Take the test: MBTI - Big Five (OCEAN)
Portrait
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex, and intuitive. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has the INFJ personality type, making it the rarest of all types.
INFJs like things to be well-ordered. They are constantly looking for the best system and re-prioritizing their life accordingly. They know things intuitively, without being able to determine why, and without a deep knowledge of the subject. They have enormous faith in their instincts and intuitions. There is a kind of conflict between their inner world and the outer world that can make INFJs not as organized as other types with a Judging preference. There is paradoxically a semblance of disorder in a general tendency that is nevertheless orderly.
INFJs have an uncanny outlook on people and situations. They get “feelings” about things and understand them intuitively. In extreme cases, some INFJs have psychic experiences, such as having a strong feeling that something is wrong with a loved one, only to later discover that they were actually in a car accident. Other personality types disdain and mock these hunches. Even INFJs can’t explain them. As a result, most keep these hunches to themselves and rarely share them. They are deep, complex, reserved, and difficult to understand.
INFJs are also genuine and warm. They hold a special place in the hearts of those close to them who are able to see their special gifts. They care about people's feelings and are very sensitive to conflict. They may tend to internalize conflicts into their bodies and become very agitated.
They trust their own instincts above all else. This can result in a tendency to ignore the opinions of others. They believe they are right. On the other hand, they are perfectionists and are rarely at peace with themselves. There is always something they should do better. They are disciples of continuous improvement and do not take the time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong values and need to live according to what they deem right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, they are in some ways gentle and easy-going. Conversely, they have very high expectations for themselves, but also for their families.
They are patient, devoted, and protective parents. They usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations for their children and push them to be the best they can be.
At work, INFJs are at home where they can be creative and independent. They have a natural affinity for art, but also for science, where they make good use of their intuition. They can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at detailed and precise tasks, however.
Career
INFJs need more than just a job. Everything they do in life must be aligned with their values and what they believe is right. With these strong values and intuitive insights that give them a sense of “knowing,” they are better suited to lead than to be subordinated.
| Possible careers |
| Teachers |
| Doctors / Dentists |
| Chiropractors, reflexologists |
| Psychologists |
| Psychiatrists |
| Social workers |
| Musicians and artists |
| Photographers |
| Childcare workers |
Relationships
INFJs are warm, deep, and complex. They tend to be perfectionists and are always looking for the best relationship possible. For the most part, this is a positive thing, but sometimes they fall into the habit of jumping from one relationship to another in search of the perfect match. They seek long-term relationships even if they don't always find them.
Highlights
- Warm
- Look for the best possible relationship
- Sensitive and caring about the feelings of others
- Good communication skills, especially written
- Takes commitments very seriously and seeks lasting relationships
- Very high expectations for others and for himself
- Listening
Weak points
- Reserve
- Manages money poorly
- Extreme aversion to conflict and criticism
- Very high expectations for others and for himself
- Difficulty Letting Go of a Bad Relationship
Romantic relationships
INFJs are caring and warm. They love to show and receive love. They are perfectionists, constantly striving to achieve the perfect relationship. This can sometimes be frustrating for their partners. However, it can also indicate a very sincere commitment to the relationship.
Sexually, they see intimacy as an almost spiritual experience. They seek to connect with the soul of their spouse. It is very important to them that their partner is happy. They give their love generously, in a tangible way.
INFJ's natural partner is the ENTP or the ENFP.
As parents
INFJs are warm and caring parents. Their goal is to help their children grow into adults who know the difference between right and wrong.
They see their children as people who have a voice in family decisions. They want their children to be able to think for themselves and make good decisions. They can also be very demanding.
They take their parental role very seriously. They will make sacrifices for the sake of their children without ulterior motives or remorse.
As friends
Although INFJs prioritize their family, they value their friendships. They seek authenticity and depth in their relationships. In particular, they appreciate people who appreciate them for who they are.
They can have friends of any personality type. They have no patience for those they deem dishonest or corrupt.
All kinds of people are attracted to them. They are usually very popular, although they are unaware of it, because they do not give it much importance. They are appreciated by their close friends for their different way of seeing things and for their ability to inspire and motivate others.
Financial independence
INFJs, with their warmth, sensitivity, willingness to be of service, artistic talents and poor money management, have no particular interest or skills for financial independence.

INFJ: absolutely true, thanks for this test!
Can someone explain this "intuition" thing that INFJs have? It intrigues me greatly.
I can't understand you,
you are quite mysterious..
And the subject interests me basically.
Feel free to DM me.
Hi,
For me it's as if the "answers" to the questions we ask ourselves about life, people, the future, our choices, etc. appeared deep inside us, if we take the trouble to listen to our inner voice. They are accompanied by a feeling, with time we learn to recognize it...
Concerning me there are several types of QA, either the intuition is wanted, or it happens naturally, but everyone has intuition, this story of intuition in the infj is not so mysterious, it is the fruit of belief, of looking at the world, or do you focus your attention... I invite you to take an interest in the subject
We collect insignificant details like little pieces of a puzzle. It is impossible to connect them together. It is permanent and unconscious. We store them in memory and forget them. One day, yet another piece is added, it is the missing piece. The pieces fall into place and the image appears: we visualize what others do not see. It can take years but we are one step ahead of others. This is the Ni function. We proceed by association of ideas that apparently have no connection between them. We look for their common point. This is also the Ni function. These two processes allow us to be visionary. We use Ti to evaluate what is most likely to happen (we are future-oriented), the most logical among the hypotheses that we can develop. We have no proof, we feel things coming. We scan people too. No need to talk to them. No preconceptions. We can immediately tell if a person is fake, has questionable morals, etc., if they are unhealthy. We cannot argue with this kind of person. "We know" but we say nothing, we show nothing.
