INFJ is one of the 16 personality types in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) system. People with this personality type are often characterized by certain traits and behaviors. Here are some signs that you might be an INFJ:

Deep Empathy: You have a strong ability to understand and empathize with the feelings and experiences of others. You often put yourself in their shoes and try to see things from their perspective.

Intuitive: You rely on your intuition and are often in tune with subtle cues and patterns in your environment. You tend to trust your gut feelings.

Idealistic: You have a strong sense of idealism and a vision for how the world could be. You may be motivated by a desire to make a positive impact on society.

Introverted: While you can be sociable and enjoy spending time with others, you also need regular periods of solitude to recharge. Social interactions, especially in large groups, can be draining for you.

Visionary: You often think about the future and enjoy conceptualizing possibilities. You’re drawn to big-picture thinking and may have a desire to create meaningful change.

Sensitive: You tend to be sensitive to criticism and may take things to heart more than others. You’re also attuned to the emotions of those around you.

Strong Values: You have a well-defined set of values that you hold dear, and you strive to live in accordance with these values. You’re likely to be principled and have a strong sense of what’s right and wrong Creative: You have a rich inner world and a vivid imagination. You’re often drawn to artistic or creative pursuits, and you may have a unique way of expressing yourself.

Perfectionistic: You may have high standards for yourself and others. You’re likely to seek excellence and may feel a sense of dissatisfaction when things don’t meet your expectations.

Reserved: You tend to be reserved, especially with people you don’t know well. You may take time to open up and share your deeper thoughts and feelings.

Intense: When you’re passionate about something, you can be very intense and focused. You put your heart and soul into your pursuits.

Profound Listener: You’re known for your deep listening skills. People often feel heard and understood when they talk to you.

Remember, while these are common traits associated with INFJs, everyone is unique, and not every INFJ will exhibit all of these characteristics to the same degree.

The MBTI is just one way to understand personality and has its limitations. It’s important to view it as a tool for self-awareness and not a strict definition of who you are.
