Even if we don’t know them personally
INFJs usually conceal themselves very well but if we notice these traits in someone there’s a high chance that person is an INFJ
- They are essentially reserved. But they won’t let you see they are unless you are extra perceptive. They may even mislead you into thinking that are in fact the very opposite of reserved.
- They are firm in their opinions. Note: there’s a difference between being blindly rigid or inflexible and being firm.
- They are highly intuitive. Their intuition drives them like a ship’s propeller. INFJs don’t function without their intuition.
- They are highly intelligent, but many people who aren’t trained to identify intelligence won’t be able to tell that.
- They are willing to admit when they are wrong.
- Not big on small talk. They hate it. Like really really hate it.
- They don’t follow trends. Never, in fact.
- They have strong sense of individuality that shines through their personality and is kind of impossible to miss. Some may even call it attitude, pride and arrogance which it is most certainly not.
- They can be some of the kindest and most gentle of all people. Chances are they have a past that they don’t talk about.
- They have an old-soul-wisdom that astonishes people and makes them wonder where or how could they have gotten all those wise wise words.
