<\/p>\n
INFJ personalities are gentle, caring, and creative. These personalities are also nicknamed as Idealist or Advocate. Although usually reserved, INFJs are highly sensitive toward the needs and feelings of others. Since they have high moral standards and a strong focus on the future, they are termed as idealistic.

With only one to three percent of the population exhibiting such personality type, INFJs are extremely rare to be found.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They open their ears fully and avoid any distractions to hear what someone has to say. If someone important to them needs assistance or guidance and require someone to hear them out, INFJs are always there to help them out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being empathetic towards others, they are one of the best types of listeners. Everything that has been told to them, they will listen and absorb carefully and will respond with understanding and compassion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
