Providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent 'givers.' As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic INFJ character

This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them,

On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious 'soul mates.' While instinctivelyĬourting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people - a product of theįeeling function they most readily show to the world. INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. This rare combination of vision and practicality often results in INFJs taking a disproportionate amount of responsibility in the various causes to which so many of them seem to be drawn.

Strongly humanitarian in outlook, INFJs tend to be idealists, and because of their J preference for closure and completion, they are generally INFJs are distinguished by both their complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of their talents.
