MBTI type
INFJThe Counsel
Reads people deeply and acts on principle.
You notice what is going on beneath the surface and care about meaning more than appearance. Reserved but committed, you hold strong values, plan carefully and tend to work toward a vision of how things should be.
Is this you? Sixty statements, about ten minutes, no account needed.
The four letters
- I
Introverted
Recharges in quiet; thinks before speaking.
- N
Intuitive
Looks for patterns, meanings and what could be.
- F
Feeling
Decides by values and the effect on people first.
- J
Judging
Likes things planned, decided and settled.
How this preference often shows
- Insight into motives and unspoken needs
- Steady commitment to a purpose
- Thoughtful, well-prepared communication
Worth watching
- Say the need before it becomes a grievance
- Allow good outcomes that arrived by a different route than yours
A type is shorthand for the preferences you report, not a fixed kind of person. Most people sit close to the middle on at least one letter, and that letter can come out differently on another day. Read a type page as a mirror: keep what fits, leave what does not.
One letter away
These four types differ from this one by a single letter. That is a distance in letters, not a measured similarity; if one of your letters is only a slight lean, its neighbour may describe you just as well.
