- [Narrator] Ooh, it's those four little letters,
that by now you've probably seen, encountered
or tested for the Myers Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI.
You may simply know it as that personality test.
If your results said you're an INFJ,
that stands for introverted, intuitive, feeling and judging.
The title's given to INFJs are advocate or idealist.
It's also the rarest personality type accounting
for only one to three percent of the population
based on the USA.
After getting a result like this,
we can often wonder if it's true.
Here are a few key factors
that can indicate your true INFJness.
Before we dive in, just wanted to mention
that there has been a huge decline
in mental health around the world,
which is why we're so committed
to creating more content than we ever have.
Stay tuned and thanks for being a part of our journey.
Now let's begin.
Number one, you tend to take
an all or nothing approach to life.
Go hard or go home, am I right?
This phrase seems to have been created for the INFJ.
They really get into things, really diving passionately
into achieving those big dreams they have
and always valuing quality over quantity.
They aren't satisfied with the superficial or casual.
They seek deeper truths and authenticity.
This zero to a hundred approach
does unfortunately make them prone to burnout,
so they need to carefully balance that drive with self care.
Number two, everyone tends to gravitate towards you.
In the strive for a deeper connection
and dissatisfaction with the superficial,
INFJs tend to draw in those that want to open up.
There isn't a specific action or a sign,
but they somehow give off the vibe to others
that they are open to hearing other's deepest worries,
dreams, and thoughts.
Being excellent listeners with the ability to communicate
in an easy to understand manner doesn't hurt either.
Ironically, they themselves are somewhat private people.
So they'll often act as the receiver of information
rather than the giver while warming up to the other person.
Number three, you have a natural talent for language.
Alone time is creative time for these types.
That I in INFJ does stand for introverted after all.
They find their alone time enriching and entertaining
as they usually have a variety of hobbies.
As speaking to others about their own feelings
can be difficult, they often channel it through writing.
True to form, a large number of legendary writers are INFJs
like Goethe, Dostoevsky and Agatha Christie.
Number four, you make decisions based on your intuition.
Rather than clinically calculating probabilities
based on past performance or track records,
the INFJ critiques their environment
and scores it based on how they feel directly.
They fly with their gut feeling,
but since they seek the core of any issue
to understand it anyhow, their gut feeling is rarely wrong.
Number five, you absolutely despise interpersonal conflict.
This has to do with the INFJ's altruism and insightfulness.
While some enjoy some body prowling
or find excitement in arguing,
all the INFJ feels is upsetting turbulence and instability.
They find it easy to pick up on people's true motivations
and feelings and that makes the discord
even more disturbing for them.
They take responsibility for it
in trying to make sense of the argument
long after the immediate conflict is over
to ensure that those they care about aren't hurt.
Number six, you are concerned
about what others think of you.
Where do you spend your time and emotion?
INFJs have significant personal investments
in getting to know people on a deeper level.
They wanna make the world a better place
and that includes those around them.
They want people to be better for having known them,
so they are quite sensitive if they believe
they've not met someone's expectations.
It feels like a failure on their part
to not make things better overall.
And number seven, you have principles etched in stone.
These personality types aren't about to waffle around
in their beliefs and values.
They have standards, they have ethics.
If someone's trying to pull them
into a prison break or a bank heist,
some major spin doctoring will have to ensue
because the simple bring isn't going to cut it.
They are the ones who would argue
with Darth Helmet that good is not dumb
and would go against the corrupted leader
even if the majority is falling in line.
The INFJ will see themselves deep within the core
of a person or a situation,
ensuring that everything they do is meaningful
and adds to their sense of purpose in life.
Despite being an introvert, they'll passionately crusade
to uphold their ethics and beliefs
no matter the opposing force, so watch out.
The INFJ may be rare, but they sure do leave an impact.
How do you feel about these traits?
What do you recognize, if anything?
Please discuss, but keep it civil
because an INFJ might wish to join in.
Thanks for watching and see you soon.
