1.
All-or-nothing syndrome
Love fiercely, or not at all; exercise relentlessly and eat well, or pig out on the sofa and eat
junk food; work 20 hours a day for days on end, or sit and procrastinate all weekend
like it's no one's business.
Doing the middle of the road seems not their type, at least not for any appreciable length
of time.
INFJs are simply wired to do things "with Passion or not at all".
Middle of the road feels like a stagnant approach to living, It seems bland, uneventful, uninspiring.
No room for development.
No opportunity to go off the beaten track in search of your own path.
2.
The inability to settle
This is related to the all-or-nothing syndrome.
INFJs are searching for the "one," although not necessarily in the romantic sense (although
that still applies), but in the sense of a life mission.
INFJs seem to be on an eternal quest to find an endeavor or field of work that gives us
that feeling of contributing to the greater good, of helping others, or of creating a
legacy.
When settling into an occupation or project, if they are not feeling it, they invariably
move on.
They would rather escape and look for something else than pursue something that doesn't
stir up any emotion within.
3.
Perfectionism
If something doesn't go as planned, or if people let them down, then the initial passion
for the project wanes.
Often, people or companies just don't live up to their expectations and disappointment
sets in.
Going from project to project, vision to vision, but seemingly unable to realize those visions
and in turn struggle to make a living.
Wrong people, wrong time.
If things doing good, they will see the positive lesson needed to learn from those experiences.
4.
Solitude vs. friendship
Given the INFJ's Extroverted Feeling (Fe) nature, this seems somewhat of a contradiction.
They have the need to develop intimate ties; they crave deep and meaningful relationships.
Ones that inspire, motivate, and sustain the growth of both parties.
In order to develop that degree of closeness, intimacy, and freedom, a lot of time or energy
needs to be expended.
And therein lies the problem.
If they have a friend or partner, they want to be able to give them their all, so anyone
outside that small circle usually gets relegated to "acquaintances."
If they can't give their best to any one, they'd rather not to give at all.
5.
Full of contradiction
The INFJ's Ni/Fe functions are also great for mirroring and adapting to different environments
and people, so they can appear vastly different in different scenarios.
They can be the life of the party amongst those who "get" them, but come across
as painfully shy, solitary, and quiet to others.
They can fit in when they want, but more often than not, they rebel fiercely.
6.
Writers not talkers
They have difficulty talking on the spot, on the phone, and in person, but when it comes
to writing, they can often knock out masterpieces.
No wonder there are a disproportionate number of INFJ writers.
We can mumble, splutter, stutter or just be plain mute.
In writing, their ideas seem to flow effortlessly, although they have to reread several times
and tweak often before they are happy with their writing.
What might be the reason for this?
I think it boils down to time: they have the ability to see many different possibilities,
eventualities, and gray areas in a given scenario.
Their Ni also means they live inside their heads.
So they may have several conversations going on at once, arguments even.
And all this internal cacophony serves to create a bottleneck, which they have to verbalize.
Sometimes it spews out in such a random fashion that it makes no sense.
Yet when writing, they have the time to sit down, process the influx of ideas, then refine
them until they come across eloquently and succinctly.
Their writing brings order to their mind's chaos and allows others to understand it.
7.
Seeing the big picture and the details
This can be a good trait if they are balanced.
However, given their contradictory, all-or-nothing nature, it can be an ongoing challenge.
As visionaries, INFJs see the big picture and play out scenarios from any given circumstance
to its logical conclusion.
But they also have the ability to delve into the minutiae of a project, which can help
realize that vision.
The problem arises when they stay at one extreme or the other, which fails to drive the project
forward.
8.
Dot connectors.
Visionaries.
Doers.
For all the issues INFJs experience, one great things they have is that they are compassionate
visionaries and doers.
They may not finish every project or realize their perfectionistic vision for it, but they
almost always give it a go.
If they have the passion for an idea, and it will serve others, then endeavor to accomplish
it and make a difference to at least one person.
Well, that's 8 weird traits of the infj personality type.
