    We’re on every headline as the world’s most rare type, according to US-based statistics. At the same time, INFJs are everywhere. So there’s bound to be a ton of mistypes right? Sure, but the problem is often, I would argue, the reverse. Because the INFJ and introverted intuition is so misunderstood, a lot of the…

    “Why are you not offended?” people ask me sometimes. The question is not why, of course, if you have bad intentions, or if you’re being rude, I’m offended. I take aggression and attacks personally if they are personal, and it matters to me what other people think and what they want. I distance myself from…

    What I have discovered is essentially subvariations inside a type depending on their strongest cognitive functions. All INFJ share the same four core values and should all relate in part to these descriptions. Your subtype is based on personal preference: Is it more important for you to possess the truth, or is it more important…

    An acquaintance of mine recently suggested I was an INTP, like Carl Jung, and I wanted to say why I’m an INFJ, and why Carl Jung is not an INTP.   INTPs value Diagnostics (TP) Creativity (NP) Philosophy (IN) and Perfection (IT). They project a set perspective or viewpoint on reality and they study the…

    The shadow side of an INFJ is the ESTP. And while the ESTP is often misportrayed an aggressive jock, INFJs in the ESTP mode are not necessarily aggressive types. Thinking and Perceiving in itself is rarely an aggressive or controlling function. INFJs under the influence of ESTP don’t turn into some sort of shadow jocks.…

    I think there is a common misconception that INFJs and INTJs intentionally withhold information from others, when in fact, most of the time, it is that INFJs and INTJs spend a longer time to search for information and to double check if information is true. Check the video on INFJ and INTJs secretiveness now! Dealing…

    Let me tell you about a huge, huge mistake that people make when they’re learning to type others. Because too many get caught up in people’s intelligence, social competence, and empathy.
