INFJs are lovely people who are among the few who do not act in a scripted manner, which
makes them honest and pleasant to be around.
They can be moody and shockingly antisocial at times, but you will soon realize that they
are highly appreciative of other people's energies, which displays a more positive side
to them.
Nevertheless, with functions that run so deeply into their inner brains, do INFJs really show
you who they are just by looking at them?
No, not in the usual sense.
The truth is that, from the outside looking in, this uncommon and unassuming personality
type is among the most difficult to spot.
In part because INFJs are uncommon in society and because they tend to be reserved individuals,
it may be difficult to identify them.
There's a lot more to be said about this, but in this video, we'll share 8 Ways you
can spot an INFJ in minutes.

Figurative language
When determining whether or not someone is an INFJ, the first and most important thing
to look for is in their language.
Their verbal clues have an impact on complex, introverted, intuitive minds, causing them
to seek deeper meanings.
Their results and conclusions, on the other hand, aren't always straightforward to express
to others.
In an attempt to put their thoughts into words in a way that others can comprehend, they
tend to employ a lot of figurative language and parallels.
They may appear to pause, glance away, or stutter in an effort to find the appropriate
words to say without appearing to be too deep or pensive.
To properly communicate their views, some INFJs may even resort to utilizing their hands
or a pen and paper.
As they try to communicate themselves as coherently as possible without losing interest in the
other person, you may expect transition words like "like and ummm" to litter their conversation.
Wittiness and fun personality
People with this personality type have a witty sense of humor.
They constantly have something to say and may be really amusing when they want to be.
Most of the time, INFJs are amusing, and their sense of humor can impress anyone.
They're also experts at making bizarre jokes and delivering quick, snappy retorts.
They almost certainly have a quirky remark for everything.
They're frequently amusing and a lot of times they're hilarious to joke around with.
In addition, an INFJ is more likely to be surrounded by an extrovert whose personality
compliments them.
If you can discover one of those personalities, the other is probably not far behind.
Peculiar listening skills
The classic INFJ personality characteristic of attentive listening skills can also be
a strong indicator of this personality type.
You may expect undivided attention, eye contact, and focus when speaking with an INFJ about
something essential.
There will be no scrolling on the phone, no interrupting, and no half-hearted responses.
INFJs ask just the most pertinent questions, allowing the other party to successfully explain
their sentiments in a way that the INFJ can comprehend.
People who have a lengthy conversation with an INFJ will not only feel understood in a
manner they have never felt before, but they can also be sure that the INFJ will remember
every small detail for the next time they meet them.
Once information is stored in their disorderly filing system, it will remain there indefinitely.
Bonus points if you say something insightful and smart that piques their interest and causes
their eyes to light up and their personalities to come to life.
INFJ stare
INFJs are usually quiet and reserved in order to effectively observe and analyze their surroundings
without being distracted, and when they're observing and analyzing, they can expect to
see the infamous INFJ stare, whether they're deep in thought, lost in an imaginative fantasy,
or simply admiring something or someone for their beauty.
There's nothing quite like the focused stare that an INFJ exudes.
Ironically, if you point this out to them, they'll have no understanding how they function
from the outside, and they'll probably have no concept why they're staring off in the
first place.
Other introspective personality types, on the other hand, may find themselves staring
off into the distance in an attempt to connect with their inner selves.
The INFJ look, on the other hand, is unrivaled in its intensity.
Need to help others
The INFJ receives a high from helping others that they can't get anywhere else, whether
it's going out of their way to open the door for someone, buying someone else food, or
even being one of the first to start cleaning up at a party.
When you spend enough time with an INFJ, you'll notice their compassion and kindness, but
it doesn't stop there.
In fact, this empathic personality type's compassion is matched with their natural common
sense and intuition, allowing them to notice people and circumstances that require assistance
before they are willing to ask for it.
That may fall under the INFJ's tendency to provide a helping hand when it isn't truly
desired or requested.
However, when this approach actually works, it can brighten their day, as well as the
lives of those around them.
Cold appearance
INFJs can be extremely kind and compassionate, but their body language and facial expressions
contradict this because they are reserved people.
In fact, if someone were to pass an INFJ on the street, they would most likely notice
that their appearance is gloomy, lost in contemplation, impatient, or perhaps slightly hostile.
However, if someone taps them on the shoulder and asks for the time, they will greet them
with sparkling eyes and a friendly grin while hurrying to get them the time in an orderly
manner.
Because INFJs are highly sensitive and introverted, it's understandable that they could feel uneasy
in some public settings.
Apart from that INFJ stare, with introverted intuition at the forefront of their functions,
the supposedly frigid demeanor is nothing more than them displaying concentration and
focus.
Regardless of the cause, the typical bystander may perceive this distant appearance as unapproachable
and intense.
Independent
In nearly every facet of life, INFJs move to the beat of their own rhythm, paying little
attention to what others think.
They enjoy their alone time and can certainly live a good existence without many people
around.
INFJs, for example, would prefer a night home over a night out in most cases.
They have specific aims, beliefs, and ideals that they don't want to have to wait for approval
from others before doing.
In fact, some INFJs have been known to live a nontraditional schedule in order to avoid
feeling bound by a job or a certain style of life.
This means they may be noted for things like solo travel, creating their own business,
and even simple things like not adhering to gender-specific rules.
INFJs desire to be their own bosses in life and accomplish things on their own terms.
In other words, when INFJs are influenced by what they want, there's no way to stop
them.
Blending in with the crowd
Despite the INFJ personality type's odd and uncommon peculiarities, which enable them
to stick out like a sore thumb in some situations, they attempt not to stand out.
The introverted INFJs tend to blend in with the background most of the time.
They don't want to be the focus of attention, and they don't want to be singled out for
something that requires a group effort.
The INFJ is noted for putting in conscious effort in order to blend in or appear normal.
For example, they are aware that they have a tendency to gaze when deep in thought, and
they make conscious attempts to avoid it as much as possible for the sake of others.
To be fair, it wouldn't be so tough for an INFJ to come out of hiding if they could choose
to be a fly on the wall during social gatherings.
Intuitive, quiet, and private at first, INFJs are possibly the personality type that is
most difficult to identify on first impression.
Only a small portion of their inner circle truly gets to know them and their warmth,
enthusiasm, insight, empathy, and witty humor, among other qualities.
Even though they can come across as serious and even unapproachable at first, the more
time you spend with them, the more you come to appreciate the depth of their wisdom and
insights into people's beliefs and motivational factors.
