reflections. They often seek solitude to delve into
their complex inner worlds and recharge their
emotional batteries. INFJs are introspective and
value deep, meaningful connections with others.

Intuitive (N): INFJs are intuitive and imaginative,


drawn to abstract concepts and possibilities. They
have a keen sense of intuition and often trust
their gut feelings when making decisions. INFJs
are adept at seeing the bigger picture and enjoy
exploring ideas, theories, and creative
expressions.

Feeling (F): INFJs make decisions based on their


values, emotions, and the impact their choices
have on others. They are deeply empathetic and
compassionate, attuned to the emotions and
needs of those around them. INFJs are natural
caregivers, driven by a strong desire to help and
support others in their personal growth and
emotional well-being.

Judging (J): INFJs appreciate structure and


organization in their lives. They are planners who
enjoy setting goals and working towards them
methodically. INFJs are also adaptable and open-
minded, but they prefer having a clear framework
to operate within. They are reliable and
dedicated, often committed to causes or projects
that align with their values and beliefs.

INFJs, or Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging


individuals, are beacons of insight and empathy in any
context. Their exceptional intuition, deep emotional
understanding, and unwavering commitment to
authenticity make them standout companions in various
personal and professional spheres. These individuals
thrive in roles that require compassion, creativity, and a
profound connection with others. Their empathetic
approach ensures that they create meaningful and
supportive environments, where everyone feels
understood and valued.

In interpersonal relationships, INFJs shine as loyal and


understanding friends and partners. They deeply value
authenticity and are often the ones who encourage
genuine expressions of feelings and thoughts. Although

challenges. Their deep empathy can sometimes lead to
emotional fatigue, as they absorb the emotions of those
around them. Setting boundaries and practicing self-care
can be a struggle, as their natural inclination is to support
others, sometimes at the expense of their well-being.
Additionally, their pursuit of authenticity might make
them sensitive to inauthentic or insincere behavior,
causing discomfort in certain social situations. Yet, this
doesn't mean they lack resilience; rather, they thrive best

meaningful interactions.

Furthermore, INFJs' profound understanding of human


nature equips them to inspire others and drive positive
change. They excel at envisioning possibilities and
encouraging others to pursue their passions and ideals.
While they may be sensitive to criticism, they often use
feedback as a tool for personal growth, valuing the
opportunity to learn and evolve.

In essence, INFJs bring unparalleled insight, empathy, and


a nurturing approach to everything they do. Their
commitment to authenticity, coupled with their ability to
foster genuine connections, makes them invaluable
contributors to both professional teams and personal
relationships. Acknowledging and appreciating their

Breaking down the code


The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a popular
personality assessment that categorizes individuals into
one of 16 personality types based on their preferences in
how they perceive the world and make decisions. Each
type is represented by four letters, which stand for
different personality traits:

Extraversion
Extraversion (E)
(E) vs.
vs. Introversion
Introversion (I):
(I): This reflects
whether a person is more oriented towards the external
world of people and things (extraversion) or the internal
world of thoughts and ideas (introversion).
Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): This dimension describes how
people gather information. Sensors focus on concrete,
tangible data and details, while Intuitives focus on
abstract concepts and possibilities.

Thinking
Thinking (T)
(T) vs.
vs. Feeling
Feeling (F):
(F): This dimension relates to
how individuals make decisions. Thinkers prioritize
logical analysis and objective criteria, while Feelers
emphasize personal values and the impact on people.

Judging
Judging (J)
(J) vs.
vs. Perceiving
Perceiving (P):
(P): This dimension reflects
how individuals approach the external world. Judgers
tend to prefer structure, organization, and planning, while
Perceivers prefer flexibility and adaptability.

By combining these preferences, you get one of the 16


possible personality types, such as INTJ (Introverted,
Intuitive, Thinking, Judging), ENFP (Extraverted, Intuitive,
Feeling, Perceiving), and so on. The Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator is used for self-awareness, personal
development and understanding interpersonal dynamics.

Introversion/Extroversion
Extraversion
Extraversion (E)
(E) describes individuals who are
outgoing, social, and energized by external stimuli. They
tend to be expressive, talkative, and enjoy being in the
company of others. Extraverts often thrive in social
settings, are action-oriented, and seek new experiences.
They draw their energy from interactions with people,
engaging in group activities, and the external world
around them.

