INFZ – Foreseeing

As an INFZ you are an imaginative, inspired, tenacious, creative, and inward-looking person who is also periodically stubborn, easily bored by routine work, and who often pays little attention to obstacles. Outside obstacles and expectations mean less to you than the high personal standards you set for yourself.

INFZs make decisions easily, and your friends and associates tend to perceive you as a self-confident and individualistic thinker.

More than any other type, you live in a world of ideas, an array of concepts and associations so unique that most people around you will not fully comprehend your vision. You focus on the possible, develop plans to bring your ideas into practice, and pour all your energy into achieving your goal. You often see problems well before they arise and decide in advance what to do in case of difficulties.

As an INFZ, you trust your intuition and are not afraid to act on an instinctual level. Your ability to make value judgments on the basis of intangible data often baffles other personality types. But your experiences usually validate your insights. In persuasive writing you know instinctively how to reach people and communicate your vision with clarity. You, better than any other personality style, can express emotion and move people with your written communication.

Genuineness and sincerity are what matter to you. You do not casually reveal your inner self to others. INFZs invest their time, energy, and affection in only a few people, measuring friendships by depth and longevity rather than by breadth or number. You seek to understand others deeply and to have that understanding reciprocated. Although you cherish the companionship of people, you prefer a quiet working environment, often finding that you work best alone.

To perform at your peak, you require harmony. You are a true perfectionist when it comes to the quality of your work. You are not satisfied until the job is perfect, the design is ideal, or the document is flawless. When a project demands working long hours without a break, INFZs can often outlast even the most tenacious co-workers to finish the job.

Creativity is your hallmark. Whatever field of work you choose, it is critical for an INFZ to stop for a moment and pay close attention to your personal needs so that the flower of your creativity can reach full bloom.