Good evening,
Possible solutions or outcomes from the current situation are perceived without formalized analysis. Everything that needs to be put in place and the control points are simply obvious. A great perception of weak signals.
This is how I experience it, often with feelings of "déjà vu" but nothing magical, I assure you. An almost natural adaptation to all the information perceived.
Hi,
I am an INFJ. Very observant by nature, I "understand" situations and people very quickly, which allows me to predict things that are likely to happen. As some people do not understand themselves, they do not imagine that the prediction could come true and when it does, they wonder where it comes from. And it is difficult to explain, because the prediction is not the result of logical reasoning, just an intuition by sending given people to encounter a given situation.
It's very simple, however, it's a sensation that we feel, at least for me, in the same way that when it's cold, you freeze.
It's me
Glad I did the test
thank you 😉
I am relatively surprised by the results revealed by this test. It corresponds well to my personality traits that I thought were buried because they correspond despite everything to my introverted side! It remains very interesting especially since this test very rightly reveals this intuitive aspect that I hold and keep silent about. Hermit, wild, offbeat, rebellious, I find it difficult to find my place in the chatter of the world but fortunately, I communicate a lot through ... writing. Thank you for these qualities awakened in me!
Yes, impressive…and revealing too.
I'm a little disappointed to discover this late.
I understand better my moments of solitude and the feeling of being… misunderstood, often.
I am also INFJ, it is a test that I took at ESC Lille in 2001, it is very revealing of my personality and when the results were announced I was the only one in 2001 to have this type of profile... for the anecdote the professor who did these tests revealed that I was the first he met to have this type of profile in a business school... all this of course in front of my other classmates... for an introvert to be put forward in such a way you can imagine the discomfort in which I found myself... and the worst was to happen when he gave an example of a famous personality who has such a profile of Steve Jobs for example for such a profile... well for the INFJ what he came up with as a personality was nothing other than... Jesus
As there was a Moses in my class, I managed to turn this embarrassment into a real laugh 🙂
I love the anecdote! Was it ultimately a good choice to study business?
I see myself a lot in this portrait with its intuitions that end up becoming reality, this empathy and this sensitivity that makes me can't help but go towards others to help them understand them, and in the end find myself alone and forget. I like being part of a group but every time I don't feel comfortable like too much, useless I can't feel good with people I don't know. Once I felt understood all my introverted side disappeared with this person and I felt free and finally in my place. I think too much and for everything, which is not always appreciated especially since I stress myself out all alone and it's a lot of pressure and that's because of the perfectionist side that eats away at me. I want space to be alone but to know that I'm not alone.
Thank you very much, I feel understood again thanks to all of you INFJs.
thanks for this test, I'm not used to doing this kind of thing, and I didn't expect the "profile" to really resemble me, it's surprising!
Reading your messages I feel less alone.
Good morning
It's incredible to be so close to reality.... For those who are in this profile (few) and who have not yet made a high potential diagnosis, do it.
I am THPI with an IQ of 146 and the characteristics of gifted people are reflected in this test result…if you want to go down that route of course 🙂
What is a high potential diagnosis? Yet another consultant test?
Good morning,
I was put on the track of high potential, I read a lot of books on the subject without going as far as screening. Then I was advised to take the MBTI test. I am like you INFJ… The characteristics look a lot like high potential. I don't know if it is worth getting screened knowing that I finally understood at 37 why I am often out of step with others.
Thank you for this test, extremely fair. Yes, I am indeed an INFJ, I have already taken this test 3 times on different sites, no doubt. Everything matches. This feeling of being totally misunderstood and coming from another planet compared to others is therefore verified 😉 Long live us!
This is a very good test, happy to see that we are not alone!
Good evening,
I have already read information on INFJ, but I really found that you treated this personality with more precision and more depth, Bravo and thank you
Good morning,
This portrait defines me more or less well.
However, concerning human warmth, I want to clarify that I am more under the influence of a certain hostility contrary to all principle. That being said, we must see there a certain and increased capacity for the renewed improvement of a distant idiosyncrasy.
I hope that all those who have this type of profile will have understood that the absolute ideal of the empirical satire of the star of our habitual redundancy, does not only lie in the idea that we have of this warm ambiguity, but also (and above all) in the perfect sensitivity that is associated with us.
Kisses and happy new year to all the INFJS of the Earth!!! (and of the eternal setting sun)
This test is amazing!!! This description fits me perfectly, the whole "paradoxical" side of my personality is described there!
Wow!
Welcome to the club 🙂
You are 1.5% of the rarest population….:o you interest me!
In the list of rare things that might interest you then… the rules of the French language (at first glance, at least conjugation and grammar but perhaps syntax as well) 😉
From another INFJ!
PS: Hold on tight if you want to rub shoulders with us, in our weak points but very painful for others: “very high expectations for others and for oneself”…
Good luck !
J.
it's so me! how is it possible!