Introversion
Introversion (I)
(I), on the other hand, characterizes
people who are more reserved, reflective, and find energy
in solitude. Introverts are often deep thinkers, enjoy
introspection, and prefer one-on-one or smaller social
gatherings. They may appear quieter and contemplative,
needing time alone to recharge and process their
thoughts and feelings.

Letter combinations

The “cognitive core”


(SF/ST/NF/NT)
In the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the cognitive
core typically refers to the second and third letters of the
four-letter type code. These two letters represent the
primary cognitive functions that individuals use to gather
information and make decisions.

The second letter (S or N) signifies the individual's


preference for how they gather and process information:

S (Sensing) individuals tend to focus on concrete, tangible


details and facts.
N (Intuition) individuals tend to focus on abstract
concepts, possibilities, and patterns.
The third letter (T or F) represents the individual's
preferred decision-making process:

T (Thinking) individuals tend to make decisions based on


logic, objectivity, and analysis.
F (Feeling) individuals tend to make decisions based on
personal values, emotions, and empathy.

Together, these second and third letters form the core


cognitive preferences that influence how a person
perceives and evaluates the world around them. These
preferences guide their thought processes, decision-
making, and interactions with others.

SF
SF (Sensing-Feeling):
(Sensing-Feeling): SF types are practical and

(Intuition-Thinking): NT types are strategic and
analytical. They excel at conceptual thinking and
problem-solving. They make decisions based on logic,
objectivity, and a desire to understand complex systems,
often pursuing innovation and intellectual challenges.

The Outer Image (EP/EJ/IP/IJ)


The concept of the "Outer Image" in the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI) can indeed be associated with the
first and last letters of the four-letter type code, which
represent the individual's preference for extraversion or
introversion (E or I) and for judging or perceiving (J or P).

The

and these groups are sometimes associated with the
letters SP, NP, FJ, and TJ:

SP

primarily motivated by the desire for physical pleasure
and practicality. They are often driven by the pursuit of
comfort, enjoyment, and sensory experiences.

the desire for influence and control. They aim for
authority, leadership, and a sense of power in their
interactions.

TJ
TJ (Virtue-Point):
(Virtue-Point): Individuals in this group are
motivated by the pursuit of moral and ethical principles.
They prioritize values, justice, and a sense of doing what
is right.

Kiersey's Temperaments
(SP/SJ/NF/NT)
David Keirsey, a psychologist and author, developed a
personality theory known as "Keirsey's Temperaments"
as an extension of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI). Keirsey categorized people into four
temperaments based on their communication styles,
values, and preferred modes of interaction.

Keirsey's Temperaments provide a more accessible way


to understand and apply personality theory in various
contexts, such as career development, relationships, and
personal growth. They focus on observable behavior and
preferences, making it easier for individuals to identify
their temperament and connect with others who share
similar temperaments. However, it's important to note
that Keirsey's Temperaments are an adaptation of the
MBTI and not a separate personality assessment.

Guardians
Guardians (SJ):

Relationships - love life


In matters of the heart, INFJs approach love with
profound depth and empathetic understanding, shaping
their relationships with unwavering loyalty and genuine
compassion. Just like ISTJs and ISFJs, loyalty and
emotional connection form the core of their romantic
endeavors, seeking relationships grounded in trust and

However, their reserved nature can create challenges in

openly articulate their feelings, relying on their actions
and intuitive understanding to convey their affections.

For INFJs, a fulfilling love life hinges on mutual respect,

connection with an INFJ. While they may not engage in
grand displays of affection, their consistent emotional
support and intuitive understanding create a profound
and soulful connection in their relationships.

In navigating romantic relationships, INFJs require

contentment. At times, their deep emotional investments
can transform into emotional exhaustion, and their need
for meaningful connections may come off as overly
intense. This preference for profound intimacy may clash
with a partner's desire for simplicity or
straightforwardness, creating moments of tension.
Recognizing and addressing these challenges with
patience and understanding can help INFJs navigate the
complexities of balancing idealism with the reality of
human relationships.

Types of Relationships (INFJ):
