The sixteen types

The Idealist

INFP

You live by a clear internal set of values you rarely announce. You want your work to mean something, and you cannot sustain anything that only pays.

Where you are strong

  • Sincere and compassionate
  • Creative with real depth
  • Faithful to your own values
  • Accepts difference in other people

Worth watching

  • Sensitive to criticism
  • Stalls without inspiration
  • Idealises, then is disappointed
  • Avoids conflict at your own expense

With other people

You love intensely and with rare loyalty. Choose someone who sees the actual you, not the version you present.

At work

Writing, the arts, therapy, education, non-profits, design.

Where to grow

Break the large goal into what you can do today. You have no shortage of inspiration; what you lack is structure.

And you?

Even the original draws criticism from researchers for how much results move on retaking. Treat the four-letter code as a vocabulary for describing yourself, not a measurement.