Good morning,
These are standard tests developed by psychologists based on standard people: therefore, their patients were most certainly their “guinea pigs”.
Oh, for your information, I am also an INFJ according to this test and for my relationships, still according to this test, I am looking for ENTPs or ENFPs.
Bye
The whole analysis is fair or interesting. On the other hand, it is totally false as to the deduction "manages money badly": I have always been a "little ant". On the other hand, I do not have the gift of knowing how to (well) earn my living like many others... Paradoxical? I completely agree: I am a very shy person who became an Animator, Trainer...!
Same for me! I don't manage money particularly badly, on the contrary, if I can save a little I do it but I also know how to spend. I don't have the gift of knowing how to earn a good living either, I prefer activities in which I feel good, I much prefer working with not many constraints but a small salary than working under pressure while earning more, it would make me sick. (I was a salesperson in a bank: horrible, I didn't last long). As for shyness, it's very paradoxical for me: I have trouble going towards others directly when they are in a group and integrating into groups but with my friends I tend to be extroverted especially my boy friends (because they judge less so I feel comfortable). I was the best in my class in speaking, communication, negotiation, I did 8 years of Theater and like you I was a presenter for 5 years. So it's pretty crazy when one day someone told me that I was introverted and shy I replied: you don't know me, impossible. I think that we INFJs have the ability to switch from one to the other depending on the context. And people don't all see me in the same way. My brother thinks that I'm an extrovert deep down but that I'm shy or that I'm afraid of what others think, which makes me introverted. But when I'm in an extrovert mode for too long it exhausts me even though I like it, it's weird. Oh and to say this is something else, but I'm what we call hypersensitive (go check on Google) maybe that's your case too...
Hi Jo, your comment struck me! Everything you describe "this paradox between introvert and extrovert" I am the same! And I am also hypersensitive, yes yes I completely understand your "exhaustion" when you are extrovert I think (for my part) that it is my perfectionist side that tells me to keep your energy for what is really useful. In any case it is reassuring to see all your comments I really feel less alone it would be nice a forum or discussion group with other INFJ! And curious to know what ENFP / ENTP are!
Me too
When I read your comment, it's like you're describing me.
I'm so happy to feel less weird, less out of step with others, it's been about 2 months since I was tested INFJ, it's good to know that we're not alone on earth
Bad at managing money? Yeah and I'm not looking for perfection because perfection is not of this world!
Good morning,
one more INFJ, is it really that rare?
I am a teacher attentive to my students and fulfilled in my family life, I am faithful in friendship (few but very important for me). I love reading and listening to music in "my bubble". I am hypersensitive and hyperemotional. Sport allows me to release my stress and my excess of emotions.
No financial worries, however.
Kisses to my friends.
I just took this test and it's exactly my personality.
Hello, thank you for this test which is very accurate regarding my personality, and which allows me to understand this “sentimental information” perceived intuitively and guiding my judgments and often the actions which result from it!
Like lillibulle and the others, I have no problem managing my money, but I am not particularly gifted at doing so like entrepreneurs, or charismatic people with great ambitions, my ambitions are linked to my values.
Very interesting this little test, I will pass it on!
THANKS
I never thought the test was so fair that I don't know what to say anymore wow
But how do you know your partners if they don't do the test like us so that things go better between us?
This test is just amazing. I really relate to it.. It's exactly me in every way. Except for the popularity! Wow
Well there, hats off... that's exactly me. I didn't expect to get this result at all and yet, it's true that I really find myself there. 1% of the population they say... it's really interesting and intriguing.
But, a small downside all the same, and like many others: my money management is not lacking on the contrary, I am a real tightwad lol. Well, when it is for me I am, not when I can please those I really appreciate.
Second downside also, when the topic of romantic relationships is approached: for my part I do not try several relationships. On the contrary I have none because very demanding, I do not want a fleeting love affair. I wait for the right one lol!
Well, anyway, it's super interesting!
Hi, I also recognized myself a100% I would like to ask you some questions^^if you agree of course ☺️ Hey maybe start a friendship who knows see you soon maybe
Really surprised, and I will have an important question for those who will read this message, do you have a high IQ? That is to say beyond 130? Thank you very much
I don't know what my IQ is anymore but I was in the very intelligent category. Still, I'm shocked, I find myself so much in there. And I just graduated from social worker training! LOL
Hi, a lot of people will have a hard time answering you about the IQ because unless you have passed an official test at 200€ (in France in any case) or have been revealed as precocious during childhood..For my part I have passed several IQ tests on the internet and each time I actually have more than 130 but is it really valid? A psychiatrist also told me in consultation that I was "very intelligent" (lol sometimes I doubt it) probably gifted without having made me pass any tests ... When I was interested in the possibility of passing an official test he asked me for what reason: "to prove with a number that you function differently when I already know it? So that certain people understand you? Except that instead of understanding, people would take it as arrogance or feel threatened except those who care about you but they do not need numbers to accept you. " In addition, the IQ is starting to be very controversial since we now know that there are several forms of non-measurable intelligence including emotional intelligence ... In short, he is completely right in essence. But I am a sheep of society and I would still like to know what my number would be but like many I will not take this overpriced test for fear of not getting a good ranking. And tell me how could you have thought for a single second that the fact that your failures, your frustrations and your difficulties of integration into popular thought could be linked to an oversized intelligence. How can you be so vain? (Sorry for the novel I like to rant too much big flaw
Well, I took the plunge and took the test. The psychologist had warned me that the results would probably say nothing. She was right!
