We all have our share of quirks. Abnormality is sort of the norm but people tend to try and conceal them so as to appear normal by conventional standards. Here is a look at some of the quirks you might have based on your MBTI personality type.

INFJ

Among the INFJ quirks is their contradictory nature. INFJs are full of dualities such as their ability to seem both extraverted and introverted. They are interested in inclusivity and tolerance of others but are very exclusive with regards to who they allow into their innermost circle. They desire authentic connection with people but often wear a mask that conceals their true selves. They have a capacity to be chameleon-like to fit in with groups but also have a penchant for rebelling against the status quo and going their own way.

Typing other people can be a challenge, especially if you do not know them personally. If you cannot ask someone about their personality, the best you can do is collect clues and make an educated guess. Here is a brief look highlighting some of the characteristics to help you spot or recognize a person’s Myers-Briggs personality type.

INFJ

You can spot an INFJ by their edgy and sometimes brooding demeanor that is interspersed with flashes of light-heartedness and enthusiasm. They are the ones who often act as the moral voice in their group. They seem very insightful and wise and often seek to point out the nice things they observe in other people and make them feel good about themselves. INFJs can often be found in the arts especially that of drama and theater. They are likely to be a bit of a klutz and accident-prone thanks to their inferior Se. INFJs are often polite and careful not to offend other people although they themselves may get their feelings hurt more frequently than they care to count.

The most insulting insults are the ones that directly clash with what we accept as part of our ego identity. Here are the worst insults each of the 16 MBTI types is likely to take offense to.

INFJ

Insulting an INFJ is not hard because they are pretty sensitive to criticism. They however may take special exception with insults about their character, sense of integrity and the quality or value of advice they give. INFJs hate being accused of being evil or malevolent sinse they they tend to view themselves as someone who has humanity’s best interests in mind. Rejecting their advice, minimizing their feelings (like telling them to “get over it” or toughen up) and mistaking their kindness for weakness are all offenses likely to hit INFJ the hardest.

In a dangerous world, you must fight to survive. The streets are full of snakes waiting to do you in as soon as you let down your guard. Even the most innocuous person can be a wolf in disguise so don’t underestimate them. Here is why each of the 16 MBTI personalities can be a danger to you.

INFJ

INFJs can conceal their true feelings from others and project an image or facade that is deceptive. They can be like social chameleons, reading the people they interact with and modifying their own behavior to effectively blend in. The INFJ can pretend to be obtuse and harmless when in fact they notice and pick up a lot of information about people that can be weaponized against them. INFJs have a strong will and can shift from being altruistic to Machiavellian when it comes to fulfilling their ends.

An apple a day keeps the doctor at bay. Here’s what the 16 MBTI personalities are apt do with an apple.

INFJ

INFJ eats the apple because it is good for their health and then plants the seeds for the benefit of future generations.

When it comes to authority, people seek to either comply, defy or obtain it. When authoritative power is exercised properly it’s beneficial but when abused, it becomes oppressive. And regardless of how you feel about authority, nobody likes having it shoved down their throat. Here is a look at how you likely react to authority based on Myers-Briggs type.

INFJ

INFJ respects authority and falls in compliance so long as they do not feel coerced or disrespected by it. INFJs can appreciate the utility of authority in maintaining order in society and to enforce policies (at least the ones they agree with). All INFJ wants in return is to be shown the same respect, dignity and compassion they are willing to give elected officials and individuals occupying positions of power. If INFJ perceives an authority to be morally corrupt, then all that will go out the window.
