Advocate

INFJ Personality
Advocates are quiet visionaries, often serving as inspiring and tireless idealists.

Introduction
WHO IS THE ADVOCATE PERSONALITY TYPE?
INFJ (Advocate) is a personality type with the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging traits. They tend
to approach life with deep thoughtfulness and imagination. Their inner vision, personal values, and a quiet,
principled version of humanism guide them in all things.
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them
to become what they are capable of being.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Idealistic and principled, people with the INFJ personality type (Advocates) aren’t
content to coast through life – they want to stand up and make a difference. For
these compassionate personalities, success doesn’t come from money or status but
from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world.
While they have lofty goals and ambitions, INFJs shouldn’t be mistaken for idle
dreamers. People with this personality type care about integrity, and they’re rarely
satisfied until they’ve done what they know to be right. Conscientious to the core,
they move through life with a clear sense of their values, and they aim to never lose
sight of what truly matters – not according to other people or society at large but
according to their own wisdom and intuition.
INFJ personalities might come across as somewhat reserved, but they are
fueled by a profound internal passion. Stimulated by deep, reflective thought
and an enormous amount of empathy, they dedicate themselves to the pursuit
of purpose.

Seeking Purpose
Perhaps because their personality type is so uncommon, INFJs tend to carry around
a sense – whether conscious or not – of being different from most people. With their
rich inner lives and their deep, abiding desire to find their life purpose, they don’t
always fit in with those around them. This isn’t to say that INFJ personalities can’t
enjoy social acceptance or close relationships – only that they sometimes feel
misunderstood or at odds with the world.
Fortunately, this sense of being out of step doesn’t diminish INFJs’ commitment to
making the world a better place. These personalities are troubled by injustice, and
they typically care more about altruism than personal gain. They often feel called to
use their strengths – including creativity, imagination, and sensitivity – to uplift
others and spread compassion.
Nothing lights up an INFJ personality like changing someone else’s life for the
better.
Many INFJs see helping others as their mission in life, and they’re always looking for
ways to step in and speak up for what is right. People with this personality type also
aspire to fix society’s deeper problems in the hopes that unfairness and hardship
can become things of the past. At times, however, INFJs may focus so intently on
their ideals that they don’t take adequate care of themselves – a pattern that can
lead to stress and burnout.

Connecting with Others (and Themselves)


INFJs value deep, authentic relationships with others. Few things bring these
personalities as much joy as truly knowing another person – and being known in
return. INFJs enjoy meaningful conversations far more than small talk, and they tend
to communicate in a way that is warm and sensitive. This emotional honesty and
insight can make a powerful impression on the people around them.
A few close relationships, provided that they’re genuine, can fill INFJs’ hearts
to the brim.
Thoughtful and often selfless, INFJ personalities pour a great deal of energy and
care into their relationships, but this doesn’t mean that they always feel appreciated
in return. People with this personality type tend to slow down and really evaluate
how what they do might impact others before they take action. Consequently, it can
frustrate them when other people don’t recognize their good intentions. INFJs are
very sensitive to criticism of any kind and can take things very personally.

A Personal Mission
Many INFJ personalities feel that their life has a unique purpose – a mission that
they were put onto this earth to fulfill. For them, one of the most rewarding aspects
of life is seeking out this purpose – and then, once they’ve found it, striving to do it
justice.
When INFJs encounter inequity or unfairness, they rarely give up – instead, they
consult their intuition and their compassion to find a solution. With their innate
ability to balance the heart with the head, these dedicated types are hardwired to
right the wrongs of the world, no matter how big or small. These personalities just
need to remember that while they’re busy taking care of everyone else, they need
to pause sometimes and take care of themselves as well.