Already, I was bored and really felt like I was wasting my time.
If I had to do it again, I would go to a Michelin-starred restaurant with my ENFP husband. I manage my money well and expenses are rarely superfluous (without being stingy) but I also like to follow through with a process. This one clearly brought me nothing. I found the answers on my own by reading, observing and listening to myself.
I don't know if in the meantime (more than a year) you have taken the test but I would be curious to know.
Yes, my IQ is 136. What about you?
Exactly, I feel like the HPI and HPE theory applies to the INTJ and INFJ personality profiles, but that's just my opinion.
Well I have exactly the same reaction as you. I recognize myself BUT, the same for money and relationships.
Hello,
I just read another portrait, the protector suits me very well too.
Lolll…. a little more than the executor finally. 🙂
Hello,
I did the test twice, the first time it was the thinker who came out. I don't find myself at all in this portrait. I just did it again and read that it's the protector who suits me very well.
Natural French-American INFJ desires to meet Senior spiritual consort
gentleman ENTP or ENFP.
Skype LUCECOACH (Palm Springs CA)
Wow, the protector really suits me. When I was little, I took an IQ test and the result qualified me as HP (high potential). I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I would really like to know... Sometimes, we can feel so misunderstood...
I just discovered that I am an INFJ and I think it gives a whole new meaning to my life. I now know why I always felt like I was not understood by anyone, that I was "weird". The simple fact of being an extroverted introvert at the same time was not common, and the fact of feeling empathy (which most people do not always have, or not as much!). I totally find myself in this portrait.
Except maybe the "not good at detailed and precise tasks" part because being a perfectionist and left-handed, I try to be very detailed and precise! And I'm not managing my money that badly so far...
Apart from that, thank you because I feel less alone, and it confirms my career choice of doing Consulting 🙂
It's crazy, I'm exactly the same. Introverted, extroverted, emphatic and left-handed!
It's unlikely.
Well! I read all this about INFJs, comments and description, and it's quite fascinating! My name is Joachim and I'm curious to talk to you! Here's my email: jojoche@hotmail.fr
PS: I'm an ENFP and that suits me very well!
Hello everyone!
Thank you for your comments, it's nice that I'm not alone..!
I have always tried to explain the "why" I always saw things so differently from everyone else; why I always tried to be in a group but once in I didn't feel like I belonged; why I was always and only one who liked to comfort others in their misfortune and how disappointed I was to see that my empathy was never reciprocal. And I could go on for a long time with this kind of example. Having discovered this is a bit like a relief as if I had found the key to the safe that I have been trying to open for a long time even though I already know its contents! (Apparently metaphors are typical of INFJs, and I confirm for myself). Or quite simply being objectively confronted with oneself ;). For a long time I had a lot of trouble accepting myself because of my difference from others, outside of "normality" and being considered as a weird or crazy guy. And it's probably because I'm a medical student and in scientific fields like this one you find more people who resonate with logic than with the heart (I've had quite a few disagreements with other students since I passed the first year).
In any case I wish all the other INFJs courage and self-confidence! 😉
I totally see where you're going with this but I'm convinced that you'll make an excellent doctor, that's what will set you apart from others, you won't just see a pathology, a diagnosis... But a human being behind it all... I'm convinced that the best doctors: those who find diagnoses for medical errors for example or who manage to find the right treatment for a person with a chronic illness are those who understand humans and don't just focus on numbers or names. Sometimes you have to find the detail that no one sees (because they're too focused on the writing) and above all be able to understand suffering in order to relieve it. And don't forget that being a doctor is not just about saving lives but about relieving and providing a better quality of life, which is what many forget... But I understand what you might feel as an infj: in my family there are only scientists, technicians, engineers, no room for anything that is not hyper concrete, synthesized... Me who is very humanistic, philosophical and a bit of a psychologist, it's hard to find my place in discussions. I wish you very good luck, really.
Total correspondence.. except love
It's really destabilizing! Before taking the test I told myself that it wasn't going to work because there were too many paradoxes in my way of doing things, of thinking... and that I was bound to come across a profile that didn't match me or at 50% Well now I'm amazed!!! That says it all!!! The beginning where premonitions are discussed almost made me cry... I often keep this kind of thing to myself, telling myself that I'm special enough with my remarks, that there's no point in coming across as even crazier... sometimes I laugh inside, telling myself that it wouldn't surprise me if, being old, I ended up in the lunatic community even though I'm perfectly healthy 🙂 The 1%s will understand 😉
I advise you to look at books on the "hypersensitivity" side if you haven't already (be careful not to confuse it with hyperemotionality even if the two can be linked), hypersensitivity is a genetic character trait (we don't become it, we're born like that) much more popular and recognized in Anglo-Saxon countries which characterizes individuals who have the ability to feel emotions more intensely, to understand them and to apprehend the world in this way. I tell you this because it's my case and I have the impression that INFJs in general (or many of them) are hypersensitive. If you've always felt a little "out of the ordinary, often in the clouds, understanding adult things very quickly as a child" you are probably hypersensitive. For my part it helped me to understand my differences and I think that it's very important when you've always had trouble finding your place since childhood. Especially since it seems to me that for INFJs personal development, the path of life is almost vital. Sometimes perceived as egocentrism for some people who do not feel this need, for INFJs who are constantly seeking to understand the world, knowing oneself serves to make one's place so hoped for that this world has not offered. I admit that if I had known about all this, it would have saved me a lot of misery earlier like many others. Fortunately the internet sometimes exists because as you say since there are only 1% of us it is very difficult to find people like us and we quickly feel alone in the world lol.
