WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Introduction
WHO IS THE INFJ PERSONALITY TYPE?
INFJ (Advocate) is a personality type with the
Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging traits.
They tend to approach life with deep
thoughtfulness and imagination. Their inner vision,
personal values, and a quiet, principled version of
humanism guide them in all things.
Treat people as if they were
what they ought to be and you
help them to become what
they are capable of being.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Idealistic and principled, people with
the INFJ personality type (Advocates)
aren’t content to coast through life –
they want to stand up and make a
difference. For these compassionate
personalities, success doesn’t come
from money or status but from seeking
fulfillment, helping others, and being a
force for good in the world.
While they have lofty goals and
ambitions, INFJs shouldn’t be mistaken
for idle dreamers. People with this
personality type care about integrity,
and they’re rarely satisfied until they’ve
done what they know to be right.
Conscientious to the core, they move
through life with a clear sense of their
values, and they aim to never lose sight
of what truly matters – not according to
other people or society at large but
according to their own wisdom and
intuition.
INFJ personalities might come
across as somewhat reserved, but
they are fueled by a profound
internal passion. Stimulated by
deep, reflective thought and an
enormous amount of empathy,
they dedicate themselves to the
pursuit of purpose.
Seeking Purpose
Perhaps because their personality type
is so uncommon, INFJs tend to carry
around a sense – whether conscious or
not – of being different from most
people. With their rich inner lives and
their deep, abiding desire to find their
life purpose, they don’t always fit in
with those around them. This isn’t to
say that INFJ personalities can’t enjoy
social acceptance or close
relationships – only that they
sometimes feel misunderstood or at
odds with the world.
Fortunately, this sense of being out of
step doesn’t diminish INFJs’
commitment to making the world a
better place. These personalities are
troubled by injustice, and they typically
care more about altruism than personal
gain. They often feel called to use their
strengths – including creativity,
imagination, and sensitivity – to uplift
others and spread compassion.
Nothing lights up an INFJ
personality like changing
someone else’s life for the better.
Many INFJs see helping others as their
mission in life, and they’re always
looking for ways to step in and speak
up for what is right. People with this
personality type also aspire to fix
society’s deeper problems in the hopes
that unfairness and hardship can
become things of the past. At times,
however, INFJs may focus so intently
on their ideals that they don’t take
adequate care of themselves – a
pattern that can lead to stress and
burnout.
Connecting with
Others (and
Themselves)
INFJs value deep, authentic
relationships with others. Few things
bring these personalities as much joy
as truly knowing another person – and
being known in return. INFJs enjoy
meaningful conversations far more
than small talk, and they tend to
communicate in a way that is warm and
sensitive. This emotional honesty and
insight can make a powerful impression
on the people around them.
A few close relationships,
provided that they’re genuine, can
fill INFJs’ hearts to the brim.
Thoughtful and often selfless, INFJ
personalities pour a great deal of
energy and care into their relationships,
but this doesn’t mean that they always
feel appreciated in return. People with
this personality type tend to slow down
and really evaluate how what they do
might impact others before they take
action. Consequently, it can frustrate
them when other people don’t
recognize their good intentions. INFJs
are very sensitive to criticism of any
kind and can take things very
personally.
A Personal Mission
Many INFJ personalities feel that their
life has a unique purpose – a mission
that they were put onto this earth to
fulfill. For them, one of the most
rewarding aspects of life is seeking out
this purpose – and then, once they’ve
found it, striving to do it justice.
When INFJs encounter inequity or
unfairness, they rarely give up –
instead, they consult their intuition and
their compassion to find a solution.
With their innate ability to balance the
heart with the head, these dedicated
types are hardwired to right the wrongs
of the world, no matter how big or
small. These personalities just need to
remember that while they’re busy
taking care of everyone else, they need
to pause sometimes and take care of
themselves as well.

Honestly, I agree with a lot of the things said here.
But, it said "INFJs are very sensitive to criticism of
any kind and can take things very personally."
Honestly, I'm not sure if it's because I toughened
myself due to my childhood trauma, but I am no
longer as sensitive as I was before. I'm not too
sensitive about what others say. I'm open to
criticism, and willing to improve upon myself.

I agree! I, too, was a very sensitive
individual as a child until certain events in
high-school "toughened me up"
emotionally. Although it's probably a
change for the better, I do still long for
the "openness" that that sensitivity gave
me in my younger years.
