MBTI and Careers for INFJ

'An exploration of career options suitable for INFJ personality types according to MBTI.

MBTI Magic Castle: What Careers Suit INFJ? INFJ individuals possess unique characteristics that make them suitable for specific occupations. For example, in the field of education and consulting, they can be excellent teachers, counselors, or career advisors. These roles allow them to utilize their knowledge and insights to help others. Their high level of execution and strong sense of purpose, along with a focus on morality, make them well-suited for educational and inspiring positions. Take counseling, for instance. It's a profession that involves interacting with people but without excessive social pressure. It requires high Ni and Fe functions. Counseling is also the official career for INFJ and is the most reliable and comfortable choice for them. Teachers need Fe and Se functions. Although it's the official career for ENFJ, it's also a good option for INFJ. In primary and secondary education, INFJ can choose various subjects according to their preferences, such as Chinese, music, and art. In higher education, INFJ generally has good Ti and can engage in scientific research. Those with well-developed Ti can pursue a postdoctoral degree and become a teacher. In the field of art and design, INFJ's natural inclination for deep thinking and enjoying solitude, along with their unique perception of daily life, makes them suitable for artistic occupations. Their unique creativity and depth of thought make it easy for them to produce outstanding works. These occupations often offer flexible time, which suits INFJ's need for flexible scheduling. Writers and self-media writers need relatively high Fe, Fi, and Ne. Pure writing may not be the most ideal for INFJ. Only in-depth writing on a specific field that allows them to use their Ti function is suitable. Self-media, which requires Ti and Se, is a good choice for INFJ with high execution and self-discipline. The essence of self-media is writing, but it's continuous observation and reflection on a specific field. There are also video-oriented self-media platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, which require relatively high Se for INFJ to be competent. As for government jobs and counseling positions, an excellent government worker must have a sense of mission rather than just working for the sake of it. INFJ individuals are idealistic and not overly practical. They hope to use their abilities to serve others and solve problems, which gives them a sense of satisfaction and more expectations for their work. As the head of a non-profit organization, they can better exert their sense of service and noble sense of value. This allows them to help others not just for profit but out of a sacred mission. Serving others is not a burden but a source of happiness for them, enabling them to experience their own value.