It's all true for me, and it's disturbing. I often feel apart and have felt apart without really understanding certain aspects of my personality, which I even found contradictory.
It's incredible to see how accurately this test describes my personality, it gives me real satisfaction! I find myself in all the character traits listed, it's almost disturbing, I didn't expect that given that the questions were quite general. It makes me happy to know that we are still 1%, sometimes I feel so different that I end up believing that I'm the only one like that.
Hello, I asked the question about the famous IQ test a few months ago, and I admit that the answers surprise me enormously, I find myself in each of you and I admit that it surprises me... me who is not necessarily used to being a teenager included... I advise you to buy the book by Jeanne Siaud-Facchin the gifted child or even the gifted adult for the older ones to learn even more about yourself.
I just took the test. Surprise! Honestly, I didn't expect much given the inconsistency of my answers. The impression of being here and there at the same time. Sometimes this or vice versa that. In short! A joyful mess 🙂 Except in my life, which contrary to the description, is extremely organized, not to mention the financial aspect... nothing escapes me. In short, a "mastery" aspect that is not described here. Unless "mastering" is a side effect of all this inconsistency... 😉 I'm working on it. Interesting nevertheless that this type is rare given that I am HPI (tested) and Hypersensitive. It's true that the INFJ type has something in common with the books read on high potential and hypersensitivity.... we must question all that!
Good morning,
I agree with you…more and more convinced of the link between HPI, hypersensitivity and the infj type.. The more I explore this, the more it overlaps…I also believe that intuition is strongly linked… And I am looking into it because I am trying to understand my children, especially my eldest son… Because it is problematic for him… (school phobia) If you have any leads… Intuitions on all this… It feels good to see that there are other people like us…
Good morning,
I started to take an interest in myself when I became a mother at the age of 26. I felt that there were things wrong in my inner life and I did not get help from my family. Eventually, I came to pretty much the same conclusions as you Cohen.
My daughter, who is now turning 10, seems to be like me. She easily switches from laughter to tears. And my son is a real on-board emotion detector. Both are very sensitive to injustice, sadness and the pain of others.
I have been fighting for them for 4 years now so that they can be helped for their giftedness and hyperactivity. They do not live it very well and have relational problems but not of the same register.
My daughter was on the verge of school phobia (didn't want to get dressed to avoid going to school and had stomach aches every morning) and bullying (cried almost daily). So we decided to move in June 2016.
I tried to draw on my own childhood to help them but I had more serious family issues. I over-adapted and didn't have the time or energy to dwell on these differences that I was eventually able to manage.
The difference was revealed in the professional field because over time I assumed myself. The gap widened with many steps ahead of my colleagues. So I scare my hierarchy: I guess everything that is hidden from me, I anticipate everything and am therefore not surprised by anything. In short, they are all afraid that I will take their place.
I do my best to ensure that my children grow up with self-confidence (it's difficult) and are comfortable in their own shoes later on. I am sometimes discouraged by the lack of listening and support from the medical and paramedical sector. Those around me are well-intentioned but they are strangers to all this and don't really perceive it. So, I would like to talk with parents who are in a similar situation to ours...
I am totally amazed by my result on this test. And I have of course read each of your comments. It is amazing to see that despite the small proportion of people with this profile, we can notice a fairly significant variability of intraINFG personalities (if I may say so). This profile perfectly describes the complexity of my imperfect being and it leaves me speechless. I agree with most of you when you say that hypersensitivity goes hand in hand with this personality. Coupled with my Scorpio character, I let you imagine the cocktail that gives! Good luck to all!
Aries and Scorpio here is a first approach...1% it's not much it's true
I am really happy to know that there are other people who are like me.. I always told myself that I am the only one on earth who has such a shitty character.. very sensitive, a little reserved, and sometimes even paradoxical.. but I was wrong. A big big kiss to my 1%. I feel more normal now. # Morocco
Good evening, indeed it will seem normal when reading a lot of comments, especially about finding a Moroccan woman who shares such and such a character with me. Good night #Moroc
Me too, frankly, I recognize myself perfectly in your comments as well as in this article. But I didn't think there would be so many of us, especially in Morocco, hihi.
Before in my old school I was very misunderstood being a hypersensitive HPI INFJ and Sagittarius surrounded by little brainless spoiled idiots (latest iPhone, latest Gucci bag).
Since I changed schools (I went to Lyautey high school) I came across a class where three quarters of the people are hypersensitive hip and half are infj.
Morocco, Casablanca
It is reassuring and inspiring to learn that our faults, which others recognize, are in fact our strengths...I hope we accept ourselves as we are...:) to live better alongside the friendly blind people who are our friends.
