuition works subconsciously it
can be described as a sort of psychic
ability however infjs often have a
difficult time trying to explain the
sixth sense to other people which often
leads them feeling isolated or purely
misunderstood
number two want things perfect and often
procrastinate
people with this personality type often
deal with a constant fear of failure
they strive for perfection and strive to
surpass the normal capabilities of a
regular individual this means that infjs
procrastinate a lot due to their
subconscious need to find absolute
perfection in mostly everything even
though realistically they can do all of
these things they're afraid of without
even having to try so hard with that
said infjs have a hard time dealing with
criticism because it really stands out
in their minds sometimes washing out the
positive feedback they get however as
they become more mature they find it
easier to release themselves from this
need of perfection they may allow
themselves to make more mistakes or
focus on their self-confidence to
achieve remarkable results pertaining to
their life goals number three value
beauty and quality
beauty and quality are things that an
infj strives to find in just about
everything they simply prefer to be
surrounded by sophistication and beauty
they are especially drawn to high
quality things such as fine food nice
clothes and anything of good
craftsmanship and although their focus
on sophisticated items goes against
their spiritual nature beauty is a very
inspiring and calming force to them
having said that infjs are typically
minimalists they would rather have a few
nice things than a bunch of mediocre
ones
number four exude warmth and charm
most of us don't often sit next to a
stranger and find ourselves telling them
our biggest fears dreams and personal
secrets but infjs are such charming
people that it's not uncommon for a
stranger to readily share such
information with them
people with this personality type
typically have an aura that makes others
feel incredibly comfortable and at peace
when they're around them just about
everybody enjoys being in their company
and they are very good at putting people
at ease not only are they comfortably
trustworthy and charming individuals but
they are also wonderful listeners who
speak in understandable terms and meet
others where they are
number five highly perceptive of others
infjs are able to read other individuals
very well and they are able to
understand their emotional states and
motivations in seconds on the other hand
they themselves aren't as easy to
understand and that can be difficult
when you're trying to understand someone
as well as they understand you
infjs are not only very good at reading
other people's emotions and feelings
they also use their intuition to dig
deep below the surface of another
individual's mind they find themselves
intrigued with how other people's minds
work and figuring out what makes them
unique in their own way
they can often easily tell when somebody
is lying to them or even when someone is
lying to themselves
number six absorb other people's
emotions it's common for infjs to absorb
other people's emotions and interpret
them as their own feelings for example
if somebody else around them is excited
they will often get excited as well if
someone is stressed or anxious they may
feel stressed or anxious too
feeling other people's emotions in
addition to their own can be
overwhelming but it also provides a
better understanding for those feelings
and the ability to heal and comfort
others infjs can confidently tell other
people that they're going to be okay
number 7 create deep emotional intimacy
most infjs can seem reserved or shy in
the presence of people they don't know
well they are often perceived as
mysterious or private but actually they
are quite relational it can just take a
little bit of time for them to open up
to others and show their true selves
infjs crave authentic connections and
seek to trust people on a deeper level
and because of their ability to
empathize and have meaningful
conversations they establish strong
emotional bonds with the people they
trust
number eight true introverted nature
although infjs are easy to socialize
with they are introverted individuals
they know how to efficiently blend into
social settings but they may also feel
totally at peace with a rather small
circle of friends who are trustworthy
and deserving of their love
like most introverts infjs usually get
overwhelmed and exhausted in large
social settings or crowds even though
they have an innate ability to strive in
these social settings they also need
their individual alone time to relax and
recharge number nine sensitive to
conflict
conflict tends to send infj personality
types into a state of stress
they strive to create harmonious
relationships with the people close to
them and they desire for those people to
help maintain the harmony in the
relationship when a conflict arises it
can physically disrupt their seemingly
constant optimistic nature they will
often have trouble sleeping or
concentrating when they are thinking
about a conflict that has to do with
them or somebody they care about it can
even stress out their bodies to the
point where they get muscle aches
headaches stomach pains or other
unwanted bodily disturbances
of course this does not mean that people
with this personality type seek to avoid
all conflict but over time infjs learn
to set healthy boundaries for conflicts
while standing up for their own needs at
the same time and they do so with
absolute understanding of others
number 10 future focused
willpower is a very important aspect of
this personality type infjs will often
do whatever they can to move themselves
closer to their personal goals for
example if they're in a relationship
that seems to be going nowhere or they
are employed somewhere they don't like
or don't see a future in they will break
off the relationship or quit their job
furthermore infjs are also very critical
of past circumstances and they tend to
remember the bad experiences to avoid
the negative feelings that often
accompany these flashbacks they
typically prefer to live a life focused
on the future
number 11 gravitate toward people who
need
help an infj is able to see the good in
other people however they often fall
victim to the broken wing theory as they
believe they can rescue others they
often find themselves gravitating toward
people who need help due to their
ability to compassionately help and heal
others this can be rewarding for infj
personality types but if boundaries get
overstepped it can also feel very
stressful or frustrating
number 12 intellectual thinker
infjs often find themselves thinking
very deeply about their purpose meaning
and what makes everything in their lives
the way they are they enjoy music
reading and philosophical or spiritual
matters because of their love for
learning new things and further
expanding their understanding of the
world
naturally because of their need to
understand such deep revelations infjs
do not fall victim to trivial
conversation or gossip this is an
extremely positive characteristic but it
also provides challenges in enjoying
simple things such as watching a movie
or having coffee with colleagues infjs
often have a difficult time relaxing or
doing regular day-to-day activities
without overthinking them
number 13 gifted in language
due to their introverted nature infjs
typically spend their alone time
engaging in their personal hobbies
being so insightful provides for a vast
expanse of creativity and is often
accompanied by a great understanding of
language however infjs tend to prefer
writing over speaking because writing is
an outlet that allows them to express
their creative thoughts or ideas without
as many barriers conversations with
others can easily fall short or become
negative when talking about such
opinionated matters so they avoid
talking a lot unless it's necessary
writing provides a sense of relaxation
and peacefulness because it is a wider
plane for releasing one's deepest
thoughts
infjs are often very talented and
successful writers because of their
ability to employ divine symbolism and
intrigue in their writing
number 14 work best alone or in small
groups
although infjs get along very well with
others they often do their best work
when they work alone without any
interference from others or they may
work with a few individuals whom they
trust and have similar thought process
to their own and while infjs are
emotional and highly sensitive
individuals they can be quite analytical
and scientific as well they often enjoy
a career associated with science
research or technology
number 15 focused on what's right
due to their loving and healing nature
infjs often feel compelled to protect
others they may stand up to bullies on
another person's behalf or focus on
helping somebody who is undergoing a
difficult situation in life if they
choose a career where helping others
isn't necessarily involved they will
likely donate money or find time to
volunteer for a charity infj personality
types also find themselves with a fear
of being a bad person which motivates
them to do what they believe is right
the infj personality type is complicated
and quirky and sometimes downright
contradictory and like every personality
type out there infjs have both strengths
and weaknesses but understanding their
characteristics can help others get
along with them better of course some of
these traits are things many people can
