Did you realize that the INFJ personality type is only found in 1.5 percent of people worldwide?

You probably already know there are many things about your personality that make you different from your friends.

That statement is very true if you’re an INFJ on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality table, you are the rarest Myers-Briggs type.

An INFJ is one of the sixteen different personality types identified by prominent psychiatrist Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types and later popularized by the MBTI.

The acronym INFJ stands for introversion (I), intuition (N), feeling (F), and judging (J).

INFJs tend to be quiet and reserved and prefer interacting with a few close friends as opposed to a larger circle of acquaintances. Unlike extroverts who are energized in social settings, introverts expend energy in social situations.

INFJs also tend to be more abstract than concrete, focusing more on the big picture rather than the details. They look toward future possibilities rather than regarding immediate realities.

INFJs are inclined to value personal feelings more than objective criteria. They tend to prioritize social implications over logic when making decisions.

INFJs will plan their activities thoughtfully and like to make decisions early. They feel a sense of control when life is more predictable.

Many people learn they are INFJs when they take the MBTI in college, as part of their psychology class curricula, after getting hired for new jobs, or just for fun.

Even if you haven’t taken the MBTI before, you might suspect there are characteristics about you that make you stand out from other people you know.

Below, we’ll look at specific indicators that show the INFJ as the rarest personality type in the world.