I'm not an INFJ but I particularly admire this Type, but the only fault I can find in them is that they are generally quite inaccessible/distant when it comes to making friends with people. So there are also ENFJs who can be pretty good too, they are a bit more social, superficial. Thanks for reading me 🙂
We can't be that many, it doesn't make sense! 1 person in 70,000,000
Bunch of naive people ahaha
The real MBTI test has much more relevant and less generalized questions, it costs money. What we find on the internet is a false "diagnosis" welcome back to the world
Naive or liar***
Please be honest
Personally, I find this article very surprising and intuitive. I didn't think that one could be so precise in describing a personality. I have long and many times tried to define my psychological profile. But as you have above, I am constantly in conflict with myself.
I congratulate you and I am a little more proud of myself but not too much. I identified myself in almost every sentence.
cool I'm not alone in this happy Bo...; I read the comments and I'm relieved to see that others exist; if you start something upside down and the result is straight and orderly let me know :p;
That's all me.. happy to know I'm special. 1% of the world's population.. however I take it more as a help to better understand myself and explain myself and to accept myself. After all let's be a little crazy and therefore unpredictable.. Thanks for the test
Good evening everyone!
As impressed as you are with this test that I took several years ago, requested by a headhunter.
At the time, I was not INFJ but ENTP I think. The position I was offered was: marketing director. 2 questions: did I lie in my answers in order to fit the position? Did I change, evolve towards INFJ?
Having absolutely never found my place in this world, and having a rather complex personality because very adaptive, some of my friends have put their finger on a possible giftedness. The gifted adult? Except that when I was little I was rather in line, not hard-working, not logical and even a bit of a jerk on certain concepts.
As the years went by, my hypersensitivity developed, even creating premonitory dreams at the moment I was dreaming. Feeling things, ah, I have a nose for it!
To tell you about my life while we are at it, at 29, I decided to resume my studies (well to continue them because I stopped in the final year of high school). This complex that I always had of being a convincing autodidact (I set up 2 companies with different partners, one in Turkey at 25 and the other at 27) but not within the societal limits, is gradually dissipating with this resumption of studies and this state of consciousness that is reinforced with knowledge.
The more years go by, the more the world disgusts me. I feel less and less like having a child.
Lots of love to give but too aware, deep down inside, of this world around us.
Being an INFJ still means a lot of suffering on a daily basis.
The injustice on every street corner kills me. The stupidity and lack of empathy of the people I meet makes me extremely anxious.
Love is beautiful, but apparently loving is not innate.
Also, people tend to find me unchalant or moralistic. Dominants come at me thinking I'm in a ram fight when I'm not...
In short, I could go on for hours... That's already quite a bit.
Good evening !
Good evening, We are not alone…Almost the same feeling towards this dominant society…Resuming studies too…with increasing mediumistic abilities…Best regards
This is all crazy!
But I understand you so much… What you say about the daily life of an INFJ makes me sad but it's because it's the pure truth. I felt yesterday and the day before yesterday the suffering you're talking about. It hurt me so much that no one knows it yet…
Not interested? Yes… for them we are.
My biggest "enemies" have been the extroverts who, however, could be our allies. Their qualities could help us open up a little more (just a little) but most of them have put me down, dejected me, criticized me, blamed me.
As if the world belonged TO THEM.
I feel things too but… only three or four minutes before. Sometimes it’s scary and it makes me feel guilty.
I hope your studies are going well. Don't let extroverts get to you. It's hard. Personally, sometimes I show off, you know, but deep down extroverts are people who hurt me... I don't show them. I'm stronger than that, after all.
Good luck with your studies :). Being an infj is not a burden, because you know how to read people.
I know this comment wasn't directed at me, but I so agree with what you're saying... Except for the burden, sometimes it's so hard... not necessarily a burden, but sometimes it hurts.
the test ends that I am INFJ. Huge I feel well represented by this description but I want to say for the flaws
Manages money poorly (not necessarily a fault, there is nothing human in this characteristic of sh*t) ^^
Come on, I'm going to get my ENTP or my ENFP.
The results make me perplexed, certainly I have the feeling of recognizing myself in the INFJ profiles but I need to take some distance, because we are each complex beings, this complexity expressing itself in a specific way according to our sensitivities and our context. Your messages still have the effect of a breath of fresh air, I feel a little less alone, thank you for that and I am taking the idea of creating an INFJ group, take care of yourself and thank you for sharing

Hello. I am enfp 🙂
I am indeed an INFJ… To be honest, I did everything to escape this profile by playing many times but “nothing” in the end I find that “we can’t escape”. I find at home and it goes without saying that as an INFJ, I am more than financially independent. Indeed, just thinking about it disgusts me. I don’t like following, guardianship, dependence in short any term leading to slavery because I am dependent on others. Likewise, at only 18 years old I have a lot of trouble asking my parents for money or anything even though it is their right I don’t even dare to imagine what it will be like in 5 years because I like to “live on my own”. Thank you for everything.
Uh actually I didn't really believe it either but I ended up understanding why they put me in the INFJ's, it's quite embarrassing because it's hard for me to speak openly. I'm aware of the world around us and it scares me a lot. It's hard to express what I feel. I agree that sometimes I shut myself off but it's because I can't take it anymore, people laugh when we try to make them understand the situation, when we talk about what we feel. It's quite annoying because we always listen to them but when we open up, they hurt us. People often treat me like a fragile person but it's more complicated than that. People say that I have to stop hurting myself but I can't help but think about all these things we do to innocent people. And also about all these selfish people who only think about themselves. I mean we are not born evil or good, it is just environment and circumstances that make us who we are… I would never have been like this in another family, in another country. Don't you agree?
