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”). Careers . Artist . Architect . Counselor . Editor . Human Resources .
