INFJs also tend to be highly sensitive persons (HSPs). Their nervous systems are wired to be more sensitive and permeable to all sorts of stimuli-both inner and outer. This sensitivity can be a double-edged sword for the INFJ. On the one hand, it can cause them to be more easily overwhelmed or overstimulated. As children, INFJs are often more timid and react more strongly (e.g., crying) to stimuli that registers as unproblematic for those of other types. I’ve talked to many INFJs who were afraid trying new things as children, such as trying unfamiliar foods or going on rollercoasters. While others may be inclined to see the INFJ’s tentativeness as excessive or unnecessary, it makes perfect sense when one considers their innate sensitivity. In many respects, their sensitivity resembles the phenomenon of night vision, in which even the dimmest of lights are experienced as intense, even uncomfortable.ĭespite the challenges associated with their sensitivity, having “thinner skin” allows INFJs to soak up more information, including subtleties and nuances that are lost on other types. In my view, this sensitivity is part and parcel of their perceptiveness, playing an integral role in their intuitive capacities. The notion of the INFJ personality type was first been put forth by Myers and Briggs in the 1940s, building on the earlier work of typology’s founding father, Carl Jung. Only recently did a website called 16 Personalities propose the addition of the “turbulent” (T) and “assertive” (A) variables. “INFJ-A” personality types, including examining why the former appears to be far more common.

In reviewing Google search data, INFJ-T is searched about three times as often as INFJ-A, which suggests that the turbulent designation is significantly more prevalent among INFJs. In all likelihood, this stems from INFJs’ innate sensitivity. #16 PERSONALITIES PREMIUM PROFILE PDF ENTP TORRENT FREE#.