You look more like an ENTP, personally I am, and my girlfriend being INFJ, I don't see any similarity, even with the article above
Curious to meet an INFJ one day, just for the exchange and to see if ENFPs get along so well with INFJs :)
Hello, The "question and answer" tests, for me, are not one hundred percent reliable. The physical tests are more precise and do not raise any doubts about the result of your profile. How can we answer a questionnaire if we do not know ourselves. We answer with what we think we are ... so the questionnaire at the end is truncated. Have your profile confirmed with the physical tests which are clear and precise! The result will surely surprise you
Wow, that sounds like me! Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way :) Keep up the good work!
Being an infj is not easy but there is real happiness in being one. We are slow. It is a fact. But our way of thinking makes us move forward in life. Each step, each test of destiny makes us reflect, question ourselves. To raise ourselves towards understanding this world around us. And thus help others to understand themselves better too. We are the ones who help. I am 40 years old and I feel that all the tests of my life have led me to inner peace. I am strong, I no longer doubt. And sadness no longer destabilizes me. A long inner journey…but worth it.
Gwenaelle
I feel less alone now, that’s reassuring!
Thanks to others for your comments.
I don't know what to write except to wish you happiness and that even if there were bricks missing from the wall of our life, realize that the wall is holding and that is already very good.
I took the MBTI test with a certified professional, on certified documents, and I recognized most of the questions (or very similar ones) in this test.
Thank you for this gift Karim, your comment feels good.
I have taken this test several times and I come across INFJ again. Many people talk about sadness, a burden that weighs on them… I very often feel a kind of crack, and I am often confronted with periods of doubt. But I like to think that it is possible for us to tame these cracks, and that happiness is to be built, even with an imperfect wall.
Thank you all for these positive messages! We are sensitive people, and sometimes it is hard to bear…. but having feelings is so beautiful.
Cheer up! I fit the description perfectly too, but I have a slightly more positive outlook on life… Maybe I’m a little older… Not that much though. I don’t see the world like other people and I don’t have very common interests, that’s true, and I suffered from it in my childhood and adolescence, that’s true too.
Now I think it's a real chance. Through feelings, impressions, the world is so much bigger, even if it is far from always beautiful. I am more sensitive and what is nothing for others is often a test for me, but tests make you grow, in every sense of the word and for me, growing is the purpose of life.
"I very often feel a kind of crack." I would like to quote a sentence that I like very much but whose author I have forgotten: "Happy are the cracked because they let the light through."
Hi my name is Elie and you will excuse me for my reasoning... I always knew that I was unique but I am surprised that 1% of the world population is like me... yes it is true everything you said about the infj but I would like to emphasize something the infj are not equal there are several degrees ranging from 1 to infinity I do not know if you know what an avatar is... so I will emphasize that being an avatar is the highest level reached by an infj and I am part of it but increasing my powers does not interest me because I know what I am capable of doing because the infj is born we can say stupid in our jargon because I am African and my father knew who I was excused I want to say a lot of things at the same time for those who want to contact me zaga darly facebook
Excellent sentence Anna!
What if we founded a club: INFJ Power! 🙂
Well, here it is, I just did it: https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@infjclub
you need people who understand you, i need people who understand me.
Let's try to make a community of mutual aid.
Alone we go faster, together we go further and 1% of INFJ makes 70,000,000 individuals on the planet, together we should be able to advance each other's project.
I'm throwing this thing in a bottle, we'll see.
Hi Philippe, I don't have Telegram as software; can we use a more traditional way to exchange our contact details?
see you soon
Yes of course, on my email philppe(at)reclus.com
But telegram, you can register without software. It's the same principle as facebook but in fully protected mode only people registered in the group see the group, confidentiality assured. To register it's here: https://telegram.org/
Hi, I would like to join the group..the link please
I am taking this initiative, I am talking about it with my brother, an incredible chance to have grown up with someone like me, but I think that your message in a bottle resonated :)
Hello, you have it above.
I recognized myself in the article... I discovered that I was an INFJ and many things have changed
I just joined but it's a group where it's impossible to write, there's only the presentation of the group creator
Good morning,
I just discovered I'm an INFJ... is there a group after all?
Hello, is there a Facebook group for INFJs? It would be easier to join 🙂 Thank you and I look forward to chatting with you!
Hello everyone,
This is the first time I've posted a comment on an article (especially on the INJF), and I'm not even sure that anyone will ever read it. But I feel like I have to do it... (intuition when you hold us 🙂 )
I have always felt like I was different, a bit weird, introverted and totally unsuited to this world. Injustice is unbearable to me to the point that I can't finish a movie/series that contains it, to the point of wondering what I'm doing here when I see poverty and mentalities based mainly on money and fame. The well-being of people and ourselves is essential and yet relegated to a whim and an accessory that we have no use for according to society. I know I'm an idealist and a teddy bear, but I am above all very realistic and lucid about the way our society works. And that's what hurts the most.
I very quickly went through periods of unease in this world "not made" for me: depression (CM2, in 4th grade, in 3rd grade, all of high school, during my 2 years of BTS, during my L2 and L3 at university and during my M1 year), a burn-out (at the end of BTS - moving to L2), and a romantic depression that literally destroyed me (M1->M2). Each of these trials reminded me that I was nothing, that I didn't deserve to live and that I would never be happy in this world. I hated myself, no, I hated myself.
