They are driven to do something meaningful and purposeful with their lives. The INFP will be happiest in careers which allow them to live their daily lives in accordance with their values, and which work towards the greater good of humanity.

INFP
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
Description
INFPs are introspective, creative, and idealistic. Their primary function is Introverted Feeling in which they
know what they value. They have the ability to relate to others. Their auxiliary function is Extraverted
Intuition in which they are able to see different paths/ways of doing something. They recognize different
possibilities and long to find their meaning in life. They seek to find the underlying meaning of things.
Almost everything experienced by the INFP contributes to their value system which is then evaluated by
the INFP as crucial or trivial (Butt “INFP”).
The INFP is driven by the thought of making the world a better place. INFPs are great listeners and are
always to willing to help people. Despite being reserved, they are quite warm with people they are
familiar with. They are also generally very flexible. However once an opinion/decision violates their
values, they will aggressively defend their cause. INFPs enjoy learning in environments where they can
be flexible and creative (“INFP Personality Types”).
INFPs can be overly sensitive to criticism, even in situations where no criticism was intended. They may
also be overtly consumed with an idea in their mind that they begin to ignore anything that goes
against their values. They may also be unable to let go of a problem and themselves to become
engrossed by it. They may also develop strong grudges towards other people whom they think have
oppressed them (“Portrait of an INFP”).
Key Elements to Working with this Type
. Listen attentively to the INFP.
. Do not overtly shun their opinion.
. Be open and flexible.
