| Description:
INFJ’s enjoy connecting people to ideas and possibilities that relate to their long-term goals. INFJ’s are driven by their vision, values and sense of personal meaning in their work. They like to develop potential in others and prefer to lead by example rather than seeking positions of authority. They are creative and like to work independently and can bring a lot of dedication and focus to a project. They can usually manage complex projects and enjoy opportunities to express themselves in some creative way. INFJ’s like to be challenged intellectually, have in-depth conversations, and speak metaphorically using symbols and other figures of speech.