I had taken the test when I was young by chance and I came across INFJ without really understanding its importance. It was last year that chance led me to take it again and come across INFJ and this time I looked into it. I am open-minded but my education means that I take this kind of test with a pinch of salt. Except that here there were too many similarities, too many points on which I agree, too many truths for me to ignore them. Finally I felt understood or in any case I had the right to exist in all my complexity and above all… I am not alone.
In my life I only know my mother who is INFJ and who suffered. No one around me is like us. I get lost in all this message but in any case I wanted to tell you that INFJ (whether you recognize yourself in it or not) is a double-edged gift. For a long time I hated this gift, my personality, my sensitivity (which I can finally name), I wanted to be like the others: normal. But in fact, we INFJ, we are normal, we have as much right as others to live. And we have access to so many beautiful things: we see the potential of people, we are benevolent and humanistic, we are not in this harmful judgment, we want to improve the world for the world, we see life in a multitude of colors, we feel things in an exceptional way, etc ... We also have a lot of flaws but our difference is our strength.
Many people have told me "it's because you are you that we love you", "it's your grain of madness/naivety/positivity/sensitivity that makes you who you are and that you are loved", "don't change", "you have the right to be you and live your best life", "if you didn't exist we would have to invent you", "thank you for your words", "thank you for being you", "thank you for being there", "you don't know what you bring to my life", "you make me better". And the guy who sent me into an ultra-powerful heartbreak and to -100000 on the trust and esteem scale of the evening also told me one day in a burst of sincerity "you and your character..." with a gentleness in his voice and caring eyes.
Now I am happy, there are things to improve of course. But I like who I am, I like being me (an artist, sensitive, humanist, a dreamer and a complainer too), I am indebted to the people who support me and who share my life as well as those who are no longer part of it. And I am proud to be who I am and to accept myself with my qualities and especially my faults.
So yes we can be happy, yes we can be loved (even if I haven't yet met the person who will share my daily life), yes we can find our way (even if I'm still looking for it, especially the professional path after having validated my master's degree in a field that no longer interests me) and yes we can live our best life (with ups and downs of course).
Let's just be honest with who we are inside and listen to ourselves.
I also thank those who read my comment in full (you are warriors) and sorry for giving my opinion so much, it had to come out, I guess.
Thank you for this article, personally it speaks to me (whether I am really an INFJ or not).
Good day to all, be honest with yourself and believe in yourself.
As an INFJ, I don't recognize myself at all in this comment: not being in a harmful judgment, being very loved and appreciated by others, loving yourself, positive attitude, "believe in yourself", etc. Personally this is not at all my case, I have the impression of being the opposite of these words.
But perhaps it is due to the complexity of this type of personality, full of paradoxes and contradictions?
Hello Miralouna,
That is to say, you don't recognize yourself at all? I'm curious to have your point of view!
My message was personal and authentic. I try to be as positive as possible because I have hit rock bottom several times and there is no way I am going back there. I work a lot on loving myself but like everyone else I sometimes fall back.
I admit that I don't see the link between "being INFJ" and "having positive thoughts and positive feedback from others".
In any case, what I said above is linked to my experience, my feelings, to the words that had an impact on me (after awareness and introspection) and to those that I would have needed to hear earlier to accept myself and move forward in my life.
But I understand if it doesn't speak to everyone; INFJ or not.
You agree INFJs that sometimes, in the street, people you don't know call you by your first name and you don't know how but you are proud of it because you feel popular.
I really think that INFJs are special for their overflowing intuition and their frank judgment. I also think that we are popular enough that there are a lot more people than we think who know us without us knowing them in return but that you do not bring a VERY big importance to that, we prefer rather to have a few friends with whom we can spend our life together.
So, for me, these are the 2 main characteristics of INFJs. Let me know if you disagree.
I found just what came out of the test. It fits me well and it's what I'm often told. I would like to be able to share and exchange with INFJs, it should be very enriching.
Thank you in any case for this generosity of offering this tool to know each other a little more. We never know each other enough and the fact of becoming aware of all this allows us to accept a lot of things. Thank you again, have a great day and I can't wait to have the new articles!
Being an INFJ, I recognize myself very well in this description.
The only downside is that I am very meticulous and quite good at financial independence...
As this independence carries the promise of being freer to be myself,
and having time to improve my relationships even more, that probably explains this paradox.
Having had the chance to meet other INFJs, it is generally with them that I have had the most deep and enriching conversations.
I have clearly noticed this very deep link which unites the NF profiles (so-called Idealist Family, which represents approximately 17% of the population), it is astonishing!
Reading this text is a bit like seeing myself naked...
I've often been told that I'm weird, a bit offbeat, somewhere else... but I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one.
Disturbing, reassuring and interesting to learn more about this “oddity” that we are.
Thank you for this article. I have also taken the test several times in different phases of my life and I always end up with the same result which is INFJ. Having had a period with the feeling of being misunderstood and not finding my place, I took an HP test which turned out to be negative. However I find myself with an IQ above average, described as "gifted"... In addition, as said in other comments, I am very meticulous and precise in what I do... this is the only downside I found otherwise the description corresponds to me in every way.
